Dungeons and Dragons Lore: Green Dragon 

One of my uncles survived a chlorine gas exposure in the early 1950s and indeed lost his entire left lung. He passed of related conditions in 1974. So it's not just acid damage, there are also secondary conditions. Lung cancer, liver, heart and brain damage are all caused bychlorine gas exposure.... A gift that keeps giving. TPKk in 2d10 years? It's easy to be patient when you, as a dragon, are going to live 15 centuries

I had a green dragon invite the players into a forest to discuss a truce with a town next to a forest. During the discussion the dragon presented them with a celebratory meal; that has been poisoned. A two part poison, so now the players can be manipulated by the dragon to further more ambitious plans to raid a town much further away from the forest. If you can't get the treasure, get someone else to do it for you :)

"part reptilian monster, part druid, part psionic sorcrerer"... my favorite dragon hands down

A cunning villain is infinitely more engrossing to read about and battle against than a snarling brute. Greens > Reds. XD

"They called her 'Little Verthy.' Their 'protector.' The idiots." AJ, I've been watching your content for a long time, but never before have you made me laugh as hard as that shift from "look how cute it is" to dispassionate disdain. My day has been immeasurably improved.

so green dragons court entirely by tsundere. that's something I learned today.

Environmentally, I always preferred forests for encounters over any other type of environment, so green dragons are my bread and butter.

Couldn't be at a more perfect time; My players are on their way to an island dominated and ruled by a Green Dragon. AJ always at it with the useful resources!

As i posted in the video on black dragons, my brother (a loveable and diabolical DM) ran a game involving a green dragon that was terrorizing several nearby communities. One of the communities was a dwarven community that used to use the mountain, where the dragon now lives, as a mine. The dwarves used their mithril reserves to build a great mithril cannon that was enchanted and fired specially enchanted ammunition of Green dragon slaying (think arrow of slaying: green dragon). Our party was to draw out the dragon and keep him distracted while the dwarves shot him down. In return the party would get a share of the loot. However... Setup: the dragon purchased bio-luminescent fungi, with psychotropic properties, from drow traders and cultivated it and seeded all bodies of water in it's domain with the stuff. This caused anyone drinking the water to make a CON save DC 16 or be subject to hallucinations and confusion. The mountain was the location of a massive waterfall (think Angel Falls) which covered the escape rout of the lair. At it's bottom was a deep pool bordered by brush and the old wood and was the main entrance for the lair. This pool area created a 'bowl' and when the dragon used it's breath weapon, caused the cloud to persist and fill the area. We managed to kill it, with much difficulty and entered treasury. Gold and every manner of gem were there as well as a massive collection of delicate and ornate chandeliers of gold, mithril and diamonds. It was all vary elaborate and unbelievable. On the back wall of this hoard was a stone slab with draconic runes carved on it. I read them aloud, the dragon's name: Azzendorious. It was then that a terrible curse was unleased: The spells: Transmute Metal to wood (permanenced), Transmute Gem to Glass (brothers creation), followed by Shatter and Fireball. I earned pariah status with all of dwarfkind. As well as fame among Dragonkind. My brother occasionally tortured me by having Evil dragons send me gifts with taunting notes attached.

"murderous box of chocolate sent to his crush" I súddenly love green dragons. xD

As seen in Critical Role Green Dragons are dangerous if they can cast spells. Imagine a green dragon having bardic abilities and the capability of casting modify memory. Now that would be dangerous to a party if Modify Memory alters their perception of the Green Dragon.

I would love to see a green dragon vs a beholder and what 4D chess move they would play and who would come out on top

Suddenly my party becoming willing pawns of our local ancient green dragon seems like a slightly worse idea... Can't wait to see how that turns out.

This dragon sounds perfect for a tribal based campaign I’m going to be in.

