About Us
Daggerwood Games started with two Australian designers working separately but chasing the same goals.
We weren’t part of the same gaming group, or even in the same city, but we were good friends and both deep in the world of tabletop (especially Dungeons & Dragons) creating 3rd party content, refining ideas, and really just trying to help GMs make game nights run better.
We kept running into the same problem: too many systems and rule sets were slow, bloated, or got in the way of great storytelling.
So, we teamed up!
From D&D Roots to Our Own System
Daggerwood began by creating content built around tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, focused on making sessions easier to run and more engaging to play.
That foundation led us to build something of our own.
We created the Story Road Engine! A system designed to be fast, cinematic, flexible, and built for real tables. Using Story Road as the engine, we wrote our first game, Road Rage, launching soon on Kickstarter.
Australian-Made Tabletop RPGs & Tools
We design tabletop RPG content, systems, and card-driven experiences that help you:
- Start faster
- Run smoother sessions
- Focus on story, not rules
- Create moments you and your friends actually remember
Everything we make is tested where it matters: at the table.
Built for Better Game Nights
Whether you're running D&D or exploring something new, our goal is simple: remove the friction and make tabletop gaming easier, faster, and more fun.
No bloat. No barriers. Just great tabletop experiences.
