Have you been searching for a fantasy RPG where dragons are more than stat blocks? Where emotional bonds matter as much as combat prowess? It's finally here!
Drakonym is an original tabletop roleplaying game featuring a dragon bond system, easy to pick up dice mechanics, and intuitive character customization that creates stories you'll remember for a lifetime.
Play your way
No matter if you're in a party, going on a solo adventure or want to go at it as a group with no Herald, Drakonym is built to allow for all modes of play. The Solo Rulebook is also completely standalone so no need to purchase multiple books to enjoy the game!
Amazing Dragon Companions
Forge a unique bond with your dragon that evolves beyond mere mechanics. Choose from eight distinct Dragon Families, each with their own temperament and abilities.
Your dragon isn't just a mount or a tool, it's a character with its own emotional journey that grows alongside yours, shaped by your choices and adventures together.
The Runebinderā¢ System
The Drakonym Core Rulebook features the Runebinderā¢ System:
An easy to pick up d6 Dice pool system. No Skills! Take two attributes and roll d6s equal to their values to make checks. Track successes by looking for 5s & 6s.
The d12 Shadow Die lets you push your luck at a narrative cost.
Simple wound tracking (Light ā Heavy ā Deadly) replaces cumbersome hit points that don't narratively make sense in most cases.
No skills to allow creative use of your character's core abilities.
Characters evolve through meaningful choices, not just combat experience.
Adaphaen, Gnawborn, Elf & Drakari
Unique Characters
Choose from 12 Kin species (like the Devlish Infernai, Deathblessed Runebark or the Aerial Featherfolk), in addition to 4 character Classes (The Acolyte, The Fighter, The Mage, and The Veil) each with unique Abilities & 20 Paths that can further define your character with no limitations on choice.
Play as a Gnawborn Ghost creating a puppet to slink through battle, a Dogfolk Wizard exploring new spell combinations, or an Adaphaen Gunslinger choosing their next bounty!
Infernai, Burrower, Featherfolk & Runebark
Rules That Support Creativity
