Enchanting Tales
The Princess & The Dragon, the newest adventure for Perils & Princesses by Ennie-winning writer Destiny Howell has been funded on Kickstarter!
Once upon a time…
A party of valiant Princesses embarked on a grand adventure. They each received a magical Gift from their Fairy Godmothers to aid them in their quest through the enchanted forest. They bargained with pixies, outwitted goblins, danced in the moonlight at a mossy shrine and even stopped for a picnic with a unicorn along the way.
With bright sword in hand, they faced down the fire-breathing dragon and saved the realm. And the beguiling riddle of a mysterious old woman beckoned them deeper into the hidden wonders of a world of folklore and magic.
Discover the heart and heroism of storybook adventures.

The Princesses
In the world of this game, Princess is a gender-neutral term. Your character can be any gender you choose. You could think of Princess as a type of fairy tale adventurer that relies on emotional resolve and cleverness more than physical strength. Princesses always have a Fairy Godmother who helps them unlock their inner magic...
The Perils
The world of adventuring Princesses is full of twists and turns and the unexpected. Visit haunted forests, ancient libraries, hidden catacombs and monsters' lairs. That rustling in the trees might just be a squirrel. Or it might be something more sinister...
Draw your Sword
The rules are light, but the monsters hit hard. Losing a battle could mean lingering injuries, lasting trauma or nasty curses leaving you weary and woozy.
Fear not!
Princesses have been known to outwit hungry trolls, charm unruly bandits with a beautiful song, or strike deals with the cruelest witches. Plus, arcane relics, curious potions, mystical mushrooms and enchanted weapons are there for those who know where to look
