What is Doggo or Dragon?
Doggo or Dragon is dog training re-imagined. In fact, forget training. We are going questing.
There’s a whole world out there to explore!
In Doggo or Dragon, you play real-life relationship-powered games (RPGs) in a story-driven fantasy context.
It’s like playing a role-playing game (RPG) WITH your dog, except it’s real life…but with dragons.
Your Doggo Mentor (or DM for short) guides you through a fantastic adventure that will grow your doggo’s unique skills and abilities and fuse you two into an unbeatable party of epic heroes.
You, the hooman, will use your creativity and imagination as much as your observational skills, while your doggo companion gets to explore, puzzle solve and show off their special abilities.
Together, your party will learn spells that help you get through the difficult battles in life that are part of traveling the realms with a canine companion in your party. (Yes, you get to cast Fireball.)
You will get to know your doggo’s character, find out about their ancient archetype and special skills, and, of course, get to make a really pretty character sheet with all their stats to show off your unique, amazing doggo.
In Doggo or Dragon you are leading your party to solve puzzles, get through difficult terrain and beat the baddies, whether they’re some pesky environmental charm your doggo is vulnerable to or an evil shapeshifter disguised as a jogger.
Both you and your dog get to take initiative and influence each other’s next move. How your party progresses through the levels is determined by how you manage your companion’s (behavioral) health points and mana.
You need to keep watch for those sneaky Status Affects [sic] that can buff or debuff your doggo.
Brew mana boosting potions, wield powerful weppos, discover how to use enchanted artifacts and watch your spellbook grow thicker as you become proficient in the Ancient Laws.
Face challenges and solve puzzles together to create relationship memories that will last a life-time.
Inspired by the turn-based system you might know from your favorite RPGs, the Doggo or Dragon approach celebrates agency, communication and, most of all, the joy of having a doggo in your party.
This epic journey that began when myth and wonder still filled our world continues into our modern day.
Monsters and dragons may have become invisible to us. But what we have forgotten, our doggos remember. Doggos are old magic.
So grab your most magical hoodie and summon your familiar.
Adventure awaits!
