Skinner, the eye-catching, brain-melting artist behind Bloody FM’s podcast Skin Crawl, is dusting off that card table in your parents’ basement for his latest horror venture.

Already funded via BackerKit in a mere 24 hours, Realm Runners is an old-school board game from renowned visionary artist Skinner and game design wizard Jason Furie!

Skinner previews the 2-4 player tabletop horror game, “Welcome to Realm Runners — Survive the realms. Destroy the gods. And get back home. No matter the cost! Featuring fast-paced competitive co-op gameplay with high levels of player interaction.”

Realm Runners is “brimming with top-notch game components and detailed miniatures,” featuring 100+ new psychedelic drawings from Skinner. It’s said to be “casual rules-lite gameplay perfect for newcomers to the hobby,” with “enough variety and strategy for seasoned gamers.”

The base components that come with every edition – such as the Base Edition ($69), the Deluxe Edition ($89), the Gamer Edition ($150), and the Epic Loot Edition ($300) – include:

  • 1 game box
  • 5 game boards
  • 8 standees
  • 4 player boards
  • 3 boss boards
  • 56 movement cards
  • 16 minion cards
  • 63 loot cards
  • 6 custom dice
  • 83 player tokens
  • 79 board tokens
  • 1 rule booklet

Featuring original characters including Froglor, Grimmbo, TC-1991, and Shroom Zombie, Realm Runners promises to be a blast from the past and something new entirely. The plan is to start manufacturing the game this summer, with shipping starting by the end of the year.

Realm Runners is crowdfunding on BackerKit now until March 21. Pitch in today!

Skinner is an illustrator, painter, sculptor, and so much more who has worked with the likes of Warner Bros, Adult Swim, Vans, Apple, Quentin Tarantino, Fender guitars, and Juxtapoz.

Suspiria Button-Up from Middle of Beyond

I’d drape myself in Suspiria‘s lavish aesthetic every day if I could. Middle of Beyond’s new button-up shirt — with an all-over print featuring many of the film’s iconic visuals — is the next best thing.

It costs $60, and you can complete the outfit with matching shorts for the same price.
