Frankly, if some damn fool takes Lofwyr on and somehow manages to win, they deserve the accomplishment. And the accompanying wrath of other great dragons, being the SOLE focus of Saeder-Krupp Prime, and other fun things that come with taking down both one of the Great Dragons and the head of a AAA megacorp in one swoop.

Your life expectancy would be HOURS.

Achievement Unlocked - "I Just Shot WHO?"

Seriously, there is this guy I played D&D with a while back. He described his characters as always having a certain quality: Always seeming to accidentally shoot the WORST possible person first.

As in, his first adventure experience was in the Witchfire Trilogy, and the first time he met Alexia, he reacted to her appearing by opening fire.

This did not end well for him...

For the record, I'd also be down with a 'Rookie Round-Up', a dosier series about young runners, rather than legends, who might turn into something someday. A member or two of Dev's team, for instance, or an Ork that Bull's started to mentor, or a magician that Man-of-Many-Names passed a fetish to, etc.

"Alright guys, my nephew Steve calls himself 'HomeSlice' ... yeah, it's a terrible name, but he refuses to change it, so, feel free to give him a new one. At any rate, he's a fair hacker with a penchant for combat crashing, rather than soft insertion, and doesn't mind going in meat-side. Since Slamm-o's gone couch potato, you might want to look into him. Here's a breakdown of his latest work..."

That sort of thing. Maybe someone pulled off a big run and they want to keep an eye on them to see if they have a future as a Jackpointer, or maybe they just ticked off the wrong person and are going to be used as an example of what NOT to do, but, regardless, give some airtime to the new blood.

But, that's just me.

The thing about great Dragons (And really, any "high karma", powerful mage) that everyone ALWAYS forgets is quickened and anchored spells.  Spells with triggers attached to them.  Lots of spells with lots of triggers.

At the very least, were I Lofwyr?  "Fireball, Force 50" centered on him if his health ever drops low enough to kill him. 

But more likely "Detect Threat" linked to a high force Barrier, Invisibility, Healing, and illusion spell. That's how perianwyr always manages to survive the old Mercurial adventure :)

But really, unless your name is Twist, if you piss off a dragon, you should just get the hell out of town.

I will miss reading about wacky anchoring setups using the SR2 rules.

Really? That low, huh?

Well, dragons tend to be protective of the environment. You do it too big, you set the atmosphere on fire, and everything's cooked.

If reading this forum has become painful for me, by God I'm not going to suffer alone.

Frankly I do like the Street Legend idea of giving more information about SR universe key people.
But I also think that giving them statistics was a mistake.
"If you stat them, they can be killed?"
That reason among others...
