TOONARIA
Toonaria is a post-apocalyptic realm of epic magic, advanced technology, skyships, fallen gods, secret agendas, secret societies, adorable, but dangerous monsters, towering kaiju, sky pirates, superheroes, and much, much more. On the surface, Toonaria probably seems like a ludicrous universe being that the heroes sometimes exhibit questionable intelligence and get into all sorts of trouble. The notion is likely further bolstered by the fact that most of its denizens are either adorable monsters or giant kaiju (as are many of the bad guys), but it’s really so, so much more than that.



SKY ARKS
Most folks in Toonaria live on Sky Arks, massive floating structures created by powerful beings. Each sky ark is made up of seven layers of floating island chains held aloft by mysterious obelisks, aethyrstone and the will of the gods and Architects. We’ll be focusing on Sky Ark Majestica. It features the following seven floating island chain layers from top to bottom: Xanadu, Elementara, Arcasia, Colossea, Storm Garden, Ever Dark and Zothmaru.
​
Toonaria is usually lighter in tone than the Cosmoverse, (hence the cuter art), but it has a darker underbelly, too, and surprising depth. It will appeal to both kids and adults alike.
​
Toonaria has lots of cool, off the beaten path concepts we are certain will resonate with many of you! One is called Pink Syndrome. Here's an audio clip about Pink Syndrome we think you'll enjoy!

DARKEST HOUR ROLEPLAYING GAME
We have designed dozens of games set in the Toonaria universe and are working on even more, but we are only beginning to pursue publication. Our first Toonaria-based game heading for Kickstarter 3rd quarter 2025 is Midnight Guardians. Check out that cool game for a delicious taste of Toonaria. We are up on Kickstarter right now as a Pre-launch page!
We also have in the works two roleplaying games: Darkest Hour and Adventures in Toonaria.
​
Darkest Hour is a rules super-lite, grim, cooperative, storytelling roleplaying game of cute horror.
​
Objective: Discover more about yourself, why you are here and what you are going to do about it. There isn’t a winner. You won if you had fun. This game is about self-discovery and telling an interesting story. All players run a character in the story and make choices that affect the story permanently.
You start off the game with no memory of who you are or how you came to be found amid the wreckage of a slaver ship in a bleak, icy landscape. We are super excited about this dark future tale of Toonaria and exploring it with you!
STATUS: We are in the middle of refining and playtesting. More to come!

ADVENTURES IN TOONARIA:
Adventures in Toonaria focuses on a smaller sky region, set in a town and the characters explore the surrounding regions, uncover secrets, learn more about their potential and more. It will come as a boxed set with maps and loads of detail about the main species — with only 3 humans in the known universe, we focus on the little monster species, and throw them into all sorts of dangerous situations. You'll help with that as you explore the sky realm!
Later, we'll introduce more and more of Toonaria with a huge expansion called Little Epics! We are jumping up and down with excitement to share more and more of this wonderful, post-apocalyptic, dystopian realm with you — everything from the adorable little monsters to the big kaiju and other wonders of the sky islands.
Status: Almost ready for playtesting, but bottlenecked for a time behind Darkest Hour and Midnight Guardians. We're chomping at the bit and hope to form a team, but for now it's just Bob Whitely. The more interest folks show in our offerings, starting with our novels and of course our upcoming Midnight Guardians Board Game (Wow, you are missing something if you haven't checked that out yet!) well our release schedule is in your hands, really. As you show interest in our offerings like Midnight Guardians, we'll be able to get these other goodies out the door sooner! Stand with us and let's kick the heat up a notch or two!
Note: These logos are NOT FINAL. As with the Little Epics expansion, below, they are under development, so there will be changes/updates...
LITTLE EPICS EXPANSION: This is our big expansion to Adventures in Toonaria. We will release small expansion books for Adventures in Toonaria as time rolls on and more folks find and fall in love with the Toonaria universe that we've been living with for decades. We figured it was past time we take a stand and start publishing some of these goodies.
Status: There are some projects ahead of Little Epics, which adds a Storyteller role to the Adventures in Toonaria Roleplaying Game, as well as tons of other content, so it's deeper in the pipeline, but our goal is to release content in smaller books, rather than make you wait even longer. This way, you'll be able to dive in a lot sooner. More on this battle plan down the road!
​

As for Toonaria, which will be featured in Adventures in Toonaria and expanded upon in Little Epic's, all of our board games, and upcoming source books:
• Toonaria is a false utopia shepherded by godlike AI overseers and other powerful beings
• Matrix-level mysteries and cover ups ensure the populous has no idea what's really been going on
• Weekly trips to the doctor make everything "right as rain". Sad, diversive thoughts and secrets are quickly forgotten
• The war-torn realm’s mysterious past has been shielded by memory alteration and psychoses like Pink Syndrome
• A magical “GodStorm” has warped reality, opening dimensional rifts, and super-sizing fruit, bugs and more
