Finished writing the rules for the first of the three magic systems for Solar Winds. Well, I think the rules are mostly finished at least, though I expect to have to revise things throughout testing.
Over 2700 words of runic magic,, 4 pages. I love being productive (this is the most productive I've been in a while (yes I still need to make contact with artists that reached out)). I still need a few tables, and maybe a graph if I'm feeling extra nerdy (didn't make the graph myself tho, I sadly didn't get the math nerd flavour of neurodivergency /j)
This first playtest became more manageable in my head after deciding to start with only the one magic system, then expand more later

Hi! Sorry to ask, but i was wondering are you hiring /planning to hire any sami people for the dev team as sensitivity readers etc? I do hope you the best of luck with your project!
Thanks for asking! I myself am of sámi ancestry, though I was not raised as a sami. I only found out recently that my grandma is sámi, and am now studying the north sámi language. I will always be looking to have sensitivity readers for any writing I do that takes inspiration from minority cultures and folklores, especially indigenous ones.

Listatut hinnat olivat arvioita, mutta olen myöhemmin hoksannut etteivät hinnat ole tarpeeksi. Lopulliset hinnat sovitaan taiteilijan kanssa, mutta arvioin kyllä maksavani enemmän kuin alunperin arvioin.
Etsin kuvataiteilijoita mun avaruus-fantasy pöytäroolipeliin (TTRPG)
Hei! Etsin kuvataiteilijoita pohjoisen alueelta kuvittamaan kehittämääni pöytäroolipeliä (Tabletop Role-Playing Game), Solar Winds. Kuvat tulevat kaupalliseen käyttöön, ja kaikille taiteilijoille maksetaan palkkio ja nimi mainitaan. Hinnat, tyylitoiveet, ja muut yksityiskohdat luetteloidaan alempana. Jos et ole itse kiinnostunut, mutta tunnet jonkun, jota voisi kiinnostaa, jaa tämä eteenpäin!
Solar Winds on pohjoisen alueen (erityisesti suomen ja saamen) mytologian ja kansanperinteen, sekä muiden tarinoiden, kuten Star Warsin, inspiroima avaruus-fantasia pöytäroolipeli. Pelin fokus on tarinan kerronta roolipelaamisen kautta, mutta peli tarjoaa myös elegantin taistelusysteemin. Pelin tyylinä on eeppinen fantasia ja pelaajat voivat seikkailla sekä tähdistöissä että monissa erilaisissa luonnonympäristöissa.
Kuvittajille maksetaan 50% etukäteen, ja 50% valmiin kuvan toimituksen jälkeen. Budjettini on noin 1 300€ (15 000 NOK). Projektin rahoitus on TVIBITstigenin tukema (https://tvibit.net/stigen). Budjetti on jaettu seuraaviin osiin:
2x Maisemaa / täyttä näkymää, noin 260€ kappale
6x Hahmoa, noin 85€ kappale
2x Kulkuneuvoa / tähtialusta, noin 85€ kappale
Pienempiä luonnoksia tai konsepteja aseista, haarniskoista, jne., noin 40€ kappale (Hinnat ovat arvioita siitä, kuinka paljon minulla on mahdollisuus maksaa joka kuvasta, eli lopulliset hinnat sovitaan joka taiteilijan kanssa.)
Jos olet kiinnostunut, ota yhteyttä lähettämällä portfoliosi, tai linkki portfolioosi, sähköpostilla osoitteeseen: [email protected]. (Tarkista, ettei linkkisi vaadi kirjautumista, jotta pääsen näkemään portfoliosi.) Mainitse myös, minkälaisia kuvia mielelläsi tekisit tai minkä tekemiseen sopisit parhaiten, koska etsin tähän projektiin monenlaisia kuvia.
Etsin enimmäkseen semi-realistisia, semi-tyyliteltyä taidetyyliä, tai maalauksia (digitaalisina taikka muuten). Kuvat tulee toimittaa digitaalisesti, mutta hyväksyn sekä digitaalisia että perinteisiä taideteoksia. On eduksi, jos portfoliossasi on joitakin seuraavista teemoista:
Kuvia luomisprosessista tai timelapsejä (AI:n poissulkemiseksi)
Science fiction
Monenlaisia maisemia
Eri ötökkämäisiä hahmoja (tämä on suuri plussa)
Mekaanisia hahmoja (droideja, robotteja, jne.)
Kulkuneuvoja (tähtialuksia, leijupyöriä, kävelijöitä, autoja, jne.) (erityisesti jos itse suunniteltuja)
Kaupungin katuja, megakaupunkeja
Toimintaa, taistelua, sotaa
Post-apocalypse
Haarniskoja ja aseita (erityisesti jos itse suunniteltuja)
Fantasian ja teknologian yhdistelmiä
Cryptids, taruolentoja
Revontulia
Etsin erityisesti pohjoisten alueiden kuvataiteilijoita, etenkin suomalaisia ja saamelaisia, koska projekti käyttää alueen mytologiaa ja kansanperinnettä inspiraationa, mutta kuka tahansa voi hakea. Jos sinulla on jonkin muun alkuperäiskansan tausta, sekin on eduksi!
En hyväksy mitään AI-luotua tai AI-avustettua "taidetta".
Kysythän, jos on kysymyksiä tai kommentteja <3