Honestly wizards should put you as an npc in a candlekeep adventure book

Green Dragon's are real nasty! Had a DM use one as the real guildmaster of a thief crime syndicate our party was investigating as part of the death of leader of a noble house. In the end and after a confrontation I was the only one that lived because the dragon heard of and wanted me as a lieutenant in her syndicate. My character was a 7th level thief / 9th level illusionist that I patterned after Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible as a spy and investigator. I think I lost a level in the alignment switch from Chaotic Good to Neutral Evil and became her unwilling toady until I could find a way to free myself with the help and manipulation of the new characters the other players made. Fond memories as that dragon had Palpatine levels of schemes and was just as dangerous!

I love green dragons theyre my favorite tho my party hates them

You know what we need? A bunch of green dragons running a Pyramid/Ponzi scheme.

I made a customized version of the Green Dragon for one of my games. One of my ideas was to give it various Lair Actions related to plants giving off fumes of drugs which affect players in strange ways, such as the Confusion spell, except it's nonmagical and thus, cannot be counterspelled. Can't wait to use it in Game.

Blue Dragon's seemed more honorable from my experience. But both will find loopholes in contracts to screw the player over!

I've currently got a campaign where one of the plots is a Green dragon that, in a human guise, runs a thieves guild. She is seeking to overthrow the gold dragon that is ruling with an iron fist "for the greater good" Her motives are that his tight hold hurts business. She isn't trustworthy, but for the PCs she is a case of the enemy of my enemy.

17:06 I just realized, that green dragon is acting uncharacteristically heroic. He’s picking a fight with a substantially larger dragon to protect a few humans. And he’s also in a tundra, which is also uncharacteristic.

In one of my campaigns I’m working for a green dragon, unbeknownst to most of the rest of the party.

"Just as planned!" -Green Dragons, Probably

More amazing content. I'm still going back and watching all your videos. The first big boss I ever faced in D&D was a green Dragon. Still one of my favorite villains.

I thought it would be awesome to give an ancient green dragon the "wood wisp" quality, so they can pass through trees and plants as if they were not even there. Just imagine a party hunkering down in a dense forest, thinking the trees will protect them from the giant flying beast, only to have it swoop down to attack from ground level to snatch a party member in a fly by attack and disappear into the trees.

As a DM I am obligated to absorb every one of your videos.

Greens are my favorite of the Chromatic Dragons, thanks primarily to Cyan Bloodbane from Dragonlance. The "end boss" in my 5E home-brew setting is an adult Green Dragon that was such a persistent threat and nuisance to the local High Elf kingdom, that said Elves worked a spell which caused the entire kingdom to slip into the Feywild.

Out of curiosity, I know that some chromatic dragons do cross breed blue's and red's as an example. So my question is given that at time green and black dragons do have territory overlaps can you get a hybrid of the two and if so what color and breath weapon would the offspring of that union have?

ah, a creature that perfectly describes my mom, except the “loyal to mates” part lol

Thanks for this green dragons are my favorite I've been waiting for this video since the poll.

I know that you deal in Forgotten Realms lore, but, come on. Cyan Bloodbane is the most famous green dragon in D&D, he deserved a mention! Maybe in a "Famous dragons of D&D" sort of vid?

For whatever reason green dragons excite my imagination so much more than any other color.

Green Dragons have always been my favourite because of the relatively wide variety of environments you can put them in. Swamps, temperate forests, jungles, etc.

This video has convinced me to make everything my players have learned about mating pair of green dragons an absolute lie. They think they are going to be helping a female kill her mate in a double cross against him to which she would then attack and kill them once he was defeated. Now, I think she is luring them into a fun house of traps and minions only to come out on the end and fight two green dragons working together heh heh

I think the most disappointing thing about D&D is that their elemental damage types don’t have interactions with the world around it, unless the spell or ability says so. For example, cold and electric damage only interact with water if your DM says so. But that is why I’m glad the makers of divinity 2 r making baldurs gate 3

Just saw Jorphdans video on 18th to 100th level module from back in the day....he was right its a beast! I remember how tough it was

As always, an absolute thrill to watch and learned quite a bit about these little gems....

