The Silver Dragon Inn (Patreon)

A lot of inns have fanciful names, like "The Dancing Fox." But you walk in, look around... no dancing fox. Not even a non-dancing fox. Deep down, you knew there wouldn't be a fox, but you had a little hope and it was still a bit disappointing.

The Silver Dragon Inn doesn't have that problem. This place delivers on the promise of its name, with an actual silver dragon lairing just underneath it. The original idea behind the map was that the innkeeper is secretly the dragon in human form, but there are a lot of different things you could do with it.

I'd recommend doing whatever you think your players won't expect. Here are a few ideas:

• The innkeeper admits to being the dragon.
• The innkeeper claims to be the dragon, but isn't.
• The innkeeper works for the dragon.
• The innkeeper controls the dragon somehow.
• There is no dragon, the innkeeper is making it all up.
• The dragon, the inn and everything else in your campaign was all a dream and the PCs are a bunch of sleeping farmhands.

Next up is the spelljammer I promised a few months ago. I held a vote on which one to draw and the Whaleship was the winner. Designed as a passenger liner, it's got plenty of space for crew and cargo and I think it'll make a good reward for high-level parties that have paid their dues.

By the way, if you hadn't heard, Spelljammer is coming back. Wizards of the Coast announced it on April Fool's Day and everyone thought it was a joke, but apparently they were serious. After making several settings that everyone has already forgotten about, it looks like WotC is finally ready to throw in the towel and give the people what they want. Maybe if we're lucky, Planescape will be next.

Anyway, that's it for now. Let me know what you think!