Ser etter kunstnere til space-fantasy TTRPG
Hei! Jeg ser etter kunstnere, spesielt lokale kunstnere i eller fra Norden, til å lage bilder og illustrasjoner til rollespillet (Tabletop Role-Playing Game) mitt, Solar Winds. All kunsten er til kommersielt bruk, og kunstnerne vil bli kreditert og betalt. Priser, stilønsker og nærmere detaljer listes under. Hvis du ikke er interessert, men kjenner noen som er det, håper jeg at du vil dele dette med dem!
Solar Winds er et "space fantasy" rollespill (TTRPG) henter inspirasjon fra flere Nordiske myter og folklore, med ekstra fokus på finsk og samisk folklore. Det henter også inspirasjon fra andre fortellinger, som Star Wars. Spillet fokuserer på rollespill-drevne fortellinger, samtidig som den gir en elegant struktur til kamp. Fortellingene skal kunne foregå blant stjernene, men også i varierte klimaer og landskap. Tenk epic fantasy, men også i verdensrommet med stjerneskip.
Kunstnere som blir valgt til prosjektet vil bli betalt 50% på forskudd, og 50% ved ferdigstilling. Jeg har et totalt budsjett på omtrent 15 000kr. Prosjektet er økonomisk støttet av TVIBITstigen (https://tvibit.net/stigen). Budsjettet mitt er delt opp slik:
2x Landskap / fulle scener, 3000kr hver
6x Karakterer, 1000kr hver
2x Kjøretøy / stjerneskip, 1000kr hver
Mindre sketches eller konsepter for våpen, rustning, osv., ca. 500kr hver (Dette er mine estimat for hvor mye jeg kommer til å bruke på de forskjellige typene kunstverk, men endelig pris vil bli diskutert med hver kunstner.)
Om du er interessert, bør du ta kontakt! Du gjør det ved å sende porteføljen din, eller en link til porteføljen din, til epostadressen min: [email protected]. (Pass på at linken din ikke krever pålogging får å se arbeidet ditt.) Nevn også hva slags kunstverker du ville vært interessert i / passe best til å lage, ettersom dette er et stort prosjekt som trenger mye forskjellig.
Jeg er mest interessert i semi-realistiske stiler, semi-stilistiske stiler, og maleri (både digitale og tradisjonelle). Kunsten må kunne leveres digitalt, men jeg kan gjerne bruke både digitale og tradisjonelle stiler i dette prosjektet. Det er en fordel om porteføljen din inneholder noen av disse temaene:
Bilder av prosessen eller timelapses (for å ekskludere KI-bruk)
Science fiction
Diverse insektoide karakterer (insektfolk) (denne er et massivt plus)
Mekaniske karakter (droids, roboter, exos, osv.)
Kjøretøy (stjerneskip, hoverbikes, walkers, biler, osv.) (spesielt om selv-designet)
Bygater, megabyer
Action, kamp, krig
Post-apocalypse
Rustning og våpen (spesielt om selv-designet)
Kombinasjoner av fantasy og teknologi
Cryptids, eventyrskarakterer
Nordlys
Hvem som helst kan melde seg, men jeg er spesielt på utkikk etter kunstnere i eller fra Norden, særlig samiske eller finske kunstnere, siden dette prosjektet henter mye inspirasjon fra samisk og finsk folklore. Om du har andre urfolksbakgrunner, vil det også gi deg en fordel her!
Jeg aksepterer INGEN KI-generert eller assistert "kunst".
Spør i vei om du har noen spørsmål eller kommentarer <3

