Flying Ostriches & Floating Castles

Flying Ostriches & Floating Castles is a Solo or Player vs Player tabletop roleplaying game.

Steady your lance and take off on the back of your trusty ostrich to explore a world suspended among the clouds. Joust renegade knights and battle fearsome aerial monsters. Collect treasures of questionable value and discover the strange remnants of a vanished civilization that may yet return one day. Make small talk with a flying turtle. Trust me, it all comes together nicely.

The rules are based on Troika!, but are simplified and streamlined for ease of play. As soon as you create a character you can start playing. Random tables build your world as you explore, populating it with mysterious castles, treasure-laden but treacherous mountain peaks, and omen-cursed cloud islands where ancient technologies whir and thrum just beneath the surface. It is designed to be low-impact in terms of both prep and propelling the adventure forward, but still rich with possibilities. There is always something to do.

This game incorporates exploration, resource management, and combat, all combined into a fast-paced, challenging but light rpg that you can dip into for a quick excursion or clear your schedule for an extended adventure. There is an overarching story for you to unravel involving the ancient race of giants that built castles on solid clouds, but you can totally ignore it if you’d rather just fly around and fight and find stuff.
