And as concerns your idea for a campaign, it's a setting where anything that is sort of like a dragon, but not really a dragon (e.g. It's meant to reflect a campaign setting where dragons, not humans, are the dominant "people" of the region or world, in which humans proper are frightening invaders from some distant land. One of the points of this particular campaign setting, not just in flavor but in gameplay, was that the social structure depended on a (usually) strict division between the dragons at the top and the demihumans that served them. It's a very peculiar idea of that world built for the purpose of accommodating dragon PCs under a variant of the AD&D 2nd Edition rules. It might be fun to use the setting as far-distant inspiration in that way, but I don't know that rewriting the setting to focus on players using completely different types of PCs from those intended in the setting would qualify as a "conversion", or that it would be fruitful to approach the problem with a "conversion" in mind.Īnd that's probably a good thing! I like Council of Wyrms and have enjoyed running it in a couple of long-lasting campaigns over the years, but it's far from the only way to design a campaign world run by dragons. To add with this, a larger focus on the idea of the Io's Blood Isles being invaded by dragon-hating humans might be in order as well. Now your party serves as elite agents for the Council of Wyrms, officially neutral to the machinations between the dragon clans, and charged with doing things that the dragons cannot do (or don't want to). Perhaps a better angle might be to go with refocusing the game on playing "draconic races" - dragonborn, kobolds, and spellscales to be the Fighter/Mage/Thief trinity in dragonoid format, plus half-dragon inspired subraces for dwarves, elves, gnomes and halflings for those who want a more conventional PC race. Speaking personally, I'm not sure if 5e could handle a "Dragon Class", with subclasses for either the original Common/Priest/Sorcerer/Psionicist Dragon kits of the original game, or for the distinct breeds of dragon.
Inspired by the thread on "when did you want to play a dragon", I thought it might be cool to talk about the possible ways one could revive the original dragon-playing setting of D&D to the latest edition of the game.
