To me it seems like the vast majority of dragons probably die by misadventure or violence, not old age.

The oldest dragons are Great Wyrm age. A party of 20th level characters would struggle to take one down. Beings that powerful have a gravity that affects events across countries or continents. There just can't be that many of them in the world. Maybe a handful per species. Maybe.

It makes me think that a lot of wyrmlings are born but only a small number live to adulthood let alone old age. Given that an adult dragon is also a siege engine with legs, they're so obviously adapted for violence, the most likely cause of death for a dragon is probably other dragons.

I don't care how old 3rd ed #dnd is it's the one my autistic special interest imprinted on ^_^

I will always care about #3e the most even though I acknowledge it's overcomplex bordering on unplayable and in practice the D&D game I actually *run* is 5.0e

@epiceneVivant most people who swear by 3rd do the same thing LOL. At least you recognize it, and you're having fun, so I'm definitely not going to claim that you're wrong.

@TheMNWolf Started with Moldvay BECMI, stayed with 2e when 3e (bought) and 4e (not my cup of tea) came around. Still I think that 3e with the D20-License had the most effect until #CreativeCommons #5e came. 3e brought #Pathfiinder to the scene @epiceneVivant
