They kept it secret to maintain that monopoly.One of the Grand Masters of this Cabal had a problem: He was even less than half the man he used to me. You see, his body was destroyed in an "accident", and after that he only survived as a magically preserved head. Naturally, this is a state of affairs he does not like, and he uses his considerable resources (financial and otherwise) to search for a way to get a new body.Finally, his researchers find a ritual that might just do the trick. And it only needs several thousands of gallons of genuine dragon's blood.Unfortunately, the last dragon on Earth died in 1531.But this Grand Master is a resourceful guy - he decides to simply create new dragons through a combination of powerful magic and modern technology and genetic engineering. The first dragon hatches out of a Tiamat-Class fusion reactor in Manila in 2031. Many others follow around the world. The researchers believe them to be none-too-bright and easily controlled.They are wrong. Dead wrong.First, the dragons unleashed horrible plagues that decimated most of humanity. After that, they unleashed hordes of werecreatures, zombies, vampires, wraiths, elementals, liches, spirits, trolls, and uncounted lesser dragons un an unsuspecting humanity until they had conquered the Earth and killed most human beings. The Final War was over, and the dragons had won.The 18 surviving Great Dragon divided the world into an equal number of zones. Each pursues its own agenda, which range from ecological restoration  to space exploration, and these agendas are increasingly coming into conflict with each other. Meanwhile, the shell-shocked survivors are trying to come to terms with the new realities of the world and organize a resistance...This could easily be run with D&D - just throw in modern equipment from Spycraft or d20 Modern, and you are set!(To read the full article, you need Pyramid access - but at only $15 a year for weekly articles and reviews, this is a steal!
