Red. It was specifically Y Ddraig Goch, if I'm honest, rather than even a generic red dragon, because apparently if I'm asked to imagine a dragon without any context I'm going to imagine the iconic Welsh red dragon. On the second prompt, with the dragon, the bottle, and laughter, the dragon was a small purple dragon resembling a seahorse with fairy-style wings laughing with glee at having tricked whoever currently had possession of the bottle, cursing them in the process (Maybe an imp in the bottle style thing, probably something more immediate)
Same, no color, next time give us a bit of a pause or talk for a moment before dropping the question. 😂 all I can tell you is it was a faerie dragon; Thank you every much AJ pik.
My dragon was red, unless I have a descriptor provided, anytime someone says dragon, I think of a red one. I have benefited from this series quite a bit, your videos always inspire me or give me something to think about for my next session. I am really enjoying this series, as it gives me new strategies and methods to plan my adventures and overall campaigns.
I envisioned a white dragon because i'm currently GMing a Pathfinder AP where the players will eventually face said white dragon, so it's been on my mind.
Mine was the most recent dragon that I used in a game, specifically red, but he used spells to add white and blue to his scale colours (which gave him elemental resistance vs cold & electricity, and more armour)
Guy: I want you to imagine a dragon. Me: Imagines a dragon. Guy: What colour is your dragon? Me: ... a colourless dragon? Not colourless as a grey, or transparent. Just a dragon, which does not have any colour. Is that acceptable!?
- Green. - Yes, I benefitted. All dry jokes asides, many of your advices have hit home and helped me keep my motivation and continue improving my campaign.
Well it was a red dragon. I have benefitted from your videos and fortified my enthusiasm and love for beeing the DM. I have been watching your videos since 2018 and they helped a lot. Thank you.
The dragon I imagined was brightly colored like a tropical bird. The experience section of this really resonated with me. I work in a very technical line of work and have in the past been working on projects for so long without success that my frustration boils over and tools get thrown. I can vividly imagine the NPC building the catapult or contraption and it not working and just the sheer amount of frustration they feel at the stupid thing not working even though they had done it a dozen times before.
Hello there, My mind generated several various shapes of a red dragon in a quick succession. Also thanks for introducing me to World anvil and Project deios. Loking forward to next mapping it out. Edit: I watched the rest of the video and it is top notch as always. I especialy benefited from the Banana, because I often cling on a idea and get stuck on an insignificant detail :)
My dragon had no color, neither was it big or small, it smelled of nothing and it's roar was silence. In fact it was just the concept of a dragon. Aphantasia is a physical condition, that has nothing to do with wanting or not wanting to imagine. Just as a paralyzed man can't get out of his wheelchair and walk only because he believe enough, I cannot imagine things only because I try hard enough.
Hey I feel you. Though I do not think we are as helpless as you describe, it is frustrating to think of something that is perfectly clear in your mind and not be able to associate any details with it. "Think of a dragon!" "Yes!" "What color is it ?!" "...you only said dragon !" Reading through the comments after watching the video made me want to consciously add detail to my dragon, so I DECIDED that I WANT it to be some kind of dark/deep blue and to have it's wings partly attached to it's arms. I still cannot really picture it but I can think of it in concept and If my concept is cool it's good for me
I've always had a grand imagination, I could build a fully fleshed nation with history and mythos on a whim. I could create NPCs on the fly, see them, hear them, understand what and why they were. Then, one day, literally overnight, I woke up and it was gone. I couldn't imagine anything, no new scenarios, no new people or places nothing. I could barely force myself to continue DMing a campaign I'd been running, and having fun running, for a few years. I couldn't get into computer games at all, I've enjoyed playing them for nearly forty years. I no longer found books or movies entertaining. Basically, almost everything I'd ever enjoyed doing is boring now. I don't know why, nothing of note happened at that time, there had been no lead up. One day I was fighting between working out the details of an encounter and playing whatever computer game it was that had my interest at the time, then the next day both were boring and pointless.
