Hi! I’m an educator looking at trying these to get my reluctant readers to write. Do you have a signup list for community copies? This seems like it’s kid-friendly and interesting. :)
Very fun game! This is a perfect solo-journaling game in that it builds the story SO well from prompting the player in addition to having great mechanics. The artwork for this is also absolutely beautiful.
I definitely recommend, and check out the review on TTRPGkids here:
My daughter and I have a podcast about playing roleplaying games with kids: Almost Bedtime Theater. If you are interested in a review and a short actual play of the Dragon Dowser, you can hear us go through it in Episode 19. Even though the game is designed for solo play, it worked out great as a collaborative story game for the two of us!
I'm still super excited about getting my hands on this game one day! I really do hope that folks come across this and continue to help it reach its target.
No, you get charged immediately. It doesn't work the same way as other crowdfunds that succeed or fail on a goal like Kickstarter. Regardless, we have enough funding to produce the cards we wanted, so the book and deck will be delivered complete.
Hello! I wanted to let you know that the third card down is titled "Queen of Spades" but the symbol is a K -- which is for the King. In addition /she/her pronouns are used in the card text :)
I'm really looking forward to this game! I've bene wanting to try a solo jrpg for a while and this is set to be the one!
Congrats on reaching 50% goal! Would you be showing a gameplay video, that would certainly help some of those who are on the fence! Marching forward to 100%!

Um do we get charged once it reaches 100%?
No, you get charged immediately. It doesn't work the same way as other crowdfunds that succeed or fail on a goal like Kickstarter. Regardless, we have enough funding to produce the cards we wanted, so the book and deck will be delivered complete.
Ah OK thank you! Sorry was puzzled when the charge didn't go through right away.
