For a game called "Dungeons & Dragons" there is a shocking lack of both dungeons and dragons
-
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.

As someone who has played alot of Call of Cthulhu there is a distinct lack of Cthulhu. But I am presently playing Traveler and let me tell you something - there is A LOT of traveling.

Tell your DM you have a fever, and the only cure is real dungeons and dragons with cowbells.

I recommend Kingmaker, then. There is a lot of exploring of new paths and a bit of king making.

Everyone else gets the roadside discount dungeon experience with plastic monster chotchkes for loot drops and pugs and chihuahuas dressed up in skeleton and dragon costumes.

Give me a tarasque before you even consider offering me a competent dragon

Dragons are pretty high level-threats in D&D, which most players rarely get to fight because most campaigns don't last that long. Which does make it a bit weird to name the entire franchise after such a rare enemy.

Not always the best, but often a lot of fun