0:10 hahaha, The look on your face with the lizard outside the window🤣 "Maybe getting a multi-plane jumping tower wasn't such a good idea. I think I remember this realm. . . Oh God he's back. H-hey! Out of the garden please! Go awa-, oh geez, LEAVE!" - 3:50 The Raishan saga in Critical Role was pretty great😋

My favorite legendary dragon is not actually from the Forgotten Realms, rather, this monster (for he is indeed a monster that puts other green dragons to shame) is a native of Krynn. I am of course talking about Cyan Bloodbane, who through guile, manipulation, and magic (aided by a dragon orb), conquered the elven nation of the Silvanestri elves, killed them by the thousands, and drove them from their homeland, effectively forcing them to attack and conquer the smaller elven nations of the Qualanestri and wild elves. All the while filling the forest of the Silvanestri with undead. Had he not been stopped by the heroes of the lance, he would eventually have conquered the entire eastern side of the continent he lived on.

Imagine living over 1000 years! Geez that would be insane! I'd probably accomplish everything in that span of time

I Once Played a Half-Nymph, Half-Green Dragon. She ended up marrying a Prince and taking over his kingdom. But that was a pretty cheap campaign lol

I’m really enjoying the ongoing bits of monsters out the window in the intro.

AJ! Damn it man! You've done it again! I bet that I've listened to this video, at least a dozen times! That's a conservative estimate! Because this and your other new Chromatic Dragon videos, are among my favorites, to listen to, as I await sleep!!! Not because it's boring, by any means! You're just one of the best, at "reading me bedtime stories!". And I very much appreciate it! Those 10 hour gentle rain sleep soundtracks, ain't got nothin on you, mate!

ah venomfang. i love how he turned out in my game: manipulating the players into helping him ascent to godhood. who has more people listening to everything you say then a god? but the party also shifted him more helpful means to selfish goal to helpful means to selfish goal which'll probably result in continued helpfulness towards the people. also some members of the party have absolutely created a cult, which is fun to justify towards others.

I like this video so much. Greens are my second favorite dragon after white. This video is so great and exactly what I needed for some inspiration. Thank you.

You don't have to breathe it, it goes right through your skin and holes upon contact.

So, my understanding is that when a green dragon is sleeping, adventurers cannot take shelter in its cave and leave some gold for the dragon when they leave...

Has anyone done a campaign where a black and green dragon actually work together to some degree or do they really hate each others

Huh, I wonder if the reason green dragon have such strong control over nature is that they came from the fey originally? Also I wonder if thay get along will with Amber dragons lol. Ps Great video as always btw!❤

Green dragons have always held a special a special place in my heart since reading temple of Dragon slayer as a kid the book which got me into d&d thanks for the great video

I think green dragons are my favorite dragon

Great video AJ. I love how you mentioned how chlorine gas works. One of my life-long dark obsessions is poisons. You won't believe how many police forensics labs cannot detect. I digress. The frustrating thing I find in AD&D is that it makes a distinction between acids and poisons. You can qualify acid and alkalines as poisons but not always versa. A lot of bugs, their venom, is actually acid. When some spiders bite you, the biggest worry is the infection. Why is it the infection with those? Well, their venom, their poison, was actually acid that they inject in prey to make their insides into a Slurpee. So, when they bite you, they burned a couple holes through your skin that are like open gates for infection to enter. When, as a teenager, I read that green dragons' poison breath was chlorine, I did my first face-palm ever... because of the distinction (immunities applied, saves used, etc) between poisons and acids... and I would rule chlorine gas as an acid attack if I had my way. So, in my campaigns, I made the magic of the dragon itself alter the chlorine to be more short-lived toxic than acid (dragon enchanted chlorine)... same damage to living things only not acid-like, more venom-like or plantlike. It was the only way I could run Green Dragons without nerd-raging against myself.

Is a soul bonding as great as they say? Want to soul bond?

How do the fey wild perceive a green dragon? since if effects the natural world is that considered a boon to then or as it turns it unnaturally agressive does that anger them?

