In this episode, I talk about a Gen Con AD&D game where I played a 5th-level fighter investigating some missing villagers. Classic setup... until it wasn’t. Turns out the culprit was a black dragon in a cave. I break down how the DM built tension, how the fight played out, and why black dragons make better villains than half the NPCs your players have ever met. If you’ve ever wondered how to run a dragon without it feeling like just another monster, this is the one to hear.
