Nov 21, 2006 10:38:44 There were some short stories featured in Dragon magazine that came out to set the stage for DoaNA. I dont know what issue it began, but all teh "New Fiction" for the next 12 months was DL. If Memory serves the first one introduced Malys and her battle with a Black Dragon. I'm sure any novels of the Dragon Purge would be similar. And to my knowledge, none of these stories from Dragon have been reprinted in any of the Tales Anthologies like some of the original DL fiction has( "A Stones Throw Away" comes to mind.),which is a shame. There is one about a Dragonspawn fighting to retain his humanity which was quite good.

Nov 29, 2006 7:28:51 Lot's of good ideas were actually featured in the Jean Rabe's books what started the 5th Age. Dragon Overlords plotting and fighting.

One idea could be to "watch" the purge in the eyes of few smaller Ansalon dragons (good AND evil) trying to survive in the world of Alien Dragons. Both good and evil might make alliances to fight the Overlords (offcourse eventually failing) and then trying to find some safe haven (Dragon Isles) to avoid the Overlords wrath. Some might betray the alliances and turn to service of Overlords.

That's one of the alternate endings to Price of Courage.

Dec 07, 2006 14:18:01 Here's my take:

600 to 800pound fully cooked smoked dragon
100 cups packed brown sugar
200 tablespoons balsamic or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
Orange slices, if desired
Maraschino cherries, if desired

1. Heat oven to 325ºF. Place dragon, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of dragon and does not touch bone or rest in fat. Cover loosely and bake 100 hours 15 minutes to 200 hours 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F.
2. About 20 minutes before dragon is done, remove from oven with forklift. Pour drippings from pan. Remove any skin from dragon. Mix brown sugar, vinegar and mustard; pat or brush on dragon. Bake uncovered 200 minutes longer.
3. Cover dragon loosely and let stand about 10 minutes or until thermometer reads 140°F. Garnish with orange slices and cherries.

That's a bit of overkill on the mustard, don't you think? I'd use only a dash or pinch at most with that small amount of meat. Heck, I might even leave the mustard out all together and just sprinkle a 1/2 Tbsp of paprika on at the very end just to get the smoky/peppery taste on there. LOLOLOLOL :D
