I wasn’t expecting to enjoy reading this guide as much as I did. Although it’s based on the Dragons of the D&D worlds, this gave me a lot of ideas for any dragon characters that I might want to write into my own work. It just goes to show the versatility and depth with which you can approach dragons beyond the standard fire-breathers of the Tolkienian and Fairy Tale Variety.

Nice kids intro to dragons.

Reading these with the boys for our eventual nerd bash of D&D. Really brings me back.
