Council of Wyrms is a boxed set introducing a campaign setting for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game published in 1994.

Contents

The Council of Wyrms boxed set provides all the rules and background material necessary for staging adventures with dragon player characters. The dragon's color substitutes for race and class, with the addition of proficiencies (such as Chanting, Looting, Religion) and a character kit (including Dragon-Mage, Dragon-Priest, Dragon-Psionicist). Players also may experiment with half-dragon PCs, spawned from the union of polymorphed dragons and their demihuman vassals. The adventures of this setting occur in the Io's Blood Isles, a string of islands in a self-contained world. The setting of the campaign is a chain of islands called Io's Blood Isles. These islands represent all major climates. It is separated from the rest of its fictional world by very large oceans.

Reception

Rick Swan reviewed Council of Wyrms for Dragon magazine #213 (January 1995). He recommended this set for anyone who was "an AD&D game player who's had your fill of wizards, who's fed up with fighters, who doesn't care if he ever lays eyes on another thief".
