The Dragon and the Damsel

A one-page RPG made for the Game Dunk 2020 jam. The theme was "THE UNEXPECTED ALLIANCE", which in this case takes the form of a might Dragon and distressed Damsel teaming up to prevent the Damsel's family from kidnapping her from her refuge in the Dragon's lair and taking her home.

One of the bonus prompts was "Polyhedral Reclamation". In order to stop the "heroic" knights the Damsel's family has sent you're going to be throwing the Dragon's treasure at them, in the form of your own dice hoard. All sizes of dice, from the humble d4 to the huge d30, can be used to play. You don't need any specific dice though, just a few different sizes will make things work.

The other bonus prompt I tackled is "Asymmetric Play". The two roles in this small duet are very different: the Damsel is picking which dice to roll and treasures to toss, while the Dragon responds to each throw with lamentations over the loss to their hoard. I recommend playing both roles over the course of a game.

While some of the questions you'll use to describe your character may get a bit dramatic, this is a comedy game first and foremost. Revel in the absurdity of the Damsel throwing important item after important item away, while the Dragon could simply eat the climber (if only they weren't on a diet).
