I'm thinking about prototyping a quick-and-easy #solarpunk #ttrpg based on #ForTheQueen game. Little setting, no characters, just a lot of story prompts on cards the players draw one after another to tell a tale together. Some topics I'm exploring so far: - A rescue effort after an […]

Has anyone read or played https://solauniverse.com/ , a #solarpunk #ttrpg ? I just heard about it. #solarpg #climatechange #climate #game #games #gamedesign

On the usage of #aiart #synthography in #solarpunk : I was wondering why people choose to use #ai #illustration instead of the human-made, intentional #storyseedlibrary art and a friend suggested: It's about the perceived agency. People using AI feel that they "express" their ideas better […]

Have you heard about https://grist.org/fix/grist-50/2025/ ? "The 2025 Grist 50 list highlights the work of 50 such people who are making a real difference and moving the needle. The impact they’re having in their communities and sectors shows that progress is still possible." It's a shame […]

@alxd TIL about #Firemon112. It's an open source software for fire fighters, maintained and hosted by a small NGO. It's an alarm messenger that also provides information about the location of the emergency. Like satellite images, wind direction, nearest […] [Original post on rollenspiel.social]

Have you checked out the #solarpunk Story Seed Library recently? It's a great repository of story ideas and art. There's so much good stuff here! https://storyseedlibrary.org/ #hopepunk #art #fiction

Open question: how would disaster response, relief and rescue look in a #solarpunk world? How would it be different? Would there be any visual differences, when a helicopter evacuates people from a flooded area, or when volunteers distribute relief packages? #climate #climatechange #writing […]

Number of #solarpunk #TTRPG #games with dedicated fighting mechanic / focus on it: 3+ Number of Solarpunk TTRPGs games focusing on firefighting / disaster response, with dedicated mechanics: 0? "There is just no conflict in Solarpunk, nothing dramatic" […] [Original post on writing.exchange]

One of the side-effects of the AI bubble is that we stopped talking about alternative solutions to computing problems. Everything needs to be solved with "AI" - meaning an LLM - and nobody stops and asks if there is an alternative. This drives me mad because LLMs are not only unreliable, but […]

With the original site (re-des.org) down, we copied the Solarpunk Manifesto to the Story Seed Library under https://storyseedlibrary.org/essays/solarpunk-manifesto/ . I'll come up with a way to host all of the languages the Library doesn't currently support, but not tonight :)

Does anyone here know Aless from https://www.re-des.org/ ? Their page just went down - and it hosted the #solarpunk #manifesto in all of the languages :/ https://web.archive.org/web/20250705081757/http://www.re-des.org/es/un-manifiesto-solarpunk-todos-los-idiomas/ I think for now I'll re-host […]

When you meet a cyborg in a #solarpunk world you don't say "whoah, shiny chrome". You ask "Do you have a good support network for the medical care you need? Does your doctor run maintenance on your prosthesis often enough? Do you need it adjusted?" #writing #worldbuilding #technology

We have 3 new #storyseedlibrary works from the awesome Aerroscape, available at https://storyseedlibrary.org/authors/aerroscape/ ! :) More from the artist: https://www.aerroscape.de/ They're a part of the https://realutopien.info/ project reimagining different places around the world in a […]

@hello 🙏 dziękuję. Plan jest taki, żeby wydać na licencji CC-BY-SA, więc będzie można za darmo ebooka pobrać ze strony "#solarpunk bez zmian społecznych to greenwashing"

I just got an apology written like: > You are right. I [insert mistake]. [Insert instructions given]. [Insert what I did differently]. [I will improve this behavior in the future]. and I cannot get myself to believe it was penned by a human.

