Cmon peeps they made him president when we showed our popular support, only by raising hands and voices can we save Dunky from a metaplanar existence as a cyberzombie.

I was going to vote "Other" with the explantion:
"Not just No, but HELL NO! But I figured that a plain "No" vote with the same explanation would better serve my intended purpose. |

He should die along with Burnout, leaving the world in the direct path of the Horrors once more.

I'd like to see Ghostwalker strip him out of Burnout and set him free.

I don't think he should come back. I just really wish the whole assassination plotline resolution had been handled better.

Yeah ... pretty much like SURGE should have been handled better. 'Nice ideas gone bad, part 2'. Also, what's dead is dead, and Dunky resurrection would not only waste the whole metaplot after his demise, but also make the game incredibly cheesy. I mean, what'd he be then, blue scaly jesus monster? In case you didn't get the hint, it's a NO!!!!! from my side. EDIT: And what hints are you talking about? |

No. No more of that crappy Dunkelzahn-plot, please not. And please let no other GD become the good one who cares about humanity and only wnats their best. Please not. GD and IE's are the unlovable bad-asses and that's the way it should be.

I think my wife has the makings of a true shadowrunner. I was describing the background of the world to her ready to play a game, and when I finished with the Dunkelzahn assassination (not having progressed much past that at the time) her only comment was "Anyone see the body?" Before I found out about the fallout from Dunk's death etc, I was considering a situation where Dunk faked his death for some reason. And Grinder, I think you'll find Harlequin gives a damn about metahumanity :) |

No, he shouldn't come back from the dead. I liked Dunkie, but going arround ressurecting him now is just too much.
Having an impostor pretend to be the ressurected Dunkelzahn however might be an idea......no, forget I ever said that. |

He probably shouldn't come back and IMHO he should be followed into the great hereafter by a good 50% of the GDs but if they can do a decent explanation of him faking his death (using a spell construct of some sort) and hiding out as Nadia Daviar then it could be interesting. However I'd really think people would call all sorts of BS on that. Of course some people might like someone like Vasdenjas or Vestrivian coming back from the dead before Dunkelzahn.

What are the odds that a corp somewhere is making a robot dragon and for some god awful reason Dunkelzhan seperates from Billy and goes and inhabits the mechanical dragon shell. For some writers, that one might actually be considered a good plot :please:

OMG robot dragons are super133t! We've got have them especially if they are like cyberzombies on crack.
"Eat Move By Wire 12 Lofwyr" "Dunklezahn wins fatality in combat turn 1" Yeah unfortunately that's all too believable as a plot. Maybe he can come back as a gay wiccan with an ally spirit that turns into a panzer ;) |

Ouch. Anyway, chalk me up for "No." I'm not against future plots involving him; but not directly. Example of a Dunk plotline I approve of: Children of the Dragon orchestrates a numer of runs to procure items they need for a ritual that will bring back their "deity." Another faction in CoD is trying to stop this blasphemy. If ritual gets pulled off, what they actually end up with is not dearly departed Dunkie, but the product of one of Verjigorm's corrupted egg experiments. See, the plot is about trying to bring back Dunk, but actually has nothing to do with him in the end. |

Given what Ghostwalker/Icewing has done with his own mate, I don't see him being above freeing Lethe from Burnout and bonding the free spirit to himself in some fashion. After all, he is Dunky's brother.

I'm going to chime in here with a "please god no." I'm just fine having Dunkie exactly where he is. Bringing people back from the dead is cheesy 99% of the time (I like the guy in the middle east, but that's just because he's sowing chaos). Also, having Dunkie where he is slows down the Horror plot, which needed doing, I like it being there, but it was going a bit fast.

I would like it if he was somehow in contact with key people in the world, sort of like like spiritual guide. He could talk to someone within the DF, one of his former watchers, maybe Ghostie. But I think him being dead to the world at large would is a good thing.
Hell,I think it would be rather interesting to have him see what the DF is doing,and be sickened by what they are doing in his name. He could form up a new groups based around someone he could some how talk to, gather anyone who would listen to him and do what he really set out to do. I mean, not every plot,and secret group has to have an evil master mind, some are really trying to help others. |

Dunkie's death, plain and simple. No chance to resurrect, no chance to keep contact with other people as a gosth. Bah.
