Dragon Dowsers has garnered some amazing support since we announced the project just a month ago!
So far the community surrounding Daggerheart has been incredibly encouraging of our first steps designing for Darrington’s RPG.

Here’s an early mockup of the Dragon Dowsers GM Screen. We want something really beautiful at the table when unfolded.
The panels feature twin dragons of Hope & Fear surrounding a large crystal in the centre.

The Ancestries chapter of the Daggerheart core rules are my favourite visual design with their mix of full-colour renders and conceptual B&W sketches. Looking ahead, I think this will become a common style for many ttrpgs and we’re certainly going to be adopting it for Dragon Dowsers in the summer.

Curiously, some of Hayao Miyazaki’s early concepts for Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind featured dragons! In some ways Dragon Dowsers is taking those abandoned ideas and merging them with the solarpunk themes and setting of the classic Studio Ghibli film.

Dragon Dowsers has a phenomenon called Spore Storms, which are enormous, poisonous tornadoes🌪️
They’ll appear when the GM spends Fear (Daggerheart mechanic) and be placed on a countdown to measure their direction and destruction.
