In the Blink of a Dragon's Eye is a heartwarming short story and solo minigame about a human and a dragon that become unlikely brothers in order to survive in their dangerous new reality. The story takes place in the Harbor of Blight universe, a new adventure that blends storytelling, visual art, roleplaying and tabletop gaming in a unique, elementally charged world. In the Blink of a Dragon's Eye is a prequel to the upcoming game, Harbor of Blight, and takes place approximately 5,000 years before the game's events. This is a tale of humans being brought unknowingly to the small, exotic planet of Blight and of how they cope with this dangerous new world. One human in particular, Nibaa, befriends and becomes brothers with one of the few remaining non-feral dragons left in the world, Niijii. Each of the five chapters of the story has a solo minigame that lets you relive and play through the action from that chapter. Each minigame is one page with everything you need to play right on it. Each of the 5 minigames requires 2 d6 (6-sided dice) and a dry erase marker. The gameplay includes various aspects such as exploring a minimap, gathering and using items, fighting or escaping from a boss, and an Achievement for added difficulty and replayability! -description from the publisher
