No reason why not, the so called babble in a lot of the FASA books
makes for interesting reading, see for instance the 'open forum' in
the Tir Taingire. Don't know what everyone else is going to think
though.

I won't complain as long as you take care not to mix up character and
game information. I have been trying to avoid actually putting
statistics for a sensibly organised Great dragon down on paper as i
think the results could be somewhat scary by the time the romp
through the Grimorie has come to en end. Lesser dragons are more
reasonable after all if you need stats for a great dragon i think you
must have a merc group not shadowrunners on your hands and it might
be an idea to miss on Dunk and similar FASA popular dragons

for those that don't know there are stats for a great dragon in prime
runners though no 'locked' magic is listed and the spell list and
skills are basically guides along the lines of the numbers are
arround 'x', where x is something silly. Perinwry has both first and
2nd edition stats given in adventures and there are some more though
i haven't actually seen the stats.

Runners guesses and battle reports might be more useful, just note
game rules, i get very fed up with FASA when i read of bullets
bouncing off critters all ways in the shadow talk and then compare
how the game stats would stand up against your average FASA archtype
with ares predator, Bang Bang - no critter.
