The Dragons "Great Game," in Greyhawk

Hello all! I am working on a campaign idea inspired by the Draconomicon and the idea of the Dragon's "Great Game." Has anyone used this in Greyhawk? Have you used dragons as more than Smaug type villains? Where do the dragons live in GH? Are there groups/families/clans of dragons? Any help is appreciated!

Which Draconomicon are you using? 3e or 2e? I'd like to look it up myself!

Happy

It is for 3rd Edition. I don't remember where it is cited, and it only discusses it briefly, but it indicates that because of their extreme longevity (often over 2,000 years), that they compete with each other by manipulating world events in a great game. This was more often played by metallic dragons. They dabble in the world of men and kingdoms, which seem very transitory to them.

If you click on the Deadly Denizens box/link on the left side of this page, you'll see many dragons listed. You could then Google each name to find out more about them.

There used to be a link over there that was titled 'Dragons of Oerth'. I think it was combined with 'Undead of Oerth' and 'Giants of Oerth' and replaced with the current 'Deadly Denizens' link, it you may be able to find that old list somewhere.

Yes, that is helpful. If a bit overwhelming. I was confused when using that link for the first time because there were so many options and locations to choose from.
