[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 4002012, member: 29746"] [b]Old poster delurking in 5... 4... 3...[/b] Been off the boards for a few months, been lurking again for about a month to catch up on what I missed- and now it seems time for me to rejoin the collective. Actually Brane is already taken, by me- though I checked the thread a few minutes ago and it seems the new boards don't want to display the post (it was post #612 in the Epic Bestiary thread- right now it looks blank). I suspect length problems, given what I've read elsewhere on ENWorld since my return to lurking. Fortunately the old text is still there for editing, so I may repost it in parts in the near future. I made it a Nehaschimic dragon, but one that had more starting HD than any of the three types mentioned in Bestiary Vol. 1 (Bestiary has 512 as the biggest, my dragon starts with 608). Just as the Nexus Dragon is supposed to be the "wormhole dragon," I gave the "brane dragon" an alternate "common" name- the Firmament Dragon. And BTW U_K, if you want to use that in a future supplement, I hereby give you full legal permission to do so with no expectation of any form of payment- other than a credit for writing on the beast of course. But Muhlatimic Dragons are a very intriguing idea, I would like to see one or more of them. Supersymmetric or Strong Symmetric might work, depending on what context of "supersymmetric" one uses as a basis for the monster idea. On-topic for this thread, I do like the idea of a series of smaller supplements that get collected into a larger book at some point; faster release is a Good Thing and this way we might get to see cool stuff more quickly than we otherwise would have. I'll edit this post in a bit with full details on my voting list and why I picked those monster types.
