OSR Review & Commentary On Dragonborn By James Mishler, & Jodi Moran-Mishler From James Mishler Games For Your OSR or Old School Campaigns

Some days  I walk a fine line between full OSR Sword & Sorcery & the gonzo fantasy of early Dungeons & Dragons products. 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.

'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:

"Magic Item: Dragon Scrimshaw Scales

Dragonborn Lairs, Dragonborn Monster Entry

New Monsters: Dracosteeds and Dragonhounds

10 pages altogether, seven pages of content, one cover page, two pages of OGL." So this means that 'The Dragonborn' clocks in ten pages but there's a lot of OSR  content for the bang for the buck factor. 'The Dragonborn ' material is ideally suited to be slotted into a Dungeon & Dragon  Expert Set edited by Dave Cook and Stephen R. Marsh.

James Mishler, & Jodi Moran-Mishler are often the writers & designers who take the untapped OGL material into something that is very usable at the table top rpg level especially for B/X style OSR games. We see this again in the 'Barbarian Class'

From 

James Mishler Games. 


This 'Barbarian' class is basically a fantastic  revamp of the
old Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Unearthed Arcana & Dragon magazine article  barbarian class. This is often the case with many of the Mishler Games products. They are very useful & actually usable throughout the material. Although
Mishler Games product lines are   meant for Labyrinth Lord, they  should work  well in OSRIC/1 AD&D Ed,  you'd need to tweak the XP tables '

The Dragonborn' takes this ideal & then gives the dungeon master an array of dragon themed campaign elements.
This isn't bad at all & probably could be used
as a way to sight up a complete 2nd edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
Council of Wyrms campaign. 




'The Dragonborn' material is perfectly suited to add into an
Adventurer,Conqueror, King rpg campaign where the power struggles of
the dragon kind is part of the hard core economic & machination struggles of a 

high fantasy campaign setting.