I also wanna see an update video of the Dragon Turtle.

Coolest Green Dragon 🐉

Great video AJ

Their society and family structure sound a little like Cardasians from Star trek.

Would love to see you do a video along the lines of the article "Dragons of the North".

Unrelated and intense question, AJ. Mournaguth the green dragon made an appearance in my 1487DR game. Not a dracolich yet. She hates Shar for not turning her back yet after a century. Plans on becoming a Dracolich with the COTD. A Sélunite cleric PC has been in Sending contact with her for a week. The party has *the original nether scrolls from the Hssthak 1980's writeup.* Those funny things- Alter Beast and Awaken Intelligence. They wanna use Alter Beast on *her* to overcome her incurable condition by permanently genetically altering her back into a human again- at the risk of instant death by System Shock. That is *tempting* And, all in the name of telling Shar where she can shove it. Uh, tips on how the hell to approach THAT dualist scenario? Achieve immortality BY dying- trusting a creepy cult. OR attain humanity at the RISK of dying- trusting a gang of heroes who have showed that they *can* kill her at great risk to themselves.

Gnawbone made an appearance in my last session. I knew nothing about him, coincidentally he is controlling an Elven druid in Kryptgarden Forest and has made a home in an ancient Elven temple that has a portal straight to the Feywild. In my campaign, the Dragon and the Druid have a pact for the forests balance where she must tend to the dragon or he will destroy the forest. Gnawbone also wants to stop anyone from accessing the Feywild. The druid is able to guide people past the dragon to the temple while wearing an amulet that gnawbone cursed her with.

Can a green dragon scam a devil when it come to contract.

Very informative! I’m running both Lost Mine of Phandelver as well as Tyranny of Dragons for the second time. Obviously a the young green dragon won’t be so overwhelming, but this gave me so many ideas for the adult green dragon encounter in Rise of Tiamat! Thank you so much.

Thanks again for more dragon lore. Please keep the dragon lore coming!

And now, some notable green dragons in published D&D campaigns (SPOILERS INCOMING): One of the major side bosses of _The Lost Mines of Phandelver_ is a young green dragon named Venomfang. It's capable of easily TPKing a party of 3rd level adventurers dinking around in the town of Thundertree, but doesn't have much plot relevance otherwise. Thankfully, if you survive long enough to deal sufficient damage, Venomfang will flee to find a new lair. In _Dungeon of the Mad Mage_ we meet one of the oddest green dragons around - Valdemar. He dwells on the 5th sublevel of Undermountain, and is unique because he is GOOD-aligned. However, this is because he has an extremely powerful, intelligent good-aligned sword embedded in his brain named Tearulai. In fact, the sword seems to be controlling Valdemar, as the young dragon refers to itself by that name when adventurers first meet him. Sadly for any adventurers who would use Tearulai's powers, it wants nothing more than to return to Myth Drannor, and will use whatever means it can to do so. What's more, slaying the dragon will incur the wrath of the archdruid Wyllow who dwells there with him. In _Storm King's Thunder_ is an ancient green dragon named Claugiyliamatar, aka "Old Gnawbone" dwells in Kryptgarden Forest. While her main interest is manipulating the politics of Neverwinter, she serves as a source of information for adventurers that seek to deal with the problem of the giants, assuming that they can restrain themselves from attacking her when she first appears. Those who foolishly strike her will get a face full of her 22d6 poison breath before she leaves. On top of the array of abilities ancient green dragons already possess, she casts as an 8th-level druid, and can innately cast Invisibility, Legend Lore, Protection from Energy and True Seeing, each 1/day.

I Love Green Dragon 🐉

Thanks AJ.

now, I love these amazing monsters even more, maybe more than my favourite dragon: the Skull/Black Dragon. I have to make a forest city that became a center for arts & crafts after a Green took it over & claimed the masterpieces of each artist/artisan as his/her personal treasure. the city is protected by the Green & his/her Draconic Sorcerer small army (his/her "children") , while the dragon is protected by the city's army & the sorcerers.

