Re: Dragons!
And now I'm thinking about dragons...and Chinatown, and that I do need something both suitably impressive and indicative of faded glory. Not too cliche I hope, having a dragon hiding out in chinatown with those few that still believe in it?

Re: Dragons!
@OP
My interest with dragons only increased over time. I have a WIP that involves an evil dragon beating the S$!* out of an army of good guys.
My penultimate dragon is the more western style, quadrupedal, big, scaled, manes if they can manage, and big wings, and can't forget some sort of breath weapon.

Re: Dragons!
Stumbled upon a dragon interactive story a couple of days ago, and while they don't give you an option as to whether or not your dragon kidnaps a princess, it does let you decide why, and one of the possible reasons is to say that dragons get bored and occasionally kidnap princesses because they're more likely to be educated; more capable of telling the dragon about how history has progressed since the last time he checked.Berserker wrote:One of the most profound comments on immortality is quoted from Shadow of the Vampire:
"Dracula hasn't had servants in 400 years and then a man comes to his ancestral home, and he must convince him that he... that he is like the man. He has to feed him, when he himself hasn't eaten food in centuries. Can he even remember how to buy bread? How to select cheese and wine? And then he remembers the rest of it. How to prepare a meal, how to make a bed. He remembers his first glory, his armies, his retainers, and what he is reduced to. The loneliest part of the book comes... when the man accidentally sees Dracula setting his table."
I could see this as a dragon's loneliness. Not that he outlives everyone he loves, but that he outlives life itself, that he is too powerful for life itself.
Read that and immediately thought of the above quoted material. Long life + big brain = stupidity-inducing boredom.

Re: Dragons!
Thought I'd show you guys my poker dragon figure collection.
There is 16 pieces to this set. I'm still missing 2 pieces. I should get them in a couple of weeks.
