For a game called "Dungeons & Dragons" there is a shocking lack of both dungeons and dragons (piefed.social)

I've played a lot of D&D over the years. Hundreds of hours.

But these so-called "dungeons"? No captives. Not even any cells. That's not a dungeon. that's a glorified cave.

And don't even get me started on the dragons. Dragonborn? Sure, I've seen plenty. Heard my fair share of Draconic. And wyverns are fairly common I suppose but that's like pointing at all the dogs in the world and saying "we're infested with wolves!"

I'm beginning to feel like I've been lied to all this time.

We kept readying actions! Used cover, avoided grouping up, tried distracting it, begged pleadingly, etc. as well. All that did was cause the dragon to choose two squishies to kill before the others. Prepping would have been an excellent idea, but in our defense, we were very dumb

    Ah, the bane of all adventurers: planning. Why waste time with thinky-think when big stick already hit good?

    Though our party of three didn't include any ranged weapon characters (and my druid was the only caster), so we'd have been completely screwed if the dragon didn't fail a save before I ran out of spell slots. A strength save, so our own "plan" was a stupid gamble that only paid off due to luck.
