From allen:

1. bubbles: I like soap bubbles but I haven't played with them in years.

2. desk: I have a black Italarredo desk I got from Dad as a graduation gift >20 years ago. It's still great and has survived 4 moves.

3. dragon: Dragons are fascinating symbols of magic and power and ancient inscrutability. I like how the Bunnies & Burrows RPG uses Owl as their dragon equivalent. I suppose elder species like the Vorlons fill a similar role in SF. When I ran a couple of D&D-style games set in the mythical past of my rikchik aliens, one of the final challenges was a baby "dragon" as seen in the image below.



The players didn't realize they had been fighting a "one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater" until I hinted them after the game. Dragons have since become part of the Rikchik language, with "Dragon Fire" meaning lightning and "Dragon Magic" meaning electricity.

If you want three random things to write about, ask in the comments.
