>>44353264
Depends on the setting.
In some settings they were created to be mates but their moral differences caused them to split. In others they're Io split in two, in some they're eternal opposed forces given form.
Does anyone have other pictures like this?
Like deformed dragon, or ones that look not like your typical big firebreathing lizard.

>What role do dragons play in your world?
>Intelligent and likely malevolent super lizard?
This is probably the closest fit. I'm setting them up to be one of the first creatures to adapt themselves biologically to the essence of magic and use it extremely well. As a result, most of the humanoid races (and some of the intelligent beast races) began viciously hunting them for their raw resources (scales, leather, sinew, bone, blood, magic infused glands) and so instead of having them as some sort of singular terror icon, most populated areas tend to have a warm assertion about their forefathers taking on mighty dragons without fear along with scores of other men, basically a symbol of pride. As a result of all this, dragons are more or less small volume populated, though not endangered. When numbers are low, there is less competition for safe lairs and nests in unreachable perches, so they have a fallback to use every dozen generations when the Dragon Chases run their course.
I'm trying to make a somewhat believable dichotomy for dragon personalities in a sense that the ones that live closer to human populations are much more rough-lined and aggressive as necessitates in their lifestyle, though the ones who generally live in total seclusion might ponder a human without any consideration for conflict, if it came across one.
Gosh, there's so much more I want to put in here, but I have no idea how big the character limit isor how much people want me to shut up.
Thanks for asking, too. I always find that being asked a direct question is incredibly helpful in jogging the mind to consider something creative in design.
>>44370377
The first form of natural life to come after the advent of the gods, born of the debris from the interactions between gods as they operate in the setting, exclusively arcane creatures in composition.
Still subject to the general rules of natural selection, though, the vast majority of dragons have evolved into different kinds of creatures since their inception, with only the Blues and the Browns retaining their original form within the world the setting takes place on.
>>44372559
I like them as flesh elementals
>>44374690
By extension, the dragons of my setting are technically elementals in origin, in that elementals are infant gods and dragons are made of auto-animating god-debris. Though, true elementals of flesh usually are born from hell world/gods there in the form of demon or devil species, so I imagine there might be a flesh dragon somewhere out there, but it would be extremely rare.
>>44370377
Manifestations of the ultimate knowledge and sin. So wicked are they that their breath burns from without and within. Their blood is denied by the very earth, mutating and sickening all it touches.
>>44370377
Powerful beings of magic and elemental chaos whose blood is very potent and their language is inherit to those who carry it. Their legacy is felt throughout magic history and practices and is especially influential in draconic sorcerer bloodlines, the enigmatic dragonborn clans, and half-dragon abominations.

They used to all be giant, extremely powerful and long-lived abominations that dominated over much of the planet. Merlin, the greatest wizard to ever live, realize that this upset the balance of the world and cursedor maybe blessed, since they're had a lot of room to grow morally as a result of Merlin's actionsthem to be much smaller, much shorter lived, and much less powerful. They're still kind of angry at humans for doing that, but there's so few pure humans left that it doesn't really matter.

I mix the chimera neo-dragons from west Europe with the serpentine dragons of east Europe and Asia.
So they become semi-divine beings of order.
A dragon is only ever truly neutral so there are no good or bad dragons.
Kinda like satan in east European folklore where he tests the hero of the story.
If the hero is just and has a good heart he will pass the trial and win not only his soul back but also be granted a wish or power.
Before Christianity it was just dragons instead of satan.

To elaborate on this as well, i'm having difficulting finding a place for metallic dragons. I've done away with good and evil alignments, rather sticking with law and chaos instead.