I learned to take a different approach to my BBEGs that helped beautifully: HOW. The ancient lich has amassed an army of goblinoids. How did he get the goblins onto his side? The goblins joined his cause as they became pushed out of their own lands, due to a rise in the troll population. How is he providing for them? At first, he uses the wealth that was his from when he was alive, but now, with an army, comes trade, as well as raiding others, and conquest. He raises any who fall as undead. How did no one see him coming? He was sealed away in the tomb he rose in. How did he rise? Careless adventurers were in the process of robbing the tomb, and broke the sealing circle that held him in check when they saw the vast treasures before them, those heroes have now been raised as powerful undead under his direct command. You can keep doing this stage by stage to create a vastly more fleshed out villain, and create a deeper, richer campaign by simply trying to come up with the hows and whys of your main antagonist.
Your videos have really helped me become a more relaxed GM and having loads more fun at the table. I already had a wild and vivid imagination before I started GM-ing, but switching from planning everything to only planning for what the NPCs would like to do (not what they will do, mind you) and the creating a setting, I've found that my imagination and thinking has become faster and more natural. Now the struggle has become having the time to take notes that make sense to me.
Thank you for this video. Can not agree more with you on the "active listening" part. People in general just do not do that, they do not listen to what the other is saying. To some extent, we can even go into "active watching" and really focus on what we see. So thank you for reminding all of us, this part. Also, for the young generation, please pay attention to this: no watching your phone is not going to bring you inspiration nor Imagination. What I mean by this is that you are watching what others are imagining. If you want imagination, you need to read, you need to be in silence, you need to be bored, and let your mind create for you. If you do not go through this process, then imagination or inspiration will not come to you.
You and the folks you work with have been one of the best resources I’ve come across since picking up the hobby. A really insightful, well-rounded, and fresh take on the...massive amount of topics a ttrpg can cover. You’re doing great work out here, and I really appreciate the effort you’ve been putting into the community. 🤘
A green dragon came to mind first. Thanks for all you do. I may be adding a crooked mustached shopkeeper to my campaign. He's trying to find or discover the perfect mustache wax!
Im loving this series and would have purchased the book already if it wasn't for currency conversion. It's currently costing as much as 2 basic books in BRL, so it has to wait a couple years =(
I started watching this yesterday at work and had to stop, so I started watching it again. My dragon was red yesterday and today it was blue. Hopefully I'll get past the first minute this time :-) You're such a great inspiration to my games!
My Dragon was red. And I benefitted a lot from many of your videos! I was playing for nearly 20 years before becoming a GM myself and have to say that you helped a looot in developing my skills. I will defenitely get the book!
I just thought about Imagine Dragons because the memes have fully consumed me. And also their music is pretty good. While I don't have a DND group to implement any of your advice with, your videos do help me think about things in ways I normally don't, so that's good I guess.
I've just begun work on a new campaign and was looking for ways to make something a bit more off the wall and unusual when I stumbled into the video. I have to say the bits about research are my favorite, and what I've always used for my world building. The random button on Wikipedia leading me down the rabbit hole of events, people, places, etc has been a well of inspiration. However the most useful part I found was your section on free-form association. I've never thought of a method like that, and I had to sit there and re-watch that section several times. After which I was blown away at the sort of leaps and bounds my brain could create. It's an entirely different way of thinking than I'm used to. Overall this video was fantastic, I'm really looking forward to creating a new world with these methods.
you say think of a dragon: me = thousands of dragons from many world cannons and art stand alone's dragon fill my mind (quickly narrowed to D&D species).... the rest of the video "I do that for fun....?" laughing dragon bottle = a (evil) pseudo dragon with a pixy they torment by keeping it in a bottle .... BANANA!
Red dragon, a classic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yes, I found your channel when I started formulating how to run a full campaign for the first time, after stepping into the GM chair for a handful of random one-shot sessions. I have now been running an epic campaign for 3 years since!
"I want you to picture a dragon" *me, starts thinking* "Was your dragon..." *starts listing off colors* Me: "I hadn't even begun to shape one!" Aphantasia SUCKS Edit: Also, can I just say that you look absolutely fabulous!
My dragon was a skeletal one (so technically invisible, minus the bones?), and Guy has really helped me get a better understanding of the finer points that are very often overlooked. He's one of the first channels I suggest to people who want to be DM, when even players can benefit from some of his videos!
