Skyrealms of Jorune
BROWSE MY JORUNE ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK

150 years from now
Humans impose their will and technology upon a distant world.

3500 years from now
Man's rule is ancient history, Earth only a shadowy myth. Humans and other intelligent races survive using technologies and tools of other times and other cultures. Their own inspiring past eagerly awaits discovery beneath millennia of war and regrowth.

A very different RPG setting from the usual quasi-medieval Europe backgrounds, Jorune was doomed to obscurity for its very weirdness. A product of the Eighties, Jorune was crafted with loving care by Andrew Leker, Miles Teves, and Amy Leker. In addition to the exotic background, the illustrations by Teves set a striking tone and help the players to immerse themselves in the setting.

Contains: Tauther Guide; Player Manual; Sholari Guide; Skyrealm Kolovisondra campaign; Character & resource sheets.

TAUTHER GUIDE (1)
Written by sages and high-ranking officials of Burdoth, the Tauther Guide is a handbook for Jorune explorers. It combines the warnings of a survival guide, the wonders of a cultural guide, and the practicalities of daily life to present a balanced picture of Jorune to all who venture beyond their familiar city or country surroundings. Citizenship, laws, etiquette and languages are explored. Heavily illustrated, with maps.

PLAYER MANUAL (2)
Guides players through character generation, dice, skills, the three races of humans (humans, muadra, boccord), energy manipulation, combat, and history of the planet from two different cultural perspectives. Human culture, law, and citizenship are discussed.

SHOLARI GUIDE (3)
Written especially for game masters, with an omniscient perspective of the planet and information that players receive in the Tauther Guide. Has an extensive encounter generation system unique to Jorune. Technologies, weather generation, terrains, civilizations, history and creature descriptions are covered -- with many non-intelligent creature illustrations that are not in the Tauther Guide. Heavily illustrated, with maps.

SKY REALMS CAMPAIGN (4)
The Sky Realms Campaign is a complete beginning Jorune Adventure that takes place on a newly discovered sky realm floating above the planet. Players venture through areas mapped especially for the campaign. Detailed encounters, new items and energy-manipulation techniques are provided. A step-by-step guide to refereeing Jorune.

RolePlaying on Jorune
Jorune is a place where names like Iscin and Maytrish inspire admiration, where the thailiers of the huge Corondon are cast into blades, where Shanthas rule a technology invisible to humans. The referee is not the absolute controller of the players' fate.

Encounters and Combat
Referees rejoice! You wonít be stranded with volumes of Jorune material that you can't mold into encounters. Examples of encounters with every type of creature are provided, and all can be generated with a few simple rolls. Our tables create, for example: An injured, scragger-infested croid, remedying his wounds. The possibilities are endless.
Our combat system strips the hit-points out of gaming, and puts the action back in. Wounds are assessed for everything from thombo kicks to blaster shots. Adding a few numbers together, and thinking in the role-playing spirit are what it takes to master the Jorune combat system.

Ambient Energy
Jorune is permeated by an exotic form of energy unlike any found on Earth. Some creatures have learned to utilize this power in forms both destructive and benign - most manipulation techniques are skills which must be learned. The road to mastery is long, but the powers are great.

Companion Jorune : Burdoth
"This book is your companion to the realm of Burdoth. It contains timelines, detailed
histories, and maps.

READY FOR SOME GAMING?
Why not start your group in southern Glounda, searching for crystal dust. If your players survive the croid, let them pick up a pibber pet in Sutor, and then on to Glounda, where those darling pets will end up on a plate if your players aren't careful. Sail up the Lusail river to Lus'ikai for some Sarla wine-tasting. Take the shortcut to Lelligire in the rainy season - when you arrive you may find your clothes a bit worn, but in this fabric capital you can buy the best. Make an appearance in Sydra sporting your new Lelligirian duds - the players are sure to be noticed, but not necessarily admired. After a dichandra hunt with the Thiven in the Cushindell marshes, take your players home through the Gauss valley; they can see the rebuilding of Khaun Gauss and the ruins of Ninindrue. After a rest in Ardoth, your players will be ready for more exploring - the entire realm of Heridoth still awaits them, yet they have barely begun to explore Burdoth, their home realm."
