So tonight, turn off the TV.

Download a copy and steal a handful of d6s from all those boardgames in the closet.

Then come up with a scenario or two to toss at ‘em and just let the magic happen.

Possible scenarios:

  • The Dragon Training Academy has begun new classes. You and your friends are the newest students. How will you fare during training?
  • As a special test at the end of Dragon Training, you and your friends have been tasked with retrieving a special flower from across the sea. What could possibly go wrong?
  • Vikings from a different island, who have not yet learned the joys of having dragons as pets, believe dragons have infested your homeland and attack. You must protect both your pet and your home while trying to convince the other Vikings that the dragons aren’t a threat.
  • A group of dragons begins to raid your homeland. These new dragons are the pets of a rival island. How will you defend your homes against other dragon trainers?
  • A dragon has gone missing. Where has it gone?
  • The Red Death has returned for round 2!
