When Sky and Sea Were Not Named

When Sky & Sea Were Not Named is tabletop RPG about heroes who protect a realm of floating islands from the forces of chaos and death. It takes place on a far-future science-fantasy version of the planet Jupiter—called the Skysea by its denizens.

The game features original mechanics and a setting inspired by the mythology of the ancient Canaanites, later known as Phoenicians—the fine folks who invented the alphabet. It's got:

• Ancient sentient pool noodle weapons

• Battle-jellyfish and skyseahorse mounts

• Clay golem amnesiacs from a lost kingdom

• Dynamic combat focused on risking your defenses

• Empire with animal-headed citizens and magical technology

• Four origins, six callings, and ~40 types of lore, yielding tons of character options

• Guide (GM) supports, including two sample adventures and 40+ NPCs

• Hero pregens (six of 'em) for players who want to jump right in

• Ideals that can be invoked to gain advantage on actions and challenges

• Jump attacks

• ... and more!

The game includes, all for free:

• 170-page core rulebook

• Hero Sheets and Island Sheets, both online and print

• 50-page adventure book for Guides

• a Foes & Folks tracker for Guide-controlled NPCs
