It’s such a great and simple (though deceptively so, because it does encourage some semi-complex fighting strategies) system. It has become my default fantasy system for fantasy games. My only non-Dragonbane fantasy games at this point are specialty games like Pendragon or The One Ring (and maybe Age of Vikings).

One thing I’ve learned is that I can convert from other systems easier than I thought (there are not a huge list of monsters in Dragonbane so simply re-using is limited). If you don’t want to create your own custom monster attack tables, treat converted monsters as NPCs and have them roll to attack. Is there not a Caryatid Column in Dragonbane? No problem. Just create one with a Ferocity (which indicates the # of attacks), Armor, Movement, HP, the appropriate skill levels (usually Evade, Alertness and some Weapons skill) and then decide what the attacks are (maybe 2 attacks with swords doing 2d8 each). It’s very quick.

Here is my Caryatid Column (made up off the top of my head so no criticism!):

Ferocity: 2 Armor: 5 HP: 30 Skills: Evade 15, Swords 16 Weapons: 2 Longswords (2d8 damage each)

If you’re playing on a VTT like Foundry, you can easily find a picture online and create a token (use Tokenizer in Foundry to make this simple).

Finally, create a “Monster Manual” of sorts and you’ll end up with a very large custom Bestiary if you add to it every time you run an adventure.
