In the lead-up to their full launch early next year, Failbetter Games has released a pen and paper RPG companion to Sunless Skies and best of all it is free! Skyfarer is meant to help acquaint players with the neo-gothic theme and feel of Sunless Skies and designed by industry veterans Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor, both of Rowan, Rook, and Deckard.

Skyfarer requires a d3, a d6, and a d10 and at least two players but it is suggested that you have five people playing, gamesmaster included. The basic idea is that the gamesmaster is an incapacitated sky captain, and all of the other players are crew members on the captain’s steam-powered ship making its way through the vast emptiness of space. The mission? It’s all up to the gamemaster to decide but the document gives a few examples that you can use.
