Not only are they like a flying tank, but they are off the charts smart as well and have damn long lives, if possible it's wise to interrogate a dragon before you kill it, they might know some shit worth knowing, plus they always seem to be sitting on some sweet ass loot. There is a reason dragons are in the title of the game indeed.

Well, the curse got me killed by a lunatic with a magic stick... your millage may vary based on how it interacts with your pre-existing curses.

Host a real time campaign on the MHF?

I created a few for my kids... pretty damn good if I say so myself.

It was a lot of fun actually... Used their playmobil sets as miniatures.

Got them up to about level 6 I think.

That being said creating and updating the characters, keeping track of hit points, spell counts, cash flow and kit...
It's exhausting work. Not to mention it takes hours!

Can't say I'm up to it... especially with Smitty threatening to punch you in the mouth if it doesn't go his way or turn into a dragon and eat the party every time he gets bored...

Best move is to try to convert the dragon to your side, then you're a dragon rider, and you can really kick some ass then, use the magic ring, force the dragon to kneel before it, slap a harness on him, presto, magical air force.

Do you even D&D bro?

If you're the "Dungeonmaster", you just do all the rolls behind the screen and call it as you want it, make it up as you go, nobody cares, so long as the story is good, and they get to figure out some puzzles and kick some ass with their magical weapons, all the technical shit is just a charade, a good DM just makes the story go, doesn't actually have to keep track of anything, keep it simple, no reason to keep track of "hit points", since you don't actually let the players die, if they roll a death card, you just fudge it behind the screen and carry on.

You run it like a casino, the players can take hits, but you never let them lose, otherwise the game is over and they all walk away. If the player is on his last legs, you pull whatever trick you need to, to keep him in the game, divine intervention or whatever, the Lady Galadriel appears in the darkness to save Frodo, just make it up.

Some DM's aren't that nice and go out of their way to kill your characters every once and a while. It's not like you can't bring characters back from the dead, it's D&D.

Like when one of the football players tries to play, and they cheat to kill his character off, in order to make him go away, which is how they get a shot in the mouth, and stuffed into a locker between classes later.

Exactly. I got jacked by a Dire Tiger when I was sleeping, was fucking bullshit. No one fucking heard the thing approaching because we all fucked up our perception rolls. Didn't even get a shot in, was dead before the battle even started, had like full hit points too as a Paladin with a fuck ton of HP for my level, still didn't fucking matter.
