Heliosail is Funding Next Week

Heliosail, the pulpy, solarpunk adventure game of 2025, has finally confirmed a date for crowdfunding! Fans can back the project on Gamefound starting October 14th. 

The game was released this past June in digital form on DriveThruRPG and Itchio. Citing inspirations like Treasure Planet (2002) and Mass Effect (2007-2012), Heliosail brings together the best elements of classic sci-fi and swashbuckling fun, with a hint of cosmic horror in the background. 

Now, it’s being brought from digital-only to physical print. While it’s always nice to have a book for your game table, Heliosail’s leveling system, which lets you pick a new ability each time a skill improves, makes a real book nearly indispensable. 

In addition to books, the campaign is debuting with a brand new adventure themed for the Halloween season; Curse of the S.W.S. Serenity. This spooky four hour experience is a perfect one-shot or side quest to drop into your ongoing games, and will feature a detailed game map by the talented Zach Moeller.

Rewards

There will be four backer bundles to choose from, including a digital-only version for those who just want the new adventure. However, if you’re new to Heliosail, the Gamefound campaign will be featuring a “Starter Kit” bundle that will have everything you need to play. Not only will you be receiving the physical book, but also a set of 8-sided dice, a pack of character sheets that includes some pre-made characters to get you started, and two adventures to play through.

Some limited edition extras, such as this stunning art nouveau print, will also be available only during this campaign.
