Good morning!

@horati0nosebl0wer yeah that could be a greta posibility. i know that a lot of the german cartoons from my childhood where german co-productions with japanese companies. Well and many many of the shows where fully japanese but as a child i never knew this. (Adventures of Young Robin Hood, Treasure Island, Anne of Green Gables and many others)

 

@evilstu i know what you meen. Those dark fairy folk are just so otherworldly and thanks to that far more sinister than your good old demons and other stuff like that. Those are just evil … but the fairy folk, sometimes they’re nice, sometimes they’re terrifying and you newer know when they will be what or even why. Thats why i like everything cthulhu, they too are just to otherworldly. But somehow i find even more horror in the fairy folk of old. And maybe that is why i love the RPG Changeling: The Lost so much. That is the only system from the new World of Darkness that was superior to it’s counterpart in the Old World of Darkness in my opinion. In this one you play a mortal that was kidnapped by fairy folk thanks to whatever whim drove them to it … but in the fairy world they went almost insane because it’s an ever shifting world and in it’s domain the fairy rules like a good and everything is shaping and changing to it’s command, even the laws of nature, the landscapes and living beeings. And the mortal is just their plaything. Some are made into puppets or pets, others into furniture, others are kepts as bedwarmers or whatevery flies the fancy of the fairy. Somehow they managed to return to the real world, but their time in arcadia (the fairy otherworld) changed them forever, their body and their mind. My character was kidnaped by a phoenix-like entitiy and sometimes she used him as a “bodyguard” (she didn’t need him, she just had fun pretending), sometimes as a gladiator. But most often he was burned to death and brought back to life again. and sometimes that was his reward for a job well done, sometimes it was punishment and sometimes just for fun, he never knew when and why. And sometiems she/it was just nice to him. When he returned to he mortal realm he did it with a limited control over fire and his body was changed too (feathers, talons), but those changes where just visible to other changelings …. well or to normal humans if he used his powers to much. A bit of tzeentchian feel to those fairys i guess. Those changelings live in constant fear that their fairy masters will some day return to bring them back, and in constant fear that humanity will find them for what they are now.

And your description of how you like your dragons is very fitting, but i would extend it to most of the villains of a story and how i like them. Intelligent, with their own agendas and plans and others just as chesspieces on their board 😉

 

@all who liked Robotech you really should try to find and watch the original Macross. It’s a little bit different, but at least in my opinion it’s even better than Robotech.

 

And that reminds me i still need to watch Star Musketeer Bismarck … a japanese anime that Saber Rider was based on, or that rather got turned into Saber Rider by keeping the animation and changing everything else, the story, the importance of characters, the sequence of the episodes and so on.

 

Edit: @evilstu almost forgot to answer your question:  the orks will carry the drum and not a plattform. What orc would think so far as to build a plattform for easier transport? ?
