Where would you adventure as a tiny dragon?


“Get three of these things from the place you’re playing. This is your hoard.”

This game’s best trick is setting its fiction in a real-world location its players know well. But tiny dragons in liminal spaces could be an undiscovered part of any other setting, past, present, or future.

So where would you like to play? 

You might know Precious Things is being developed into a full-length source book by Wet Ink Games, expected to come to Kickstarter later this year. One part of that sourcebook is additional tools for telling the stories you’ll enjoy most: new settings and threats fit for fantasy, regency, noir, and science fiction stories. However, like the dragons themselves, that chapter can’t be too long.

I need your help to choose which two or three settings should make it into the book! 

Leave a comment with which place you’d most like to adventure through as a tiny dragon.

Medieval fantasy

The heroes of Castle Keep are too focused on the dragons laired in the mountains to notice the ones burrowed into their walls.

For fans of Dungeons & Dragons, Mistborn, and Lord of the Rings.

Regency fiction: The Bennet Family Library

Sealed letters, aspirations beyond one’s station, and clandestine offers of marriage: nothing in the Bennet house goes unnoticed by its most unnoticed residents.

For fans of Pride & Prejudice, Emma, and Bridgerton.

The Age of Sail: The HMS Bounty

Whether the cap’n knows it or nay, this ship has the best ratters, riggers, and look outs on the seven seas: you.

For fans of Treasure Island, Disney’s Atlantis, and A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan.

Western

You live at the OK Saloon. You are aware things are not always okay.

For fans of High Noon, John Wayne, and Tombstone.

Noir: The PI's Office

He may be a down-on-his-luck, fast-talking ne’er-do-well of a private eye, but by the gum on his shoes, he’s your private eye. Any case he takes in the office you share might as well be your case too.

For fans of The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca.

Science Fiction: The Smuggler's Ship

She may not look like much, but we love this rusty old starship. She’s quick, tough, reliable, and most importantly, the closest thing this spinning universe has to home.

For fans of Cowboy Bebop, Firefly, and Star Wars: A New Hope.


The two or three most popular answers will get written into the full book! Feel free to suggest a setting I haven't thought of as well. 

Thanks so much for your help and for playing this beautiful little game!

I’d never considered regency fiction as a place for dragons, but it sounds perfect! Noir and western are my second and third choices.

Tooth and Claw, Jo Walton?

Sci-fi is my top pick, followed by medieval fantasy and regency fiction!