>It's fantasy anon
I do, however, appreciate this point. I once read a book - must have been written 40 years ago in old epic fantasy fiction - that actually touched on this point as part of the story. In short, human mages pilgrimage to an known dragon enclave in order to learn magic from the natural masters, the dragons themselves. A clever kid who, naturally, has an incredible affinity for magic and intelligence, figures out that the dragons require a low level levitation spell to be cast any and every time they want to lift off the ground. Their mass is quite simply incompatible with flight. Goes down a path that implies the dragons aren't just natural masters of magic use, they rely on it to biologically survive.
Cool book, wish I could find out where it got to, among the other cool books I've been taking inspiration from.
>>44370377
They range from 'really dangerous wild animal with limited access to raw magic' to 'highly intelligent spiritual/elemental entities'
>>44370377
Dragons represent the ego of the cosmos, made manifest in the form of a serpentine body, a terrible breath, and an inhuman cunning.
Dragons prefer to make their lairs in places best befitting their elements. For instance, fire dragons tend to nest in places that are hot, such as volcanoes, while water dragons prefer underwater caves or tunneled-out glaciers. Most dragons rarely care about anything but themselves, unless it helps advance their personal agendas. These agendas typically involve amassing wealth, knowledge, or influence, with the goal of becoming the envy of other dragons. This, of course, makes a dragon's hoard a very tempting, albeit risky, target for adventurers and thieves.
Dragons are fiercely competitive and notoriously territorial, and many consider anything within their territory to be their possession.
Several species have descended from these "True Dragons," such as Wyverns, Hydras, and the mischievous Kobolds. True Dragons do not typically enjoy the company of these lesser dragonkin, with the exception of Kobolds, who often revere dragons as gods and help further the dragons' agendas. Dragons and Giants have long held a grudge against the other, ever since the Dragons came to the aid of the gods in their war against the Titans.

>>44421174
Love it, definitely an improvement from the last take. One thing, however. It seems a little weird to be relying on magic as much as you did, especially since it is set in the modern world. I feel like magic could clash with technology and make it a lot less believable, but that's just me.
>>44421174
This is pretty good. Apart from grammatical errors that don't really matter in the day and age of spellcheck, I can see a couple of parts where your explanation of events came from a concept or inspiration for how you want it to feel, though it was a little lacking due to how you ended up writing it ultimately. Looking up narratives techniques and increasing your vocabulary will improve this a hundredfold.
Now my most niggling issue with the story. The format. The decision to make it first person - with events unfolding at the present - make's it difficult for the reader to relax and allow themselves to be immersed in a story that has nothing to do with them (with phrases such as "I stand up", especially if it doesn't read like a diary [present tense, like I said]) and it ends up feeling a little awkward.
I'm not trying to put you down though, despite that, I read through it and enjoyed the use of emotion and facial expressions, even though I found nameless protagonist a little too over-the-top with rambling thoughts.
>>44421535
Personally, I don't think there's any justification for being down on a story that uses both science and magic (we don't *have* to ascribe to Harry Potter's "it just doesnt work together" dogma, do we?). As for it being less believable, it's fiction, so the reader rather relies on suspension of disbelief to immerse themselves in the story (this occurs without thinking), and only internal logic and reactions make the story less or more understandable. On that point, the description for what happens when oldmate dragon-bloke decides to scry? the protagonist with magic and truth spells and what not was great, although a little bit ambiguous near the end.
Suffice it to say, more effort and more pages, 7/10 would read your upcoming novel.

