I've been thinking of updating the Will...but all I would add would be some clarifications as to the benefactors rather than any useful data.
So, I figured I'd ask for evyerbody's questions/comments/speculation/takes on any bequest in the Will that strikes your fancy. If what thou sayest hast merit, in it goes, next update. Whattaya tink? |

I'm curious about the pictures at the end of the will. Specifically, the Mars photos and the flying saucer thingy...weird

Those were all described in Missions. Suffice to say, the saucer's fake, and the bones are NOT those of a dragon.

Where does it say they aren't? (just asking)
What happened to the items given to Hualpa and Amazonia? (any SR/ED info?) |

You might want to wait just a while longer for an official update on the Will. Adam mentioned it before but an IC update/review of the Will is in the works for upload soon.
Hualpa's legacy, the Elemental Scrolls, are the subject of a theft while on loan to MitS in one adventure in the "Corporate Punishment" pack and are returned to Hualpa during the Rite of Succession in "SotF". What they actually do is still a mystery but they're obviously a hold over from the Fourth World. |

I say they aren't. Yay me.
The Elemental Scrolls of Ak'lea'ar, after a brief and exciting tour of Boston, should now be back in Hualpa's talons. The other artifacts...there are theories, but no hard info. The Pale Orchid (possibly an old artifact Icewing had that could defeat any armor) Ashes of the Great Tree (possibly the ashes of the Tree that grew from All-Wing's heart) The last one is a bit of a puzzle, as there were several trees it could be the Ashes of. [/edit] Dammit, Syn beat me. :S |

If you must have a reason:
1)it says nothing in Missions about the bones belonging to a dracoform 2)It doesn't really look like a dracoform 3)The thigh bone was too small for any but the tiniest dracoforms 4)Why would a dracoform build a pyramid? |

Just to update people on the status of the Will project (and actually beating Adam to the punch on something :D ):
It's being worked on still and hopefully the first part will be posted in a about a month (fingers crossed). There will be both in character posts and actual game info presented. And not every entry will have something pertaining to it since some of the plotlines started by the Will are still in play. Hope this helps everyone. |

Just as sidenote..
on the official german shadowrun-page, they uploaded a german translation of dunkies will a while ago... and I think I heard somewhere that the Aboriginees call ayers rock (spelling?) "where a Rock meets the Sky"... but I can't remeber it exactly.... @AH: !!!!!KEEP THAT SITE!!!!! and why don't you have any info on the photos on your site? |

Is it possible for the Martian bones to be T'skrang? Don't ask me how they got there.

I read something about everyone recieving them was a mage/shaman, and they were actually magical talismans... |

Not to my knowledge. They call it Uluru, a word which has no specific meaning, it's just their name for the rock. |

Fix-it: It depends on which tokens you mean. Ones that went to people like Robert J. Hemendes and Glenn Dudley are in the Annotated Will under the proper section.
The Token to Craig Sanchez in in the Will under the proper section. The others? Dunno. Shadowboxer: The thing and the whole of the thing withthe Pictures is in Missions. I didn't want to spoil a good adventure by giving away everything. |

I wish! :D In-game that might very well be true, but in actuality most of these were real people who sent in the absentee ballots for the '57 election. The tokens themselves consisted of a free copy of Dunkelberry's Secrets, Press Passes to various political functions, and a stock certificate for one share in a Shadowrun Corporation. Mine was for the Atlantean Foundation! :) |

The folks who received tokens of Dunkelzahn's esteem are all real people. I can't account for most of them, but some of them are people who did nice things for Steve Kenson (James Meiers comes to mind).

Almost all. There are a few like Craig Sanchez who are really only SR personalities. |

I finally gave up trying to figure out exactly what it could be and started writing an adventure for it. Almost got it ready to unleash on my players. :D |
