Secrets, Curiosities, and the Genius of Ryan Laukat
The Bard of FroGames tells you stories of distant skies and intertwined worlds
Not all adventures fit into one box. Some demand new horizons.
So sings the Bard of FroGames as he raises the curtain on Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies Collector's Edition , the new chapter created by Ryan Laukat , author, illustrator, and storyteller of worlds without borders, already available in Italian thanks to DV Games . But this is not just the continuation of Sleeping Gods. It is the fulfillment of a greater vision. And the Bard is ready to tell you about it.
🌍 Why was Distant Skies born?
When Ryan Laukat designed Sleeping Gods , he envisioned a vast universe: mysterious islands, ancient races, dark plots, and remote locations. "The first game only contained part of the story. The rest? It lay in the shadows, biding its time." Distant Skies Collector's Edition is born from that untold lore. It's not an expansion. It's a new adventure that brings to light all the stories the first game couldn't contain. What's new? 🌍 Expanded stories and new storylines.
🔎 Never-before-seen locations in the world of Sleeping Gods.
📝 Characters and factions ready to intertwine with those familiar with the Red Raven universe.
✈️ The airplane: an idea that changes everything
In the first Sleeping Gods , players sailed the seas. But Laukat wanted something bolder for Distant Skies. "Travel had to be global. Not just islands. Not just seas. But skies." Hence the plane mechanic, inspired by 1930s pulp adventure films like Indiana Jones: ✈️ Fast travel between distant areas.
🗺️ More dynamic and connected action.
🔥 Greater variety than the first chapter. A choice that not only expands the gameplay, but conveys a feeling of true global exploration .
🎨 Ryan Laukat: the author-artist
Few in the board game world can say they do it all : design, writing, and illustration. Ryan Laukat is one of those rare all-round creators. ✍️ Every storyline bears his narrative signature.
🎨 Every image is born from his graphic vision.
🧠 The thematic and visual coherence of Sleeping Gods is 100% the result of his creativity.
When a single author sings stories and draws them with the same hand, the world that emerges is more real.
🧩 Easter Eggs and Connections: The Red Ravenverse
The Distant Skies Collector's Edition isn't a standalone game. It's part of a network of worlds that intertwines with other Red Raven titles: 🧩 Races and characters familiar from Above & Below and Near & Far .
🔎 Places that repeat and transform from game to game.
🎮 A shared lore for those who love discovering every little hidden reference. Those who have explored the other games will recognize clues and connections… but even those who are new will find a complete adventure.
📖 An advanced narrative experience
The Distant Skies Collector's Edition perfects the Sleeping Gods narrative formula: 📖 Branching stories with lasting consequences.
🎲 More dynamic meetings.
⚖️ Decisions that impact the world even after a game. "You don't just play a campaign. You experience a saga that changes with you."
You don't just play a campaign. You experience a saga that evolves with you.
🧭 Is this the game for you?
If you love narrative games where every choice matters , if you seek a deep exploration experience, and if you've dreamed of flying over imaginary worlds… Distant Skies Collector's Edition is your next destination. If you already loved Sleeping Gods, get ready: this isn't just a sequel. It's the other half of the journey you've already begun .
