It's most likely inaccurate, Lung, Ryumyo, and Masaru are almost certainly in Lof's camp. He's also been talking to Aden far too much to the two to be enemies.

I would have thought that Lung and Ryumyo would do everything in their collective power to be on opposite sides of any line-up...

They might fight each other but both have similar views and are both big on tradition. If it comes down to traditionalists vs. progressives they'll be on the traditionalists side. 
REJOICE! For bad things are about to happen.

Oh lord yes.

"Hmm. Choose between you or her? Well now, that *is* an interesting question. I wonder what each of you might offer for my support?"

Not even that.  A great dragon could be waiting to attack the winner before the winner is able to rebuild their resources, and claim the victory as their own.

Another thing is that people should not think about groups of dragons as being teams.  I find it best to think of them as nations, that may unite from time to time and form allies, but will almost always promote their own interest first.

How anti metahuman can Loftwyr be if his hoard is tied up in the number one rated corporation, dependent on metahumans to buy its products. I think the "traditional" vs. "progressive" is a more accurate. It just so happens that the traditionalists see metahumans as subservient at best.

That's disgusting.  The catsup, I mean.  Use sriracha instead.

For the record, I'm looking forward to the Clutch of Dragons release. Haven't worked on it, so I don't have a clue what's in there, but I'm willing to bet that there might be some talk about dragons in there.

Just a couple of words.

A few.

A smidge even.

There might be some dragon talk in Clutch.  Maybe.

I wouldn't know though.  I spent most of my section talking about something other than Dragons.  Go figure. :)

I have had an ass full of dragons, but that's because in writing Clutch I've managed to crawl up my own ass getting lost in the minutiae of dragons and Shadowrun in general. Nothing like sitting down to work on a draft and then realizing several hours later that I haven't touched Word but I have six PDFs open. And that's not even accounting for the days I spent looking up info on something that I didn't even realize I could spend days reading and thinking about.
