Dragon Reactor is a mythopoetic mech tragedy game about conflict on a grand scale. It’s about warring governments, rising rebellions, slowly-waking god-machines, and the effects forever-wars have on those involved. It’s about the ever-turning wheel of time, and how we’re always racing against it. It’s about wanting to do the right thing, but having to pull the trigger instead.

Players take on the role of pilots who have fallen into possession of the most powerful war machines in the world.

This is an incomplete sampling of the final text of the game, which will be crowdfunding for a full print run & final release starting on August 1st, 2025.

This demo also serves as a quick-start adventure for the full game! The characters you play here can easily be brought over to the final version and used in a continuing adventure.

If you like what you see here, and want to help support the continued work of queer independent creators, follow our BackerKit page to get notified when the campaign launches!

Print copies available on dinoberrypress.com!

You can order a copy of the Dragon Reactor demo for $5, and all orders made between June 1st and August 29th over $20 will receive a copy for free!

You can find it here.

  • 4 pre-built Dragon Pilots ready to take to the skies, complete with powerful Rivals
  • A pre-built strangepunk setting including unique Factions and 3 example Conflicts
  • All the rules for running Conflict and experiencing its Aftermath

Once the crowdfunding campaign funds, we’ll be able to work on finishing the game for digital & print release. The full version will take everything you like about this demo and dial it up, giving you the power to customize your strange world and war down to the last detail. Get excited for: 

  • In-depth tools for creating your own complex and detailed settings, Factions, and conflicts
  • Evocative Character, Dragon, and Rival creation.
  • Thematic and resonant post-conflict mechanics and character advancement
  • Gorgeous art and layout from some of the best in the business
