Hello dragonbonded! 

We are so happy to reach this milestone, the PDF of the Itza's Guide to Dragonbonding RPG book was fulfilled a few hours ago via DrivethruRPG, HURRAAAY! 

We are so thankful for your feedback, we will make the last changes after your feedback on Discord and then we will start the process of pre-production. Our goal is to have everything approved and in mass production by the end of November. Big Big Big THANKS to A dragon hunting person, Onyxian Herald, Grimm, Overread, Tet and all the Discord community who helped us spot some typos in the book!

Some notes from the Dragon broods by Tom Babbey

Once we have the final PDF (not this one, we will share an updated one by the end of the week), we will proceed to create the "Player's handbook". Also, the adventure "Tyrant of the Cursed Coast" part 1, is being copy-edited at the moment and then will be moved to layout. Once we have the first draft we will share it with you.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: It seems there's a bug on DrivethruRPG showing some of you that there's no file, but it will add the PDF to your cart anyways, please check and if the issue persists, send an email to [email protected] and we will resend the link to redeem your PDF (either Itza's Guide to Dragonbonding or Great Wyrms of Drakha).

How is the timeline looking? As mentioned in the Kickstarter, our fulfillment date is February 2024, our goal is to start mass production by November (after approving and checking all the digital proofs) and it normally takes 3 months + 1 of freight shipping before arriving to their final homes. So you should be receiving your physical rewards by the end of February or March 2024.

We are also working on the final layout for the Game Master Screen and the tarot size cards. All the products are almost ready for you to claim, our goal is to deliver all digitals by the end of October. 

This news is amazing because that means that our writers are ready for the next challenge, and they can't wait to start in the upcoming book "Elyse's Guide to Magic". You may recall her from one of our previous board game Lords of Vaala, a general, dragon queen from Allaria, powerful Dreamshaper caster and bonded to Ferellon Fulgen.

ENNIEs Nominee and Project update!
10 months ago – Tue, Jul 18, 2023 at 09:03:15 AM

Hello Dragonbonded!

I know I have said this before but, I'm so happy to be writing this update, we are making great progress in the project and we can't wait for you to have it in your hands and hear your thoughts. I'm really excited with how this is coming along. 

First of all, our design team is working on the ancestries of Valerna, Classes, Subclasses and Bestiary chapters. We have previously shared some pages from the classes but here you can take a is a first look at the Bestiary. 

Remember that the Bestiary will also have the tarot size cards for each creature we printed some out to test them and think they look fantastic, although we are increasing the font size! 

Physical proofs internally made by Draco team

Also, we received photos of how the cloth map will look and we are very proud of the final result.

We are under the same schedule, at this point the Dragons' section is finishing developmental editing, soon to start copy-editing and the magic chapter just enter developmental editing too. Our goal is to finish all by September and move to mass production. 

ENNIEs Nominee! 

Continuing with great news, our dragons from the Red Moon have been nominated to the Ennies! Here's a bit about them: 

The ENNIE Awards (the “ENNIES”) are an annual fan-based celebration of excellence in tabletop roleplaying gaming. The ENNIES give game designers, writers and artists the recognition they deserve. It is a peoples’ choice award, and the final winners are voted upon online by the gaming public.

Click on the image to vote!

If you want to vote for them and help us win, please click on the image or click here and choose number 1 in the Dragonbond: Dragons of the Red Moon product, and then at the bottom of the page click Vote!

Ranking works by selecting 1 for your first choice, 2 for your second choice, and so on. If you don't like a product, don't vote for it. You cannot hurt a product's chances of winning by ranking it poorly.

The winners will be announced on August 4th, 2023 at 8:00 PM EDT in Gen Con. If you are visiting, come say hi to our booth 1449, we will be premiering a corner booth!
