Aarakocra, Baby.

Damn.

Once upon a time, if I missed a Dragon, I'd curse and scramble to find an alternate source. Nowadays, not so much. Back in tha day, when Dragon covered other games and systems, I freaking loved it; I'd happily convert a Top Secret module over to Gamma World, D&D or Champions ("KGB? OK...

Wimmen be all different from men, see.
