Rise Up (From the Grave) Comus @riseupcomus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Why did these rules exist for dragons and not any other type of monster? Why did these rules exist at all? I have no clue and no context on that. But the world-building implications of the setting of OD&D, with dragon markets in *every* major town, and dragons being ridden by NPCs/PCs, is wild. 8461
Rise Up (From the Grave) Comus @riseupcomus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The rules for subduing dragons is to express the percentage of HP lost by the dragon, then use it as a chance to subdue it. Subdued dragons are cowed and ruled by the PC. They now have a dragon! They can also sell it at market. We are told that EVERY town of good size has such a market! Baffling! + 1430

Rise Up (From the Grave) Comus @riseupcomus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026In the most recent episode of Between 2 Cairns, reviewing B5 - Horror on the Hill, our hosts were befuddled over the conclusion that discussed "subduing the dragon." Dragon subduing is one of the bizarre quirks of White Box OD&D that has been lost to time. A small 🧵of explanation: 109710
Reposted by Rise Up (From the Grave) ComusJohan Nohr @nohr.se · 07/10/2026Four reasons why I think MÖRK BORG's index is good. 1. It's divided into three sections so that you can quickly filter to the third you're looking for and not have to sift through as many irrelevant entries. If you're looking for a thing in the Rules, you just ignore The World and Creatures. 311614
