SKYREALMS Press Kit

KICKSTARTER Campaign running from June 7 to July 5

Three floating islands veiled in mist…

Three floating islands drift in the thick Mist. Eerie creatures dwell among the clefts, and slumbering cyclopes lie awaiting to be awakend. Hanging at the threshold between mortals and gods, brimming with secrets and mysteries, as  charming as they are perilous: the SKYREALMS await the adventurer.

A WORD FROM IKO

The last couple of years have been challenging on so many levels for all of us, and for me too. TTRPG and drawing brought me some solace, and through SKYREALMS I’ve found a way to put these two hobbies together. SKYREALMS is a game about exploration and wonder, it has a modular structure, and each component of the Full Game Pack adds a layer to the fantastic world you are discovering. Each step makes it more familiar and more alien at the same time. You can customize your SKYREALMS experience to fit your setting or just chill out and see where Evlyn’s beautiful art takes you. You can play it like a RPG for adults or read its poetry and lore inserts with your kids.

SKYREALMS is a labor of love from writers, designers, artists and producers across the TTRPG scene. It came about because we wanted to make something a little bit cool, a little bit weird, and a little bit zen - and now it has come together and we can’t wait to share it with you and hear your stories.
