The Stellar Lunarpunk TTRPG Playtest! 18+ (FREE: £1 Charge Refunded as Age Verification)
Hey! It’s time for some fun! You love the planet, you’re passionate about climate action, and now you want a little fun!
Join us to playtest The Stellar Lunarpunk TTRPG (Table-Top Roleplaying Game) where you find yourself in 2061, in a world where the climate crisis was solved but many social and political issues remain. Choose a Lunarpunk Tarot Card and improvise with your fellow players towards a utopic ending for your chosen setting. Please be 18+! (You may not have time to read all the material, that is expected! We will introduce you!)
We charge £1 to verify your adulthood and return it at the start of our events unless you want to help compensate the event marketing emissions NOT MANDATORY (event itself Carbon Neutral when combined with Ecosia). If you have a Fastfrwrd.info account, we will give you a "Verified Adult" checkmark!
Settings include:
Driftwood Bay: Coastal town on a Caribbean island that makes use of the sea for most of their activities. Their Stellar has an inclination to the study of post-colonial Voodoo, Vudun, Obeah and Bush Medicine as well as Caribbean History and Sociology, music and dance.
Steggar: A Nordic region powered by geothermal energy. They have an inclination to Animism and Nature Worship in their Stellars as well as Norse mythology for ancestral channeling, choral singing and yodeling.
The Arid Lands: The North American Midwest was too late to adopt climate policies so they ran through water and the land went through aridification and could not sustain life. In recent years there are currently nomadic cultures that wander the waste and try their best to turn the land into something sustainable again through terraforming. UN scientists often hire nomads to help them cross the waste and study the areas that need attention. The Stellars of the Arid Lands are highly experimental and based majorly on chemical drug use for spiritual enlightenment.

Details: The Stellar explores themes of modern day philosophy, futurology, psychology, ecology, magic and romance. Some language, an explicit story book only suitable for 18+ audiences and mentions of alternative history that can be indelicate if improperly handled.
Campaign: Using The Stellar TTRPG game app on the Fastfrwrd site, you will improvise your way turn by turn with other participants toward a utopic ending. Spectator seats available too! No sign up or download for the site required.
Technicalities: You need a phone for picking cards so it is ideal to do the video conference on your laptop and pick cards on mobile.
Ecology and Impact: We will need to compensate the emissions caused by advertising the event on Luma which is not Carbon Neutral according to our knowledge. The event will be carried out on a super ecological video conferencing service, Crewdle Connect.
What to prepare: Read through The Stellar game book or come ready for a surprise as we will give a brief overview of the game world and choose a setting together.
You can prepare your character too! Who would you be in the world of The Stellar?
This playtest will help improve the game mechanics of The Stellar TTRPG as we explore an emancipated way of roleplaying... what are the assumptions of the genre? Do Attacks, Hits and Misses have to factor into our gameplay? Is there another way? Let’s find out!
Compensation:
We looked at how much of a footprint our event page would have if 10,000 people visited in a month.
It would emit 570.6 Kg Per Year
This would require 71 trees to compensate for a year of events with 10,000 page visitors per month.
Our tree-planting partner charges $0.35 USD per tree. Divide 71 by 12, you get 5.9 trees for a month of marketing/views. If we want to overcompensate in case some of that money does not go to planting trees, knowing the cost per tree, it would cost $6.19 to triple compensate each event if you help offset through our Trees.org fundraiser page (more secure and you get an invoice), or if 2 people allow us to keep their verification fee instead of returning it then we can buy 6 trees wholesale through our account (reported monthly on our blog under "Fastfrwrd Updates.") NOT MANDATORY
How much of that you wish to help us compensate so we can keep making great climate games is up to you!

FAQ:
(No one asked as yet but:)
What is Lunarpunk: Lunarpunk is the sister to Solarpunk, an aesthetic and praxis where nature and technology work for the betterment of humanity. Lunarpunk is what happens to a solarpunk community at night. Do the freaks come out at night, or is it all just a wonderful world to explore?
Will you really not host the event if the marketing on Luma is not compensated:
Yes. The events need to be totally green to be worth it. So let’s make it worth it! You can help but you don't have to!!
I don't trust the refund thing:
If we don't refund you, you can report us to Luma who we have alerted to the age verification process we are using. You can also raise a dispute with your payment processor. Email: [email protected]
