Description

From the introduction:

Between the Skies is a cosmic fantasy game of travel and exploration across endless worlds. Between the Skies is also
a set of modular procedures, tables and methods that can help spark your imagination and bind together your chosen fragments from the ever expanding cosmos of rpg creation. It can serve as the core of your game, the ground on which you place all other elements, or it can be a resource for a game based on other systems and other approaches.

In the following pages there are procedures for character generation, encounters, world-building, spell-casting, and more. These procedures do not rely on, or constitute, a single unified system, and they are not dependent on one another to function.
