[QUOTE="QuietBrowser, post: 6932326, member: 6855057"] I appreciate the sentiment. Your statement is definitely viable, but you've made me curious; is there any way I could edit the relevant paragraph in the gazetteer to recapture that initial "okay, kind of a cool idea" that you've said I've missed? I would much rather keep them and make them fit, because they were always intended as being part of what emphasizes their status as "fallen dragons", than simply take the easy route and abandon them. Incidentally, I'm still morbidly curious about how creepy their reproductive strategy ultimately came across as in the gazetteer proper, if you can spare a thought on that after you've gamed. It's a good point, but, well, since I don't have players, I'm working on this entire project for one simple reason: I like world-building. Even the racial gazetteers are more about fleshing out the world so people who look into this project can better experience the world I'm making. I don't need to worry about things like "can the players play this?" because I'm not doing this for my particular group to run. I'm doing this because I want to make this world. Appreciate the sentiment... but, well, let's just say that Roll20 isn't an option for me. I literally can't run it, thanks to the network strength I'm forced to operate on where I live. Talking about this stuff on forums is all that I have. And on a more cheerful note, here's my first draft of the Forgeborn's Phyisology entry for their gazetteer. How do people think they look? I will confess, a big part of their inspiration came from 4e's elemental dwarves - Azers, Galeb Duhr and Eisk Jaat - with a little from this pic by an artist called MarkDaySaid that I'm pretty sure I can't link to here due to it being NSFW.
