A cave of some kind certainly, maybe one with active vulcanism that could be the lair of a fiery red dragon. A frost lair might contrast nicely with that; snow drifts, fog, and thin ice could all be ready challenges.

PS; I love the synergy between the dragon and the swamp environment. Making my own environments is one area of DH I’m trying to get better at.

oops, lol. That’s very cool! As someone adapting a long running Planescape campaign to Daggerheart, seeing creative ways to port over D&D monsters is very appealing to me. And monster design was one of my favorite aspects of 4e. I’d love to see any other examples you’re willing to share!

@zakael19 , I think you were the one that said in another thread you were looking to convert 4e’s Monster Vault to Daggerheart. Is the dragon above one such example? What’s your methodology for doing the conversions?

Wait! The clouds themselves must be the clue!! SMOG MONSTER CONFIRMED!!!

I loved this take, I was grinning ear to ear the whole time reading the OP. I don’t plan on running in the Realms any time soon, but if I do I might just take some inspiration from your write up.

I guess I’m the only one who felt sorry for the baby dragon when leafing through my brand new 2e PHB. I imagined those smug adventurers ambushed the poor thing in its sleep and ran around to every tavern boasting how they saved the kingdom from the biggest, fiercest wyrm you had ever seen! 😅

I feel like years ago I saw some concept art for Jedi uniforms in TPM that were more similar to what Luke wore in Jedi. But the story went that George changed his mind because he thought keeping Obi Wan’s original look would be better for kids and toy sales. I don’t have any citations, so take...

I love this! Every now and then I replay the Gold Box games, so I’ll definitely try it!

In our games, when a player has to miss a game we often let them nominate another player to drive their character. In larger groups, we might also have the absent character go on an off-camera side adventure, or guard the camp, or head back to some safe area to tend to other business. We’re all...

I’m not sure if this is meets the definition of tactical, but I’ve found my players are more engaged in DH combats, partly because of the (lack of) initiative, but also because they are trying to come up with interesting synergies between their various powers and abilities (and the occasional...

Never tried hacking Pool of Radiance, but my friend and I tried to force one of the Krynn Goldbox games to accept our Azure Bonds characters. It kind of worked, they imported with a few wonky stats and really nonsensical items. The best was a weapon made up of ascii characters that acted like a...

I didn’t play a ton of Vampire back in the 90’s, but in our games the Camarilla was the default faction, the Shabbat the opposing faction. and the Anarchs were barely a blip. With the current V5 books that’s all changed, with the Anarchs being very front and center.

As a kid nothing beat the Rankin Bass specials, but I haven’t watched them since I was a teenager. If you like these specials but have never seen The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus it is worth tracking down. It’s one of their most obscure and trippy, tying Santa’s origins and abilities to...

It was the first rpg game that I had to get on a wait list to buy (from my FLGS). It wasn’t until at least a month or so later that they started having copies on the shelves. I was kind of lukewarm to Daggerheart in the early playtesting but once I had a chance to play and run the final...