Other green dragons: we ain't gonna say anything about our hordes and we will die with that knowledge Athauglas: you want my treasure? you can have it! I left everything I gathered in one place. now you just have to find it DM: These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine! This is the time known as 'The Great Pirate Era'!

Oh also aj are you going to redo your brown dragon video? If so can you explore their relationship with imaskar? I read in a monster manual that Legends say that the imaskari created them. I don't really believe it but brown dragon are mostly found in the Raurin desert which was created after imaskari war with the Gods, so maybe the imaskari bought them over through portals for the war maybe? Wanted to know what your opinion was?🧙‍♂️

Me: “Ah man another dragon video! They’re so boring.” AJ: “Exhales chlorine gas.” Me: OwO

Gonna be honest here, I never understood evil creatures choosing to starve animals and use their desperation for a meal to weaponize them. I always thought they would see most animals that could serve as useful weapons as exactly such; Weapons that should be kept in good and fit shape. Starving them would make them substantially worse at their job in the same way blunting a sword edge does.

I suppose devils and green dragons are two sides of the same manipulative coin

What had always bugged me is resistance to their gaseous poison breath by wearing Green Dragon Scale Armor. Must be a mask or head gear that provides protection?

Is there a triffid analog? Like a creature that is pretty much a triffid. I just finished the book so I am interested lol 😁 Great video by the way, I play magic and the green dragons remind me of simic creatures with all their boils and things lol

I don't think I've thrown a dragon at my party... ever. and I've been a DM for 13 years.

Funny, I was hoping he’d make this one

Green dragon...? more like, peen dragon! OOOOH got em!

wow - they're GRIFTERS lololololol

Green dragons, Forest Dragon and their great ancients, Jade or Emerald dragons, are the most cunning of all dragons, they have evolved to fly in the forest, not an easy skill mind you but over time their own bodies have gathered forest like characteristics, antler-like horns, seen in males when they reach maturity, leaf-like growths from their scales, Their breath comes in 2 forms, fiery gas like venom, very deadly and nasty or they can spit as a form of acid, some have learned to lay traps with it by spiting it in a pond, the second while rare, is fairy fire, very dangerous, its a form of nature, arcane & elemental wrapped up in one, tapping into the forest life force the dragon's projects this attack forward, its often a counter rather than direct strike,

My d and d group just very heavily damaged a green dragon at lvl 5 and we made a deal with it for a new home since we its lawful evil and we just needed to clear it out, dont fully trust it but pretty rough fight so deal was made anyway came to get more lore info love the vid

I made it through the whole video and I'm a little disappointed since you did not talk about the green dragon that ruled over the kobold city back before the dragon war and didn't talked about how the elves were able to kill off the Green dragons Slaughter the kobold kick them out of their home and implanted the ancient dragon Madness device that drove all dragons completely mad for over 500 years until 4th Edition group Aventuras went to this place destroy the artifact to spell plague happened and now all the dragons pretty much all around the world are all perfectly fine.

Poor, poor seasick dragons...

also if its similar to pathfinder do they interact with jabberwoky(Please do a lore vid of them :P)Recently completed kingmaker pc game and noticed the fey employed them so assume they come into conflict with greens.

What in the Nine Hells?! I was wondering why your videos weren’t appearing in my notifications lately. I have been unsubscribed for no reason. Time to catch up on dragons it seems.

