I am incredibly impressed with the #gameDesign of the #TTRPG #realis , currently being crowdfunded - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crum/realis

It's a diceless game where characters are built with Sentences which become more powerful as they get more specific. The character growth is substractive, not additive. It tell stories of maturing and growing old, too specialized.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXglrfAk4fU is a great essay on that.

It feels like #poetry , not just a #game

If you haven't seen #whyWeFight #TTRPG , Cozy RPG Reviews made a video about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5N-dnwWC1k

I still have my qualms about violence in #solarpunk games, but it's worth noting.

Speaking #solarpunk #ttrpg #gamedesign I'm pretty interested in https://www.rascal.news/forge-bonds-through-pit-stops-and-awkward-road-trip-conversations-in-runeway/ , a journey / coming-of-age / emotional growth game which doesn't suggest that we resolve every problem with violence.

It reminds me of Wanderhome.

It's much more fantastical than the Solarpunk stories I like, but I absolutely love the illustrations there.

It's currently #crowdfunding - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manaprojectstudio/runeway

Forge bonds through pit stops and awkward road trip conversations in Runeway

A comforting, nostalgic jaunt underpinned by an anti-fascist vision.

I'm co-building Indigenous-centric #solarpunk education to help people do this in a deeply decolonial way! Suggest more people for me to connect with here, please!

@multilingualfutures hey! If you like Solarpunk, you might enjoy https://podcast.tomasino.org/@SolarpunkPrompts/episodes/the-archivists about your specialization :)
The Archivists

The Archivists Today’s episode explores the loss of cultural history, local and indigenous knowledge. How can a Solarpunk perspective help us see past Western colonialism and find value in new, old places.
