The adventures can be used separately, dropping into or sprinkled into your own games, or strung together to create a dragon-themed campaign. There are ten adventures, each one focusing on a different colored dragon, and prefixed by a short history piece of that dragon. Overall they cover character levels 1 &#8211; 12 with each adventure supposedly playable in 1 or 2 gaming sessions and the characters advancing after each one.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Dungeons &amp; Dragons, in its many iterations, has shaped and molded each dragon type to create something unique and personal (personal from the dragon&#8217;s perspective) along with flowing that design throughout its many supplements, creating a homogeneous design. <em>Dragon Delves<\/em> continues and advances those efforts by denoting how each type of dragon has evolved over the years and what they&#8217;ve become, creating the unique design they are now. The dragons included are &#8211; Green, Gold, Silver, Brass, Bronze, Red, Black, White, Copper, and Blue.<\/p>\n<p>Although dragons are at the central theme of each adventure, they are not always the antagonist; they are simply the central figure. Additionally, some of the adventures can even be played solo. Adding a bit of fun to the book, each adventure is not only thematic in the dragon, they are also thematic in their artwork. Each one has a unique artwork approach to the adventure, somewhat coinciding with the overarching theme of the adventure (the non-dragon parts of the adventure&#8217;s theme). Each one has a locale with an on-page map and described locations, much like you would expect from every WotC adventure. The only difference is that each one sticks to a localized theme, closes out cleanly, and allows you to move on, going wherever you want.<\/p>\n<p>I like this book; I think the thematic design is fun but it also provides a GM with very specific adventures that can be dropped into their own campaigns. I know I&#8217;ve seen third-party products do similar design methodologies and be very successful. But dragons are iconic Dungeons &amp; Dragons and a central theme for Wizards of the Coast; it is only logical that they would produce a book that focuses on dragons.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s really nothing here for players, unless you really like to horde books with supplemental material about dragons, but there&#8217;s lots here for GMs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Delves Dragon Delves is an epic fantasy adventure anthology for Dungeons &amp; Dragons, published by Wizards of the Coast and designed by Amanda Hamon [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58918,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1935,4],"tags":[55,336,3521,56],"class_list":["post-58916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","category-rpg-news","tag-dungeons-dragons","tag-epic-fantasy","tag-headline","tag-wizards-of-the-coast"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/58918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
