An unfortunate fellow that actually loved Circe and in his love was brought back as a leader of her army. <br /><br />Those that question, die. So he leds the troops. No questions asked anymore.<br /><br />The dragon is either a young blue or a drake sent by its master to assist the sourceress in her task. <br /><br />She wishes to suffer onto those that rejected and hurt her by destroying them, their guild, and their cities.

Some thought...Neat idea and great cover of choice!<br /><br />Some thoughts...<br /><br />Orcs living above ground allied with Undead of the catacombs? Proposterous you say? Sorry ladies and gents but I direct your attention to the world's most popular MMO, World of Warcraft. In WoW the Undead and the Orcs are uneasy bedfellows and members of the Horde with a number of other species. Maybe Circe knows something that keeps the two in her thrall or from destroying each other.<br /><br />In some of my old campaigns it was rare, though not unheard of, for two Chromatic Dragons of different colors to mate. The Wintergreen (Green/White) Dragon breathed a sort of Freon/Liquid Nitrogen like mist. The Deep Crimson (Red/Black) breathed a burning, naplam-like liquid.<br /><br />Perhaps this is a Blue/Black, breathing an electrified battery acid.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-83604978619744918942011-04-13T21:37:22.381-05:002011-04-13T21:37:22.381-05:00I did something like this on my nihilistic gaming ...I did something like this on my nihilistic gaming web blog BLUR on a dare:<br /><br />http://blur-rpg.blogspot.com/2009/12/turning-can-of-lysol-spray-into-game.html<br /><br />It's a great exercise and can help if you feel stuck in a rut or just need a break from the routine.<br /><br />Now I'm going to have to unpack some U-Haul boxes of zines and see what inspires me :)xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814063435676111475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-26837304298539029132011-04-13T20:53:34.752-05:002011-04-13T20:53:34.752-05:00Jeff, that's awesome.
