The Book Of Biodiversity isn't new, I just renamed it from Ryuuma X Princess World - Monsters! to bring it in line with the naming convention that's just sort of developed.
The Book Of Serendipity IS new. In the Book of Spring podcast on Shapeshift the GM/Ryuujin includes a really fun franchise with earnable badges and so on, which I loved as an idea. And naturally when I love an idea I steal it. Adding a franchise (in our case DreamHeart Journeys, or DreamHeart Teapot, or DreamHeart Teacup, it has some consistency issues) to a Ryuutama campaign is just so JRPG and so fun, earning badges and points towards more badges and so on. Anyway, mechanically it's pretty light, just mostly a bunch of questions to consider about the shape and form of your franchise, but I felt like it was worth sharing.
There's also a basic NPC sheet, and also I made a very simple thing to keep track of badges which I should probably add, because why not.
