    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 asked our DM to avoid using flying enemies after a dragon tpk’d us by breath weaponing and retreating for 30 rounds. 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.

          On top of that old dragons in disguise meddling with human society make good NPCs... which the players will not find out until much later. So even when they meet Dragons -even ones not antagonistic- early on they will rarely realize it...

              Best part of Traveller is character creation.

                      There's pseudodragons and whelps that can easily be low level encounters. I threw a green dragon and a bunch of flying kobolds at my level 3 party and they easily won the fight.

                        Supposedly some sources in the past claimed his wife made the pick, but wiki says it was his daughter. Given how many variants I've seen over the years to avoid a copyright, it seems a good choice. Even became well known for the name by people who didn't understand it, like Jack Chick readers.

                          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.

                              You made me realize Balder's Gate 3 does in fact contain ample dungeons and even multiple dragons.

                                It really depends on who your DM is. I have not yet played a campaign without either dungeons or dragons. A gold dragon is typically the one giving us quests, which requires delving into dungeons.

I recently ran a group of high school kids through The Shattered Obelisk Phandelver and Below, which has a dragon in it. The group kept avoiding the area with it. I finally had it make an appearance to save their bacon.
