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.

Quote from: Naburimannu;937667Naomi Novik had a series of novels on Napoleonic-era warfare with dragons that might provide good inspiration.

The Temeraire books mostly* had each dragon paired with/imprinted on a human "captain"; capturing the dragon's captain would generally lead to the dragon surrendering to assure the captain's safety. That would lend itself to more interaction with less high-powered NPCs (i.e., ordinary human society) and perhaps an Ars Magica style shifting among different kinds of PCs.

* depending on the human/dragon culture in question.

Novik's Temeraire series was the inspiration for my game. :D
