#voidheartSymphony is not directly a #solarpunk game, but this interview at https://www.rascal.news/fighting-fascists-is-a-community-project-in-voidheart-symphony/ has a few really, really good highlights for #community #gameDesign in #games :

"First, the framing around your contacts has been shifted to be more mutual: you only get power from them so long as they believe that you can create a better world, and maintaining that faith is an active process. Second, I’m working on rules for your crew to actively protect and support their local community (...)"

Fighting fascists is a community project in Voidheart Symphony

Revolution, balance, and mutual aid with Rowan, Rook and Decard’s Minerva McJanda.

@InfernalTeddy Super gerne würde ich demnächst mal das #AvatarLegends Rollenspiel leiten. Hab schon bisschen reingeschaut und schaue gerade noch Korra. Seit zwei Jahren steht schon #VoidheartSymphony weit oben auf der Liste, weil es so großartige Persona-Vibes versprüht. Damit verwandt ist #LegacyLifeAmongRuins, auch das steht hoch im Kurs.

@StephenChast I happen to have a list to this effect on one of my discords:

For general use I’m going to list games that I am atm comfortable with the idea of running:
Experienced:
1. Monsterhearts 2
2. City of Mists

Familiar as Player, Willing to Run:
3. Urban Shadows 2
4. Monster of the Week

No Experience either side, wanna try:
5. Voidheart Symphony

(It’s slightly out of date but works)

Okay, I’ve read the #Hollows playtest and it is a banger. This is peak indie rpg stuff.

- Tactical #ttrpg with novel mechanics? Check.
- Howitt and Taylor (of #Spire, #Heart, and #UnboundRPG fame) displaying their usual penchant for maximum theme and style? Check.
- Minerva McJanda (#VoidheartSymphony, #Lancer) just showing off masterful layout? Check. Seriously, hat tip to McJanda and @maz - clean rules text married to Mork Borg tier art book shenanigans.

Gobsmackingly impressive.
