Appreciating a dragon
Written by Yax - Published on January 17, 2008

Hot Date!Me and my hot date

Yesterday was Appreciate a dragon day and I was lucky enough to spend the evening in good (but evil) company. Yes - that is a young lady red dragon. I had to come up with a “I can handle the heat” pick-up line to get her to talk to me. Don’t tell my girlfriend! We set off a few firecrackers, rented a movie, and chillaxed with a glass of - what else - red wine.

You can celebrate too!

If you haven’t celebrated Appreciate A Dragon day as fully as you would have liked, well, it’s not too late. Dragons are compliment junkies and will be happy to be appreciated anytime - even next week-end.

You could:

  • Play D&D and incorporate a dragon into your current campaign.
  • Invite a friend to try Dungeons & Dragons for the first time.
  • Show your appreciation for Fourth Edition’s new metallic dragons by “friending” the Adamantine dragon on Facebook and giving him gifts.
  • Visit Enworld.com or other D&D fan sites and share stories of how you’ve used dragons in your 3.5 campaign.
  • Google “dragon” and see what shows up! Read about the way dragons have infiltrated popular culture and some of the classic dragon myths.
  • Pop some popcorn and watch movies about dragons, both the friendly and unfriendly varieties:
    • Puff the magic dragon, Dragon Heart, Eragon, Dragonlance, Reign of Fire, the Shrek series, Pete’s Dragon
  • Pull out your old Halloween costume and dress like a dragon.

All right, back to my date…

    I can’t believe it! You told me you were “working”! Isn’t that the dragon from Shrek? I guess she really likes asses.

    It’s OVER!

    Coasters? With wine?

    I don’t know what kind of red wine you take Yax but you’re not supposed to see through it :)

    I already made my part and had a requiem for my Bronze Dragon….

    (That would beat Expy’s butt in less than a minute I’m sure…)

    So powerful was the bronze dragon and it got kicked out of the core rulebooks. I”m not afraid.

    All right. I admit it:. It’s not really red wine. And I’m really into coasters even with wine.
