SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

I'm aware of a few, from D&D 3rd Edition forward.  Are there any good ones, that are more OSR in nature?

My favorite is Council of Wyrms, for 2nd ed AD&D. It has fantastic background, especially for dragons as PCs in an intriguing background.

That's interesting.  Pricey, but definitely interesting.  There are a few examples on Amazonk.  Some have some missing contents.  The cheapest examples are listed at $80.  Most are listed at $138 and up.

I'm fond of 3E's Draconomicon myself, mostly because I like Lockwood's art and some of the concept stuff for how a dragon works biologically is interesting.

I'm confident you can find the PDF out there for sale, you do not need the boxed set as there is nothing in the boxset is required that isn't textual related or can't be printed out.

I own 2 copies of the boxed set.

Savage Dragons for Savage Worlds. It was created for the prior edition, but should still be servicable for SWADE.

Thank you.  The archived piece provides a great starting idea.  I'm not interested in running dragon pc's, but dragon hatchling npc's would be a cool idea.
