That's all I have to say on the matter.

Hhmm, what a wide choice of answers. Think I'll vote a resounding "No!" on this one.

Bring back Dunkelzahn, then. Write a 10,000 word adventure for me/the Shadowrun Supplemental that involves the return of Dunkelzahn - and meshes with the current FanPro plotline, including any material in Dragons of the Sixth World, and a bright shiny copy of Shadows of Europe will be yours if I like the adventure enough to put it in TSS-20.
Easy, isn't it? :) |

I'll take the challenge. I'm gonna take a smidge of time though, to comprehensively read any material I've missed though. |

Hmmm.... if the runners were hired by Ghostwalker to gather what he needs to make another dragon scale soul-hold. Then to get a number of wildly insane otaku and deckers. Then they have to do a number of things while the dragon and psychos build a matrix access soul-hold.
Finally, Dunkie, Lord of the Matrix! |

No, no, no!
Dunk was a great character, his death a great plothook. But he's dead now. Let him rest in peace. Bringing him back would be the worst kind of lame. |

Wait, I have a submission (allegedly) going into TSS-20, can I have a copy of SoE? Please? :( |

Those of you urging the return of Dunkelzahn...
You really hate the Shadowrun world so much that you want it to be overrun with Horrors in short order? I mean, I'm not used to hearing people advocate the end of the game world quite so vehemently. ~J |

The story will have to explain how they reformed his body, not get mistaken for a shedim and seperated form the CZ he's currently nmelded with and wandering around on the metaplanes.
And, for the record, my vote's "NO." |

Have him put out a couple of albums, like Tupac still seems to do every year or so.
I think Big D's music would have a different feel, though. |

Yes, it would be lame. But I do have to say I like him contacting the DF and Ghostwalker.
Although I could imagine them having more than a little spat over the whole drake issue. |

could Dunkie summon Watchers to him where he is and use them to communicate with others? is it possible to find him in the metaplanes?

Well, it may be because the choices are yes and yes.
Call it a Florida election. |

I think it's possible to find him, yes. But it won't be easy.
And I vote: No! Fragging no! |

If we brought back Dunk, not only would it spell the end of what grit we have left, it would also set a precedent, and pretty soon we'd be playing in the Marvel Universe, where the only one that stays dead is Bucky. I liked Dunk. Awesome guy. If he comes back, I will be forced to make my players shoot him in the head until he ceases to move. And I'll make it so simple that even my players couldn't screw it up.. |

Absolutely.
If multiple people want to rise to the challenge, no problem. |

Dunkie returning isnt something that is/isn't lame.
The way he comes back is what makes it lame. I think that if the way in which he comes back is really cool i could accept the idea of him coming back. Now if he just appears on a TV show saying " I am back, it was all a joke"... |

Keep Dunkie involved in his postmortem affairs? Easy to do; in addition to his current role keeping the Horrors away, he moonlights as the avatar for the heads of the Draco Foundation/DIMR.
Resurrect his role as "Joe Dataterm's dragon"? That's simple enough too. Have some not-great dragon see the benefits of living openly and happily with metahumanity. Cheesy as all get out, and watered down as any sequel, but doable. Just keep in mind that this dunkie-wannabe will draw plenty of in-game flak for being a poser and a copycat, but so long as the fact that this is a conscious choice to be a copy is kept clear, Dunkhelzahn-II should fit into the landscape without too much effort. Making either of these have jack squat to do with your average shadowrunner? Barring the bad-design school of "nothing happens when you're not around" and having the PC's for some godawful reason have to muck with the upper elchions of power/the entertainment industry, I can't think of a single reason why anyone not involved would even know about the former, and the latter simply gets relegated to background chatter. 10,000 words on the subject is more than a little much to ask. (Although... If you had several non-great dragons all trying to become The Next Dunkhelzahn (greats already have their niches), a little shadow mudslinging might come around. Just keep in mind that these are scaly, awakended prima-donnas, not power players in any real sense.) |
