Broken Sky
Broken Sky is an online, transmedia Live Action Alternate Reality Roleplaying Game (LAARRG) that was run live with a cast and crew of 20+ TTRPG performers, writers, and designers on Bluesky during the month of July, 2025. Broken Sky was a promotional collaboration between the actual play podcasts Oops, All Witches and The Witches of Wederra Keep, as well as with Possum Creek Games. The digital record of Broken Sky as well as all (currently playable) puzzles and games exist entirely on the official website, https://www.brokensky.blue, with links to collaborators’ .pdfs and itch.io pages on their respective landing pages.
Debuted in June 2025. Introduction of main characters leading to the mechanics introductions starting on the summer solstice, June 21.
