But with the epidemic on James Mishler, & Jodi Moran-Mishler have put all of their Drivethrurpg titles on 'pay what you want' OSR & Labyrinth Lord titles. "Note that the "Pay What You Want" lasts through the end of the day, or tomorrow morning at the latest "
'The Dragonborn' are a campaign & adventure element that I've used for NPC's for years when dealing with dragons in old school & OSR games as minions, monster retainers, & more.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJaBKraBpyxd_Cn79YCw1rLG3k4l-JeR04ih6AUWrg49lgQb4I0nPPI6JLfVY7dOb8KeLdQw8o_XGYv4i_QWcgcs4ILGW8r9DuQcR5Q9SZEWydxsgTjCtKiJOZfakr1XJddvloR_Xxfi0/s640/223007.png)

'The Dragonborn' includes a whole array of options for the DM's tool box in form of ; "dragon-bloods, the half-blood offspring for dragonborn and humans includes the following:

Dragonborn Lairs, Dragonborn Monster Entry
New Monsters: Dracosteeds and Dragonhounds
10 pages altogether, seven pages of content, one cover page, two pages of OGL."
