Help me plan my adventure! Dragons are too powerful!

Ya see, I don't know what level my party will be. I'm kinda looking for suggestions on that, thanks for the comment anyway, its a huge help.

It's like asking for advice on going on a road trip but not knowing what the distance is... why is it that you don't know? Do you determine the party level?

I have to agree with the others here: find something in the right range with similar flavor, then reskin it as a dragon.

My games are pretty silly. But the one thing I take seriously is dragons. It's in the title of the game, so I figure I have to make it good.

Have you seen what I do to dragons?

If you're designing this adventure as a sequel, then assume the party started at first level and has gone through the first adventure. Assume they earned 90-100% of the experience available in the first adventure. That should help you figure out a starting level for the current adventure.

Also, watch the movie Dragon Slayer for inspiration.
