A cool idea for a nautical campaign - a faction of emergency response pirates (sociale.network)
I found this story on Mastodon, about a maritime shipping disaster and the first-on-the-scene, questionably-legitimate emergency responders who rescue crew, contain the ecological impacts, and restore infrastructure damaged by a megafreighter crash before the official response can get into gear. And who take a bunch of loot when...

I love everything about this, especially the gear and tactics. So badass.
Testing out Pixelfed. Could this be a good tool for sharing art assets? (pixey.org)
I’ve been talking with folks about what might be the best tools for sharing photos for use when running games. In addition to maps, I enjoy showing players art and photos as backgrounds. We usually play on Roll20 virtual tabletop, and it acts like a little dollhouse or stage background....
I could see these walking houses (or their descendants) fitting FA's setting (www.n55.dk)
Between the large swaths of rewilded land in Fully Automated’s setting (which is protected from any permanent development/dwelings) and the general availability of high tech stuff, I could totally see slow, wandering, nomadic houses being a thing (for good or ill, depending on who in the setting you ask)....
FA!'s first adventure module, "A Demonstration of Power" is out now! (slrpnk.net)
The vote to elect a new chair of the Pacifica Grid closes in four days, and an auditor thinks there’s something suspicious going on. Records of an incident for the lead candidate’s past have been destroyed in a cyberattack, and the manager responsible for the files is being mysteriously tight lipped. Keeping power in the...
Need inspiration on why someone powerful might commit crimes even in a solarpunk society? The Swindled podcast goes in-depth on a wide range of white-collar crimes (swindledpodcast.com)
I’ve been thinking about campaigns and discussing possible plotlines with my SO, and while we were talking about options for investigations and the reasons people might commit crimes even in a solarpunk society where everyone has enough, and they reminded me of this podcast which focuses on white collar crimes, their impacts...

Guess what?...
Very positive feedback from a GM tester
A GM play tester posted this on the Discord, and I’m very excited by this feedback. I think it’s a great testimonial to share, and also a confirmation of our overall approach. Making the game system-flexible was a priority, so I’m really glad to hear that it works in actual use that way....

A bit more art: the band of mysterious attackers (slrpnk.net)
In one encounter, the players are attacked by a squad of mysterious masked shock troops of some kind. Here is the cyberpunky look I gave them, along with distinct face plates meant to give the characters a way to easily distinguish and describe them....

Cory Doctorow boosted our comment on Mastodon! (slrpnk.net)
I commented on a post about the book “The Lost Cause”, then followed up to mention that our game’s setting is built on a similar vision to author Cory Doctorow’s in that book. I communicated that we hope our game appeals to a similar audience. And Cory Doctorow saw this, and shared it with his followers!...
Maps! And backgrounds! (fullyautomatedrpg.com)
I packaged up six combat maps, a couple of maps for navigating regions, and some backgrounds to like dollhouses during play....
More character art! (slrpnk.net)
I’m back to drawing: I need to replace placeholder art with the final art. This is Duncan Harris, head of the data group at the Aquarius H2 Hydrogen plant.
Rethinking Maps
I’ve been thinking about Five’s excellent comments about states and the borders of a post-state world on one of our previous discussions. And since this Lemmy community is intended partially as a repository of resources for players and GMs, I thought I’d gather up some of the cool maps I’ve been looking at, and organize...
Imagine what learning to ride a bike would be like in Fully Automated
I was just standing around in my building’s garage while my kid practiced riding a bike (with training wheels) and my mind wandered to what it would be like to learn if you could do it fully in virtual reality....

Southern succession in Fully Automated: problematic?
One of the other devs asked about the description of the “Independent States of America” in the following passage. They asked if allowing for a southern succession was offensive or inappropriate. How does this read to others?...
