“Dragon Scales is a rune based game of chance for use with any Role Playing Game System. The rules are straightforward and designed to favor the adventurer, inspiring excitement and fun. The game is played with six handmade runes that are cast across your favorite tavern table. Place your wager then the runes are cast and re-cast until one remains face up or all blank. If all are blank, it's a draw. If one remains face up then you will consult a results table in the printed rules. The game comes with a printed color graphic quick reference card and the two page black and white printed rules that include examples of play and a background of Dragon Scales. This is a complete game that will have detailed rules included with the rune sets. It entails placing a wager, casting and re-casting the runes down to one remaining, and consulting a results table. I am offering rune sets of wood, iron, and brass. Each set comes with a cloth drawstring bag and a copy of the rules. My name is David Savedge and I am a blacksmith and artist. I started smithing and metal work as a child and trained with a journeyman blacksmith at Jamestown Settlement and a master brass founder at Colonial Williamsburg [in Virginia]. I have finally built a basic shop on my farm, Ravenstead. It's a simple shop reminiscent of the 17th century shop I worked in at Jamestown.”​
