We've updated the renders for DAWN on lionwingpublishing.com!

These new ones should be a bit more accurate to how it'll look when it gets to you.

Wait I need to learn the new set we should queue up.

Call it research, call it taking a break while print gets organized behind the scenes, I've been watching a lot of movies recently. Does anyone have any recommendations for noir or neo-noir films for me to watch?

DAWN's back in the top 40 most popular games on itch, and it's only a few spots off top 20 best seller! I didn't think the print would get me such a bump in digital sales too, but I appreciate it!

This game is a ton of fun so def check it out if your TTRPG group is looking to try something new. We ran a silly jojo-like stand game using it.

Dawn is very very good and Dawn + LionWing is a wild combo.

If you like big box full featured games where you build an OC with lots of powers, this should be priority one on your radar!

Out of curiosity what are some of your favorite fantasy RPGs inspired by tropes from Anime and Manga? This is definitely an invitation for designers to plug their own work.

Oh thank you! Yeah it's super anime / manga inspired.

Fun fact for Canadian TTRPG creators: you don't need to pay $100 to get an ISBN like folks in the US.

Library and Archives Canada allows you to get free ISBNs for your projects. Takes around 4-6 weeks for your account to be created but then you are good to go.
