/tg/, what do you think about dragons?

I think that one looks way to old to be hanging out with school girls

>>49440169

I like them well enough when they're used sparingly and look cool.

But even the concept of "used sparingly" is ironically overdone. Nowadays every other work of fantasy involving dragons gushes over how rare and magical they are and how their reappearance is a portent for things to come.

Frankly, I like Asian dragons. They work really well as spiritual entities and I find that more interesting than a vicious monster sitting on a horde of treasure. Even if that monster has superhuman intelligence and charisma.

this is a pretty good way of saying it. Dragons are neat and all but they still feel generic whenever they come up.

They make for awesome heraldry and religious iconography. But as actual monsters go they're really played out.

Dragons are cool. A bit overdone, but still cool despite that.

You can do a ton of things with them, and they've got enough cultural inertia you can get everyone on the same page quickly using dragons that you couldn't with other big magical beasties.
If I say there's an ancient dragon in the cave, people know that this is a big fucking thing but they can probably talk their way out instead of fighting the scary thing.
Also because of that same cultural knowledge you can surprise people by doing the unexpected. The ancient dragon is this tiny little lizard! Turns out dragons don't get bigger over time and instead the bigger dragons are a different draconic species.

I get where you're going with this but I don't like it when people do stuff like that. It's like making up a weird fantasy world where people ride on furry bipedal dinosaurs but everyone refers to them as "horses". Subverting audience expectation is a good thing, but take it too far and you just come off as up your own ass.

They grow to be the size of a small dog, and are pretty damn cool pets.

Well, of course. He's hanging out with his great-to-the-nth grandaughter and being the cool old uncle. Age requirements are waived for that.

>>49441883
I want to do something like that once I got the occasion.
The idea was strangely enough to pair them with dwarves, every big dwarf fortress having a dragon as protector/counsellor/prophet depending on the dragon, tied to the king.
Kinda like the Kirins in The Twelve Kingdoms now that I think about it. But with more violence on their part I guess.

I also like finding uses for dragons that actually work with how goddamn intelligent they actually are.

My favorite has been the dragon-king role. Elder dragon shows up because his dragon blood sorcerer decedents have been acting as sorcerer-kings. Takes over the kingdom rather quickly and proceeds to turn it into an economic powerhouse.

When was the last time you had a unicorn in your game, /tg/?

>>49446634
The last unicorn we encountered in our game was a painted donkey with a carrot on his head.

It nearly started a war between two kingdoms and made the wizards of a nearby academy flee into their secret magic underground "shitsgoindown"-bunker to rebuild society after an apocalyptic event.

>>49446687
I'm somewhat curious how we go from Monster Manuel trying to pass off a donkey as a unicorn all the way to a magic apocalypse.

>>49442644
In my current setting they're not creatures. They're natural disasters caused by warfare and chaos, and they have the ability to salt the earth and completely remove its ability to support life. They leave behind chalk deserts where they strike, making it absolutely uninhabitable. They're only shaped like asian dragons because the evil god that creates them is a nasty silver shenlong living in the moon.

I've also had them all mutated and disgusting, oozing puss and toxins as they rot alive. The last dragon was brought back as a skeletal thrall for some rich bastard who wanted a strong guard dog, and it escaped with some powerful necromantic curses. All of the existing dragons are disgusting corrupted horror shows that have lost their minds to the rot. They became sources of potent venom that just sort of shambled around polluting the earth.

I like dragons as long as they're given a new role other than 'really fucking dangerous enemy'.

>>49440169
I'm fine with them if they make sense in the game world, rather than being there just for the sake of it.

As a rule, I don't include dragons in my game, because I will inevitably design them in a way that sends players into you-know-where.

>>49446687

There is no dragon here. Move on, nothing to see.

I like them. Not quite as much as some others on /tg/ do ie, not sexually but I still like them. I use them in my campaigns a little too often and post in dragon threads on this board. Maybe it's just because I like reptiles, but I've always found them fascinating.

