I am Gabriel Caetano (they/them), and I am a queer, Latine parent, TRPG creator, audio professional, and game facilitator (aka GM) from Brazil. The Gift of Dice is the playful name I chose to publish my art. I make role-playing games, as well as TTRPG-adjacent experiences, mostly fantasy-related, although I have been getting increasingly into weird fantasy and have been more and more interested in anthropology and the role games have in human life.

# ROOTS & FLOWERS
 A Solarpunk Hack of Lasers & Feelings

In a not-so-distant future, we gave up the illusion of knowing better. This opened new avenues in technological innovation, improving life, and opening our awareness of the subtle, ancestral magic of the world.

You are the local community’s troubleshooters. Your community turns to you for aid in things big and small. You resolve them by means of innovation, knowledge, technology, mediation, and ancestral guidance.

Player Goals:

* aid and support your community;
* go on wild, fun, solarpunk adventures;
* challenge the legacy of the World Before;
* imagine possible futures.

> The ebook (epub) and Simple Text (rtf) versions contain the entire game and are available for free in the “Download the demo” section, as well as the repository online on Codeberg.  

### About ROOTS & FLOWERS

ROOTS & FLOWERS is a Solarpunk game. Here we imagine what could happen when communities take a hard turn toward inclusive, sustainable living.

Use your tech-savvy, interpersonal skills or ancestral magic to tackle issues that trouble your community and enjoy something nice - we all deserve it.

This game was made for the  [Applied Hope Jam](https://itch.io/jam/applied-hope)  and the  [Solarpunk Jam](https://itch.io/jam/solarpunk-jam).
