Hello Defiant Ones,

"He saw wings, and for a moment thought it was the dragon, fucking with him again, but then he saw feathers. Thick, glossy black feathers, and instead of a great blue eye, skin and armour, and—"

In the Game, it's not just dragons you need to watch out for. Although you should totally look out for the dragons (like… seriously, it's practically a Where's Wally?), but it's really just the one dragon in different guises.

[🐉 Vren hums, the sound so deep it vibrates the walls and makes the inside of your skull tingle. When he appears on your screen, you swear he's preening. 'A very important dragon.']

Rolls eyes. But as much as Vren would like to convince you otherwise, strictly speaking he's not the star of the show. [🐉 'Not yet.'] Ignores the drama lizard. Maggie takes that honour, and you should keep an eye out for her too, while you're keeping your eye out for dragons, 'cause she's not always easy to spot. Much like a certain character who's name begins with—

[🐉 ZAAP! 'No.']

Ow! Just you wait, I'm gonna get you for that.

[🐉 A disbelieving 'uh-huh' is the only answer.]

Hisses. What I can say is, returning Gamer backers should read the story included exclusively in this collection, Vacant Spaces, super carefully. There's the tiniest of spoilers in there linking It That Shall Not Be Named to a certain other Gamer character... See previous Maggie updates for clues.

[🐉 You hear a talon tapping something hard. 'Hmm, I thought I scrubbed that…']

P.S. Oooo, I found something interesting in the Hub today… Or rather should I say… Casts a sly, sideways glance at Vren. I put a little something in the Hub today…

[🐉 Vren appears, front and centre on your screen. 'What‽ No.' A swoosh of wings, the snap of a tail. For a full minute all you see is a teal tornado weaving between the Hub's ornate columns, before Vren is once again back on screen. 'What fresh chaos have you wrought upon me?']

Picks up a carrot. Nothin'. Munches on it. Yet.
