Hearth Dragons
Hearth & Wyrm
With powerful magic, someone has created you, a dragon. Not a true dragon, no, but one crafted with care and love and given a purpose: to protect your home. With a special ability you were crafted with and a dragon's flame within, many adventures await you and your fellow hearth dragons as you strive to be the best caretakers one can be. And you don't even need to leave the house!
Hearth Dragons is a Lasers & Feelings hack inspired by The Last Dragon Chronicles by author Chris d'Lacey and the Pennykettle Dragons who made the stories as magical as they were. With friends and a game master, you'll make your own clay, paper, or other kind of handcrafted dragon and work together to solve problems and tell stories using your own imagination or the random adventure generation table within.
To begin playing, all you need is a few six-sided dice, some paper, a love of dragons, and a crafter's heart! Although reading of The Last Dragon Chronicles isn't required, it's worth it if you choose to do so. If you wish to support my work, it's greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoy, hrr!

How many players do you recommend for your game? Is there also a GM?
I tend to like to run it with 3 - 4 players, that way everyone gets their chance to do stuff. Though I can certainly see it with 2 players. It does also require a GM.
Okay! Thank you! ^-^
hrrring!
As a fan of the Last Dragon Chronicles since childhood, I am absolutely stoked to play this game!! <3
I ran this as a one-on-one game for a friend and it was such a delight! The premise is simple with plenty of room to tweak for personal preference, but with enough structure that I did zero advanced planning and had a great time. We ended up doing a single story over 3 sessions of about 3 hours each, but you could easily do shorter or longer.
My group has played this twice now and it's the perfect thing for a quick game that never fails to leave everyone feeling warm and fuzzy! I've also used it to introduce new players to the idea of ttrpgs and it's a great hit with both new and experienced players. Can never say enough good things about this game, I'm so happy I know about it!
I'm happy it could help folks get into TTRPGs! That was certainly my hope that'd it'd help in that regard, so I'm glad it is.
I just ran this game with my long time dnd group for a change of pace, and we adored it! Everyone had so much fun and got so attached to their dragons. I cannot recommend this game enough! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Always makes me happy to hear.
Another neat little game from the author. Good stuff to play when you're filling cozy.
