20 Dragon Adventure Hooks
For Dungeons and Dragons
I have heard people both joke and critique Dungeons and Dragons because so many games have neither dungeons nor dragons in them. I aim to rectify this with some help from ChatGPT. Here is its suggestions.
Have the players encounter a friendly dragon who offers to aid them in their quest.
The players must retrieve a dragon egg for a powerful wizard, but the mother dragon is fiercely protective.
A dragon has taken up residence in a nearby village and is wreaking havoc. The players must find a way to defeat it.
The players are hired to protect a caravan transporting a dragon hoard.
A dragon has been terrorizing a kingdom, but it turns out to be under the control of an evil sorcerer.
The players must navigate a maze-like cave in order to steal a dragon's treasure.
The players find themselves trapped in a dragon's lair and must find a way to escape.
A dragon has stolen a powerful magical artifact and the players must retrieve it.
The players must protect a dragon from a group of dragon hunters.
The players must solve a riddle posed by a dragon in order to pass through a dangerous mountain pass.
A dragon is causing earthquakes in a nearby town and the players must find out why.
The players must help a dragon who has been cursed and turned into a human.
The players must work with a group of dragons to defeat an ancient evil threatening the land.
A dragon has taken over a castle and the players must find a way to defeat it and reclaim the fortress.
The players must sneak into a dragon's lair to steal a valuable magical item.
The players must navigate a dangerous dragon-filled forest to reach their destination.
A dragon has been captured and put on display in a circus. The players must free it.
A group of dragons are waging war against each other and the players must choose a side or try to broker peace.
The players must help a dragon who has lost its memory and needs to recover its hoard.
The players must earn the trust of a group of dragons in order to gain their assistance in a battle.
If you don’t want to have a dragon adventure, you can still put some dragon into your adventure with these ideas, by me, not ChatGPT.
Have a dragon flyer over on their way to where ever the adventurers are going.
Have broken dragon eggs in a cave. You can pay this off in in another adventure.
Dragon art like sculptures, paintings, cave drawings, books, lore etc.
Dragon scales, teeth, etc. being sold at a market
Hearing a dragon roar in the distance
Find draconic magic items or scrolls
That’s all for now, but until next time, here’s to more dragons in Dungeons and Dragons.
