Project Update: $150,000! 10 More Maps & a Rules Clarification! 🐉
WOW! Dragon Kings has officially passed $150,000 on BackerKit!
What an incredible start to the campaign! Thank you so much for joining in!
And to celebrate, we've got something special for you!
In our previous update, we mentioned that we wouldn't add additional written content to the books through stretch goals, and that remains our plan. The writing is complete, and we're committed to keeping production moving without introducing unnecessary delays.
Let's Clear Up 2E and DCC
We've also noticed some questions about the different rules systems being discussed, particularly 2E and Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC).
We want to make sure everyone knows exactly what's included in this campaign and what's being offered separately.
Our current campaign features the new 5.5E-compatible edition of Dragon Kings, with conversion rules for 2E included.
You do not need to back a separate campaign to receive the 2E conversion rules.
What About Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC)?
We've also seen a lot of excitement surrounding a DCC-compatible version of Dragon Kings, and we're happy to share more about that!
Dragon Kings for Dungeon Crawl Classics is a separate project from designer John Watson, published by Rugby-Melee Games.
John has adapted Timothy Brown's world of Khitus for Dungeon Crawl Classics, bringing the setting to DCC's distinctive old-school rules system.
Timothy has been enthusiastic about the adaptation:
"John's DCC version is exceptional, a spot-on set of classic mechanics that really bring Dragon Kings to life for the experienced gamer. I'm proud to have it as part of the project!"
- Timothy Brown
So, Which Campaign Should You Back?
Here's the quick breakdown:
🐉 This Dragon Kings Campaign - Strange Owl Games
- 5.5E-compatible Dragon Kings
- 2E conversion rules included for all backers
- The books, adventures, and other rewards offered through our current campaign
- An expanded Map Book with 10 additional maps!
🎲 Dragon Kings for Dungeon Crawl Classics - Rugby-Melee Games
- A separate DCC-compatible adaptation by John Watson
- Its own core book, adventures, and campaign rewards
- Launches October 20 on BackerKit
- Requires a separate pledge if you'd like the DCC version
Backing this campaign does not automatically include the DCC version.
We apologize if our earlier messaging caused any confusion. We know choosing the right rules system matters, and we want everyone to have accurate information before deciding what to pledge.
We're excited that Khitus will have another way to reach the tabletop, and we appreciate John Watson and Rugby-Melee Games for bringing Dragon Kings to the DCC community.
Thank You for $150,000!
We're only a few days into the campaign, and we've already reached an incredible milestone.
Thank you for supporting this project and helping us bring Timothy Brown's world back to the table. We're looking forward to sharing more with you as the campaign continues.
See you in Khitus! 🐉
