Jump to: THE LIST of solarpunk TTRPGs!
How I defined “solarpunk” when creating this list
There’s quite a few ways that I have seen people define solarpunk, so I want to clarify how I’m particularly defining the genre for this list.
The games recommended below all have some kind of focus on technology (and sometimes also magic) working in harmony with nature. Adventures and plot goals center around exploration in this harmonic world or sustainable problem solving where players pursue some kind of balance with the environment. The TTRPGs in this list also lean towards a focus on community and building harmony between people as well.
Suggestions for adding to or modifying this solarpunk themed TTRPG list
If you have a recommendation for an all-ages friendly solarpunk TTRPG to add, please let me know through the TTRPGkids request form.
If you believe that one of the games on the list should NOT be included (because you have actually played it and saw concerns with the material that would make it inappropriate for all ages), please send me an email through the TTRPGkids contact page concisely explaining your experience with the game (i.e. you played it, created it, etc) and your concern.
A note on “all-ages” solarpunk TTRPGs
I sought out TTRPGs that appeared to have an all-ages vibe based on recommendations from the community, reviews on other sites, discussions with the creator, and/or details provided on the game’s page, However, I have not played ALL of these games, and I may judge some content differently from you. This list is aimed at helping you quickly find solarpunk games that might be suitable for you and your players, but please also conduct your own research and evaluation of the material so you are purchasing games that YOU judge as appropriate for your particular group.