My Dragon was dull-iron, in the very first frame of mental animation. Hopefully not an indicator of a dull imagination. Your advice is easily applicable and self-evident, the sort of stuff that makes me think "why couldn't I come up with that?". When it hits me like that, it lets me know I can have confidence in what I think I am learning.
My dragon was golden, not metallic, just colored. When you said add a bottle and laughter. My dragon was opening a blue bottle releasing thick red smoke. It was an evil djinn laughing, because he was rather happy to be out. Good vid.
- What colour was the dragon that you inagined? And starts to tell the colours, Red, green, violet, I'm like "tell rainbow also" - tells rainbow :Surprised_pikachu_face: But um, yeah, my answer is "loud" xD and warm. As i didn't imagined his picture, i imagined his warm breath as he LOUDLY breathed on my neck 😂😂😅😅
You made me actually wonder how many people during the bubonic plague walked around believing it didn't exist. May have only been 1...who quickly died...but curious
I'm not a D&D player anymore, but the first one was still the Larry Elmore's red one from the front of D&D Red Box... It quickly transformed to the Smaug image on the cover of Creatures of Middle-Earth MERP supplement though 😀
Guy, the video was great. Well it was good. Actually now that I think about it, it was ok. Hmm, honestly, maybe not that good. You know, it was terrible. Booooo Adult black dragon with glasses smoking a pipe.
-I pictured a blue dragon! My BBEG for the game I'm running. -Yes I benefited! -Maybe my next session will feature a giant banana? -It sucks that TH-cam has declined to the point of begging for engagement but I will fulfill it
My dragon was a grey/green crocodile-dragon, since I recently read Lord Dunsanys "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth" and the image of it stuck with me ever since. Your point about experience also applies to knowledge in general. People love saying "knowledge is power". But it's not. You can have all the knowledge in the world, if you don't use it and don't know how to apply it, then it's not much use at all. As usual, great video. I love the random banana-strategy. Have to try that once in a while :D
Just plain old cliché red dragon from D&D classic arts, probably because I expected a journey about building upon a base ^^' And yes, I benefited from your channel because it's always a joy to see and hear you. Great hair in this one by the way :) Happy to learn you also look at lumberjack-themed media ! For imaginary research, obviously XD Oh, and then, blower competition and big bananas. Sorry Guy but I guess I'm associating a bit too freely :p
My first image at the word dragon was green, because the WizKids adult green dragon is sitting directly above my eyeline on my desk, because it's just gorgeous. Blue is my favorite dragon, though. I've been GMing since 1979, and I've rarely encountered another GM, whether on TH-cam or as a player, where I haven't learned or found a different way of looking at /something./ GMing is a process, and if you ever stop learning, you stagnate.
I envisioned 4 dragons, in order: 1) A black dragon because I'll be running one at some point in my campaign (her name is Cypress), and I'm doing a lot of legwork right now to figure out her character and goals. She's also a powerful necromancer. 2) A bronze dragon, because I have one named Brathoss ruling over a nation in my setting, and I really like the vibes of bronze dragons. I like the lightning breath weapon and like that they're warfaring but always pick the morally just side. 3) A Crystal dragon, because I think they're cute. They look like dinosaurs with wings 4) Sapphire dragons are just sexy, okay?
Just **A** dragon?!?!?! Sorry mate I have ADHD, you said imagine a dragon .... like 20 diffent ones popped into my head all at the same time fighting for that spot.
Copper was the color of my dragon. The PC's are teamed up currently with a copper dragon named Silsiloonata (Lucy for short) who I have decided to voice like a "valley girl". "It's like, totally an honor to meet you and stuff." ~Lucy My PC's have instantly fallen in love with her.
Imagine dragons you say, well, my dragon was the band Imagine Dragons in the cartoon form from the Arcane show. Did I something wrong? The combination of a dragon, a bottle, and laughter would conjure up the scene of how Kobayashi met Thoru in the anime series Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. I guess, I watch too much TV.
I recently created a dragon, a silver dragon whose scales have been magically imbued to look black. He can create practically a perma-darkness that non-magical light can't penetrate, and he's got this horn shape that kinda looks like a coronal crown. Just kinda been my recent experience of imagination, specifically of a dragon.
