After a hiatus which lasted longer than I expected, DireKobold.com has released a new adventure. Draconnosaurus was written by Terry Edwards, who also provided the maps and the art. I guess that makes him a game designing triple threat, though I'm sure there are times when he wishes that he could act, sing and dance. I hear that, in addition to being more lucrative, women find it irresistible. But before I unfairly malign Terry's skill with the fairer sex any more, I should tell you about the adventure. It was originally designed for four 8th level characters, but with the Xenogenic System, it easily scales from 5th to 11th level and for a party of 1-12 characters.
At this point you saying, "Yeah that's all fine and good but what's the adventure about?" I'm glad you asked. The premise of the adventure is sort of a "Jurassic Park" for the D&D world. In the modern world, cloning a dinosaur is all about finding DNA, but in a fantasy world there are all sorts of methods which might be employed by our pseudo-paleontologist. Raise Dead and Resurrection spring immediately to mind, but what if the fossil was too old? The paleontologist in this adventure comes up with the brilliant idea of using a dragon to breed with short-lived polymorphed versions of the dinosaurs, and then having these half-dragons breed with the dinosaurs again until eventually he was left with pure dinosaur stock. Unfortunately, in the absence of any promiscuous metallic dragon in the vicinity, he ends up making a deal with a blue dragon. From this short-sighted act the rest of the adventure flows.
