Dragons

Or a post where I complain about Dragons

"for a world where I didn`t want any, turns out I have an awful lot of them"
-ME,a while back.

After years of battling dragons I have come to conclusion, that sadly most of the time they do feel a bit samey. As far as descriptions go they are big and breathe chemistry table in your general direction. Even their personalities are limited in that regard. Greedy or Scheming. So I kinda relegated them into tired tropes for a longest of time. Turns out unnecessarily, because when done properly they can be a great tool for your game.

One of the most interesting dragons in a long time.




After coming into contact with LOTFP I wholly subscribe to the idea of monsters they are preaching. That each is unique, and for most part there is no bestiary. Except where Im making one right now.
