Good luck with the Kickstarter MrRhexx 👍👍 If I could make a suggestion, I'd think it'd be interesting if you put out a video of you DMing a session of it. Recently I played a non-D&D RPG ("Alice is Missing") for the first time, and as part of my game prep for it, I watched it's creator run the game for a few friends. It really helped me get an better grasp on the tone, theme, and style of the game, so if you're able, maybe it could serve you as a dynamic way of enticing more potential buyers. Just a thought, and btw, awesome video as always 👍

I've already decided Venomfang has heard of this illusion and is infiltrating silverymoon as the Soap Opera man and the local mages are flustered that a man is the exact copy of their illusion. And Venomfang the much younger dragon is trying to catfish the older dragon by stealing the illusion soap opera as his own persona. So the only one who's not in the loop is the ancient dragon...

Any dragon who is willing to spend their shiny gold is undragonly. That in conjunction with her humanophile tendencies make her such a disgrace to proper dragons that she may well be frail enough to die. Everyone knows only the mortal races suffer from killabillity, so this dragon must be a wyvern. Or worse, she may be a zmey. In all seriousness, you're right.

Claugiyliamatar adopting a bunch of children so she can raise them to be wizards is such a fun idea to me. Imagine how confused the residents of Waterdeep, not to mention any players wrapped up in this story, would be to discover that an academy for wizards has popped up just down the road, is being run by an ancient evil dragon, and yet only exists so said dragon can live out her human fanfictions. Then they investigate the place and find out that the wizards aren't even evil, they just really care about making their adopted dragon mom happy.

Honestly, aside from her penchant for going out of her way and *killing* adventurers, this dragon sounds like she would be insanely fun to interact with. She fantasises about living a different life where she's a beautiful and powerfull human woman but is also completely afraid of the outside world (lol) , loves watching court intrigue like a tv show, has an interest in a field she's inept in and literally owns her own harem She's an isekai protagonist if I've ever seen one.

[@AJPickett]

Campaign idea, your adventurers are the characters inside the made-up illusion that Claugiyliamatar has been watching avidly for months, the plot twists are kind of soap opera, mainly during adventure down times, but the dungeons delved and monsters fought are quite serious! (The monsters are character the dragon likes, so the odds are in their favor).

[@couchcommandoiv5528]

I can see one of the PC that thinks an NPC is swell, only to randomly hear "You IDIOT, she doesn't even like you!" all in the cadence of a terrifying dragon

[@shishoka]

Better idea: The players are characters in Waterdeep, and you reveal all these soap opera style occurances in court and the ramifications they cause farther down the line that may affect things for players or not. Regardless, they keep hearing about them and that one NPC that seduces all the women in power. See how long it takes the players to figure out they're in the illusion.

What is this, a cross-over episode?? (I love it when my I’m a fan of a fan)

She sounds like a cartoon villain. A very scary and competent one, but most of her shenanigans sound like things that you expect to see a typical bad guy of a looney toons show do for completely petty resons. The only difference is that she gets away with it.

[@RandMantearTheDragon]

And the eating people.

[@DJl3iohazord]

She give off the “boss lady” energy. Like if she becomes human/dragon thing I think she would start an mlm. Also she would probably have an obsession with pumpkin spice latte and comfy sweater and cozy houses with a bunch of plants and call herself a “plant mommy”. She would say stuff like “YASS QUEEN SLAY IT” while watching her soaps.

[@davisiotta489]

Isso foi extraordinariamente específico Você tá bem?

[@GameJames-Arkveveen]

I thought Arveiturace was the best evil dragon, but THIS is the best one. It shows just how complex dragons can be, just as complex as people. What motivates her is honestly wholesome ( heh, mostly ), enjoying the lives of people in cities and wanting to be a part of that... even if that means causing mischief, and wanting to rule over them. Dragon lovers like myself have been eating really good with these last few videos. Thank you!

