Castles in the Air uses Good Society for coming-of-age roleplaying

Storybrewers Roleplaying are back on Kickstarter, well over their funding target and using the Good Society rules for Castles in the Air RPG.

Invoking stories like Little Women and Anne of Green Gables, Castles of the Air has characters begin as tight-knit children and then has them grow up. You can see progress or back from the pitch page.

Castles of the Air is a new tabletop roleplaying game that explores the themes of coming-of-age, friendship, and self-discovery.

There’s a free to download preview of chapter one.

Players begin the game as children, embarking on small adventures and forming close bonds. As the game progresses, their characters age, and their relationships evolve, facing new challenges and experiences.

Castles of the Air aims to capture the complexities of growing up and finding one’s place in the world. The game explores themes of love, loss, ambition, and the enduring power of friendship. It offers players a unique opportunity to delve into heartfelt and dramatic storytelling shaped by their choices and experiences.

If you’re coming from Good Society, you might be asking: “what’s different?” It isn’t just that you start the game as children, although that’s fun. It’s the way that playing out the shared history of your characters creates stories you could never dream of if you started the game as adults. Castles in the Air adds dreams and bosom enemies to the heart of every character and reflects these over time in a truly unique way.

There’s a Financial Harship tier for less than half the AU$34 (£18) cost of the core digital edition. That core tier gets the Castles in the Air PDF, base deck and ‘Family & Passion Deck’.

The base physical set unlocks at AU$99 with the rulebook and base deck in paper and PDF, with the ‘Family & Passion Deck’ only as a PDF. Add-ons, though, can change that.

It’s AU$129 for the complete set of cards and books in physical.

There are retailer tiers and even combo discounts at AU$369 for people wanting to grab Good Society in hardback while they’re at it. Over a dozen backers have.

Storybrewers calculate a March 2025 delivery and the campaign runs until June 9th.