Looking for illustrators for my space fantasy TTRPG
Hello! I am looking for artists, especially local artists in or from the Nordics, to work with in creating images and illustrations for my Tabletop Role-Playing Game, Solar Winds. Any artwork provided will be for commercial use, fully credited and payed appropriately. Rates, stylisation wishes, and further details are listed below. If you are not interested, but know someone who might be, please share this with them!
Solar Winds is a space fantasy TTRPG that draws inspiration from various Nordic myths and folklore, with an especial focus on Finnish and Sámi folklore, as well as other stories such as Star Wars. It focuses on roleplay-driven storytelling while providing an elegant structure to combat, and allowing players to traverse both stars and a multitude of climates and environments. Think heroic or epic fantasy, with the addition of being set in space and containing starships.
Artists chosen for the project will be paid 50% up front, 50% after completion. I have a total budget of about 15 000kr (NOK) (~1 300€). The project is funded by TVIBITstigen (https://tvibit.net/stigen). The budget is split between the artpieces like this:
2x Landscapes / full scenes, 3000kr each
6x Characters, 1000kr each
2x Vehicle designs, 1000kr each
Smaller sketches or concepts for weapons, armour, etc., about 500kr each (These are my estimations for how much I'm going to pay for the different kinds of artwork, though final price will be agreed upon with each artist.)
If you are interested, you should take contact! To do so, you send your portfolio, or a link to your portfolio, to my e-mail:[email protected]. (You should make sure your link does not require users to have an account to see your work.) Please also mention what kinds of artpieces you would be interested in / best suited to create, as this is big project with a variety of scenes.
I'm most interested in semi-realistic artstyles, semi-stylised artstyles, and paintings (digital or otherwise). While the artworks would need to be delivered digitally, I accept both digital and traditional artstyles for this project. You will also have an advantage if your portfolio includes some of the following subjects:
Process images or timelapses (to root out AI)
Science fiction
Diverse landscapes
Various insectoid humanoids (bug people) (this one is a massive plus)
Mechanical humanoids (droids, exos, robots, etc.)
Vehicles (starships, hoverbikes, walkers, cars, etc.) (especially if self-designed)
City streets, megacities
Action, combat, war
Post-apocalypse
Armour and weapon designs (especially if self-designed)
A mixture of fantasy and technology
Cryptids, folkloric entities
Northern lights
In addition, while anyone can apply here, I am especially looking for artists in or from the Nordic region, especially Sámi or Finnish artists, as this project takes a lot of inspiration from Sámi and Finnish folklore in particular. If you have another indigenous background, that is also an advantage!
I will accept NO AI-generated or assisted "art".
If you have any questions or comments, please ask away <3

SolW dev log #3
February 2024, week 6
Not much progress this week either. I find myself being stuck at the fact that I have to write into my note taking program, rather than into a book, and thus have worked some more to setting up the formatting in the program I'll use to make the book itself. Hopefully I can get that to a place where I feel it's fine soon, so I can insert all my current content and continue writing.

