Ok my comments on the lack of 'meat' for Dragons and other
Paranormals. My problem supplies wise is that i have not really used
dragons as a GM so have very little pre written stuff i can send to
the list. I am however intending to put up a lesser dragon i wrote up
the other week and may get round to writting into my game sometime,
thats the only reason i got round to it. I will put up a seperate
post for the research spell it will have explaining all the ins and
outs and how i get the armour ratings (read dragon stats when they
get to the list, this afternoon i hope to understand this lot)
The dragon himself will be in submission format.

I also have several rules expansions for other things but the only
critter i have was the gremlins i posted. I have also used 'Drow' but
am not posting them for 2 reasons.
1) T$R copyright may apply
2) if you have paranormal animals of europe and the TSR stats then
game converting them yourself is easy, after all they are merly elves
with some spells and inate powers and a society, not much new game
mechanics.

Some folks may have seen the 'Physical Magicians' post i put on the
rec.games.frp.cyber newsgroup, i also have a few more bits in this
sort of line that i could put up but they fall outside the scope of
the present title, don't know if anyone has any opinions on that. For
those that did not see that post don't go looking it will be off the
group by now, the gist was take phsAd and a magic priority of A.

I also have other stuff i have done for my own useage but only
managed to get the list working about a week before the Shadowlore 2
submission deadline so have not had a chance to get involved in any
of the products before Dragons etc.

A Dragon for comment this afternoon i hope!!! (no flames or i'll send
him to flame you)

:-( . i might get round to something but doubt it as due to T$R this
will be bottom priority you certainly won't get anything that would
let you off needing the T$R stuff

I'll stick it on the list, the things so quiet we could do with some
volume, it saves two international posts of it for me and it is
'Paranormal' so i suppose it could be called related.
