IMO a lot of it is available to anyone who cares enough to dig for it, but very few do. Some things (like the connection between Droyne and Chirpers) has not really percolated through even the sientific community yet.MT said:I guess the real question is how disseminated is the info about the Droyne?
Does the average person now know?
I _like_ this one.Originally posted by autochthonic:
(imtu) I've taken some ideas from Protector by Larry Niven - When Droyne eat Rech fruit grown under certain conditions they become longer-lived, much smarter, aggressive and independent. In this state their prime motivations are to extend their bloodline and eliminate other enhanced Droyne. In other words, they become Ancients.
I use the MKUltra et al guidelines and structures from ConspiracyX to handle the remote viewing and other psychic capabilities of the Droyne. Interestingly, there are a few RL links to websites by Ed Dames and the like where you can get your hands on genuine RV training kits like Mindazzle and see how the CIA do it. IMTU though I don't like such awesome power so I build in psychic corruption and seepage so that anyone trying to use this power tends to go crazy or fall under the influence of whatever plot I'm runningOriginally posted by autochthonic:
Droyne could have an unconventional approach to recon - they can dig in deep and use clairvoyance, reporting their observations through telepathy. This gives them some advantage over conventional forces.
I'm really into this now. Maybe T5 should be set against the Droyne Renaissance?

Where did you get the scource material on Droyne? Relatively new stuff? or non GDW?
