Golden Sky Stories

about

A couple of years ago, I supported a Kickstarter for an RPG, Golden Sky Stories ( goo.gl/iG9r9k ). It's got all the fun trappings of anime or Japanese video games, but it's nonviolent and intended for players young and older. It is straight-up adorbs, and I recommend it highly.

Anyway, one of the updates was a vote on what extra setting to do as a Stretch Goal. If you wanted Friendship Time, you commented with the word BUBBLEGUM; if you wanted the Aegis of Equine, your word was HORSEY; and for Fantasy Friends, SLIME. Which is why the word "slime" is in the lyrics. Because I couldn't just vote -- suddenly, I was inspired, and I wrote them a theme song.

Nobody ever said a thing about it. I have no idea if they noticed at all. But, hey. I got a song out of it. And, now, so have you.

lyrics

We are in Another World, under a Golden Sky
How we got here's not important, and nobody's asking why,
But we’ve made this our community, and every day we try,
To be the very best that we can be.

In my tavern, I see every type of person come and go,
Some are friendly, some are grouchy, some are fast and some are slow,
Some aren't even really human, but they’re pretty nice to know,,
And we’re here together, happy, strong, and free.

Under a... Golden Sky, nothing is quite what it seems,
Under a... Golden Sky, some alone and some in teams,
Under a... Golden Sky, we have hopes and we have dreams,
In Another World, beneath a Golden Sky.

We've got clever magic animals, and children who are wise,
We've got cute and fuzzy kittens with demonic glowing eyes,
We've got ancient household spirits, of every shape and size,
And the gods of winter, summer, spring, and fall.

Kidnapped royalty is always rescued in the nick of time,
Ancient ruins house the kami and the oni and green slime,
Lots of creatures with such complex names, I cannot make them rhyme,
But our village has a place for them all.

Under a... Golden Sky, we will always do our best,
Under a... Golden Sky, every new choice is a test,
Under a... Golden Sky, we'll do better than the rest,
And we'll bring the rest along so we'll all fly.

Under a... Golden Sky, there's so much to see and do,
Under a... Golden Sky, and we'll share it all with you,
Under a... Golden Sky, all your wishes can come true,
In Another World, beneath a Golden Sky.

Under a... Golden Sky, nothing is quite what it seems,
Under a... Golden Sky, come alone or come in teams,
Under a... Golden Sky, bring your hopes and live your dreams,
In Another World, beneath a Golden Sky.
In Another World, beneath a Golden Sky.
