Well, Harlequin was quite different from Harlequin's Back, while the Bourne movies were all pretty much the same.

Indeed.


I was very, very intent on making sure that the material I wrote for this book was useful to give PCs and GMs plenty of opportunities for runs and campaign shenanigans even though the premise involves conflicts between millennia-old lizards. I also think at some point there will also have to be more exploration of the business of Adult Dragons, though I think Clutch struck a good balance by covering Peri and the two Seattle dragons as well as the big wyrms.

However, this is about Harlequin. As of now, there are a lot of ways that he can be involved in a game, directly or indirectly, more than before. It also bridges the gap between Harlequin, where he's feuding with Ehran, and Harlequin's Back, where he's saving the world. There is also the matter of his errant former Familiar, which is something else to consider. Clearly, the big plot involves his feud with Ghostwalker. However, there are all sorts of things going on with him besides that.

It also remains to be seen if anyone on JackPoint takes him up on his offer.

I could see Kane taking him up on it, to be honest. Definitely his kind of crazy. Don't know how many others would join up, though. I don't see any of the mercs or mages being crazy enough to take on a great dragon on his own turf, unless they were getting some of those anti-dragon weapons as part of their payment. The hacker crowd would be of limited use, as well. That leaves... who? Clockwork? Butch? Mr. Bonds? Cosmo? Baka Dabora? Kia? No, can't see any of them getting in it.

Still, if there was anything to draw Sir Dodger out of whatever hole he's been hiding in, it would be an epic quest from the Last Knight of the Crying Spire...

She died at the end of Artifacts Unbound when Ghostwalker went back through the Watergate Rift.

Srsly...I remember her chanelling megatone equivalent of mana energy. Though I dont recall seeing dead body. Or any comments on this. It may be my bad understanding of english so I can be a bit confused on what happened in DC, but I recall her amazing everyone nearby and then no more mentions of her. So something may had happened to her. But dead...well, possible but not certain...

We actually let the cat out of the bag early on that one because her death was announced in Street Legends, which came out before Artifacts Unbound. So she doesn't die on the page, but she did die.

+1 to Marzhin, indeed!

Glad to see one of the Immortal Elves go down, but she's not one of the ones I would have picked.

I have to wonder, how much did the Artifacts plot arc play in the German and French Shadowrun? Because with all those IEs and GDs who showed up at the Watergate Rift, there were notable exceptions.

It was also surprising that Jenna Ni Fairra was a no-show. Or was she considered to be still recovering?

The Artifact books (Dawn and Unbound) have not been released in France yet, so I don't know if there are plans to have extra "local" scenarios.
Or have I misunderstood your question?  ???

OK, I haven't fully read them to run them yet, but...recovering from what, exactly?
