Well, as it seems it may be possible to weadle secrets out of FASAMike with
offers of food, money, or being nice to him.....

Someone on r.g.f.c has just asked if anything is ever going to be done on
Africa, Asia, Aussieland or Amazonia....

He also mentioned an interview session at a con when one of the panel said
something along the lines of....

"As for Tibet, you'll never find out what's happening there...."
For which he received an icy stare from another panelist.....


Now what is all this about Tibet??????

Come on....

You can tell us.....

We won't tell anyone else.....

Honest!

Actually, I heard somone over on the NERPS list say something similar, but
they said that it was (maybe) Tom Dowd, and Tom mentioned something about a
magical force dome over Tibet... And the other FASA reps with him got mad
about that...

I dont want to be flamed or anything, but i believe there is a mentioning
about tiber and the magical dome over it in one of the sourcebooks, cant
remember which one tho, could be Grimouir II but im not sure, you might

As I remember it, it was the other way around, but hey, I wasn't there
when it happened so all I know is what's been said about it on the list :)

actually its about three comments.
The one about the magical dome.
The full timeline as per world without end (appendix) lists tibet as
sealed off.
There is an item in Dunks Will which provides access to Tibet! once
only i think but.

As far as i know the three comments i listed above sum it up.
Certainly GR2 contains nothing.

Something! is certainly going on in Tibet but i haven't found any
leaks yet as to what, and i don't suppose Mikes likely to help
considering anything that makes it to the list will be half round the
planet 30 seconds later, and across it moments later.

Or it poses the question of what has to happen for more than icy
stares.
Are we every going to find out?
? is that where Dinklezhan is? its not as anyone could prove hes in a
country no one can get into!

Aaaah, but if Dunk's book says there is an item that allows passage, then
someone can find out if he's in there.

Mike has said that specific country/area sourcebooks are pretty much
being left up to the country/area in question, ala The Germany
Sourcebook.

Could be a lot, could be nothing. I'm sure that Mike has a stack of
ideas and directions that he can use or ignore as rumor. One of the
reasons that FASA is tight lipped about this kind of stuff is that
they don't know if or how they will use it and don't want
foot-in-mouth disease.

Ah 1 person can, but i said prove! :), you really going to believe
this one guy walking back out of Tibet claiming he saw Dunkelzhan in
there, ok so its the head of Raku, but!

I have been thinking further.
Why when comments are made that people must stop using 'big magic' eg
the Tir's Veil is Tibet not on the list ?
Why does Dunklezhan of all folks have a way in?
This thing went up in 2012, so either Dragons or immortal elevs must
have put it up (no time to train anyone else even if they 'just gave
em everything').
One idea was a dragon Hatchery but the fact that dragon eggs have
shown up (if you don't know where be carefull what you open :) ),
rather suggests thays not the case.

ideas?

oh well

Happy Christmas everyone

Mark
