Dragon Keeper Version 1.6, Compact A5, and Tiny Tome 3

Hi all,

Within this update are newly refined rules, wording and layout for Dragon Keeper. I'm  calling this version 1.6 (jumping up a few numbers) because it's had several small changes across various playtesting sessions, but none major enough that I felt the game needed a new release. Until now! 

Changes made:

• A bit of the wording has been changed for more clarity
• A couple of Items have been rebalanced (Repair Kit now stronger, Potion now weaker)
• A few game rules have been made less restrictive and friendlier toward faster-paced play (Dragon can grow at any time, not just during rests; lots of free Food when foraging)
• Several pieces of the GM tools have been improved based on running the game, and some of the guidance has been condensed
• Importantly, the teamwork rule (Kindred Power) has changed a lot, and it's now called Teamwork. It's gotten a bit weaker (choose a die instead of combining die results) and costs Strain to use; but there's no limit on how much you can use it, and you generate Grow every time it's used (because the Dragon grows by learning to do things alongside the Keeper)
• More maximum Strain, to help offset Strain now being the cost of Teamwork
  

Additionally, the layout of the game has been moved around, the optional rules have been omitted, the font size has been made slightly smaller, and the game now takes up just a single A4 page, one side. All of these changes are because Dragon Keeper is going to be in a physical book! Tiny Tome 3, published by Long Tail Games. The Kickstarter for the print release starts soon, and if you want to support the project you can find it here.

Since the rules changes and format changes have coincided, I currently only have the updated rules in the Tiny Tome format, so that's the only thing available on the itch page. But I'll try to soon release a version that combines the current rules with the double-sided A4 format, with its larger font and optional rules.

Thanks all, hope you enjoy!