SolW dev log #2
February 2024, week 5
I forgot to write the log for the previous week and almost for last week… my weeks have been very busy. Some of that stuff is done now, so I'll hopefully have time to write some more this week.
As the first playtest for v0.1 is slowly arriving, I have realised how important it will be to have a solid character creation guide and a system for actually teaching all the rules to new players already in v0.2
Powers
Transferred all manoeuvres and spells into Powers
Started making some new ones, including Smokescreen and army of spirits
Gonna rework the fireball spell
Items
Continued writing weapons into their new format
General
Had more ideas, though haven't gotten to write too many of them yet

SolW dev log #1
January 2024, week 3
This is the first proper dev log! the highlight here is probably that I started the weekly dev logs... But! I did also start working on the Specialist and Artificer classes! It isn't much yet, but a start is a start.
Next week, my main priority will probably be to finish converting spells and manoeuvres into powers (please let me know if you have suggestions for a better name than them, I'm starting to think I might have to stick with just powers...)
Rules
Started converting spells and manoeuvres into "powers" (and struggled with finding a better name than powers)
This means spells and manoeuvres won't be separate, but will be based on the same system to allow martial-spellcaster fluidity
Classes
Specialist Started work on the specialist class Including some one of its subclasses, the assassin Will have a skill Specialty, allowing it to not only be a master in a skill, but also gain additional benefits based on that skill
Artificer Started work on the artificer class It will be martial or magical, based on a choice you make at level 1
Rogue Added more features that would fit for the gunslinger subclass
Book
Worked on making a layout, should be able to add text and content to it soon
Community
Started weekly log posts to Tumblr!

SolW dev log #0
This is a log summarising most of the stuff I already had before starting the weekly dev logs!
Rules
The v0.1 playtest "book" which is a very rough first draft
A solid groundwork to build off of
Spells and manoeuvres, something for both the martials and magics
Classes, level 1 of the following:
Rogue Gunslinger Ronin
Scholar Medicine Astrology
Shaman A somewhat temporary sprit caller subclass
Solider Officer Combat medic
An attempt at the Sorcerer class, didn't make it into the v0.1 playtest.
Wayfarer Hunter Thaumaturge
Ancestries, a few heritages and ancestry feats for each
Fe
Mechanoid (name pending)
Human
Insectoid (name pending)
Feats
An ok selection of feats, though many more are to come
Spells and manoeuvres
Some of both, but none of higher power levels
Creatures
A bear, a solider, a scholar, a troll, and a fiend
Not a priority, I just needed a few for the v0.1 playtest
Vehicles
Only ideas for now
Weapons and armour and upgrades
A solid, more or less complete, selection of weapons
A somewhat lacking selection of armour
Some weapon and armour upgrades, though not enough yet, and not balanced

Solar Winds masterpost
Solar Winds is a space fantasy ttrpg with inspiration from folklore and mythology, with everything from magic and swords to guns and spaceships, where martials and mages can both flourish, and where untold stories lie awaiting.
Solar Winds will highlight some folklores that don't get enough love; Finnish and Sámi mythologies. In the beginning it will also include Nordic and Pagan folklore as well, and later expand to draw inspiration from more folklores, mythologies, and beliefs, ancient or otherwise.
Mechanically, it is an Action Point system with a focus on making martial characters as fun and versatile as spellcasters. So far it is a d20 system, but development isn't far yet, so such might change if something better presents itself.
This is the masterpost for my work in progress ttrpg, Solar Winds. I will be posting weekly dev logs which, in addition to any other important posts about SolW I make, will be linked here.
I will gladly answer questions and comments, as I know the information here isn't much to go off of, so I hope to be able to explain and show what Solar Winds is and will become.
