So a dragon e-ghost is not enough for you guys, huh? What did those poor creatures did to you, that you want them turning into bugs?  ;)

We do not have the time to go into how dragons have screwed over my character :P
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

That's why they say, "Never deal with a dragon"

Ever notice it's the poor Runners that say that?  :P

If you can get your hands on it, the old Earthdawn material is still out there -- wouldn't help as far as game mechanics, but story, fluff and ideas, they'd be pretty useful.

Earthdawn Sourcebook List

I'd recommend:

*Denizens of Earthdawn
*Creatures of Barsaive
*Legends of Earthdawn
*Horrors ---> ding, ding, ding!  ;D
*Parlainth (box set and adventures) --> City taken over by horrors and then trapped in astral space for a loooong time=grumpy horror(s)
*Shattered Pattern -->interesting adventure - involving...well, oddly relevant items to SR in 2075
*Infected --->another adventure that has oddly relevant ties...
*Magic: A Manual of Mystic Secrets
*Arcane Mysteries of Barsaive
*Secret Societies of Barsaive --> behind the scenes players - perhaps some still exist in some form in 2075
*The Book of Exploration --> short stories and plot hooks
*Earthdawn Survival Guide --> various hazards of living in Earthdawn

Any of the original Earthdawn material could be used (if you aren't following canon in your campaign) -- there are other books that have tie-ins to the IEs of the current world. Depends how much background you want to dig into. I'd like to throw in some old pattern items that are found in SR 2075 -- not so much for the crossover, but just that it would be cool to do. There has to be some unopened Kaer's out there! ;)

Ishmell, I hereby crown you the prince of [thread] necromancy!  All hail our dark prince!  :P

It's only been two months. This is hardly thread necromancy. More like a reawakening from a really deep thread nap.


Toxic Dragons seem reasonable, and there also is a Radioactive Dragon in the Redmond Barrens, but I don't think any Dragon is dumb enough to become a Bug Dragon.
... voluntarily.

True, but we get a lot of necrotized threads on these boards.  I figure we should start handing out trophies or something.  :P

I don't want to meet the hive that can take on a dragon and subdue it long enough to make it a bug.

Well, if there was one that was nearly beaten to death somewhere in a recent storyline...   ;)

That one was my fault -- sorry about that! I think I did a search and didn't look at the last post date. In case I attempt anymore reawakenings, is it better to start a new post and reference an old thread that way?

Nah, I was just messing with you.  :)