A few notes regarding " Forest Dragons." Base off of AD&D2e, Monstrous Manual, Dragon Lance campaign setting, and Council of the Wrym campaign setting. Follow by some campaigns I played in and had dealing with dragons. This will be a LONG Read. AD&D2e 1st.) Red Dragons a.) Red Dragon leave their parent's lair by early young adult or when they are still in juvenile age stage. They don't make good room mates. Young adult red dragons that feel the " itch," will or may or may not just leave a clutch of eggs and forget about them. Not even really give a second though about the forest fires or how the local humanoids having to deal with those savage little brutes. Parentless wrymlings born in a clutch of eggs numbering 1d4+1 babies are pack hunters for the next few decades. b.) In the Dragon Lance ( Where all dragons are shape changers starting with being first hatched.) There was a novel with a bunch of short stories regarding dragons. In one story about a clutch of " wild " red wrymlings meeting humans for the first time. The wrymlings were in shock of seen the humans for the first time, and started studying and stocking them at distances to see how best to take one of the humans down. After the first few minutes of watching the way the humans move about, one of the wrymling started to match her breathing to the nearest human child. Over the next few seconds in her shock & wonderment her body turn from dragon and shift into a human child, with full bare skin cover in dirt. Her clutch siblings were in total awe and she fell down a few times learning to walk on her " hind " legs for the first time, with a few cuts and scraps. Her siblings push her down a few times trying to figure her new form out. Which cause her to cry out in pain and draw the nearest humans to the group. Her dragon siblings went into hiding and she stumble out into view of the adult humans. The humans took petty on this unknown lost little red head girl and brought her into their home. They forgot the old folk stories about taking in " lost red headed children " into your home. " The Red Hair Ones bring only Fire & Doom." 2nd.) Green Dragons a.) Green dragons are over protective of their offspring and will fight to the death to protect them," as you stated." Also stated in the AD&D2e Monstrous Manual, that hill giants love to hunt green dragons and due to that cause, green dragon siblings on good relations with their parents will lair near by each other for mutual defense. Also it was not uncommon for three to four generations of females living/ lair with their eggs in the " grandmother " den if there is enough space. " Most murder hobos I meet back in the late 1990's hated the green dragon family grouping. They just wanted to kill the dragon and get way too much gold/ treasure and not deal with being feed to a lion's pride." b.) Dragon Lance, in the later part of the novel series, a rampaging red dragon made a mistake of burning a few villages belonging to a family of green dragons killing their elven pets and destroying their vineyards & wine storage. Which cause the Dark Dragon Queen armies to go into civil war. The random actions and chaotic nature of black & red dragons damage the real estate of the green dragons cause a political military back lash. 3rd.) Council of the Wryms, campaign setting where you get to RPG dragons. Their XP advancement charts are unreal. Yet this setting brought about the first " half- dragon " and Half-dragons became a staple of D&D3e. 4th.) Back in the late 1990's my game shop I went to played dragons as a RPG plot device or as a " learning " lesson. During this time I was in my early 20's. When it came to playing dragons, it came down to " how does a dragon fit into a campaign group or setting ?" The game shop I went to was very much open setting World of Warcraft table top. Where players can have their characters face off against other PC's. Some got " pissy " that the Shop owner/ DM allowed players to play dragons. .. A .. N .. D .. the murder hobos were just looking for ways to kill your dragon character for XP . House/ Shop rule, .. You can only use another " open campaign " character as an NPC on the grounds of you Can Not kill the character off in game and there was a few other guide lines. b.) I went to teach a dragon hunting murder hobo a hard lesson about gaming and life in general. So I more or less made him play a red dragon for a few games. And he acted like it was nothing but did enjoy that " cough, " his dragon character was building up a power base. Then someone else used " his " dragon in a game. Which was no problem cause his dragon was a campaign plot device. A dragon was played in game for dramatic effect with tactical epic combat. The Eternal Hunt game of tag. Well this DM " just " let his group of murder hobo players Curb Stomp " his " dragon and the DM was a " Dick " to the player, his character, and to the shop owner. " If it died in game, dragon dead in campaign. " * smirk . So the shop owner said to the bunch of posers, to run the game again and He gets to Run His Red Dragon. The poser said it wouldn't change the out come. End result, if you run a dragon as a PC to real " Hack Master " another group of players. The dragon wins. The posers were politely asked to spend their money else where. The guy who was learning life lessons, he learn dragons are " people " too. Monsters are not cannon fodder xp stepping stone and group gaming is about Role playing. 5th.) Games with Dragon Characters a.) In one game I played a male noble wizard that believed a woman should known her proper place in society. And he got lucky with a polymorph spell and turn a young adult female green dragon into a red hair " Irish " woman that was real easy on the eyes to look at. The green dragon/ human was made into a group character that was " pass around," each play session. Ground rule, who played her had to flirt and taught the other players. Just remember everything your sister or your girl friends ever said or done to you and play the dragon that way. Then " this " O.. N .. E .. woman started to player her ... * deep sigh .. After two months gaming with her, she rented one of the side rooms in my grandparents house for a month. .. ... Much to my surprise .... Thank god her and my grandmother never real got along, my grandfather though she was a keeper. b.) Air Mail Service . Or Let's make a deal . i.) A gnome or halfling rides a dragon mount and delivers packages. ii.) A young adult green dragon runs off some bandits from a wagon and the dragon walks the merchant to the nearest town, for the merchant's safety. And the dragon learn all about the local gossip. iii.) A dragon marks their area between villages by raking out a wagon road, then charges Toll for the use of his/ her roads. The dragon did a good job on the roads and the local nobles like the improve trade. But each noble wants to turn the dragon to their favor. iv.) A young adult dragon see humans grooming dogs, cats, cows, horses, themselves, and each other. Thinks to them self, " I real could enjoy someone brushing between my eyes. " v.) You see it all started at this tavern in between towns and I looked in through the window. vii.) Teach me magic .. ! viii.) Sorry to tell you, but you are not an elf ....* one random PC who is hit with Dispel Magic becomes a dragon.

