OK, so i was soaking in a nice hot tub, playing with my little submarine(don't ask) after jut having left the dumpshock boards.
And suddenly, my Mind went:"Wait what? Stop, rewind. Where IS the Big G? I can't remember even the smallest little hint at him" And that thought struck me as odd . . because let us be honest . . There's NOBODY who does not know him. So why is there not even a little insider Gag, or someone mentioning him in Shadowtalk, in ANY of the Books? Closest would be the Big G / Big D . . or am i missing something here? |

A Toxic Dragon. There has to be one near Nagasaki or Hiroshima.
Or maybe an enormous Toxic Free Spirit (Beast or Fire, maybe)? Closest I can recall was Bloodzilla, but that was named by a player. -paws PS In Mutants and Masterminds' Freedom City setting, there is a small island in the Pacific called Kaiju Island (spelling?). For some reason, everything grows big and mutated there, including giant Godzilla-like lizards that breathe fire... |

Since Godzilla is really "just" a movie creature and not a legend (AFAIK, prove me wrong) there is no reason. But it would be awesome if a dragon leveld a to... oh wait, didn't Lung destroy Teheran?

I think it was Aden (spelling?) that destroyed Tehran.
And don't get me started about that bit of canon stupidity. -paws |

Sometimes one has to wonder about how "destroyed" is being used. And other times, one has to turn on their suspension of disbelief. Grow up in CFS and you get a free indoctrination to the absurd in Shadowrun early. |

Since I've never played a game set out side North America, let alone the Middle East, its really a moot point. Still... the whole thing is too QUOTE (BlueMax @ Apr 29 2009, 02:44 PM) Grow up in CFS and you get a free indoctrination to the absurd in Shadowrun early. I guess I'll take your work for that.

Also, it is an Awesome place. -paws |

There's an off-hand reference in Shadows of Asia - Oceania chapter. Also a few nice cross-genre puns regarding the Shadowtalker commenting on fish-people. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Rubber Suit? I thought the Gojira-themed club was Tokyo Shoe.

Tokyo Shoe got the complete first-printing Gojira collection and related films from Dunkelzhan's will.
I hadnt heard of it until then. The Rubber Suit is a different club altogether. I guess Seattle has 2 Kaiju themed clubs. |

For comparison sake and due to being bored at the 2am. Large iguana: 22 pounds (4 feet) Original Godzilla: 20,000 tons (164 feet), iguana would be .00005% (weight) '91+ Godzilla: 60,000 tons (328 feet), iguana would be .000017% (weight) Either way that would make for one gigantic walnut. |

Not to mention the fact that the size of the brain has not much to do with intelligence.

Also, compare Humans with Cats. |
