[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 7999832, member: 467"] Because the Neil Gaiman thread has flown off the rails... Let's share some memorable dragon encounters have have run or played through. It doesn't matter if it is an official adventure or home brew, or what edition (although specifying edition is a good idea). One that spring immediately to mind for me happened in 2E in the middle of what would become my longest running campaign (spanning 20 years and 2 editions of D&D plus another game system entirely). The PCs were working their way to the bottom of the Evermines (a megadungeon) and found themselves in a made of magically dark maze of tunnels. What they did not realize is that it was stalked by a young adult (if I recall) black dragon. The session played out like an extended scene from Alien, with desperate groping in the dark and spontaneously acid breath and attacks from nowhere. It was while in the Evermines that the PCs accidentally woke The Great Beast of the Earth, the lord of evil dragons and an ancient red the size of a castle. When it finally emerged and called all its progeny to it was a few levels later but this is where it started. [/QUOTE]
