It came from... The Skies!!!: The Megagame

$300.00

This product is the full package, meant for anyone who wants to run It Came From…. The Skies!!! themselves, or anyone with a curiosity of what goes into the entire game. It is NOT necessary to buy this if you are playing in an event - your event organizer will provide you with all the documentation you will need. Look further down the page for a complete listing of all the files you’ll receive as part of the purchase.

It all begins on an ordinary day when mysterious alien spacecraft suddenly fill the skies, casting eerie shadows over the nations of Earth. As chaos erupts and panic spreads among the global population, you and your fellow leaders must navigate a treacherous path to secure the survival of humanity. The fate of the world rests on your shoulders, and the decisions you make will shape the future of Earth.

Will you choose diplomacy and seek peaceful coexistence with these enigmatic beings from beyond the stars? Or will you lead your nation into a desperate and courageous defense against the alien invaders? The clock is ticking, and every decision you make will have far-reaching consequences. Forge alliances, mobilize your military, engage in high-stakes negotiations, and make choices that will determine the destiny of our planet.

It came from… The Skies!!! is a new, custom-made game for the Dukes of Highland. We’ve designed it from the ground up to allow us to bolt on new threats which drive the story. This version is our love letter to the popular game Watch the Skies (a version of which we ran back in 2022).
