Hello Boards,
I'm considering starting a new campaign influenced by Eragon and a bit of Dragonlance. More the former than the latter. I like the concept of a game world under tyrant rule with fledgling heroes on a quest to restore order, but want to stay within Pathfinder and 3.5 Mechanics. I like the dragon riders angle as I've never played in or run such a game, although honestly I'm thinking more along the lines of intelligent drakes than true dragons. True dragons just seems TOO Powerful and too easy to over shadow the PC themselves.
Anyway, what I'm looking for is some good reference material to help inspire me as well as established rules/campaign setting I can leverage.
Thanks in advance for the help!
