Aliens and Dragons

Saturday, May 25, 2013


Illustration by Kate Maximovich

In the upcoming installment of the Reign of Winter Adventure Path, Pathfinder #70: The Frozen Stars, the PCs' quest brings them to the planet Triaxus in the midst of its generations-long winter. I don't want to spoil anything for those of you playing in the Adventure Path, but there are dragons... and aliens.

- No, out in space, gathering power! Raise the shields children! Raise the shields!"

and this is what passes through my mind...


But are there alien dragons?

A half-dragon destrachan looks pretty damn alien to me.

It makes me think of Santa Clause Conquers the Martians.

Bow down before the power of Santa!

Head butt!


Are it high tech aliens or aliens in the form of Destrachan, Witchwyrd and Aboleths?

I would totally dig the latter and totally ignore the high tech.


There's no high tech on Triaxus.

Aliens and Dragons? Should we beware of Threadfall?


The blue dragon looks like it is laughing.

The Pern series was undoubtably one inspiration for Triaxus, along with the Heliconia novels. :)

And I wouldn't put it past Eox to send some nastiness to them in the form of fungal warfare/whatever ... or even better, something "thrown off" from Aucturn! ... Maybe it's one method for the Dominion of the Black to "soften up" the opposition before entering a system in force ...


Ugh, lentils. Man, i so WISH Santa made an appearance in this game.

Insert comment about tourists going on about "foreigners" while in other countries. :)

On a partially related note, I love love LOVE that we got some Triaxan animals that are actually of the animal creature type.

Agreed!

Also, I <heart> wollipeds.

If you are about to kill a Dragon and an Alien pops out of its chest do you still get the experience points?

If you let the chestburster escape, you get the XP and then have the fun of hunting down the Dragon Xenomorph it'll grow into!
