Plz you make it seem like I made bad decisions. | ||

EDIT: asmo? any reason you picked brass to mirror poison as opposed to Copper (who when oxidized turns green, and would allow some metaphoric comparisons to the green mirror) This is a good point, but most of my reasoning was ease/practicality. I feel like Gold/Red are great foils, and Brass is the third Fire breather. Green is the only Poison breath. Thus, Brass becomes poison instead of switching Copper to Poison AND Brass to Acid (I think that's right). | ||

It's a little bit weird because while Red/Gold and White/Silver oppose one another based on similar aspects, it's not the same for the others. The other 3 are actually associated with opposing aspects/domains rather than similar ones. For example Black/Brass is more Fire vs. Water--even though Black Dragons breath acid, they're elementally water-aligned and the regions they preside over are water-focused--like swamps (they don't have a "water" breath weapon because thematically that's harder to sell as being dangerous, so acid is associated with water-based attacks). That's why it feels weird that Brass seems like it's the odd one out because it's the 3rd fire-associated Dragon, but that's because its opposing chromatic species is associated with water, not fire. It fits better than opposing Black with Copper because even though both are acid-breathers, they have completely different elemental affinities that are neither similar nor opposing, so it doesn't actually make much sense. Elementally Green is associated with the wind/air (the poison breath seems weird, but again that's because it's hard to conceptualize an "air" breath weapon), so it makes sense that the diametrically opposed species is associated with the earth (Copper). EDIT: Interestingly, even though Blue Dragons and Bronze Dragons have matching breath weapons (both breathe lightning), they actually have opposing domains, since Blue Dragons are earth elemental and associated with dry land (particularly deserts), and Bronze Dragons are water elemental and associated with oceans and the sea. | ||

This is what I get for following breath weapon information too closely... I probably could've looked further into their standard lairs and caught that connection. | ||

Yeah but the idea of Draconic ascension (gaining wings, further powers) came from you buddy. Thanks for the inspiration.  | ||

EDIT: watching the vod because i missed the start: asmo at the start of the a session with no DM lead (someone giving a quest or something like that) maybe offer a few vague suggestions in your intro "will they seek rest outside of the cave or try to find civilization or Something Else", just automatically helps start the conversation. if you want examples, Adam Koebel does this very well when he's DMing for JP's Rollplay group. | ||

That's it. I have to fix my audio input on XSplit because I swear I kept that mic so far from my face most of the time. T_T | ||

T_T try raising the volume threshold that your mic picks up so it will only pick up speech and not PFFFFFFFT when you have the audacity to expel spent air from your lungs. | ||