@AJ Pickett hello, please could you tell me where did you find that green dragon can "alter it self"? Some of D&D lore stated that is a ability that they want the most but hey can't naturally used it.

*AJ Pickett* Awesome and very cool music.. congratulations for this fantastic production and wish you all the best.. 🎬🎼👌🌎 i want see you on the top

I have been running a homebrew Pathfinder campaign for a few years (although we took just over 1 year off from March 2020 to now). It's pretty vanilla by design and the overarching theme is...Dungeons and Dragons. The party is finally reaching the middling levels where they can start hunting dragons and they just killed their first (white). I'm throwing them for a loop and sending them to a green next rather than a black (my green mini is large, my black is huge). Between each dragon I'm shooting for a city and a few villages and about 3 small dungeons to level up and get gear. Ultimately, they're opening up teleportation portals that allow safe passage through the Astral plane...so long as you have the corresponding scales to open them. The problem is that dragons hadn't been seen in about 200 years (thanks to a previous adventuring group, the sole survivor being an NPC divination wizard and party friend who is terrified the Lich who ultimately killed his party will someday find him) but mysteriously came back (thanks to an unknown BBEG lich who wants the Dragons to return so he can do the ritual to create a Dracolich). I hope to do one mega dungeon with a lich and dracolich as the finally. If everyone's still having fun and wants to drag it out I'll work in a false lich (mummy lord) first. It's been a blast so far, now that the lower levels are done and they have one dragon down things are picking up. I always rewatch your and Mrrhexx's videos on each dragon a few times before writing the adventures leading to each boss dragon.

Love to see it!

I'm starting a campaign setting, how many dragons would there be in the world by type in your opinion?

I get that you're limiting yourself to the forgotten realms but I just found it kind of odd that the most famous green dragon created by dungeons and dragons you skipped. Cyan Bloodbane from the world of dragonlance that played the part of worm tongue by whispering insane thoughts into the ear of elven king controlling an artifact called a dragon orb resulting in the elven forest going quite mad.

Something I'd like to know in lore do hybrid dragons exist

A future video on Xorvintaal???!

Ahh yes, sending an adventuring party like a box of murderous chocolates. Now that's romance!

what about the fat green from Xen`drik

Is there a xorvinthau (spelling) video yet? Zorvinthow, Psorthinvau

Plz make a video about claugiyliamatar

Are there any other analogs for poisonous breath? Two acid dragons in similar environments with different listed damage types isn't as satisfying.
