🔥 You £300k SMASHED & The Train’s Still Rolling!
9 months ago – Fri, Aug 29, 2025 at 02:49:19 AM

Greetings Dragon Riders, 

WOW! You’ve blown us away! 🤯 You managed to keep Ash up past his bedtime for a full 6 hours! 🥳🎉

We’ve flown past the £300k stretch goal, unlocking a full series of game rules videos hosted by the incredible Jane Douglas! 🎉


But the backer train hasn’t stopped - it’s still running full steam ahead! That means if you’ve had your eye on The Radiant Grimoire, you can still grab it! 👀


✨ New Stretch Goal: Skybound Pursuit




If the Backer Train reaches 1,000 passengers, you’ll unlock a brand new Drakonym adventure - Skybound Pursuit!

Take flight in a high-octane chase across the skies! In this brand new PDF adventure, your level 2 heroes must race against the clouds as a stolen airship tears across the horizon. Learn how to run dragon-riding encounters in Drakonym while soaring through danger.



✨ New Add-On: Throne of Luster




We heard you loud and clear during the livestream - you wanted Throne of Luster as an add-on. So we’ve added it! This prequel to Drakonym lets you dive deep into the lore of Akeroth and uncover the roots of the world you’re about to explore.

Thank you all so much for all of your support. You’ve made this campaign something truly unforgettable - let’s keep this train rolling!

Ride the winds,

⏲ Don't Miss Out on the Radiant Grimoire.

Greetings, Dragon Riders!

We're still in overtime, and that means you can still pick up the fantastic Radiant Grimoire: an overtime-only add-on filled with unique magical items and exclusive spells from the world of Drakonym. ✨



✨ Stretch Goals!

We've already smashed through five stretch goals for the Radiant Grimoire, which means the book will be even more packed with new spells and magic items, including a sneak peek of spells that bridge two different Aspects.

Can you help us beat our final goal?

🎉Happy Drakonym Day!
9 months ago – Thu, Aug 28, 2025 at 04:11:48 AM

Greetings, Dragon Riders!

After weeks of flying together, unlocking stretch goals, and building the world of Drakonym as a community, today is the FINAL DAY of the campaign!

Thank you for everything you’ve done. Every pledge, every share, every word of excitement has brought us here. Together we’ve forged something truly unforgettable 💜
If you’ve been waiting to pledge, now is the time before the clock runs out.


✨ Are You Ready to Take Flight on Dragonback?

At the heart of Drakonym are the dragons themselves - living, breathing companions whose growth and spirit are bound to yours. These aren’t just mounts or beasts; they are partners in every sense, shaping the story you tell together.

CHOOSE YOUR DRAGON FAMILY


Every dragon belongs to a Family - elemental lineages that define their nature. A Storm dragon may crackle with lightning, a Pyre dragon burns with raw flame, and a Moon dragon watches with quiet power. Each Family carries unique gifts, traits, and a presence that will forever shape your journey.



RAISE THEM FROM EGG TO ELDER



You don’t start with a mighty beast - you begin with a fragile Egg or Hatchling. From those first moments of care to their growth into a Juvenile, Mature, and finally an Elder dragon, every stage is earned through the choices you make together. No two dragons grow the same way, because no two Riders walk the same path.



RIDE A DRAGON BORN OF LORE



All dragons are children of the Lightmother Valethar (creation, spirit) and the Nightfather Zurteus (destruction, shadow). They carry within them both radiance and ruin, beloved yet feared. Bound by the Great Vow - “Never again shall dragonkind bring fire to mortal war” - every battle carries consequence, testing the trust between Rider and dragon.


FORGE YOUR BOND


The bond between Rider and dragon is the heart of the game. Every act of trust, every betrayal, every choice leaves a mark. Deepen your bond, and your dragon evolves, becoming more powerful and more connected to you. Falter, and discord grows - until you find a way to reconnect. 

Your dragon is more than mechanics. It is a story, a mirror, and a partner waiting to take flight by your side.


✨ Celebrate With Us at the Wrap Party!


Join us live as we count down the final moments of the Drakonym campaign! 🎉 

Expect games, giveaways, behind-the-scenes surprises, and more. This is your last chance to celebrate with us live in chat. 🥳🎉

During the stream, we will release The Radiant Grimoire - an overtime-only add-on filled with unique magical items and exclusive spells from the world of Drakonym.


How Overtime Works: When the timer hits zero, every new pledge adds another 10 minutes to the clock. When the train stops, the campaign closes. Do not miss your chance to hop aboard and keep the Backer Train rolling. 🔥


The clock is ticking. Drakonym’s first flight is ending. This is your final opportunity to secure your rewards and join the ranks of Dragon Riders across the world.
See you in the sky,
The Crossed Paths Team ⚔️

🐉 24 Hours to Go + One Final Surprise Inside!
9 months ago – Wed, Aug 27, 2025 at 07:00:52 AM

Greetings, Dragon Riders!

We’re in the final countdown with just over 24 hours left in the campaign. Thank you so much for flying with us this far. Your support has carried Drakonym to incredible heights, and now we can’t wait to celebrate together at our Wrap party live stream tomorrow! 


Join us live as we celebrate and count down the final hours of the Drakonym campaign! 🎉 Expect games, giveaways, behind-the-scenes surprises, and more! We’d love to see you in chat - it’s your last chance to celebrate with us live!


During the wrap party, we’ll be releasing our overtime-only add-on: The Radiant Grimoire, a magic item and spell supplement filled with unique in-world treasures and exclusive spells from mystical mages. A perfect addition to any Drakonym playthrough!


Once the campaign timer hits zero, Overtime begins. Each new pledge keeps the Backer Train rolling in 10-minute bursts. When the train stops, the campaign closes - so don’t forget to tune in, hop aboard, and keep the train running!


✨ Physical Character Deck Unlocked!

Every physical pledge level (or any pledge that includes at least one physical copy of the three core rulebooks as an add-on) will now also receive a full set of Character Cards


These cards bring your heroes to life at the table - quick reference, beautifully designed, and ready for play.

👉 Want to keep them safe? Pair them with the Card Binder add-on - the perfect way to organise and protect your character collection.



✨ Community Bonus: Solo Rules Character Cards!


To celebrate everything we’ve achieved together, we’ve decided to go one step further. Alongside the Character Card deck, we’ll also be creating a set of Solo Rules cards - designed to support journaling and solo play - and adding them to your rewards completely free of charge.

  • Backers with at least one physical rulebook in their pledge will receive printed cards.
  • Digital backers will receive printable digital versions

This bonus is our way of saying thank you. You made this happen - and we can’t wait to see the stories you’ll tell with them. If you don’t have the Solo Rules book yet, now’s the perfect time to add it to your pledge and unlock everything these cards can do.

👉 Add The Solo Rulebook To Your Rewards



For those with a digital-only pledge or who want extra sets, the decks are also available as an add-on!

✨ Surprise Stretch Goal at £300k!

We’re not done yet… because if we reach £300,000 before the campaign ends, you’ll unlock something truly special

If we hit £300k, you’ll unlock a Gameplay Guide Video Series hosted by the amazing Jane Douglas (Outside Xbox, Oxventure & more).

Jane has introduced thousands of players to tabletop roleplaying with her warmth, wit, and storytelling expertise - and now she’ll be your guide through Drakonym.

This series will be your complete walkthrough - from character creation to dragon bonding to combat - making it easier than ever to learn the game and teach your players.



We’re down to the last day. Every pledge, every upgrade, every add-on counts - not just for you, but for the entire community as we ride this final backer train together.