I have benefited, even if I haven't actually run a campaign and have listened to the playlist up to now within a couple days. (Also my necromancer dragon has been on my mind lately. He's a good boy. He's the color of black emerald, not in the style of d&d dragons.)
Yeah, world anvil didn’t save the thing I spent 4 hours working on like 3 times now, even though I was very careful to press the save button. I kind of just gave up using it like two years ago. Which is a shame because principal it is exactly what I want It just doesn’t seem to like me very much...
I saw Smaug, but not immediately in any particular colour, just with a fairly vague metallic/shiny look. If I then try to think of a typical D&D dragon, it's a red one that comes to mind - but at the time of question, it was Smaug.
Haven't benefitted from this channels videos for 2, maybe 3 years now. I don't remember why, but it just stopped being useful for me sometime around then, and I was all for the first "Let's do a full year and every week will be continuing on the last", but it didn't work out, and I msotly go back to the old stuff
First though was an adult Red dragon that shimmers, from rich crimson into oranges and browns and shiny ashy grey all in a dazzling array. I’ve really enjoyed listening to your videos. Thank you very much for making them.
my dragon was black because I've been thinking quite a lot lately about my players' future boss battle scene... also, I love this series! just now catching up on the ones I've missed, but they've all been a great help :) thanks guy
Red... it was Smaugh. And now it is a blue coloured Wyrm dragon laughing a message in the bottle joke because the local children drop bottle into the river that flows through its cave as an offering for it protecting their toy.
*Thanks for watching!* What colour was the dragon that you imagined?

Green dragon
Red tbh
Red. It was specifically Y Ddraig Goch, if I'm honest, rather than even a generic red dragon, because apparently if I'm asked to imagine a dragon without any context I'm going to imagine the iconic Welsh red dragon.
On the second prompt, with the dragon, the bottle, and laughter, the dragon was a small purple dragon resembling a seahorse with fairy-style wings laughing with glee at having tricked whoever currently had possession of the bottle, cursing them in the process (Maybe an imp in the bottle style thing, probably something more immediate)
I didn't even have a dragon in my mind by the time you asked what color it was. 😔
Same, no color, next time give us a bit of a pause or talk for a moment before dropping the question. 😂 all I can tell you is it was a faerie dragon; Thank you every much AJ pik.
My dragon was red, unless I have a descriptor provided, anytime someone says dragon, I think of a red one.

I am really enjoying this series, as it gives me new strategies and methods to plan my adventures and overall campaigns.
I imagined a void/space dragon, probably because I recently saw the (very cool) art of the lampad from Mythic Odesseys of Theros and it stuck with me
Lol the mustache drooping is hilarious
- black
- Yeah i benefitted for a very long time already.
Thanks for that.
red dragon. My imagination is pretty powerful, now I've got a red dragon in my world> Gonna need to forget that.
yes
I envisioned a white dragon because i'm currently GMing a Pathfinder AP where the players will eventually face said white dragon, so it's been on my mind.
Mine was white as well because I read this comment during the adds.
Mine was the most recent dragon that I used in a game, specifically red, but he used spells to add white and blue to his scale colours (which gave him elemental resistance vs cold & electricity, and more armour)
Guy: I want you to imagine a dragon.
Me: Imagines a dragon.
Guy: What colour is your dragon?
Me: ... a colourless dragon? Not colourless as a grey, or transparent. Just a dragon, which does not have any colour. Is that acceptable!?
You said to imagine a dragon, and I imagined a band named...
Just want to say I love your videos and they have been helping me out greatly with my campaign I’m starting this Thursday!
How did your first session go?
@@beardalaxy it went amazingly thanks for asking!
@@lukey2501 good to hear :)
- Green.
- Yes, I benefitted.
All dry jokes asides, many of your advices have hit home and helped me keep my motivation and continue improving my campaign.
I'm not a GM (yet), but these videos help me figure out how to make my life's experience/story more interesting. Very valuable stuff indeed!
Well it was a red dragon. I have benefitted from your videos and fortified my enthusiasm and love for beeing the DM. I have been watching your videos since 2018 and they helped a lot. Thank you.
