Re: Mechanical Monsters at the Fall of Gondolin?

I think the ideas put forth of retaining the divisions of dragons and eliminating the metallic/mechanical aspects fits the goal of retaining as much as possible while omitting material that most likely would have been eliminated. as stated , we do not know for sure but just like CRT we will have to make some major decisions with a paucity of evidence. the outlines we have been given by J and A are as usual excellent.

In summary no mechanicals - yes divisions.

My wife and kids are going away for a few weeks so I hope [God willing] to be able to contribute a little more substantially.
