Quote from: Dumarest;1018200Dragons have milk? I thought they were supposed to be reptiles. Hatching from eggs seems to be a clue. I have it on good authority they taste like chicken, although I've eaten alligator before and always figured that would be closer.

That's not the "milk" the supplement is talking about.

You can milk a snake, which means draining its venom.  So it could mean draining the dragon's venom, or the glands that let it breathe fire.

A merchant & Necromancer could also get an interesting skeletal companion after selling all the skin and meaty parts.

Then perhaps the supplement should use the correct word.

Is Poppy Milk, milk?

For reasons of politeness people may not have wanted to do so.

Ah, so you are talking about Dragon semen then?  Reproductive parts and fluids of different animals are kind of part and parcel of Alchemy/Witchcraft.

Correct. Of course, you could have bought the book and find out!

Someone has written a review of this product!

This pdf contains five half-pages of game information, plus the requisite covers and OGL statement. As befits a product supporting the OSR, mechanical rules are few.

There are subjects including what to use dragon teeth, droppings, etc., just like the cover states. There is mention of the Lion & Dragon RPG, but the information herein can easily be used for any OSR game.

I rated the supplement at 4 stars because the information is great, and spawns several potential adventure ideas as the PCs bring the dragon's corpse back to civilization. The value is well worth the $1 I spent. There seem to be a couple items missing that I would love to hear the author's take on - dragon bones and organs, such as the eyes or the heart. Granted, using this product as a guideline can get me traction in that regard, but it seems like using a femur to craft a javelin could be covered, if only to say "dragon bones are actually unsuited for crafting, being highly porous and delicate once the magical life energy of the beast dissapates upon its death." Which as I write this makes total sense, and will likely be my explaination should it ever come up in a game.

I am very happy with this purchase; it is getting printed and placed into my "GM Notebook of Miscellany" because my players don't always kill dragons, but when they do I want to have an answer for "Hey, can we collect some of it's breath acid?"

Quote from: RPGPundit;1016250Today, we give you RPGPundit Presents #13: Making the Most of Your Dragon Corpse!

You've slain the dragon: now what? Just steal the loot and head home?  In fact, in this short supplement (only 99 cents!) you can learn about a variety of special qualities that Dragon corpses have, which parts can be harvested for various purposes, and what you need to know to use them.

Discover the secret of dragonstone... it's not what you think!

And also the Dragon-Pearl and Milk-of-the-Dragon, essential ingredients for the Philosopher's Stone and the Elixir of life!

Anyways, check out this sourcebook, which can be used for EITHER Gonzo or Medieval-Authentic gaming (like Lion & Dragon).  You can get it from RPGnow, or on the Precis Intermedia shop.


And be sure to check out the rest of the RPGPundit Presents series!

I'm going to buy the product. It's a good price and looks interesting. Here's what we do now:

Hide: The dragon's hide makes excellent to superb armor, depending on the type of dragon. Skinning a dragon takes time and effort and then the hide has to be cleaned of fat and fluids and left flat to dry. Then it has to be tanned and made into suits of armor. Then the merchants skin the player-characters who never think they have profited enough.

Teeth: The dragon teeth turn into warriors when planted in the ground. What type of warriors and whom they will fight for is determined by rolling on a table. They will usually be very good but sometimes better and they will usually fight for you, but not always. They disappear one to four hours after being planted, so you can't test them.

That's a very creative use of dragon teeth!

Thank you. The _original_ table had some very gonzo possibilities. Sure, you could get four massive Norse warriors who would fight for you to the death (while singing music from the Das Rheingold) but you could also get The Yale Precision Marching Band who would play a halftime show while the combat stopped for thirty minutes.

And here I thought MY book was gonzo!

Old Warhammer RPG campaign.

The group had killed a dragon outside of the town we were at. And most of the characters were happy chopping up the Dragon for parts they could sell. Well my character was rather modest about things. She only took a couple of items to have made into weapons and armor.

Then after it was all torn down and taken away. My character asked: "What about the dung?" Other characters said. "Who cares about the dung?" So my character went to town, got as big a  cart as she could find, and then went back and piled on all the dragon dung she could.

She then went to the town's Dwarf Garrison. And went right up to the weapons smiths and said "Make me an offer!"

She got more money than the other characters did for all of the dragon parts simply for selling a big cart full of dung.

Dragon dung is the prime componant in dragon powder. The setting's equivilent of gunpowder. Which the settings Dwarves make.

Dragon Dung is a fundamental ingredient in Byzantine Dragonfire; the recipe is part of the magic system of Lion & Dragon.