I have actually thought about dragons as PCs but the thing is that most fantasy settings don't make everything dragon-sized so they would either have trouble moving around or would have to polymorph themselves into smaller creatures like humans to get shit done, at which point what the fuck is the point of using them as PCs if all it's gonna do is hinder them.
Unless they were really tiny, a campaign starring really tiny dragons would be funny and make giant rats challenging.
>>44422482
any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic
>>44424911
Are you talking about something in your setting specifically, or magic in general?
Keep in mind, anon, magic isn't real. Stating those kinds of absolutes is meaningless, and has no bearing on fictitious settings (unless the writer wants it to).
>>44425412
It's a meaningless quote from a science fiction author used to justify pseudo-religious faith in technology.
Saying it with sincerity outs the person as having very little real world experience.
>>44425412
This is about the general case, which also applies to the real world (the stuff outside the window in your room). If you were teleported to the past but had your smartphone with you, people around you would think of it as a magical item, as they can't grasp the concept of electronics. They also would probably murder you.
Fantasy (dragon) stories are usually set in the past, as it is easier to deal with and seems more realistic to us. The reason it is more realistic, is because magic seems more plausible in the past, as there is less explainable stuff as time progresses forward.
Having a magical creature in the present time is a possible setting, but just more difficult to deal with, because magic gets less important, as technology advances forward.
>>44425538
The past? You mean like 60 years ago? Everyone would recognize anything i brought back. They would see a cell phone as an interactive television/radio combination. A computer as an interactive television, etc etc.
You're speaking of a narrative bias, not a historical basis. Maybe you shouldn't get reality from the mouths of fiction writers?
>>44424530
Dragon PCs would struggle with a lot of things human PCs wouldn't need to think about, but at the same time a lot of other problems would be quite trivial to a party of dragons. You could have some fun inverting the usual challenges as long as the players have reasons not to brute force their way through everything.
>>44425638
>You mean like 60 years ago?
no, before steam engines.
>>44425760
You said the past. You said people in the past would see what we have now as magical.
If that is the case, why does it have to be more than 100 years ago? Did something change? Is your assertion flawed?
>>44425440
Oh, I didn't realize. I guess I don't read the right kind of books. Feel a little dumb, now.
>>44425538
Two concepts are outlined here. Magic as a function of disbelief, and magic as a narrative element in fiction. You can assume they are the same thing if you like, but this is not the case, as the latter is simply an elaboration of fiction in general.
Fiction stories aren't set in the past because they are easier to deal with. It really isn't a case of science vs. magic. Plenty of fiction novels have been written in modern settings and even beyond modern settings and they do just fine. Magic will never be 'more realistic'. Sometimes authors choose to exhibit magic as the former concept where science really does get crazy advanced, some choose to keep it "im a wizard, aint gotta explain shit".
>>44425815
>why does it have to be more than 100 years ago?
Because of two reasons. The first one is education. Intelligent people tend to search for better explanations for stuff than assuming it's magic. The second reason is that we are the center of a bubble of technology. Everything outside of it does not exists and sometimes also can't be explained. We accept stuff that is close to that bubble as being possible even though we might not be able to explain it yet. Stuff that is too far away is deemed magic, or as in other terms, science fiction.
>>44425916
>Oh, I didn't realize. I guess I don't read the right kind of books. Feel a little dumb, now.
Just arthur c clarke books about physics and orangutan slaves. It's mental masturbation at best.
The whole magic from technology thing is just a psalm from the religion of the singularity.
>>44425638
Magic lies in the gap between describing something and understanding it. I can describe the properties of a magic wand, but I can't explain why it has those properties.
>>44425985
So if someone doesn't understand wifi (99% of the population) they see it as literal magic?
Do you know what supercilious means?
>>44426008
That's a subjective interpretation, and a pretty condescending one at that. What technology that you don't full understand do you see as literal magic? Can you explain wifi without google?
>>44426055
>Can you explain wifi without google?
You don't need to be able to explain something to debunk it as technologically possible and not magic. You are experiencing Wifi all the time. The same way that you experience any other form of wireless transmission. Most people also can't explain why light is particle and wave at the same time.
A lightsaber is an example of magic (or science fiction) as it defies the laws of physics. We simply can't make light (or more precisely plasma) stop in mid-air the way it is portrayed.
Whenever we see stuff that seems impossible we deem it as magic or science fiction.
People can't explain Wifi, but most have seen walkie talkies and will automatically assume, that the principle is similar. The human brain will desperately try to make anything thrown at it seem reasonable. If it can't it resorts to the idea of magic or another form of higher power.
>>44421535
I'm not quite sure I follow.
I'm not planning on putting any real conflict between technology and magic inside the story. The dragon is going to be the only character who uses magic, and otherwise everything will be fairly grounded in reality.
>>44422482
First person present tense was a personal challenge for myself. I absolutely hate writing in it, and I'm trying to improve.
I'll read over it again and try to chose my words better. Thanks for the advice!
I know it was probably intended as fetishbait, but for some reason I keep thinking about the concept of hammerspace dragons from, what, half a year ago? Little tiny dragons with some dimensional-shift magic built into them to let them consume and hold anything. Like a bag of holding but even bigger on the inside and probably mildly snarky.
Plus, it'd be sort of a symbiotic relationship between some of them and the adventurers with whom they travel - the tiny dragon gets physical protection in the form of adventurers, and the adventurers get a near-guarantee that whatever they let the dragon hold can't be stolen by a third party.And the bard vanishes from time to time.
>>44426055
>Can you explain wifi without google?
Not completely, but it's pretty much a transmission of EM waves at certain frequencies (probably highish ones, considering the speed and low range) used to transmit signals which are probably coded in the amplitudes or something. The receptor is sensitive to fluctuations on these frequencies, and so transmits the signal to the computer, where the message is decoded into usable information.
>>44426396
You're shifting the goalpost so much it's like it follows the uncertainty principle.
Are you saying that the difference between magic and technology is ignorance alone, and not some result of exponential progress?
Are you saying perpetual motion is going to be possible just because we think it's impossible today?
You seem really confused on what makes something magical.
>>44426055
>What technology that you don't full understand do you see as literal magic?
I'm a mechanical engineer. Pretty much anything past a transformer is voodoo in my opinion.

