Precious Things

Precious Things is a one-page RPG about tiny dragons building cozy hoards.

Your ancestors were colossal dragons with mountains of gold and earth-shaking magic. You are their proud descendants, building a hoard of your own full of magical power. It’s not easy, since you’re under two feet long.

A game for 2–5 players and one GM that takes about an hour and a half to play. Build your tiny dragon and set off on a big adventure!

If you were a dragon, what would you hoard?

Self-expression is limitless in a game where any household item can become magical. Choose what your dragon hoards, and describe the magic in your favorite precious thing. (It's also a great question to ask to get to know people!)

Prints as a tiny book

If you plan to play this game digitally, use the "Precious Things Singles" PDF file to show one page at a time. 

If you're playing in person, you can print the game at home and make your own little book! Just choose the A4 or Letter-sized PDF file to match your printer paper and follow the instructions in the .rtf file. One cut and a few folds will get you a tiny, tactile book showing you how to play the game one step at a time.

Precious Things will become a full-length RPG sourcebook in 2024. Wet Ink Games will bring this urban fantasy world to life with the +One system.

Actual Play

Dan, his wife Christina, and their daughter Rachael played Precious Things on their podcast Almost Bedtime Theater. You can learn how the game works and have a hilarious heist adventure with Rumble and Loop the library dragons!

Precious Things is great for young players since it encourages creativity, exploration, and teamwork! Steph at TTRPG Kids invented a taco dragon with their kiddo. Here's what they had to say about the game:

We had a fun time exploring the house with our dragons and collecting little trinkets and goodies for our hoards, and it was easy to understand too. Whether you’re looking for a game for friends who want a cozy adventure, are introducing new players to TTRPGs, or have young ones who want to join in on a game, it’s a great system that lends to a lot of collaboration and creativity for everyone involved!