I've actually been trying to write a story based on a prompt I got from a dragon thread. The prompt initially said "Dragon appears next to you, what do", but my plot has sort of spiraled off into something involving magical slavery, elven conspiracy theories, and the entire race of dragons getting banished to Earth. It's been extremely difficult to write, but this second re-write has been going okay, I guess.

Got an RPG setting where Dragons have ruled over humans since the dawn of time, and only recently have humans been able to break away, due to the Dragons killing each other for about a century and a half straight.

Tried to make them as plausible as possible, with huge wingspans, a hollow bone-structure, and warm blood.

The most implausible thing about dragons to be honest is their ability to hold up their wings for indefinite amount of time. What's up with that? You never see a bird doing that; dragons do it all the time, everytime.

I did this.
I had a kinda Japanese-Dorf kingdom in my setting. Instead of an island, it was located in a valley in the center of the highest moutain chain. Very small country, isolationnists people, you get the shtick.
I had a kind of Dwarven Shogun, ruling in stead of the emperor, who was never seen, locked away in his palace.
You guessed it, my PC had to battle and make their way through miles and miles of gardens to get to that palace, climb to the plateau in its center, and there layed a very old dragon, the Emperor

I had some clues along the way. The high-ranking officers and such had scale armor. Fire and fireworks were omnipresent in their culture etc...

I tried to be subtle, but one of my playher guessed it, so I guessed I wasn't that subtle. He didn't spoil the surprise though.

Would it be interesting to have a fantasy setting where dragons fly in herds, like wild horses do? Every herd has a 'stallion', so to speak, a alpha male dragon responsible for protecting the herd, who, if comes across in certain situations, will attack you. Also would allow for involvement of drakes and young dragons across the path of the party that've fallen off the back of a herd or is lost, providing more varied dragon types.

Right from my setting. Kobolds are the "wise" race. Kobolds can become masters in a craft in only a few months by mind melding with one of their dragon leaders

>“Dragons” are the rarest breed of Kobold. Its estimated that only one in a million Winged One's will be a Dragon. Dragons for the first 100 years or so seem no different than a Winged One. Then at some point they some how metamorphisize into the great dragons. They will not share anything on this process. What can be said is the Dragons are extremely powerful. Just one could raze an entire fortified castle town. Luckily they are not vengeful or angry beasts at heart and will only stir to war when absolutely necessary. Instead they busy themselves with leading their race and overseeing their empire. The great Dragons knowledge is so vast and perfect that they seem to know everything and can recall anything perfectly. Thus they are the wardens of the worlds knowledge. They freely share this within their own race. Unfortunately they only rarely share knowledge with outsiders. Thankfully though they are warm hearted and if an outsider seeks their knowledge with the intent to do good such as curing a plague or figuring out how to grow more food for the masses they will likely share. It is unknown how long dragons live as only one has been known to die of natural causes and even then it is unknown how true that statement is as the dragons are silent on the mater. As of this writing there are 9 dragons on the council of fangs. This council serves as the entire upper government of the Kobold's. All major decisions are made by the council and spread by the Winged Ones across their empire. Local government is controlled by a council of winged ones for the larger settlements or just one or two Winged Ones for the smaller settlements.

Currently I'm enjoying the idea of replacing dragons entirely by two creatures; the great python and the mighty magpie.

The great pythons are gigantic underground snakes. Powerful and strong they are also deeply intelligent with a cold and unfeeling edge of cunning to them. They can hypnotize people with their eyes and like to manipulate human society in generations-long plots and plans.

Next are the Might Magpies- gigantic birds that make nests on mountains. They collect shinies to attract mates and are about as dangerous as dragon-sized birb can be.

I am doing this because dragons, who are;
>Flying
>Wealthy
>Magical
>Strong
>Extremely intelligent
Are a bit too 'OP' for my tastes, so I changed them into two somewhat lesser creatures.

