Geoff Gray, known as KytinousG, has launched Tales of the Kytin Age on Kickstarter, an immersive fantasy RPG set in Earth’s distant future. Gray has been developing the game and world for over 35 years, Tales of the Kytin Age takes players into a world where towering fungi, mutant insects, and a changed humanity populate the remnants of a lost civilization. This society faces constant threats from the immense creatures that rule the land.
The world, crafted meticulously by Gray, introduces four distinct human forms adapted to the harsh realities of a radically transformed Earth. From Neotypes to Insectiles, players can customize characters based on evolved survival traits, moving beyond traditional RPG archetypes.
Combat relies on strategic turn-based play, pitting characters against nature’s insect overlords. The game’s structure invites character-driven progression, fostering player-driven narratives set against a richly detailed lore that spans cities, kingdoms, and biomes shaped by nuclear winter and a relentless cycle of adaptation.
Gray, responsible for nearly all aspects of the project apart from the artwork by Yasen Stoilov, brings his experience in graphic arts and entomology into Tales of the Kytin Age. Backers have options for a standard gamebook or a deluxe boxed set with added resources including an adventure book, a poster map, a game screen, deluxe character sheets, and a slipcase. Following the launch, Gray plans to release more expansions, supplements, and even miniatures, giving players the tools to fully explore the Kytin Age.
The campaign for Tales of the Kytin Age runs until November 24th.
