When you hear Dungeons & Dragons what do you think about? If you are anything like me you probably think about Dragons. And why not? They are not only in the title of the game but they are universal to just about every culture on Earth. Heck there are even dragons running blogs (see my review of Dungeon Mastering).
Unfortunately for them there is always a little debate about how often they should be used in a game. If you want to see some of this debate you can find it on ENWorld. My personal opinion is that they should be used. No, not every adventure should have a dragon but hey, they are included in the game for a reason; to be used.
Dragons can be a great challenge for parties from 1st level all the way through epic levels. You might now be saying, “But wait a second, Dragons for a first level party? Aren’t they great big creatures who breathe fire and send spells flying?” And you would be correct, if you were talking about Great Wyrm Red or Gold Dragons. However there is a whole spectrum of dragons (literally) which come in an assortment of sizes and ages.
I hope to hear from all of you about your opinion on the subject and next time we will have some examples of Dragon encounters.
