Fractured Skies

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A long time ago, the world was whole. Then the Endbringers came.

Fractured Skies is a spiritual sequel to Inverse World Accelerated. The world of the Skies was almost destroyed by men who learned how to kill the gods themselves, and the survivors are rebuilding civilization on the islands left behind.

It's not easy going—resources are tight, the most precious resource is a metal mined from the husks of the dead gods, and the bird-folk of the ascendant Apex Empire will try to crush anyone who threatens their dominance. But you have the freedom to travel the Skies. You can explore, trade, and meet the cultures that still eke out an existence in this world. And maybe you can give them hope. 

Fractured Skies is a third-party Fate book, and needs Fate Core to play. Inside, you can find:

  • An overview of the Fractured Skies setting and its themes
  • job system with 16 archetypes to choose from. Weave magic spells as an Arcanist, protect the remaining temples with sword and coin as a Templar, or just pass through as a Tourist
  • Rules for creating cultures (based on Fate Codex work by Quinn Murphy) and islands, including random tables
  • A host of example encounters, from predatory Dropbears to land-hating Muraenid to the Endbringers themselves
  • Six sample characters

This is our home now. Might as well make the best of it.

I'm curious, what's the job system like, and how is it different from/similar to the one in IWA?

(Also, the previews don't seem to be working.)

Thanks for the heads up! The previews should work now, and I expanded it to include the Job section.

Basically, your character's Job gives them a skill pyramid with some pre-defined skills, some optional stunts that can only be taken by someone with that Job, and some example aspects. Fate System Toolkit's Professions & Races system is similar, though we don't use Races and the aspects are optional. Compared to IWA, the skill pyramid adds some complexity but there are fewer stunts so each Job fits on a single page.

Some Jobs are adapted from IWA - the Captain and Survivor were brought over directly, while the Mechanic and Sky Dancer became the Tinker and Rider. The rest were chosen to suit the game's themes of exploration and trade: the Clerk is a traveling bureaucrat who relies on their skill with words and documents, Templars are holy warrior-bankers who keep trade routes safe, Tourists are explorers who get by on wonder and luck, etc.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
