FUBAR is a low preparation roleplaying game focusing on a group of talented individuals who have been betrayed by the people they trust. Using the cyberpunk ethos of "Style-over-Substance" it provides a rough framework to tell a tale of revenge, deliberatey leaving out certain information so that players can customise their game at the start of each play session.

In SPLINTER, you embody two characters - the Player, a modern-day gladiator seeking fame or freedom, and their Avatar, a denizen of the Splinter.

A heartwarming, non-violent role-playing game that’s great fun for all ages. It takes place in a small town in rural Japan, and players take on the role of henge (pronounced hen-gay, like a chicken that’s happy), animals with just a little magical power, including the ability to temporarily take human form. They do not fight great battles or unearth valuable treasures though; Golden Sky Stories adventures are all about helping others and becoming friends. |
