• Dragons!

  • Dan brings up an old review of Earthdawn that says the game “does dragons right.”

  • In Earthdawn, dragons are characters. They have goals and motivations, sometimes in line with the PCs, sometimes not.

  • Dragons are not, generally, “nice.” They tend to take the long view and may have an alien mindset of a kind.

  • Dragons might be fond of individual Namegivers but might not necessarily “care” about them as we might think of that.

  • Summary of native dragon abilities.

  • Very formal society; rituals and ceremonies of all kinds that allow them to exist as a society and minimize direct violent conflict.

  • An overview of draconic life cycle. Eggs are held by Great Dragons, hatchlings educated by their guardian.

  • Adolescence (and resemblance to wyverns).

  • Josh spins some theories and potential hooks related to the similarity.

  • Final form relates to guardian dragon type (and a basic overview of the four types).
