A Solstice Gift: Dragon Warriors FAQ
It’s been a long time coming — 25 years or so — but Dragon Warriors finally has an FAQ, answering all those niggling questions and philosophical paradoxes, like “What happens when one character tries to use Intangibility to walk through another character’s impregnable Bastion?” Download the FAQ document here: Dragon Warriors FAQ Huge thanks to…

Arting by blog post
Here at the SKG blog we shouldn’t bore you by only trying to sell you our gamebooks, marvellous as they are. We can bore you by talking waffle too. So I just starting the very first 3 pieces of work for the forthcoming players book for Dragon Warriors, which is auspicious. I don’t really know…

Dragon Warriors back on sale!
The pdf of the core rulebook is now available from DriveThruRPG! This is a revised version of the Magnum Opus Press edition, incorporating all the errata. Next, we’ll be rereleasing the other Magnum Opus books. Part of the delay with the core rulebook was getting all the graphics, fonts and other design elements in one…

Almost there…
Just a quick one to keep everyone informed. Progress is progressing, and it shouldn’t be long now before those DW books are back on sale. We have a working pdf version, we’re just giving it another run through for errata and tightening up here and there to make sure it’s all appropriate for SKG release.…

The clock ticks…
It’s a little before midnight, here at Serpent King Games HQ. Not that there is a Serpent King Games HQ; it’s the 21st century, and we’re distributed, not like groceries, like algorithms running in parallel on several computers. So, at Gar’s home in Ireland, and Jon’s in Scotland, and mine in Wales, the three of…

Just a quickie, as we’re all ridiculously busy. Not, I have to admit, with Dragon Warriors, for once. We’re doing our best to get the Player’s Book finished, but right now it’s taking a back seat to all three of us finishing up various pieces of freelance work. My portion of said freelance work should…

Dragon Warriors and me, Part II: Beyond the 1980s
It’s the early to mid 90s. We’re living in The Future already (how did that happen?); most of the 1970s-era SF paperbacks I grew up reading were set around this point. I’ve left school and been through university. Most of my university and immediately post-university gaming was Cyberpunk 2013 and Cyberpunk 2020; we would run…

Confessions of a Third Man
I never played Dragon Warriors as a kid. I missed the whole phenomenon. My gaming history starts with a game of Middle Earth Role Playing in 1989, and zigzags through D&D and Call of Cthulhu from then on. I never even heard of Dragon Warriors until James Wallis brought it back through Magnum Opus. I’m…

Who’s laughing now?
Hello one and all. Jon Hodgson here. I’ll be your art director for this crazy flight to Ellesland. Funnily enough, my roleplaying games “career” such as it was as a teenager runs the other way to Ian’s, who graduated from D&D to DW. I went the other way. My very first proper roleplaying game after…

Dragon Warriors and Me, Part I: 1985
So, what am I doing, getting together with Gar and Jon to set up a new publishing house to publish… Dragon Warriors? Of all things? Shouldn’t I be, you know, writing for WotC by now, or at least printing Pathfinder-compatible homebrew material? Why take on the licence for a game that was out of print…
