[QUOTE="Obergnom, post: 5021788, member: 7145"] I recently sat back and analysed the campaigns I ran during the last couple of years with my current gaming group. I noticed, that I do not use Dragons much. They are sometimes used as semi random encounters or helpers, but never as the true masterminds or threats. I guess that is, because I do not like Tiamat. Looking through the 4e Draconomicon, I stumbled upon Ashardalon. I realize he was kind of the BBEG of the indtroductory adventure series of 3rd Ed., but I only ever played The Forge of Fury out of those. I would really love to run a campaign based on Ashardalon, but I do not know much more about him than what is written in the Draconomicon. There is the Sunless Citadel and Nightfang Spire and Gulthias. How would you build a campaign around him? What are required locations and enemies/enemy types? And as I failed to find a synopsis, what was the plot of the original 3rd adventures? No one in my group played those, I guess I could recycle that. I don't want to use the old adventures, because as far as I know they are only loosly connected, similar to the new introductory series. [/QUOTE]
