About
EAMODOS is a role-playing game that leverages internet technology to enhance old-fashioned RPG basics, like character sheets, dice, and the written word. These elements come together to form a web-accessible game that anyone can play and anyone can design.
Its name is a portmanteau of "Eamon" and "Modos." The
Wonderful World of Eamon is the 1980s computer game that inspired the style of
EAMODOS.
Modos RPG is the modular game that provides most of the basic rules for playing
EAMODOS. Some say that the name is also tied to
an old legend.
The game's hub is a fictional, medieval guild hall, where players create and equip characters, interact with other player-characters, and choose quests to undertake for gold, gear, and experience. Despite the guildhall's setting, the quests can take place anywhere and anytime, because anyone can write a new quest that is limited only by that person's imagination.
To play EAMODOS, you need a web browser, dice, and a character sheet. You play by clicking through hyperlinks, reading about the entities in the game, rolling dice to determine outcomes, and using your character sheet as a reference and to make notes. A game of EAMODOS can be very much like a solo-RPG, with the player acting as a character and as the game master.
