For a game called "Dungeons & Dragons" there is a shocking lack of both dungeons and dragons (piefed.social)

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.

FYI: you can throw a dragon at any party at any time as a non-combat encounter or as a natural disaster they aren't supposed to be able to fight or control

Good point.

Counterpoint: Many groups have trouble discerning between a regular encounter and an encounter they aren't supposed to fight.

Yeah, my DM threw a young white(I think) dragon at us pretty early in the campaign. It wasn't meant to be a fight we won, we were only meant to drive it off and possibly have a sidequest type thing to go loot it's lair later.

It tried to fly away. We teleported into the air after it, and I clung to it's back and kept dropping divine smites in it until it died. Was fantastic.