"Sometimes we research too passively"
Me, using this very video as audio filler and no intent to ever be a "practicing" DM: Haha...
IT's a Black Dragon, of course! with horns, claws, teeth and spiked tail! Well that's what's in my current game.
The dragon I imagined was brightly colored like a tropical bird.
The experience section of this really resonated with me. I work in a very technical line of work and have in the past been working on projects for so long without success that my frustration boils over and tools get thrown. I can vividly imagine the NPC building the catapult or contraption and it not working and just the sheer amount of frustration they feel at the stupid thing not working even though they had done it a dozen times before.

Edit: I watched the rest of the video and it is top notch as always. I especialy benefited from the Banana, because I often cling on a idea and get stuck on an insignificant detail :)
Yea I have propheted from thyne vids
Red dragon, adult.
These videos are inspiring, I learned so much from them. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to your guide!
My dragon had no color, neither was it big or small, it smelled of nothing and it's roar was silence. In fact it was just the concept of a dragon.
Aphantasia is a physical condition, that has nothing to do with wanting or not wanting to imagine. Just as a paralyzed man can't get out of his wheelchair and walk only because he believe enough, I cannot imagine things only because I try hard enough.
Hey I feel you. Though I do not think we are as helpless as you describe, it is frustrating to think of something that is perfectly clear in your mind and not be able to associate any details with it.

"Yes!"
"What color is it ?!"
"...you only said dragon !"
Reading through the comments after watching the video made me want to consciously add detail to my dragon, so I DECIDED that I WANT it to be some kind of dark/deep blue and to have it's wings partly attached to it's arms.

It is yellow
Green - I imagined Elvarg from RuneScape
Lol
This is the first time ive actually sat through a World Anvil ad
Nothing I have aphantasia. Its dragon colored

My dragon was green, but it was sooo dark it took me a while to be sure it's dark green instead of black or other dark color red brown gray etc.
You and the folks you work with have been one of the best resources I’ve come across since picking up the hobby. A really insightful, well-rounded, and fresh take on the...massive amount of topics a ttrpg can cover. You’re doing great work out here, and I really appreciate the effort you’ve been putting into the community. 🤘
And uhhh...my dragon was covered in the blood of thousands. Not sure what color it was.
Thank you very much for this!
A green dragon came to mind first. Thanks for all you do. I may be adding a crooked mustached shopkeeper to my campaign. He's trying to find or discover the perfect mustache wax!
Red.
The dragon was red.
Im loving this series and would have purchased the book already if it wasn't for currency conversion. It's currently costing as much as 2 basic books in BRL, so it has to wait a couple years =(
I started watching this yesterday at work and had to stop, so I started watching it again. My dragon was red yesterday and today it was blue. Hopefully I'll get past the first minute this time :-) You're such a great inspiration to my games!

My Imagined Dragon was blue, because they have "the lightning, and the thunder"
Red dragon, a classic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, I found your channel when I started formulating how to run a full campaign for the first time, after stepping into the GM chair for a handful of random one-shot sessions. I have now been running an epic campaign for 3 years since!
i feel ashamed my drag was smaug big red 4 legs 2 wings thicc smaug big like godzilla............and i play kobolds................
"I want you to picture a dragon"
*me, starts thinking*
"Was your dragon..." *starts listing off colors*
Me: "I hadn't even begun to shape one!"
Aphantasia SUCKS
Edit: Also, can I just say that you look absolutely fabulous!
My dragon was a skeletal one (so technically invisible, minus the bones?), and Guy has really helped me get a better understanding of the finer points that are very often overlooked. He's one of the first channels I suggest to people who want to be DM, when even players can benefit from some of his videos!
I didn't see any particular color of dragon, but I believe that's because I have aphantasia and cannot conjure up an image of literally anything.
I didn't think of a color just a shape 2 wings your typical europian Charazard... I mean dragon.
Metallic Red Dragon
Love this series. I am a new GM who is starting my first campaign in a few days. These have been really helpful. Thanks!
Just want to wish you luck on your first campaign! YOU GOT THIS!!! Wow them and good luck DM.
How did your first campaign go??
