Is it true that Dunklezahn is on the net? And if so is he cybered, or
just tortoising?
Also What about Cybernetics for Dragons?
Last but not least would it at least be safe to assume that if they
aren't actually on the net that they have a servant who is?

Apologies if I am covering already covered material but my resubscribe
was late...

I suspect that 'The Big 'D'' is a) on the .net, and b) fully surfing.
I imagine that most regular headware would be capable of being inserted
into a dragon, as well -- datajacks, softlinks, headware radios/telephones,
and the like.

>>>>>[ I would agree that he's on the net, after the number of
comments bearing his mark left in shadowland i really cannot see that
it could be someone else, after all i don't think impersonation is
somethogh that would make a media star such as the big 'D' very, well
happy with the perpatrator. As to using cyberware, well i don't see
why not really, you get cybered doggies after all and dragons are a
sentient species. The problem is would a wiz worm like cyberware in
his head, would he trust a surgeon to put it in?, the answer could be
magic, after all the discussion over how they might use it to fly
couldn't they just use it to access the net?, they are supposed to be
far cleaver than most folks after all. Yeah i know what you're going
to say, the two don't mix, but the nets only electrons and light
pulses e.t.c. and magic copes with other man made objects just fine.
Any thoughts? ]<<<<<

Game:
any ideas? i haven't read 'Imago' which mentions mixing magic and the
net on the back cover. For those wondering why this one has a
European time/date stamp unlike the last, well i'm in Europe so i
think its a good idea only the last one was based on a run and the
charcter was UCAS based hence why he would have generated an UCAS
stamp.
yes i know i removed the email comment marks but the result looks
tidier without them.

Try reading that adventure, what's it called, the one with the dragon that's
lost its memory -- Dragon Hunt, that's it (the first SR adventure I ran...
brings back memories :). That dragon (Eliohann) had datajacks but went
insane (well, lost its memory) when exposed to the matrix.

Definitely, we should not forget to include "The Bid 'D'", "The Laughing
Man"
"H." et. al. :)

Maybe, but who's doing the surgery? Is a dragon going to let a human
A)learn THAT much detail about Dragon physiology and B)perform the
operation on him?

Well, yes -- but then, in my game (and in rumors I'm going to be sticking up
on the shadowtalk) Eliohann was, very shortly, brought to the attention of
Dunkelzahn. The Big 'D' brought the lesser drake 'under his wing' (no pun
intended). Eliohann now surfs the Matrix as 'Darkheart', of Marvel Comics/
Daredevil fame.

And remember, Eliohann also got physically assaulted just as he was jacking
in for the first time....
