I spotted this brass platter leaning against the wall at a friend’s house. Check out the dragons in the border.

They look a lot like lindworms, with only fore paws and the long tail but no hind legs. However, my sources disagree whether a true lindworm would have wings.

I spent the weekend at SpoCon, my local science fiction convention. It should be no surprise that I ran into a few dragons. This awesome fellow was helping out at the security table.
This dragon was hidden in the carpeting. She’s a mistress of disguise. Can you spot her?

Over the summer, I’ve been working as director of programming for SpoCon, my local science fiction convention. I’m going a little nuts, frankly. But it has given rise to a few fun thoughts. If dragons had a convention, what would their programming look like?
Humans: Friends or Food? Older and wiser dragons share their advice on whether to play nicely or take what you want.
The Perfect Hoard: A great hoard needs more than mountains of gold coin. Maybe you’ve thought of adding some gems or a bit of gold-plated armor. Experts discuss how to give your hoard personality and flair.
Fang and Claw vs. Flame Breath: Warrior dragons debate the best way to slay those pesky knights.
Lair Security: Are you troubled by sneak thieves and traveling salesmen? Learn a few new tricks to keep intruders out of your private space.
Human Arms and Armor: Information on the most common equipment used by knights and adventurers, with tips on how to overcome them.

I know you’ve always wondered about this, so I asked some of my own fictional dragons for their opinions.
“What do you think virgins are?” asked Lythiskar, Mystik of Yabble. “Although some dragons prefer princesses as pets.”
Yriatt of Hawkwing House* was also open to the idea of keeping pets. “An older, sedentary dragon could benefit from a pet such as a griffin or roc. Flying with your pet can help maintain wing strength and aerial balance.”
Other dragons weren’t sold on the idea.
“I would never keep a pet that might steal from me,” answered Grenandus of Lollitaine.*
According to Tetheus,* the sea dragon, “Any pet would have to be sturdy enough to keep up with me. Perhaps a larger seal or a whale. Unfortunately, those animals also make the best meals.”
“As a spirit, I find it difficult to connect with transitory beings such as humans or animals,” said Cazarluun,* Spectral Guardian of Venge Hill.
Carnisha, Queen of the Cragmaws,* laughed at the suggestion. “I have a brood of hatchlings! There is no time for pets.”
*Yriatt is a major character in my fantasy novel, Too Many Princes. Grenandus, Tetheus and Cazarluun appear in my short story collection, Aunt Ursula’s Atlas. Carnisha is featured in The Dragon’s Hoard anthology.

Blizzard blowing fierce and hard.
Dragon flies away.