My Dragon was dull-iron, in the very first frame of mental animation. Hopefully not an indicator of a dull imagination. Your advice is easily applicable and self-evident, the sort of stuff that makes me think "why couldn't I come up with that?".

Haven't finished the video yet but had to say Guy your American TV narrator voice was awesome hahaha that alone makes this video worth watching!
-Dan
- Black 🐉
- I don't know if I benefitted. I probably did but, it's not something that connects at the time in my head.
My dragon was golden, not metallic, just colored. When you said add a bottle and laughter. My dragon was opening a blue bottle releasing thick red smoke. It was an evil djinn laughing, because he was rather happy to be out.
Good vid.
Documentaries about pawn men 😂
I’m obviously watching the wrong channels.
Cobolt Blue, and yes, enjoy. I'm finding myself rewatching often just to spice up my GM thought process.
- What colour was the dragon that you inagined?
And starts to tell the colours, Red, green, violet, I'm like "tell rainbow also"
- tells rainbow
:Surprised_pikachu_face:
But um, yeah, my answer is "loud" xD and warm. As i didn't imagined his picture, i imagined his warm breath as he LOUDLY breathed on my neck 😂😂😅😅
Black Dragon, Marovra, the keeper of the underworld in my world of Rophira!
You made me actually wonder how many people during the bubonic plague walked around believing it didn't exist. May have only been 1...who quickly died...but curious
I'm not a D&D player anymore, but the first one was still the Larry Elmore's red one from the front of D&D Red Box... It quickly transformed to the Smaug image on the cover of Creatures of Middle-Earth MERP supplement though 😀
Blue dragon. Probably because my players are fighting blue dragons tonight.
Obligatory mention of Kanka for those who checked out WorldAnvil and found it... a tad unwieldy 😅
Guy, the video was great. Well it was good. Actually now that I think about it, it was ok. Hmm, honestly, maybe not that good. You know, it was terrible. Booooo
Adult black dragon with glasses smoking a pipe.
I imagine dragon it was.... RADIOACTIVE!
Yes! Still after 2 years since post. Thank you! :)
My dragon was a red dragon with blood red scales reflecting the distant glow of flowing lava in the cavern. Kinda looked like Smaug...
I'm currently working with a Topaz Dragon posing as a Golden Dragon and a Pirate when in human form.
-I pictured a blue dragon! My BBEG for the game I'm running.
-Yes I benefited!
-Maybe my next session will feature a giant banana?
-It sucks that TH-cam has declined to the point of begging for engagement but I will fulfill it
My dragon was a grey/green crocodile-dragon, since I recently read Lord Dunsanys "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth" and the image of it stuck with me ever since.
Your point about experience also applies to knowledge in general. People love saying "knowledge is power". But it's not. You can have all the knowledge in the world, if you don't use it and don't know how to apply it, then it's not much use at all.
As usual, great video. I love the random banana-strategy. Have to try that once in a while :D
Green dragon, yellowish belly, rearing up. Classical Western style.
I have benefited! I’m planning a campaign now and this is so great!
Guy: I want you to imagine a dragon. What color was the dragon?
Me: Mine were singing Radioactive. So... Metal, with a neon background?
These videos haven't helped me to become a better GM yet, since I haven't ran any games in... 20+ years. But hopefully soon.
Just plain old cliché red dragon from D&D classic arts, probably because I expected a journey about building upon a base ^^'
And yes, I benefited from your channel because it's always a joy to see and hear you. Great hair in this one by the way :)
Happy to learn you also look at lumberjack-themed media ! For imaginary research, obviously XD
Oh, and then, blower competition and big bananas. Sorry Guy but I guess I'm associating a bit too freely :p
My first image at the word dragon was green, because the WizKids adult green dragon is sitting directly above my eyeline on my desk, because it's just gorgeous. Blue is my favorite dragon, though.
I've been GMing since 1979, and I've rarely encountered another GM, whether on TH-cam or as a player, where I haven't learned or found a different way of looking at /something./ GMing is a process, and if you ever stop learning, you stagnate.
- purple dragon (because it is my favourite colour)
- I hath doth benefited from watching thy videos.
I envisioned 4 dragons, in order:
1) A black dragon because I'll be running one at some point in my campaign (her name is Cypress), and I'm doing a lot of legwork right now to figure out her character and goals. She's also a powerful necromancer.
