I'm always in the mood for more tabletop solarpunk experiences, and a journal RPG sounds like the perfect thing to tide me over until Earthborne Rangers: Legacy of the Ancestors comes out.

Tell me what a journal RPG is and how it differs from other RPGs?

In a kinda not-comprehensive way: Journal/journaling RPGs are basically the idea of writing a journal of the character you're roleplaying as. :D
Often times, you make a character, and the game randomizes what situations they find themselves in. Many Journaling RPGs are solo affairs as well. (Seeds of Renewal is about exploring a solarpunk world and writing about your character's experiences with the communities, ecosystems, and technology they encounter.) :D
A really famous journaling RPG is Thousand Year Old Vampire, where you roleplay as (you guessed it) a Thousand Year Old Vampire and journal about what happens to them over time. :D
If you want to see this format in action, I'd recommend this Shut Up & Sit Down review. They do a great job showing what makes journal RPGs fun and interesting! :D

I am anxiously awaiting my copy of ER from the campaign last year. Hopefully fulfillment starts this month!

So exciting! Have you played the first campaign or are you going to experience it for the first time?

Nope haven't played it at all but have watched some plays of the tutorial and parts of the first day. I am so stoked.
