I’m a developer for an open-world tabletop RPG called Fully Automated! The goal is to create a free, open-source game that can be to solarpunk what D&D is to fantasy and Shadowrun to cyberpunk. And the first version is mostly done. It’s got:

  • A flexible, easy-to-play system similar to a d20 game!
  • A massive open world!
  • An easy character creator along with a dozen pre-made example characters!
  • A high-stakes three-story campaign with over 14 hours of content! …And a lot more!

I’m looking for more play testers, both as players and (if you’re game) GMs! We’ve got a Discord server where we’re running games on a rolling basis. The goal is to release it for free by the end of the year. I’d like to get as much feedback as possible before then, and if possible build a community around this totally free, open-source tool for making and sharing diverse solarpunk adventures!

    I’ll be honest, I was a bit nervous when you compared your game to D&D and Shadowrun. Both have famously bad mechanics that shoot themselves in the foot compared to what the absolutely marvelous worldbuilding can do and are only the staples they are because they’ve been there decades ago…

    But from a quick perusal this looks rather promising. I would love to commit some of my time to this project and its community but will have to see whether I can manage to free up some first. So, no promises at this point I’m afraid.

    I really love the way you approach this, not as a commercial product but as hopeful community building. Can’t give you enough kudos for this! :)

      Thanks!

      I just recently learned that a separate group of writers made a solarpunk game for FATE if you prefer that system. Overall, I’m writing towards the play system that appeals to me, but I think a lot of the content could be used in one’s system of preference: http://solarpunk2050.de/

      Here’s the Discord link, which I forgot to share: https://discord.gg/tjscrvjd

      We organize games here and have a channel for development discussion, so if you’re interested you should join the server and drop in when time allows.
