The Clutch of Dragons
 |
Claws At Your Throat
Never¸ ever deal with a dragon. Shadowrunners have heard that dictum so often¸ they frequently say those words in their sleep. But what the aphorism forgets to tell you is this - what if you don't have a choice?
The tension between dragons has been growing¸ and the big lizards are throwing every weapon they have at each other¸ including shadowrunners - especially shadowrunners. Extractions¸ industrial sabotage¸ theft¸ wetwork - there's plenty of jobs in all those areas¸ and dragons are finding ways to get reluctant runners to work for them. Maybe they'll hide their involvement in the run¸ or maybe they'll bribe the runners with large piles of nuyen or blackmail them with their past activities. Or maybe they'll just tell the runners they have a simple choice of working for them or being eaten.
Whatever tactics they choose¸ the dragons are going to be active and aggressive¸ and if runners want to survive¸ they better be on their toes. They need to know who the draconic players are¸ what they're up to¸ and what might happen to them if they fall into a dragon's grip. They need to be ready for anything¸ because when dragons go at each other¸ the world shakes¸ the earth beneath them burns - and far too often¸ shadowrunners die.
The Clutch of Dragons provides the information gamemasters and players need to involve draconic plots in their games¸ from profiles of individuals dragons¸ their plots¸ and their lairs to information about the latest efforts to build anti-dragon weapons. This is a critical reference for any players who want to test their skills against the machinations of dragons - or who want to see just how much trouble they can survive.
The Clutch of Dragons is for use with Shadowrun¸ Twentieth Anniversary Edition.
