Now I sorta like the linkage ... it happens to be a very interesting way of
linking the two. It also saves starved for resources GM's (like me) from
having to generate one's own world to explain it all. What I have done is
assume that ED is SO far in the past that it really doesn't relate; only a
few major ... ahem ... threads relate. Most of the ED stuff that I throw
in is after magic has gotten to the point that the dragons have gone to
sleep, the other name givers are gone or dying out, and a lot of things are
memories or legends. In a future fiction story I have a great idea of
having the last king of Barsaive and an Ork scorcher get frozen in an Ice
Age glacier only to be found in 2058+ (gotta hate global warming). There
are a lot of ficition aspects that really could be fun to play with.
1) The last king enjoys being a "regular joe" no intrigues, no plots, no
knives on the backs from freinds ... just muggers
2) The ork scorcher looks at the rights that an ork has now and revels in
their social standing and decides to become a tremendous leader among them
... and in
***Spoiler For Secrets Of The Dragon***
turn teaches the orks in the Seattle area their ancient language.
I agree that trying to directly convert one to the other leads to a heck of
a lot of headaches, but using it as spice ... not to much or all you taste
is spice ... -Justin Wilson I ga-ron-tee::: is a good way to give your game
a lot of flavor with a little bit of work.
