Added Tuffy to the list of original Campaign Dragons.


From the list of the Coot invasions it also seems that the Egg of Coot and the Duchy of Ten have dragons serving their side.

According to the Blackmoor Rumormonger and Gazette #1, Gertie gave birth to five offspring in 1971. These young dragons were curiously of various colors and shapes*. Perhaps it is something unique to Gray dragons to give birth to dragons of any color, or perhaps all dragons of Blackmoor can do this? I am thinking that Sophie and Tuffy are likely two of Gertie's offpsring.

Garbage Pits of Despair describes how the Wizard of the Woods used magic to age/enlarge Sophie.

*= the different shapes bit is worth noting. Perhaps hinting at a sort of system found in Adventures in Fantasy for randomly generating head, body and tail types for dragons?

In 4e's Blackmoor sourcebook there is a black dragon named Deumat that features in the short stories Son of Flame and Son of Hak, that are the prologue and epilogue of the sourcebook. I was about to ask about him, in fact.

Nice find! These short stories also appeared in 3E's Peshwa sourcebook. Its been a while since I read that book.

Is there a way to determine the age of these dragons in years? How old is a Very Old Black Dragon?