I dunno, that last bit's only comfy if you're smart enough to provide the dragon with insightful discussion. Otherwise it's just annoying for them and very quickly disappointing for you.

>>49469986
It would still be comfy just being a servant to a deity.

No thanks.

I implore you to reconsider.

>>49470190
>Implying

In D&D I try REALLY hard to emphasize their uniqueness as individuals since they're supposed to be very individualistic creatures, and self-enforce the rule that even if I use the type of dragon over again I never have them act the same way or the encounter go the same way.
For example, I've only ever done the "angry dragon gets weaker humanoids to serve as it's goon army" ONCE and plan to never do it again. Basically I try to turn each one into a unique NPC with a personality and history and goals.

This means I don't end up using them very often I suppose because I have to put a lot of work into them whenever I want one to show up.

Big primordial elemental beings of chaos who are experienced more through their legacy than their actual presence. The ancient cults, the sorcerer bloodlines, the mutant half-dragons made from the fonts spilled dragon's blood that is so corrupt that the earth even rejects it. It's like radioactive poisonous acid.

>>49470216
I like you.
I don't agree with everything, but enough.

>>49470174
Yes, please

>>49470245
I just realized at one point that every other DM I ever had played every dragon of every color identically to every other dragon of the same color and noticed how players basically figured out what the dragon was doing and pre-empted everything based on this way early on, and thus the magic of the experience was kinda lost; if every encounter with every dragon is identical then it's like randomly rolling orcs and all orcs just attacking in a flat open plain on sight every time. It's boring as hell.

I end up designing the areas the dragon is actually in rather then the creature itself a lot of the time in an attempt to make each combat-based dragon encounter unique enough that it doesn't feel like the same sort of thing over and over again.

I think in the last nine-odd years of gaming I've used dragons a total of eight times and that's it.

>>49470174
You have my attention

How do "wisdom"-flavor dragons react to meeting a being much wiser and older than they are? Does their pride interfere with their ability to interact with it?

>>49470174

>>49470386
If they're wise they'll probably listen to it's wisdom, they may scheme against it, but they'll listen to it and try to learn from it in the mean time

>>49470212
If it's not I will be pleasantly surprised, but I seriously doubt it.

Not what I was expecting but doesn't add up at all. 7/10 gave me a chub.

>>49470699
Its meant to be what it says, ceremonial, and its a fucking monestary

>>49470715
>It's a fucking monestary

And? Not all monks are sexless Buddhist shut-ins.
Considering they're part of some dragon cult that can turn people into dragons for mating purposes, I can't imagine why.

>>49470715
also, she hasn't fucked in forever, implying this isn't something normal, but yeah, i didn't think anyone would want to see it.

Writing is shit, consider never typing again.

It's not hot, it's not engaging, it's not clever, it doesn't even have any closure.

>>49470620
The salt bit is odd, though I figured it's probably some purification rite given what that other monk said

It does seem to meander a bit but overall it's pretty good, might want to double check the capitalization though,

Depends, though it's pretty common for monks to be so, both eastern and western

I imagine a character (like the girl in this picture) that would become a gold or silver dragon's priest/priestess to crave wisdom from a higher deity or to gain the power to strike down evildoers even at the cost of some of their freedom. These motivations would be intense and life-defining because no one would make such an enormous choice casually.

I also imagine that many would do it out of a fetishism (also possibly in the /d/ sense) of dragon-worship and draconic power. Maybe they even feel excitement at the thought of disassociation from a "human" identity and having the physical bodily aspects of a dragon, i.e. wings, tail, scales.

Psychologically, the people likely to become a dragon's ward are prone to having experienced being ostracized by society (or perceiving being ostracized) and feeling social estrangement. For example maybe they were torn between two different familial/ethnic identities, having never truly belonged to one or the other.

They've already experienced solitude and being unaccepted so to them the state of being a dragon's servant isn't a loss of something they already had, but rather an identity they would gain. They undervalue human contact as a result of their upbringing and so to them spending time around non-humans in isolation is natural and appealing.