Yet you do not believe it is a form of magic?
Then why would any but the most foolish of person in any era suspect as such? Fucking lord kelvin wouldn't think a cell phone was magic, nor kepler, nor galileo, nor anyone with a working brain.
The whole concept is just a way of feeling special, not an actual fact.
>>44426520
>Are you saying perpetual motion is going to be possible just because we think it's impossible today?
Perpetual motion is possible. Take something into space and rotate it. Unless something collides with it, it will continue to do so forever. As soon as you want to get energy back from it you get into trouble, unless you are willing to destroy matter to actually "create" energy.
> Are you saying that the difference between magic and technology is ignorance alone, and not some result of exponential progress?
You still find people that believe the earth is somewhat about 6000 years old and humankind was put here by god. Ignorance is the key.
>>44426609
>Perpetual motion is possible. Take something into space and rotate it. Unless something collides with it, it will continue to do so forever. As soon as you want to get energy back from it you get into trouble, unless you are willing to destroy matter to actually "create" energy.
You know exactly what is meant by perpetual motion. A perpetual motion machine. Is that possible, just on the axiom that "saying something is impossible means it must be possible one day"?
Clarke had a quote for that too.
>You still find people that believe the earth is somewhat about 6000 years old and humankind was put here by god. Ignorance is the key.
People believe that space is the answer to everything and that we'll make a computer to save the world and give us an afterlife.
Ignorance, indeed.

There are people in this very thread who believe this. At most, i am quoting the delusional singularity enthusiasts.

I loved the concept of those, both for fetish and nonfetish reasons
And I do love the idea of them being an adventurer's companions/animal sidekick/coin purse
You got any ideas for them?
Now that you've reminded me I want to try stating one up after I get home from work

You can debunk this with a number.
Graham's number is too large to be stored in the observable universe.
> Indeed, like the last two of those numbers, the observable universe is far too small to contain an ordinary digital representation of Graham's number, assuming that each digit occupies one Planck volume
This is an example of something, that will stay impossible, no matter how you twist or turn it.

A friend and I are making a quick story about an adventurer group, mostly to practice our narrative writing. Said group is essentially:
>male Fighter leader, doing the quest for the goodly goodness of good
>male Bard, doing bard things. Probably comic relief-ish, but not in the slapstick manner - he'll end up being a foil to the Fighter's "everything is serious" demeanor
>female hammerspace dragon. Not too much planning for her yet, but part of her introduction involves letting the Bard try to retrieve a sheathed knife she swallows, mostly for purposes of showing off hammerspace dragon things
>female "mage" (actually archer/rogue), using basic alchemy and simple illusions to convince people her arrows are spells. She joins the quest purely for the reward, but at least she's honest about that.
They're gonna rescue a noble from some devious wizard or something.I plan to add a bit of vore as bonus chapters, sort of sidelong to the story.
As far as actually statting one, no clue. I've only ever been a player, not a GM, for a reason. I can't even munchkin minmax properly.

I hadn't even considered using one as a mobile base, that's pretty clever actually, wonder what special requirements a stronghold like that would need.
Huh, y'know a few of those infinite food larders from stronghold builders guide would mean you'd never have to feed your dragon
>>44428700
He's a vore fetishist. Ignore him.
>>44428881
Two of us. But >>44428700 does have an interesting idea, although you'd have to really rely on the dragon continuing to prefer you alive and allowing you to continue operations. If hammerspace dragons work the way I'd imagine they work, it'd be bad if she changes her mind about letting you do stuff in her while you're outside, and worse if this turn happens while you're in your base.
>>44429115
The city would provide some insurance against that happening, as she couldn't harm the party in there without destroying the whole thing. You still want to stay on good terms but the risk of betrayal is much lower.
>>44429115
What sort of child abuse gives someone a vore fetish exactly?
An chrome plug-in came out a long time ago that replaced the word cloud to butt. Although it was originally created for making stories about the cloud and internet data storage humorous it does wonders for the cloud dragon entry. My personal favorite is butt kill.

Don't be silly, everyone knows that's not what happens when a dragon sits on you. You justenter a new "dungeon"if you fail to dodge.

