Bonkyrs is a high fantasy world with all of the usual fantasy fixins, like elves, goblins, wizards, spellcraft and whatever else you can imagine. Accompanying these common fantasy tropes, is an infusion 1990s (ish) retro computing technology. In Bonkyrs, you can crawl a dungeon in your favorite video game, or provided they are in season, risk your own hide crawling a real dungeon for real treasure.

While tech like PCs, video games and other electronics do exist, their internal bits are generally more magical than mechanical. There is no giant factory smashing 7 nanometer transistors onto silicon chips somewhere. Instead, if you want a new viz card for your PC, you are going to be talking to the local techsmith. Or perhaps you might hire a wizard to use a bit of magic to squeeze a little more performance out of your existing hardware.

In Bonkyrs, there are no officially recognized kingdoms with solid borders to draw on a map. Rather, the settled areas are mostly occupied by a series of city states under the control of various competing oligarchs. You can often tell those that belong to the “upper crust” of Bonkyrs’ society by how they pronounce the word itself. The official pronunciation being “Bahn-keers”, is only ever used by the wealthy, or those aspiring to be so. The average Bonkyrs citizen would simply say “bonkers”, with the phrase “The world is Bonkyrs” being a common colloquialism used to describe their struggles and misfortune.

The world of Bonkyrs is being brought to life through comics, short stories, stop motion films and whatever else we think sounds fun. We hope you enjoy our world of swords, sorcery and cathode ray tubes.
