Sauroctonos is an urban fantasy dragon slaying TTRPG. It's a single-player journaling adventure in which you tattoo the exploits of your newfound quest, namely to kill your draconic overlords.
History Lesson
Dragons have always accumulated wealth, land and gold. It was cute and folksy back then, making for good stories and great villains. But time passed, centuries, millennia... and they carried on. Greedily growing their pile, hiring, enslaving, waging war, conquering, colonizing, setting up factories. Taking full advantage of the modern era and the industrial revolution, by being near-immortal or inheriting literal mountains of gold. We live off their scraps, building their palaces as we struggle to keep going... Something must be done. Something from a bygone era. Something glorious. Something epic. Something that would make a good story, with great villains.
Let see if blood trickle down better than wealth.
Let’s kill some dragons!
