Gamifying Climate Action!
Welcome! Fastfrwrd tackles climate action through gamification and story-telling. Earn Dews (eco points) in your team to climb the ranks and the leaderboard on a carbon negative platform. Perform eco-actions with others and build your reputation. Navigate to ‘Activity’ to view what others have been up to for inspiration. Fastfrwrd. Portal to New Perspectives, with a hyper-inclusive governance structure!
Do Something ECO
On Fastfrwrd, you can post evidence of eco actions you take and post this proof on the timeline for others to be inspired to action and to get Dews (eco points) to spend.
Report it for DEWS (eco points)
Get Dews (eco points) for sharing your proof of eco action in order to spend it on games, digital goods on the marketplace and services.
Buy Stuff!
You can buy things that other ‘players’ decide to offer, that can be anything from music, to ebooks, to English language lessons, even possibly in person services such as a scuba diving lesson for Dews. These rewards are to thank you for making a more livable planet, who knows what people will offer in thanks?!
Get References for Eco Actions with Others!
Let’s face it. Anyone can post anything on the timeline for Dews. So, in order to reinforce trust, when you do something eco together with others on the platform, you can leave each other references! Stay on topic though, it’s just about the eco work, not a personality review!
Sell digital goods and services for Dews to encourage each other!
Anyone on the site can offer a digital product or service on the marketplace. This way, everyone can reward each other. But you can also earn money for these goodies! You can also make a distinction between what people get for purchasing with Dews and what they get if they purchase with money! Purchasing with money plants a tree in a food forest in a climate stricken region.
Save the Planet!
The whole point is to save the planet! There is no punishment for cheating, technically, although people can refuse to perform services for you if your timeline is iffy. The platform is 300% renewable so cheating here is somewhat better than making mischief elsewhere. But the punishment for cheating is really how our planet responds to pollution. So if you don’t want that to happen, working on Fastfrwrd towards bigger and bigger impact prevents that. Who knows. Maybe we can save the planet!

Fastfrwrd is workshopping a games multiverse where all the worlds are facing climate catastrophe due to interlinked issues stemming from the center world of ‘Sols’ who have interdimensional travel. Stay tuned or play our prototypes!
There are hivemind societies, werewolves, ghostkeepers milking ghosts for ectoplasm, future magic in the world of The Stellar, a timeline where Indigenous Societies thrived, and more all being workshopped. These games are Opensource for the most part or Creative Commons, all about exploring themes of earthcare and the issues surrounding societies facing unstable planetary systems.
A Nature Benefit System is one in which people and society fit into their natural surroundings and care for their natural environment in their everyday actions. A Nature Based Currency is what is used to reward that behaviour. Here on Fastfrwrd, we workshop what that would be like with our Dews Nature Benefit Currency. We wish to pioneer a new way to exchange and value things, based on their environmental value, not how easily we were able to take from nature and turn it into money.
