fargone2125 is a fictional self-contained dystopian universe taking place in 2125 at the edge of the great plains. As a project created by Erik Meyer, participants learn about and inject themselves into near-future events in an effort to better understand the current state of American affairs; in this case, fiction exists to create a safe place for exploration. Homeless children scavenge alongside robots and dogs for treasure in cities of dust-bowl middens slumping into wilting tenements flanked by concrete walls, barbed wire, and police checkpoints. The domes of the wealthy sink beneath tent cities… Fargone follows a history of gradual decay, failed initiatives, and increasing corporate rights at the cost of human rights. Whether experienced as passive reading, roleplaying, or laying down cards, Fargone remains a cautionary tale of largely destructive events.

The website includes a near-future timeline, information on city districts, adventure ideas, a system for roleplaying (including character creation sheets), a card game (with printable .pdf pages), and a links guiding readers through the pages like a wiki.
