Almost two years after the release of the core game to wide acclaim, the Dragonbane fantasy RPG is getting bigger and better! Explore the winding alleyways of Arkand – City of Waves and Flames, and delve deep into tomes of arcane learnings in the Book of Magic.

We offer not one but two beautifully illustrated and finely crafted expansions for the multiple award-winning Dragonbane RPG. Come join us in making these books a reality and also to help us to fill them with Dragonbane goodness!

Dragonbane

“Dragonbane is now my go-to fantasy TTRPG.” –Pop Geeks Review

“Classic fantasy fun in a modern shell.” –Tabletop Magazine Review

“Of the many TTRPGs played this year, Dragonbane stands out as one of the best.” –ScreenRant

Released in 2023, Dragonbane is a classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure. It is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run.

This is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. We call this playstyle “mirth and mayhem roleplaying” – great for long campaigns, but also perfect for a one-shot.

If you’re new to the world of Dragonbane, this is the perfect place to get started! The boxed core game set – including complete rules and a full campaign – is included in the Demon Bundle and Dragon Bundle, and as a separate add-on in this Kickstarter.

Early Access

A few months after the Kickstarter ends all backers will get early access to Beta PDFs of Arkand – City of Waves and Flames and the Book of Magic, months ahead of the official release.

Arkand – City of Waves and Flames

”Newcomers? Welcome to Arkand – the city of waves and flames! We’ve got everything you could possibly want. Bloody gladiator games with monstrous beasts and late nights of enchanting song? Check. Shady taverns, dark gambling dens, and even darker dungeons? You bet. The world’s finest tailors, greatest blacksmiths, and most talented sorcerers? Absolutely. Buried artifacts from the draconic empire, lost pirate treasures, and newly made fortunes ripe for the taking? Guaranteed! But tread carefully…  Arkand has sharp teeth – and you won’t be alone in your quest!”

From the Citadel of Broken Wings and the Temple of True Fire high atop Dragonrock, to the Witless Unicorn tavern and the Cracked Pearl gambling den deep in the slums of the Dung, the city of Arkand pulses with excitement, conflict, rumors, and the promise of adventure, wealth, power, and glory!

This book features over a dozen adventure sites spread across five districts, along with a number of campaign seeds, and even more adventure sites available to be unlocked as stretch goals in this Kickstarter. The player characters will experience a fierce power struggle in the city’s underworld, take on the role of demon hunters, and uncover secrets about Arkand’s storied past that could change the city forever.

Book of Magic

Summon a swarm of demonic beetles and send them to attack the targets of your choice. Produce booming disharmonies with your voice or fiddle, causing the enemy to squirm in harmful agony. Counterattack those who threaten you in the form of a roaring bear or even a screeching griffon. Or summon an entire troop of skeletal warriors to obey your every command.

More magic, new schools of magic, stronger magic! This is what you’ll find between the covers of the Book of Magic, adding at least five new schools of magic to your Dragonbane game, including harmonism, demonology, necromancy, witchcraft, and illusionism – as well as new spells for the existing schools of general magic, animism, elementalism, and mentalism.

All featured schools of magic come with a wide range of spells, which now come in five ranks. Each school is also described with information about their practitioners, station and reputation in the world, and what kind of spiritus familarius their members typically summon. In addition to that, you will find insights into where and how you can acquire tutoring in the spells of the schools.

The magic schools and their spells are the focus and main attraction of the Book of Magic, and if this Kickstarter campaign goes well, the list of new schools may grow even longer. Other types of content may also be unlocked as stretch goals, for example a chapter about magical items.

The Book of Magic is written by Mattias Johnsson Haake and Mattias Lilja (creators of Symbaroum) with Tomas Härenstam (Dragonbane Core Set) as co-writer and editor, and illustrated by Johan Egerkrans and David Brasgalla.
