I actually own those Dungeon Magazines, but I hadn't looked in them - I inherited them from someone giving up his collection of Dungeon and Dragon magazines. Now I need to read Age of Worms!

Like you have to <i>earn</i> your way to getting killed by dragons.<br /><br />Which is too bad, because I think they can be scary and interesting without being reserved solely for late-game play only in long campaigns.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-53334360948570701492014-05-06T12:02:12.018-04:002014-05-06T12:02:12.018-04:00Ironically, one D&D monster I've never use...Ironically, one D&D monster I've never used is the dragon. I'm not sure if it was the system itself or just player folklore, but back in the AD&D 2nd edition days I got this impression that dragons were super-powerful and only very high level parties could hope to survive meeting one. Since none of the fantasy games I GMed at the time ever got to be very high level, I never put any dragons in them.<br /><br />More recently, I GMed a year-long D&D 4th Edition campaign made up of published modules (it was the heroic tier of Scales of War). That edition of the game does have dragons fit for all power levels, but that specific campaign only featured one in its last adventure. So my track record for including dragons in my games is still low :).Ubiratanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504934061105817733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-51254123850875485862014-05-06T11:30:30.285-04:002014-05-06T11:30:30.285-04:00That's the thing with Modrons - in the right p...That's the thing with Modrons - in the right place, they'd be perfect.

They were quite powerful, weren't they?<br /><br />SLITHERING TRACKER: almost sure my group confronted at least one.<br /><br />SON OF KYUSS: great undead! Interesting without being too powerful, but really annoying - well, it can be quite lethal... probably I put one in one of my adventures, but i'm not 100% sure.<br /><br />MODRONS: never liked too much and never found a good reason they could fit in a campaing (I've been a Planescape master). I am with you: they are too "alien" and you should find a good reason to introduce them.Luca Lorenzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753738496048471583noreply@blogger.com
