And not limited to dragons. I find myself reminded of a shadowtalk story in one of the older books, where a runner would use such a spell to seduce targets, bring them to a hotel room, and when the target thinks he is about to get intimate, drop the spell and reveal himself as a hulking big troll...

That was most likely a mix of illusion and control emotions/thoughts, but you could do it with a spell, yes. Oh wait, there's one right here that does just that! </shameless self promotion>

Damon's not a great dragon, just a regular ol' dragon. He's something of a party animal, wearing whatever gender catches his eye that day, goes out and parties, sleeps around, and generally does his best to enjoy every day like it's his last instead of getting involved with dragon politics.

Like anything draconic, he'll probably be mentioned in Clutch of Dragons.
I really hope so.  He seems such an interesting character, far too much of one to have been ignored for so long!

Probably the only Dragon I'd want to do a deal with.  Even if it was just Beer Pong.  ;D

Arleesh is one I'm interested in. She's out there, doing *something*, but I don't knowwhat or where. As the late bloomer of the set, she's still playing catch-up.

Firewings still needs eyeballing, and ... shoot. What's the name ofthe other German dragon? The one that Lofwyr prevented from getting involved when Firewings wasgetting shot down? He owes Lofwyr a debt, IIRC, but hasn't been heard of since, as far as I know. The German writers probably have something about that whole situation, tho.

Back on the topic, however, if possible, I'll ask MrHardy if I can make a little poll in the feedback section on products. I'm curious how many + votes Clockwork might get when it's over. If any. Who knows? Maybe people will - vote him, just because, you know ... jerky jerkface who jerks. :) Of course, I also don't know whenit'll be added to the release schedule.

(And my spacebar iscollapsingagain. Back when home insteadof the laptop. See you in a few hours!)

Nebelherr is the dragon who apparently owes Lofwyr, and Kaltenstein is the great dragon prevented from aiding Feuerschwinge.  Just FYI.

Nebelherr and Kaltenstein are written up in the German version of Street Legends along with Monika Stueler-Waffenschmidt and the Kommando Konwacht (roughly "Corpwatch Crew") decker group. The one thing I cannot help thinking of is that Kaltenstein is as tall as my house (3.5m) in his troll metahuman form, and quite bulky. He is massive.

I can't say anything about Clutch.

Been loving it ever since my mind picked up on the crazy cover.

You know, it'd be awesome to get some translations of that german material.

Well, it isn't like we're restricting the good stuff to the Canadians ... can you imagine? They're all too busy with hockeybeavers and snow.

Could be because they can pick up and translate the english stuff once we are done pointing out all the flaws and such.

I should have taken a firmer hand in that translation, but my job was to make sure it was correct. And I already had to tread lightly with FanPro anyway.

Anyway, there are legal and financial issues at hand besides just the logistics of translation from French or German. I don't know whether the French version have their own additional writeups in their version of Street Legends. However, as it applies to Catalyst products we do have copies of the text and have discussed the dealings as it pertains to current material, e.g. Clutch.