[@TheHornedKing]

They invented an illusion based TV to distract a dragon with soap operas. That's hilarious.

[@Animefan5890]

She's actually not the most evil dragon out there o.o, id actually be extremely interested in playing a CN/LE child of hers that seeks to grant her wish and actually endeavor to protect their "mother" from those who would ignore far more dangerous threats.

[@coolgreenbug7551]

Or if you just include her in a non combative role in a campaign, I guarantee you a PC would try to get her that wish

[@kriddius]

And in true fashion of someone raised by a green dragon, you'd keep that little tidbit of information to yourself or bury it under some clever lies

[@Tau_-Volantis]

Or if there was a campaign where the PC must rescue her from a more dangerous threat. Like a purple dragon cabal with an ancient purple Draco lich as it's leader trying to do a conquer the coast from Waterdeep to Baldur's Gate. Or a particularly dangerous beholder. Or both. The dark alliance. Like from the video games.

[@haku8135]

I have literally made a character that's a 10 year old girl, and I STRAIGHT UP think she's more evil than this ancient green dragon.

Wait. Isn't "The Creeping Doom" her freaking neighbor. One of, if not the, most powerful dragon in Dungeons and Dragons to exist to date. So many story potentials. What if they had a little spat, she might hire the PC to help her resolve the issue. After all, as powerful as she is, even she wants to not piss off a dracolich that can go toe-to-toe with many gods and win. Though he might be too strong in that case. Bugger has more spells than most people have gold. He might be more an end of the world scenario if that happened.

It's possible the manor was outside of the city wall which if I'm not mistaken the barrier is only around the walled area of the city, there's plenty of farmland and countryside manors all over Faerun.

[@skarletfenrir6979]

To be fair the Dragon ward seems to be used in stories only when useful like in the Aquisitions Inc. adventure to prevent you from having a Bronze Wyrmling as an ally in Waterdeep any other time the ward is never brought up hell there are at least 2 Steel Dragons that live in Waterdeep and we know for a fact that at least 1 of them was never given access to the city and yet she lives in it. I dont remember her name but she is known as the Wyrm of many spells and was a rival of the original Blackstaff who if im not mistaken was the only person able to give a Dragon access to Waterdeep and could take it away at any time and yet she can come and go whenever she wants even in her Dragon form so its not just her shapeshifting

[@patchlasses5649]

Judging by the pattern of these past few videos, the next one is going to be about an Ancient Red Dragon. First there was the blue, then the black, even though he's technically a dracolich he was a black dragon first, then a white, and now a green.

What a great character. An absolutely terrifying foe to be sure, but she's obsessed with anonymously scheming. I wonder how powerful her organizations are - she swindles large piles of gold, and then spends it to build her influence. She no doubt spies on everyone in her employ, enables their schemes, manipulates their ambitions, and always ensures their loyalty. It would be terrifying -- if her end goal wasn't to live among Waterdeep and bring the soap opera illusions into reality. And adopting children and raising them benevolently ...wow. What a play. Imagine a world where she succeeds, becomes Queen of Waterdeep, and continues the orphanage/wizard school. Simultaneously, of course, running the underworld, engaging in 5D political intrigue, and spending every second paranoid watching and guarding against attacks. In some ways, Waterdeep might prosper. It would be filled with corruption, and everything and everyone would be tied to and dependent on her - but if she sees that ruling benevolently will increase her soft power, she'd do it.

That probably would be the plot device for an adventure...

[@andrewsowl8696]

Born in the wrong body, cursed with an evil upbringing that she’s tried so hard to outgrow…. So said every 2ed drow lol

[@gorgit]

Whaat, petty know it all beings that sometimes act unreasonable and prideful? Never heard of that one before mate

[@TengrioftheCrimsonSky]

@@gorgit you forget ancient AF, even if she couldn't get the item herself it's more than just prideful once you hit millenia in age to bypass a solution to your own detriment. There's writing for kids then there is an adult hobby that was basically built upon adult themes and while I know I might earn a gasp or a sigh I doubt the hobby is getting better by changing terms and softening the actual reality of warfare, politics and actual plot lines. Yes my party might go full meme mode and burn down a tavern and decide the barmaid and her two minute backstory is more intriguing to their current characters interests but that doesn't mean I can't use a better plotline again later or have it progress naturally in the same storyline. TL;DR- lazy writing being excused because it's not uncommon doesn't make for a better hobby.

