If you know (or are!) someone who can work in the sort of painterly, exaggerated but realistic-ish style frequently used by pulp adventure books and magazines in the 50s and 60s we'd love to talk!

We've still got most of the funds from the first commission attempt available, and can flex a bit to get this made.

For a bit of an idea what we're looking for, I've attached a sketch from when we were talking things out with our first artist.

For the last couple years I've been working on a #solarpunk TTRPG treasure hunting adventure where the players search a mostly-abandoned town (undergoing deconstruction and rewilding) for industrial waste illegally dumped there decades before.

I had hired an artist to paint the cover art in the style of pulp adventure novels, as the campaign inverts and riffs on those sort of lost city tropes. Unfortunately they had to drop out for life-happened reasons. So we're looking for an artist!

I saw there is this presale feature on smashwords, and I turned it on. Not sure it's a good idea, but well, if you want to read The Blossoming of the Big Tree before release date (don't know if this is a good idea since I have one last round of rewriting to do, but anyway) you can go over to and grab a copy.

Finished tearing down all the packs I know have Samsung 25R cells inside. Also finished capacity testing the 211 cells that were salvaged.

Next step is checking the internal resistance and voltage after they have sat for some time. Then input capacity and IR data into the pack builder tool on cell saviors website and hopefully build some working ebike battery packs.

So you're still in the process of grieving the loss of the future that you wanted or expected. That's perfectly understandable. We all grieve at our own pace & the process comes in waves. Trust me, I've been there.

Can I interest you in vision for an alternative?

We want you to be a #SkyPirate

Vielen Dank, @out_of_easthofen 🙏

Die Aufklärung gegen den Fossilismus und für den Solarpunk ist anstrengend, aber jeden Tag begreifen es mehr Menschen.

Ich gebe nicht auf, versprochen! 😌🙌

„Laut einer neuen repräsentativen Umfrage lehnen 69,1 Prozent der Deutschen die Energiepolitik von Wirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche (CDU) ab. Die Skepsis gegenüber den energiepolitischen Entscheidungen der schwarz-roten Koalition gilt dabei über Parteigrenzen hinweg: So befürworten auch nur 37,5 Prozent der CDU/CSU-Wählerinnen die Entscheidungen von Reiche, 29,1 Prozent sind unentschieden. Bei allen anderen Parteianhängern überwiegt die negative Bewertung.“

Schlappe für Reiche: Klare Mehrheit der Deutschen enttäuscht von ihren Plänen

Die Energiepolitik der schwarz-roten Koalition stößt mehrheitlich auf Ablehnung, stellt eine neue Umfrage fest. Vor allem das neue Heizungsgesetz führt zu Verwirrung.
