Fighting for the Future: Cyberpunk and Solarpunk Tales
Only one week left to preorder this unique short story anthology + roleplaying game combo through Kickstarter and take advantage of the bonus perks that come with each pledge tier. Edited by Phoebe Wagner (Sunvault, When We Hold Each Other Up), the anthology includes cyberpunk stories, solarpunk stories, and stories of transitions from dystopia to utopia. Authors include Cory Doctorow, Cynthia Zhang, Brent Lambert, Ai Jiang, Izzy Wasserstein, Kevin Wabaunsee, Louis Evans, Rona Fernandez, J.D. Harlock, Holly Schofield, and more!
Then, use settings, characters, and plots from the stories to fight for the future with your friends in the RPG. You can also build your own characters, create your own missions, build cyberpunk and solarpunk worlds, and more. The RPG comes in the form of a 75 page guide book with background info, character building sheets, and everything else you need to play the game.
Funds raised through the Kickstarter ensure that each of the authors in the anthology is paid the SFWA designated professional rate of 8 cents per word for their stories.
In addition to the anthology, game, and bonus perks that come with each tier, RPG figurines, glow in the dark dice, signed books, and more are available as add-ons.
