When my lil brother was 10, my mother stuck a bar of Lava soap in his mouth for language like that.

No indeed, I understand it was considered rather under-armed by the standards of fighters of the day. The P-47 or the P-51 (forget which) mounted eight .50 cal machine guns after all. But that's all something to worry about for the next war, as you said.

You do that.
I'll be in the next county, hiding.

General Havoc wrote:Hehe, it's your call as to how to balance it Cynical. You're certainly way past the bounds of normal draconic discipline, but Wendigo are not normal dragons. I'm not in any position to tell you how to play your character, as long as you're prepared for the consequences if Frostfell REALLY goes too far.

And you're very right about both the .50 cal and the 20mm. The armor is mostly there for shrapnel and to slow incoming rounds a bit (and of course for the enemy dragons). It still takes a good bit of 20mm fire to bring down a dragon, especially a big one. Besides, the Me-262 was a jet fighter, many generations removed from the best that's on offer right now. If this game were set in the Cold War, you'd no doubt have to worry about aircraft, but as it stands, you should be fine.

And there's no problem with the non-latin names. I was just commenting...

Also... I seem to have screwed up. I had Ã†quitas use the term 'colonial', forgetting that I hadn't explained what he meant by it. 'Colonial', in the sense that Dragons use it, means feral, not "from the colonies". It's a disparaging term for undomesticated, undisciplined dragons, that a lot of the more intelligent (and arrogant) breeds use at times to refer to breeds like the Wendigo, the Parnassian, the Widowmakers, and other more... aggressively assertive breeds. I am ashamed to admit that it completely passed my mind that Ã†quitas was actually talking about dragons from the dominion and America, and that it would naturally be interpreted that way. My own fault and nobody else's. The term actually has nothing to do with what the humans would call colonies, Australia and Canada and whatnot, but "breeding colonies" which is where feral and unharnessable dragons are sent to be of SOME use to the countries that upkeep them. Dragons from such places have a reputation for being unruly, undisciplined, and impossible to manage.

So er... I'll leave it up to all of you how to interpret his comment. Your dragons would be aware of the meaning of the word, but you can take it however you like. I screwed it up by not explaining and by using the term to begin with, and I'll deal with the consequences. Can't ask a player to do what the GM won't. I'm sure he'll be mortified to learn what Kunja thought he meant.

Actually, that still works for me. Remember that Kunja is the product of a breeding program that was in such a "breeding colony". So yeah, he'll still be really fuckin' pissed.

Hehe, as you like it. Just remember that I've got two air fleets of dragons aimed your way. Try to keep your temper in line :)

That and the fact that Aequitas is bigger, stronger, and older are the only reasons Kunja didn't go after him.

Quick note guys, while all this is happening, please don't neglect your captains inside the mess hall! I'm sure they're having a much more pleasant conversation.

... not that that's saying much.

Hey, I'm in there having a nice dinner of Liver and Onions... or whatever the British equiv. is.

Those in the dining hall can talk to Judith if they so chose.

OK... I just noticed this.

Page 6: Richard is outside talking Tactics with Dragons.

Page 7: SUDDENLY, Richard is inside the MessHall, watching the Marine walk in.

SHENNIGANS!!!!!!

"You take care of yourself boss," the dragon said softly.

"I will." The dragon watched his captain walk away.

Almost inaudibly the dragon whispered, "please."

Aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Big Bad Wendigo has a soft spot.

maybe this is just location confusion. I was under the impression that our CO was heading into the mess hall and conversing about tactics along the way.

Waldwanderer is currently outside.

Maybe I misread something

Comrade Tortoise · Post by **Comrade Tortoise** » Tue Oct 09, 2007 9:18 pm

nope. Didnt misread a damn thing. He was with our glorious CO, that is my story and I am sticking too it (I was posting while studying for an exam right before bed... so....)
