Core Rules

Drakonym is a cinematic fantasy TTRPG about heroes who bond with living dragons

 

You play in Akeroth, a world of light and shadow where every roll weighs hope against consequence. Build dice pools from six core Attributes and roll the d12 Shadow Die to reveal twists and costs as the story unfolds. Wounds escalate through clear tracks instead of hit points, so every blow matters.

 

Your dragon is your reflection and your partner

 

Choose from the eight Dragon Families and grow your bond from Hatchling to Mythic. Dragons are companions of spirit and story, not pets, and their traits evolve with your choices and trust.
