“A dynasty is only ever a list of quiet rooms — and the stories told in them. We write the rooms. You bring the fire.”

— The House of Tiny Dynasty
The House

A small press with an unreasonable map.

Tiny Dynasty is two imprints under one roof. We publish tabletop roleplaying games and the fiction set in the same continent — one imagined country, kept by a small group of writers, illustrators and cartographers.

Manmonkai arrives with three books on day one: the Player Handbook, the System Book, and — following soon after — the Game Master Handbook. Everything is shipped in matching half-cloth bindings and made to sit on a shelf together.

I.
One Continent
Every book and rulebook takes place on the same map. Read in any order; the ledger is shared.
II.
Slow Books
We release two or three titles a year. Edited carefully. Printed properly. Kept in stock.
III.
Open Table
All of our rulebooks release under a permissive licence. Run them. Hack them. Tell us.

A Letter from the House

Keep a light at the gate.
