Gah, I'm so sad I missed this :( I love Pernese clutches. Will you be holding more clutches in the future by any chance?

The problem with running clutches, I think, is that it really seems like more work on your part than simply leaving images up on a page. If you're willing to do the work then that's great, but in the "old days" when Pernese Weyrs were pretty much everywhere, it got frustrating when there'd...

Yes! Planet dragons! Want! :D The concept sketches look awesome, too. I like Venus and Saturn the best so far. Venus almost kind of has that "Old world queen" look, which is oh-so-appropriate. @Dray: Yeah, sorry, I've been around, but I'm in the midst of school-hell right now so I'm only a...

I sent in a couple of candidates (we're allowed to send two, right?). I had to delete my comment and start over, though, because I realized I pretty much ripped off Dray's char verbatim -- and completely by accident! Also T'var and Marandoth are finally paged: http://www.dragoncla.ws/weyr/wr/tvar.html

I find it nearly impossible to have any sort of coherent timeline in my worlds because quite frankly, time does not flow realistically in the Nexus. When clutches are happening on a common basis, then time would flow more quickly, in theory, than it does IRL because the dragons grow up and start bre...

I really liked "The Last DragonLord" and "Dragon and Phoenix" by Joanne Bertin. There was supposed to be a third book in the series, but the author seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet, which is a shame.

Oh, cool, a bronze! :D Thanks Cy! And actually I think the personality makes a lot of sense, though it seems a more brown-type personality.

Because any excuse to procrastinate studying for midterms is a good excuse, I went ahead and paged him:

Another thing to consider is that a lot of species of dragons have immortality, and near-invulnerability, which could effect game balance a bit I think. Like you have the balespawn, which are nigh on impossible to kill, and you go send them off to do missions and they wrack up tons of points with mi...

Good luck with moving! I've got a candidate in progress for you as well. Sorry to hear about your snake, though :( Seems odd that they don't want reptiles of all things, as those seem fairly tame and non-house-destroying comparatively.
