Looking back at my recent campaigns, I've noticed something: "Isles of Dread" has exactly one dragon encounter, "Mists of Lamordia" had exactly one dragon encounter, "Lost Mine of Phandelver" and then "Storm King's Thunder" had exactly one dragon encounter (though there was another we never got to). "A Quest for Memory" had two, but that was something of an outlier.
In other words, it looks very much like my pattern is that a campaign will have one, and usually only one, dragon encounter.
Which is no bad thing - having identified the pattern there are options for dealing with it: either I can consciously mix it up by having lots of dragons in one campaign and none in another, or I could embrace the pattern and consciously build campaigns with that singular encounter - in which case, the question becomes "where is the dragon this time?"
And I find myself liking that approach, so I'm thinking I might go that way...
