Astronaut Heart: Collaborative Worldbuilding for a Free Future

Astronaut Heart: Home New Earth First Map of Home

A solarpunk world imagined by queer artists, storytellers, and radicals.

We live in a divided time, many cannot imagine how to escape. Astronaut Heart is about inspiring us to be vulnerable, create community, connect and build a hopeful future in the face of rising techno oligarchs and climate destruction.

Yet as we know, even on the brink of the end, the left will eat itself. This push and pull makes for interesting and dynamic play experiences and the opportunity to bring in all sorts of perspectives unified by the desire to build something beautiful. Astronaut Heart: Act 1 began as something personal, a poetry book about the Astronaut conquering their own despair. Astronaut Heart: Home New Earth has expanded to become something much more. 

I have invited friends, artists, activists and storytellers, and together we are crafting 1000 years of strife, complications, reconciliation, and healing. The world building sessions are played using a variety of game systems where historical events and new context may be added to the timeline by players and no contribution can be destroyed.
