On the Use of Dragons: The Raising of Beasts
« on: December 05, 2011, 04:21:26 pm »

Time for something different and utterly cliche.
---------------------------------
Our world is Earth. Nothing really different from our Real Life. You have China over there being a recluse, The Europeans killing each other, and you have the Middle Eastern guys, also killing each other. Oh and we're in the year 1096 AD. What makes this world different from Real Life? Oh one word: dragons. You know big ol' fire-breathing lizards with wings? Yeah. I'm putting 5 players (yes this is a multiplayer game) in the role of five people lucky enough to get a dragon.
---------------------------------
So, character sheet...

As for the dragon itself, well...just wait and see.

Jump to some interesting bits.

The Bestiary-A list of creatures encountered in the game and some in-character info.

Depends on where you start. Dragons adapt to suit their environment, like every other organism. But for the most part, they'll be in the shape of your classical western dragon...Kinda.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
