The First Drakerys Elf Steps Out of the Dark
April 29, 2014 by dracs
Elves are a staple of fantasy gaming and Don't Panic Games will be bringing their own take on the pointy eared people to Drakerys.
It seems that the elves of Drakerys are far more alien in appearance than those we have seen in other fantasy games, a design choice that should help them to stand out a bit.
The fact that the elf is wearing winter clothing, alongside the tag line stating you should fear the dark, makes me think that these aren't exactly the "help dwarfs on their quest" kind of elves. Maybe they will be more in keeping with their Nordic mythological origins.
Has Drakerys caught your interest at all?

It hadn’t until I noticed Nicolas Raoult was the game designer. May well check it out now.
“help dwarfs on their quest”
=
“lock dwarfs on quest in dungeon”
remember Elrond?
I won their elemental competition on Facebook, and got the fire elemental in the post, so I will try and remember to take pictures of it tomorrow.
This reminds me of the Discworld elves
“Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.”
― Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
Yes, I am looking forward to the Kickstarter. The sculpts are very good and I especially like the look of the elementals 🙂
looks great.
Great looking art and based on their website, it looks to be a great game. Plus, most of their crew are former Confrontation pros. I will be backing!
Lovely artwork I tip my hat.