[@gorgit]

@@TengrioftheCrimsonSky I think its completely fine and in the lines of making enough sense to accept, but each to their own I guess. Cheers

I loved learning about this legendary old monster.

[@wingwalker007]

Yes, yes, yes…. It’s always a good day when we get a new vid from MrRhexx!

[@palehunter6711]

Hell yea! Gotta love these dragon vids! I want to fight all of them bit this one in particular sounds like a super fun campaign.

[@JanusHoW]

Old Gnawbone can appear in the published D&D campaign _Storm King's Thunder_ as an optional encounter of sorts. In the sourcebook's "suggested encounter" for her home of Kryptgarden Forest, she'll soon appear if the PCs wander into her forest, but won't immediately attack. If the PCs can hold back, she'll tell them where they need to go to start dealing with the problem of the giants - after all, dragons hate giants and she'd want nothing more than for them to settle the hell down so she can get back to her soap operas. But if the PCs (foolishly) attack her, she'll breathe her 22d6 poison gas breath weapon on them and then leave. She can also cast as an 8th level druid, and can innately cast Invisibility, Legend Lore, Protection From Energy and True Seeing each once per day.

Our party recently fought Claugliamatar. And it was one hell of a boss fight In a previous fight with an ancient Red Dragon, unbeknownst to us, she was scrying us, studying our battle tactics. So she crafted the battlefield to specifically counter us. All of us were having to use our turns to counter what she was doing or what her minions were doing or trying to save the NPCs caught in the crossfire. We eventually prevailed. But it was an awesome fight. We went in thinking "we just took down a dragon, and red dragons are supposedly the strongest, so what does old gnawbones have that he didn't".... A brain.... And knowledge about all our classes, spells, subclasses, and tactics. Claugliamatar was so much harder than Phyrrus was, even though we had poison resistance. And no I don't consider it bad play that the dragon had "metagaming" knowledge. It made perfect sense at least to me, so I wasn't upset at the DM and didn't consider it any more metagaming than me buying 4 potions of poison resistance was (one for each party member except myself, because I was a dwarf)

[@downdogy9099]

Gnaw bone is my favorite dragon out of all of them and I want to make a campaign about her now I'm thinking an idea where her child plan works out kinda and she gets something similar to what she wants and the party needs to prove its her

[@reapersritehand]

My brother use to do that on star wars galaxies, he'd buy up every cheap ore/weapon/what have you from the market then relist it at double the price, I asked him why and his answer was "he who controls the spice controls the galaxy " and that was my first economics lesson on supply and demand, fucker got rich in game off of that

[@357Dejavu]

Green and Copper dragons are my favorites! Thanks for this video!

[@Seoul_Soldier]

I would happily work for this dragon. She seems like she honestly just wants retainers, to be desired, and to enjoy the soap opera of Waterdeep. Very odd for an evil green dragon, so she has my spellbook at her command.

[@fitz8923]

Mr Rhexx: I apologize for the video delays! Me, a CGP Grey fan: * tears * bless your soul 🥲

[@drewforchic9083]

When you get to Klauth, as I'm sure you will, please cover the fact that he's insanely huge. I feel like almost every source that talks about him never mentions in writing the fact that he's like 600 feet long.

[@DaveButtons]

@MrRhexx sir, you have really out did yourself. This video is great and the research in it must’ve been extensive. I’m casually listening to this on my way to&from work and I’ll definitely jam this again on a lazy Saturday morning, again. Hat’s off to you🎉