A community member shared an amazing #ttrpg game hook I can't wait to play: Players staff a Waffle House during a hurricane recovery in our #solarpunk future! Feed, comfort, and protect a diverse clientele that isn't always well-behaved. It's got heart, comedy, #clifi and plenty of excitement! […]

Thanks to the awesome arg4ntum and @the_lemonaut the #storyseedlibrary is now available in #ukrainian ! A repository of over 100 illustrations and story seeds to help you imagine a better future in the face of the Climate Change! https://storyseedlibrary.org/ua/ #ukraine #hope #solarpunk […]

I have to tell you that I'm very happy seeing such a beautiful mix of recent art at the #storySeedLibrary - works of Taylor Seamount, Exhell, our Mastodon @NIGHTEN and Yuuna Maiko. You can see so many different facets of the #solarpunk movement and […] [Original post on writing.exchange]

#storyseedlibrary status update: We have #english, #polish, #italian and #french . Some awesome people are working on #german, #ukrainian , #arabic and #hindi. Today I was approached about #esperanto :D ...is this a good moment to start exploring an open source translation software? I don't […]

What #software #platform tools would you recommend for crowdsourcing a #moodboard ? I would like a group of people to save illustrations from the Web like on #pinterest , with some ability to accept or refuse them.

@creativecommons do you know if your French chapter still exists? The website has been down since 2020 - and the domain is now squatted by someone. #creativecommons #france #francais #openculture

#storyseedlibrary is proud to introduce a new artist: Yuuna Maiko! https://storyseedlibrary.org/art/yuuna-maiko-harvest-of-knowledge/ Originally created for the 2024 Week and Art contest, it won an honorable mention from its organizers! Huge thanks to the artist […]

Does anyone know what happened to #creativecommons #france ? It looks like someone took over their domain - and I can't see many French resources on CC outside of some FAQs on the main page. @davidrevoy

Hey Germans, the French have already translated the https://storyseedlibrary.org/ , wouldn't you like to one-up them and have a #deutsch version? #germany #solarpunk

#ttrpg #gamedesign idea: A community-based #osr / #NSR game where the main means of progress is unlocking the new character options for newly-rolled characters. New tables? A table where you start d4 -> d8 -> d12 -> d20? Your old characters don't need to die, they stay "at the base" […]

Do you know any #arabic , #spanish or #mandarin #translator who might be interested in translating https://storyseedlibrary.org/ , a #solarpunk #art and #writing site with lots of #copyleft materials? Sadly, there's no funding for the project, only bringing more human-made, intentional […]

#solarpunk #philosophy thought - Entrepreneurship as a concept can be incredibly damaging to communities, because (given how it's used in capitalism) it re-frames a lot of social activism as more individual and commercial, not doing something for the sake of it needing to be done. Yes, there […]

I’m speaking at #OSSummit Europe, 25-27 August in Amsterdam! I had two sessions accepted, "Building a Solarpunk Web: Open Source for a Sustainable Digital Future" and "Adding the W3C’s New ARRM To Improve Your Project’s Accessibility". If you are interested […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Yoooooo. Looking for #artist s who might be interested in sharing their #art with the #storyseedlibrary I found https://galerie.weekandart.com/ (click 2024). This is gooooood. #solarpunk

I missed last month's #solarpunk essay from @AndrewDanaHudson , but I think the 10-year-check-in is a worthy read: https://www.solarshades.club/p/the-political-dimensions-of-solarpunk10 The world has changed. Solarpunk influenced it, even without a single Masterpiece. We are continuing to […]

@dancingindystopia w #radiuKapitał właśnie dzieli się nagraniem naszego niedzielnego panelu o #solarpunk z #bazyliszek #polcon : "Dlaczego solarpunk jest trudny? Jak przełknąć gorzką pigułkę katastrofy klimatycznej i wciąż wyobrażać sobie lepsze jutro?" […]

I am proud to present you with an interview with an incredible @adapalmer straight from this year #bazyliszek convention, now available as a #solarpunkprompts special! […]

Okazuje się, że rzutem na taśmę poprowadzę solarpunkową prelekcję na Bazyliszku (a miałem mówić tylko o fizyce w 2D). Przy okazji, będzie trochę innych klimatycznych i solarpunkowych punktów programu (z udziałem m.in @adapalmer) więc jeśli akurat będziecie w […] [Original post on pol.social]

Would anyone be interested in giving an interview to a Science and Technology Studies researcher analyzing #solarpunk in digital spaces? If so, PM me your emails, I'll introduce you :)

I want #solarpunk to pre-process the #climate #trauma . --- Huge thanks to Capri Huffman for helping me to put it into concise words.
