From the PDF: So, what exactly is the Eldritch Skies RPG? It’s a roleplaying game of somewhat cinematic Lovecraftian SF. Let’s start with the first half of that sentence first. A roleplaying game is basically shared storytelling. You get together with several friends and create a tale. In the case of Eldritch Skies, you’ve got heroes defending the Earth and its off-world colonies from the monsters and foes of the Cthulhu Mythos, but that’s not all. Unlike any other kind of game, your group’s story can take you, the characters, and the mythos universe anywhere you want it to. The action takes place in your imaginations, and the story is told through your interactions.
