They Came from the Cyclops's Cave!

The first game I've ever pitched and developed is out!

They Came from the Cyclops's Cave! is a game of fantasy cinematic adventure. Part of the They Came From series by Onyx Path Publishing, Cyclops's Cave is completely standalone, an awesome game covering fantasy in all its shapes.

Each They Came From is a love letter to a given movie/media genre zeitgeist, and I pitched Cyclops's Cave to be unique and do the whole fantasy genre. It allows to play from Harryhausen movies to The Lord of the Rings, passing through Xena, Ladyhawke, He-Man, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, The Black Cauldron, and Dragonheart.

Seriously, I can't overstate how much range this game has. Like, it *technically* covers TV shows and movies from the 40s to the 90s, but I am who I am, so you'll find nods to Adventure Time, Zelda, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and many more in here. Of course you will, this game's my baby, and I wanted it to commit to fantasy at its fullest.

Here you'll find:

- Tools to create your own heroes, be them warriors, gorgons, pixies, slimes, or mimics

- Cinematic powers that replicate movie beats.

- A vast collection of antagonists and creatures.

- Two ready-made scenarios.

...and much more!

Seriously, I love They Came From, how it combines comedy and devotion to media at the table through honest love. This baby of mine is the result of so much hard work, done by a team of awesome people who poured their love for the project into all pages.

Please consider checking it out! That would mean the world to me.

(Also: Cyclops's Cave is the foundation for the upcoming They Came From Witchford Academy!, its very cool upcoming Magical School supplement!)

To be fair to Polyphemus, if a bunch of strangers broke into my home and killed and ate my pet(s), I would probably try to kill all of them too. I wouldn't care how hungry they were at that point. If you had waited five minutes for me to get home I would have made you some sandwiches, but NoOoOo.

You're MY lunch now, motherfuckers.

#the odyssey #epic the musical #epic the cyclops saga #greek mythology #if they had just taken a moment to properly look around first they probably would have realized the cave was lived in #but nooooo they had to kill the sheep immediately and without thought for why those sheep were there

“I still believe in goodness/ I still believe that we could be kind”

yea odysseus? that’s what we’re feeling? I think we’ve kinda given up on being kind after throwing a literal baby off a PALACE WALL

#epic the musical #Odysseus #epic the ocean saga #luck runs out makes my blood boil #but the characterization is on point #astyanax #“I took 600 men to war and not one of them died there shut the fuCK UP #are we just gonna ignore your pancaked friends in the cyclops cave?#I hate him

Long John Silver, confronted DIRECTLY with a cynical and unbelieving man who literally had him in chains, someone who could draw linear and unflattering comparisons between his old self and his new persona, and he STILL MANAGES TO FUCKING NAT 20 HIS PERSUASION CHECK

#black sails #my posts #I can’t fucking escape Israel hands. if you know you know #silver’s MO is still to run his mouth while getting his ass beat #until the person beating his ass starts listening to him #and the outcast asked the outcast ‘who are you? that I should pay you any mind?’#and the pirate king looked back and said ‘I am nobody. from nowhere. belonging to nothing’#ODYSSEUS IN THE FUCKING CYCLOPS CAVE

officially started lanks' route today ! good lird lanks is now everything to me

#not that the other two aren't. all three are everything to me #lanks just kind of. hits close to home HFGSDHJFLS #i love him so much ok. also DAMN he is NOT fucking around all the battles take. so short jesus christ #go whiteboy go i guess? but SPARE ME. FUCK #honestly good for him he SO deserves it. he so deserves to go completely feral #liam can have a little bit of killing and violence. as a treat <3 #also apparently i didnt get the camo shawl which im guessing was in the cave segment before the sportsdome that i accidentally skipped. fuc #WELL i can do without it. maybe. hopefully. child's blanket shouuuld be good enough maybe #tbh i think i had more fun during cyclops' route?? idk i just love playing tanks ig #lanks is great but he's not fully my style of gameplay. cyclops' fighting style is a lot more satisfying to me #but i gotta admit that taking out grunts in 1 turn is incredible #but still.#wow i cant believe i missed lanks so much in cyclops' route and now i miss cyclops in lanks' route..#I GOT USED TO FIGHTING WITHOUT LANKS OK #NOW I NEED TO GET USED TO FIGHTING WITHOUT CYCLOPS #this is gonna be haaard but im very close to the endgame now. just crashed the caravan so its gonna be like. 1 or 2 h until the ending or s #overall ! lanks' route is fun and i guess it IS easier but its less satisfying and takes. so much shorter. tbh HGFSDHJFLS #then im gonna do beltboy's !!! and then. im gonna try doing rod's route in pain mode </3 #im gonna die so much but i think i got pretty good at this game. so

Why the fuck is the ghost leviathan so close to the lost river entrance that thing is meant to be way further into the blood kelp. I’m so done with these things I’m going to go on a mission to make this planet extinct of them

#get off me!!!!#leave me to try and ram my huge ass cyclops into this tiny fucking cave

Jeez, any time I confront with some barriers fantasy games tend to have, I'm really happy & proud the one I developed allow you to look like anyone, in any role.

Really, bless the They Came From's Archetype model.
