This cover was painted by Sean Bodley for our open-source solarpunk tabletop game. The goal is to try and create something that isn’t just representative of a specific narrow version of solarpunk, but can act as a starting point for writers and game masters to create stories that fit their tastes. We want this to be to solarpunk what D&D is to fantasy: whatever you want to make of it.
The default setting is a high-density, high tech, urban, version of solarpunk with a mix of hard science, optimism, radical politics, and an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to world building.

We’re in beta, and running games on Discord, so if you want to actually plan, follow the link on the website.

I think Sean has a great artistic vision in that regard. I shared the manual and the setting, and told him what kind of themes I wanted to communicate, and he really found a way to put it into an image. I would encourage everyone to check out his art, it’s really diverse and really cool.
