The sequel to the top-rated board game Sleeping Gods has launched its new crowdfunding campaign. Red Raven Games launched the Gamefound crowdfunding campaign for Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies this week and has already raised over $1.1 million, which matches the total from Sleeping Gods’ first Kickstarter campaign. Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies is an open-world cooperative campaign game in which players explore a large world represented by a book of maps. Each player controls one or more members of the crew of a ship – or a cargo ship in Distant Skies case – all of whom have individual stats and unique abilities. The game has a branching storyline that involves trying to escape the mystery realm the characters find themselves in. In the first game, this involved the collection of totems tied to the titular Sleeping Gods. It’s unclear what sort of strange pulp-themed storyline awaits players in the new game.
