@stefan speaking open sourcing ideas, we have https://storyseedlibrary.org/ with a lot of Story Seeds (writing prompts) and over a hundred Creative Commons illustrations!

"We started with participants sharing personal technology stories—EVs as climate-guilt-free mobility, pirate radio stations as creation rather than consumption, bikes as intergenerational freedom. Then we unpacked the narratives underneath: what myths, what power structures, what economic forces […]

I'm considering submitting a #solarpunk talk for this year's #chaoscommunicationcongress ( #39c3 ) in #hamburg , #germany .

tl;dr: Solarpunk as a new narrative for hackers, acknowledging and empowering their communities and collaboration, imagining the sustainable future of open hardware.

Lots […]

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.

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 […]

@viviansequeira Se você quer Solarpunk brasileiro, https://www.behance.net/q1r0z# tem muito Futurismo Amazônico!

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 […]

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!

@OWGF That's a really good video, especially with the links to the Half Earth Socialism.

I must say I'm just a little tired of the youtubers using clips from Dear Alice and even the Arcane series and ignoring all of the artists from the https://storyseedlibrary.org/ , who specifically create […]

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?

@FullyAutomatedRPG your wiki on slrpnk.net is DokuWiki, so you want something like https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:openlayersmap :)

@FullyAutomatedRPG so if I understand correctly, you would like a Wiki extension which allows users to add something to the map, not only the web designer?

If you'd like to know my thoughts about #solarpunk #gamedesign - I wrote a longer piece at https://alxd.org/notes-towards-a-solarpunk-game-design-overview.html#notes-towards-a-solarpunk-game-design-overview

It goes over #videogames , #boardgames , #cardgames as well as #ttrpg .

It discusses […]

Some context:

Games like Fully Automated (wonderful world, I recommend) have dedicated pages explaining why they contain combat, even though it clashes with its themes: https://fullyautomatedrpg.com/combat/

Other games, despite talking about community and having wider mechanics, focus a lot of […]

@sprkltts @jacobcoffin ha, I need to take a look at it! :)

Number of #solarpunk #ttrpg #games with dedicated fighting mechanic / focus on it:

Number of Solarpunk TTRPGs games focusing on firefighting / disaster response, with dedicated mechanics:

@OliviaVespera the Library has copies in Codeberg and Github, so feel free to save from there :)

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 :)
