This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Today, 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!
LION & DRAGON: Medieval-Authentic OSR Roleplaying is available now! You only THINK you\'ve played \'medieval fantasy\' until you play L&D.

Don't forget, if you taste the blood of the dragon, you can understand the speech of birds!

That's not one of the ones I went with.

But the milk of the dragon is part of the elixir of life.

The Dragon is not a mammel, how exactly are you milking it?

One rumor has it you need to find a wizard who can mega-polymorph it into a dairy animal.

My firstthoughts was "taste his blood, steal the pearl, skin it and use the skin for dragonhide armour, use the dragon bones to fashion unbreakable weapons and powerful bows, put skull on display, and then paint the defeated dragon on your shields".
I might consider the supplement because of the milking, but am sorely disappointed Pundit didn't include the blood;).

That seems to be SOP -as well it should be. Besides, dragonhide armor is cool even if it has no special bonuses to stats (like the wanked-out dragonhide from 2E AD&D). It has the ultimate special property: It's a big sandwich board sign that reads:

I just killed a dragon and I'm wearing its skin, bitches!*



* Or I just killed the guy who killed the dragon and took his armor, bitches!
Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace

I dunno, I bet there'd be a market for erzatz "dragonhide" armor.  Just get a talented leatherworker and some lacquer, and you're in business!
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

Dragons 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.

No that's out of date theory.  Current thinking is that they were dinosaurs and therefore warm blooded.  Also they had feathered plumage, engaged in mating dances and liked to sing.

NB: Although this still doesn't explain how you would milk one.  I'd imagine they'd feed their young by regurgitating adventurers.
