Claws At Your Throat

Never, ever deal with a dragon. Shadowrunners have heard that dictum so often, they frequently say those words in their sleep. But what the aphorism forgets to tell you is this—what if you don’t have a choice?

The tension between dragons has been growing, and the big lizards are throwing every weapon they have at each other, including shadowrunners—especially shadowrunners. Extractions, industrial sabotage, theft, wetwork—there's plenty of jobs in all those areas, and dragons are finding ways to get reluctant runners to work for them. Maybe they’ll hide their involvement in the run, or maybe they’ll bribe the runners with large piles of nuyen or blackmail them with their past activities. Or maybe they’ll just tell the runners they have a simple choice of working for them or being eaten.

Whatever tactics they choose, the dragons are going to be active and aggressive, and if runners want to survive, they better be on their toes. They need to know who the draconic players are, what they’re up to, and what might happen to them if they fall into a dragon’s grip. They need to be ready for anything, because when dragons go at each other, the world shakes, the earth beneath them burns—and far too often, shadowrunners die.

The Clutch of Dragons provides the information gamemasters and players need to involve draconic plots in their games, from profiles of individuals dragons, their plots, and their lairs to information about the latest efforts to build anti-dragon weapons. This is a critical reference for any players who want to test their skills against the machinations of dragons—or who want to see just how much trouble they can survive.

The Clutch of Dragons is for use with Shadowrun, Twentieth Anniversary Edition.

Sweet.
Any idea when it will be available in dead tree format? I think this one is one of the books I have to own physically  ;)

At Gen Con? :)

Likely hit stores a month or two after.  Maybe.  Don't quote me though, I know nothing about shipping and distribution :)

Still reading through the War at 10,000 feet chapter. All I can say is this: Holy fuck, everyone's screwed.

So, no chance they actually finished the PC Dragons rules from that old April Fools joke, is there? I honestly want to see those workable.

Hey.. when did the below occur?

[spoiler]

Can’t. Ever since runners procured Aztechnology’s satellite
weapons platform and turned it against the corporation, the
Corporate Court has shut down all satellite weapons systems,
including Thor Shots, until such time that new security measures
can be implemented and can prevent such an incident from
happening again. To this date, the Thor Shots are still offl ine.

Ok thanks.
We really needs more big international cons in my area. Gen Con is kind of out of the way all the way over in the new land.

God, I hope not.

But the man is 75 years old now. And has done a lot of re-wiring to his brain over the years. Hopefully, it's nothing more than old age.
