Beloved Brazilian Aetherpunk Skyfall RPG Descends onto Kickstarter Today

Florianópolis, Brazil (May 20, 2025) | Prepare to enter a world where magic meets machinery, hope rises from ruin, and every hero is forged in the fires of tragedy. Today, CapyCat Games and Knight Moves Cafe are thrilled to share that Skyfall RPG, the groundbreaking aetherpunk setting for 5e, is coming to international audiences for the first time, starting with a Kickstarter campaign that is now live.

Set in the richly imagined continent of Opath, Skyfall RPG introduces players to a shattered world forever changed by the cataclysmic Skyfalls — massive islands that plummet from the sky, reshaping the land and tearing apart lives. Amidst this destruction, a mysterious and arcane resource known as Aetherium fuels both wonder and war, powering intricate magitech innovations in a world teetering on the edge of annihilation.

“Skyfall RPG is something very dear to our hearts,” said Silvia Sala, CEO of CapyCat Games. “It’s been a long, collaborative, creative journey with our incredible community, and we’re finally ready to introduce Skyfall to the rest of the world.”

Aetherpunk Meets Tragic Fantasy

Skyfall RPG isn’t just a book with new rules— it’s a full campaign setting, with rules infused with the melancholy beauty of tragic heroism. Adventurers navigate in a world destined to end, where the Shade whispers deals for fragments of one’s soul, and a prophesied Third Great Skyfall threatens to end the world once and for all.

From mighty guilds to lone seekers, players must face impossible choices: When the sky falls and the world burns… will you rise, or be forgotten?

Reimagined 5e Classes and Magitech Marvels

Skyfall breathes new life into every 5E class, merging arcane power with engineered ingenuity. Highlights include:

• Path of the Augmentation Barbarian – Body-modified berserkers enhanced with magitech and runes.
  
• Blustereer Fighter – Precision tacticians who craft custom ammunition mid-battle.
  
• Tinkerer Rogue – Inventive saboteurs who embrace chaos to create gadgets on-the-fly.
  
• Blustermage Wizard – Hybrid casters who wield devastating Bluster Weapons alongside spellcraft.

Four New Playable Species

Skyfall introduces four wildly distinct species to choose from:

• Anuri – Frogfolk nobles from ancient swamp dynasties.
  
• Drakelings – Tiny dragonkin protectors of Opath’s fragile balance.
  
• Sanguir – Cursed vampiric aristocrats seeking redemption or power.
  
• Urodel – Lizardfolk mystics whose very essence is tied to the seasons.

A Vibrant World on the Brink

Each of Opath’s regions offers a unique flavor of storytelling and danger:

• Blurgh’ta: Swamp royalty and bug-riding duelists.
  
• Norvak: Frozen fortresses and monster-hunting orders.
  
• Huma Archipelago: Spirits, sacrifice, and the scars of war.
  
• Mirmir Desert: Sun temples and blood alchemy.
  
• Lim’Sa Confederation: Inventors scavenging the ruins of fallen cities.
  
• Wam’Mawina Republic: Arcane orchards and cultural diplomacy.
  
• Forah Protectorate: Elven courts entangled in seasonal politics and planar magic.
  
• Tatsumari: Sword monks and snow-covered secrets.
  
• Tormund: Tragedy-haunted ruins pulsing with dangerous innovation.
  
• Thur-Thur: Trade, prophecy, and the beating heart of Opath.

From dreamlike rains known as The Drizzle to unexplored Skyfall impact zones, every journey in Skyfall is rich with mystery, magic, and meaning.

Adventure that Changes the World

During the campaign, backers will receive exclusive weekly adventures and playtest content. Through Skyfall’s Organized Play system, players can report their outcomes and shape the direction of future stories, deciding the fate of entire factions and regions.