2) A bronze dragon, because I have one named Brathoss ruling over a nation in my setting, and I really like the vibes of bronze dragons. I like the lightning breath weapon and like that they're warfaring but always pick the morally just side.
3) A Crystal dragon, because I think they're cute. They look like dinosaurs with wings
4) Sapphire dragons are just sexy, okay?
Initially blue, because I watched a blue dragon in a program last night, but that quickly flickered to red, my default vision for dragons.
Just **A** dragon?!?!?! Sorry mate I have ADHD, you said imagine a dragon .... like 20 diffent ones popped into my head all at the same time fighting for that spot.
Copper was the color of my dragon. The PC's are teamed up currently with a copper dragon named Silsiloonata (Lucy for short) who I have decided to voice like a "valley girl".
"It's like, totally an honor to meet you and stuff." ~Lucy
My PC's have instantly fallen in love with her.
Dracolich, covered in ice-blue flames. Your videos are always a delight, and help immensely. ,
Black Dragon. And yes Guy, I have benefitted greatly from your work and this channel
Baal Red with Snakebite Leather Wings. Bad Skullz Yellow teeth though.
Watching this video after spending 15 minutes trying to wax my own mustache feels odd XD
Black with orange horns, claws, underbelly and Whiskers
Imagine dragons you say, well, my dragon was the band Imagine Dragons in the cartoon form from the Arcane show. Did I something wrong?
The combination of a dragon, a bottle, and laughter would conjure up the scene of how Kobayashi met Thoru in the anime series Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. I guess, I watch too much TV.
My dragon was red as well. Seems like many of us think of red dragons!
Red dragon as I just been to Wales for the first time 🏴
I recently created a dragon, a silver dragon whose scales have been magically imbued to look black. He can create practically a perma-darkness that non-magical light can't penetrate, and he's got this horn shape that kinda looks like a coronal crown. Just kinda been my recent experience of imagination, specifically of a dragon.
I have benefited, even if I haven't actually run a campaign and have listened to the playlist up to now within a couple days.
(Also my necromancer dragon has been on my mind lately. He's a good boy. He's the color of black emerald, not in the style of d&d dragons.)
Yeah, world anvil didn’t save the thing I spent 4 hours working on like 3 times now, even though I was very careful to press the save button. I kind of just gave up using it like two years ago. Which is a shame because principal it is exactly what I want It just doesn’t seem to like me very much...
When I just imagine a dragon, it's green and breathes fire... unless I'm thinking about D&D in which case it's a red dragon.
I saw Smaug, but not immediately in any particular colour, just with a fairly vague metallic/shiny look. If I then try to think of a typical D&D dragon, it's a red one that comes to mind - but at the time of question, it was Smaug.
My dragon was blue, slender, scholarly, a hoarder of knowledge in addition to his riches.
Thought of a purple dragon drinking a bottle of water after telling a joke at a comic show.
Haven't benefitted from this channels videos for 2, maybe 3 years now. I don't remember why, but it just stopped being useful for me sometime around then, and I was all for the first "Let's do a full year and every week will be continuing on the last", but it didn't work out, and I msotly go back to the old stuff
First though was an adult Red dragon that shimmers, from rich crimson into oranges and browns and shiny ashy grey all in a dazzling array.
I’ve really enjoyed listening to your videos. Thank you very much for making them.
my dragon was black because I've been thinking quite a lot lately about my players' future boss battle scene... also, I love this series! just now catching up on the ones I've missed, but they've all been a great help :) thanks guy
You'll just have to imagine the dragon!
Tom Hardy, priest of Bane
Copper dragon!
For sure your videos help a lot my friend! greetings from Panama!!
My dragon was "cosmos coloured" - you know, like the dark of space with nebulas and galaxies and all that swirling around.
Red... it was Smaugh. And now it is a blue coloured Wyrm dragon laughing a message in the bottle joke because the local children drop bottle into the river that flows through its cave as an offering for it protecting their toy.
Sapphire Dragon. I dont know why I imagined a sapphire dragon. Edit as I watch this video.
"any interaction"
Dislike?
Reported for terrorism?
:v
