Dragons in the Adventure Paths

[Mykull]

I am in the process of creating a world.
I'll be running AP's starting all the way back at Shackled City.

I would like a list of dragons and their age categories in the PF AP's.

I want to be able to introduce these dragons earlier. For example, let's say there's a very old dragon in Rise of the Runelords. I'd like to have that dragon to appear (perhaps as an adult) with Hookface in SCAP during Foundation of Flame. That dragon doesn't like the look of things and flies off. Then, after AoW, and ST, when we're running RotR, that dragon returns. Even though the characters will be totally different, the players will be the same and I believe they'd like it.

Thanks in advance.

You do realize that will take years and years, right?

I don't have any of the Shattered Star issues yet, so I can't say if there are dragons within them.

I apologize if I missed any.

Thank you, Are!

[Mykull]

Actually, I think that it'll take so much time that it would more accurately be measured in decades rather than years. But a great deal of the fun for me as a DM is laying down those kind of Babylon 5 three years later Vir in B&W smiling up at Mr. Morden type of ah-hah's! and foreshadows. Even if I never actually get to run it, I have fun planning it.

Are, thank you very much. Even if you've missed any, you've given me a great deal to work with. Thank you. My players, who'll never know you, thank you, too.

[Krathanos]

Great Job, Are! Seems like after RotRL Paizo used less dragons.

I always try to put a dragon in AP chapters that I write. There was a green dragon in my manuscript for War of the River Kings, but it got cut, alas.
