Tiny Dynasty is a small publisher making an expansive world. Manmonkai is a volcanic setting of shattered shard-worlds linked by portals, where every oath leaves a mark on the soul, and an ancient empire quietly unravels as samurai duel under dying stars.
“Silence? Is it meditation, or the pause before the story begins?”
We publish tabletop role-playing games and fiction set in the same world. We embrace modern tools to bring you a unique experience. Experience the life of an honorable samurai, a lord ruling over a pocket dimension, or an oathbound struggling to make a decision when there are only bad choices.
Manmonkai launches with two books: The Open Gate, which introduces the setting, and The Inner Gate, which teaches you the system. This is all you need to run games in the world of ten thousand gates. We are working on The Hidden Gate, filled with secrets and details for the game master to make the world come alive.
Occasionally, we will send a short letter, updated playtest, new titles, and lore fragments. You can leave whenever you like.
