Run! RUN!

At some night in the past, a flash awoke the world in the middle of dawn, and everything went out, not only the lights in the houses, but the cell phones, computers, vehicles, everything that the human being had built, now in ruins. No matter how rudimentary the attempts to make a simple light bulb work, nothing worked
They called it The Burning
Soon came chaos, anarchy, and the months that came were months of destruction. 
Today, so many years later, we survive amidst the rubble of what was once civilization, the dark fantasy of centuries of darkness mingling with the false hope of a future. Decadence. 
Whose side are you in?

Sky Beyond the Darkness is a solo journaling game set in a post-apocalyptic future where you are a survivor struggling not to perish to the dark side of what's left of humanity.  Through the streets of Cathedral City, you will have to sneak around in search of food and resources, you will encounter situations and people of dubious nature, you will constantly be at risk, and you will have to survive your escape from the city.

Inside you find:

  • A challenging post-apocalyptic setting
  • Simple character creation with objective attributes
  • A fast roll based on d6 and d20
  • A system where your decisions will define your nature, are u good or evil?
  • Run through 9 events or fail drastically

Note: This adventure may bring up themes of violence, alienation, and fear. Make sure you are in agreement with the proposed theme and conduct your adventures calmly, carefully, and attentively. Your physical and mental health should always come first.

Created during the #LoneWolfSoloTTRPGJam, inspired by theme of #ApocalypseTTRPGGameJam and with name generated on  #AdventureJam.  SBtD is part of the RPGLatAm Collection, check to know more about LatAm games & designers.

Banjo's Homebrew 

Some time ago, Banjo published on his blog several tables and supplements to deepen the experiences and actions in SBtD, I even published a devlog about it, but I thought it would be interesting to leave it here so that you can have more direct access to this incredible material! Go check the Banjo's homebrew and have a good adventure!

hi there fabulous creator. Just curious if there’s any more community copies available? I really appreciate game creators like you who do generously offer these community copies to people going through a hard time. It really helps out.

Thank you in advance

Heeeey! CC's added =D

thank you heaps

thank you so much

I’m a disabled pensioner with PTSD, chronic anxiety and depression and these new community games available by generous creators like you make a huge difference to my daily life.

Having new games to play every day helps me have a bit better quality of life and makes such a huge difference to me. I know some people think anyone requesting community copies regularly are just abusing this system and don’t need them.

I can’t afford much but do buy bundles when I can afford them. I have bought games I lay regularly as I can afford them to

Sorry for the delay. Don't worry, I hope you have fun! And I've also added several community copies to all my games, so you can get yours ;D
