IC:D&D 3.5 Dragon Hunters

I know there is call for this and I just want to see how much interest there is in this system.
This seems to be the one with the most interest, I can easily run a Pathfinder game of the same premise instead. If there is about equal interest, I will see about running the Pathfinder version later.

Someone did end up posting a Pathfinder dragon hunting game, but I'd definitely be interested to explore it in other systems as well. Shoot me an rMail with any sort of dragon hunting you end up running :)

I'd be interested to give this a go. Dragons are always exciting enemies to hunt and battle. Not sure of exactly what you're proposing, often the climax of a quest is to defeat a big bad guy. Are you suggesting every adventure would end with a dragon?

So adventurers would become seasoned dragonslayers in the end. Its a neat idea. Preferably I'd like to start low and work you way up the dragons as they become older and more dangerous.

Make it a dedicated mercenary company that specializes in dragon-hunting. They send newer recruits (read: low-level) out to chase down hatchlings that have been spotted on the loose. It would keep the draconic population from taking root in an otherwise clear region, give newcomers field experience, and weed out those who don't make the cut.

(In other words, have a pool of low-level characters ready to step in for the inevitable PC death.)

As they gain experience, the hunters would start going after more mature dragons who would be in the middle of staking out a territory claim. That may entail taking out several dragons who are fighting over a stretch of land. Not necessarily fighting multiple at once (though that can happen), but each time they take one out it would effectively make the others stronger. The last one would fight hardest of all, because beating these humanoids would guarantee its claim.

At higher levels, they might even have to defend the mercenary company's headquarters against dedicated dragon attacks, as the older ones decide the company's a real threat.

The company could have the cooperation of some good-aligned dragons, who help fight the evil types in exchange for a share of the resultant treasure. Or they might decide that all dragons are a threat, good or bad, and therefore hunt down anything draconic.

Depending on the company's attitude about it, they may even go so far as to oppose anything with draconic ties -- including most sorcerers, and anything with visible draconic ancestry.

I would be willing to dust off my 3.5 books for this provided that the posting rate is not expected to be multiple times per day.

I like the idea of a company of dragon-hunters. Its a neat idea that they might also have bias opinions on magic and such like due to their operations, so be against magic and sorcerers.

For character generation I'd prefer low level and simple rules.