None, actually. I just find it fascinating (non-sexually) to watch snakes eat, and vore somehow grew out of that.

As >>44429298 pointed out, losing the base would probably prevent her from simply digesting the party, though I do like the idea a hammerspace dragon would have some sort of selective digestion ability but if a decently large base can fit in there it actually feels silly for some reason
I'd also assume her and the party would know and trust each other for a while before they start building it, so she'd probably let the party know they're having a problem before it gets to that point

I remember that thread, trying to stat that encounter was fun

>>44430134
>I do like the idea a hammerspace dragon would have some sort of selective digestion ability
The way I imagine it, the dragon's mouth/throat is sort of a silent portal to any one of the dragon's stomachs (like a selective portal to the Plane of Hammerspace Dragon Bellies), so a hammerspace dragon could keep their hoard safe while still being able to eat. Similarly, a group who doesn't think far ahead enough might distrust the dragon's kobold city enough to ask to be able to have their base elsewhere. At the expense of a bit more effort to make their base of operations less... stomach-like at first, they could have 99% privacy (dragon can still probably eavesdrop unless they soundproof the base or something). And also enable the dragon to get rid of them while sparing its kobolds if it so pleases, but that takes more forethought than might be given.
>>44430278
Seen it.
How weird do you like to get with dragons by design?
>>44430867
In general I prefer the standard Dragon body shape, beyond that it varies though most standard dragons would be the usual mix of reptilian body with a muscular and skeletal structure not unlike the big cats with a handful of strange varieties, though if dragons are supposed to be very rare going straight to strange and exotic isn't out of the question
>>44427664
no, that is concept art for the hobbit trilogy's Smaug
>>44424503
>>44430278
Personally I like the idea it's all one big chamber, like a living bag of holding but the dragon has enough control over it that it can pull up specific items or sort/manipulate the contents, as well as control how tight or acidic it is in places. It would be possible to go deeper in and build their base away from the town though
>>44430278
Expanding on this because autism:
When a hammerspace dragon swallows something, there are essentially three stages.
First is, of course, the mouth. Anything it plans to consume can appear to shrink quickly within a small radius before the back of its throat, until it is thin enough to fit naturally into the throat. To an observer, this looks as though the prey is being sharply pinched near its jaws; to prey being eaten head-first, it can appear as the dragon's mouth rapidly getting bigger to engulf them. This rapid size change is not uncomfortable, nor can it damage the prey's structural integrity any more than pressing on the target gently - however, many may find it unnerving to watch their lower parts nearly vanish into a tiny dragon, even when being consumed willingly.
Secondly, the inside of the throat can seem to be endless to the prey, although in rare cases, a dragon has been known to allow his prey further without first having his prey fully inside his throat. Swallowing motions are not always present from an external view of the dragon's neck, with their existence seeming to happen more frequently with smaller prey and objects to consume; regardless of outside-visible motions, prey is always affected by peristalsis. There doesn't seem to be a limit as to how long a dragon can keep his prey in his throat, but it must always be a journey from mouth to stomach or vice-versa - hammerspace dragons can't regurgitate while swallowing and vice-versa, although separate things can be swallowed and reach the dragon's stomach(s) at times independent of when they were eaten.
Third is, naturally, the stomach. They can vary widely in size and if they're filled with acids or not. Prey held in a stomach do not necessarily experience outside motion, e.g. a dragon rolling over doesn't cause his prey to turn upside-down, too. He can hear what his prey says if he chooses to listen.
I feel like I'm missing something.

>>44431202
Knowing these people, probably the full body latex shit where they have to breath through a snorkel.
Or a fully delitized dragon bound in tight rubber rope, fully delitized and loving it.
Being a furry is the gateway to all of the sickest fetishes ever conceived of by man.
>>44431039
>I feel like I'm missing something.
Maybe something about how they can select specific objects to regurgitate back up? Doesn't really look like there's anything missing, though the bit about swallowed objects can reach the stomach at different rates does seem odd
>>44431180
I am not uninterested in said weirdness then
>>44428700
Being in a pocket dimension, the base itself is completely secure, but there is a risk of the pocket collapsing if the dragon gets hurt. A dragon of any size is likely able to protect itself from wildlife, but using the base would be risky in a dungeon.
Of course, using the vendors would still be possible from outside; the dragon could simply tell them to pass out whatever you needed, so it's not really a problem apart from resting and transport.
