Dragons & Jetpacks discussion

As you may have noticed, we have a new logo/header.

It was about time, and we'd had the old one since the group was founded almost seven years ago. Hope you like it! :)

Looks great Rinn. Although the old 'dragon age' inspired one was one of the reasons I first noticed then joined this group. But so glad I did, had a fun year. :)

Thank you! :) Glad to hear you're a Dragon Age fan, Amy. I did like having the whole Dragon Age/Mass Effect theme in there, but it was starting to look a bit dated.

Very nice! Thanks Rinn :)

I've also been having a little tidy up of the group, such as moving old threads to the archive. I think we'll keep the past years Books of the Month, nomination threads etc in their folders, and the rest in the archives.

All book discussions will stay open though, as they can be revived at any time! I may also take a look at anyone in the group who hasn't used Goodreads in a year or so.

I joined for the same reason. Love all the Mass effect and Dragon Age games. Although never bought ME4 after the bad reviews.

I like the new banner though!

Thanks Hayley!

I have Andromeda... but haven't finished it yet. It didn't go down well, which sucks. Let's hope DA4 is better!

Thanks, Eva! :)

I definitely plan to finish Andromeda one day. But as with books, I just have too many games to play...

Have finished ME4 a couple of times now, I'm with Eva, forget the reviews, it's good easy-going fun and that's what a want in a game. But I know exactly what you mean about too many games to play, especially with so many good books to read too.

Maybe this will be the year I'll finally finish Mass Effect 1 😂

New header it's looking smart Rinn, great job.

Thanks Vinca - you should ;)

Change is good and all, but the new pics are too simplistic to me. I really liked the other look better. Not that the logo matters. The group conversation is what matters most and in that you all rock.

I like it :)!

Just noticed, the dragon's a Wyvern! He's so cute though, think you might have to change the group name :)

I... don't know the difference *looks around nervously*

So really we should be Wyverns and Rockets, cos it's also not a jetpack!

:) Haha! Not sure how I missed that! I only know the difference because Skyrim did the same thing with their 'dragons'. I'm sure neither matter, it looks cool. Wyverns and Rockets does have a good ring to it though.

Rinn, wyverns have only back limbs and wings (no front limbs) - think winged Nazgul mounts :P

You guys and gals are getting entirely too geeky here. *snicker snicker* Did I say I just finished Ready Player One - I am geeked out.

Sorry (not sorry) ;)

I like it, does the dragon/wyvern have a name? I think he/she should have a name....

It's nice!

Looks awesome!! :D

Lel - do you know of the Dennis the Dragon books? :D

Never heard of it, might look it up now though.

It's probably not in print anymore, but there was one called Dennis The Dragon Finds a New Job. I loved it when I was little :D

(Hence Dennis is my vote for naming the dragon)

The only dragon book I remember from when I was little was a dragon in one of the puddle lane books. It wasn’t a nice dragon either. I like Dennis. What about Edward?

The dragon could be Rand, or Drogon, or Temeraire, or Tintaglia, or Smaug.

Puff the Magic Dragon.
My nerdiness is showing here, but technically, it’s a wyvern (winged worm), as it only has 2 legs not 4. 🐲

Jai, your nerdiness is in good company ^ (scroll up) ;)

Try this on for size. 2 cats, one named Gataki, the other Freyr Pax. My dog is simply Willow, she’s a gentle, loving spirit.
