3. Living sapient dragons are known to exist, but are so extremely rare that the PCs might only ever meet one once.

Three or lower. Dragon-based power groups would be undesirable..

2. There are sapient spirits that take the form of dragons, or possess living ones, but biological sapient dragons are either non-existent, or so rare that might as well be.

This is an unpopular opinion, but 4, 5, and 6 all look good!

[TGLS]

I like 3-7. I'd also note that 3 could be broad enough to allow for the dragon civilizations or whatever to be very, very distant (i.e. in the Pegasus Galaxy of Fantasy Stargate) so that higher number options could be included without changing the relative balance of the setting.

Poll remains open. So far, unless I'm interpreting some of the answers wrong, 3 has three votes, 2, 4, 5, and 6 have two votes each, and both 1 and 7 have one vote each.

I think Fred voted for 1-3.

Yeah, my vote count is two for 1, three for 2, three for 3, two for each of 4-6, and one for 7.

OK, corrected in my file.

Any thought on what the next Question should be? I'm thinking of doing something like your idea here, but I'm not sure if I should do that next, or do it later and do something else next.

Dragons Question III

What relationship exists, if any, between sapient and sub-sapient dragons?

1. They are completely separate and largely-unrelated.

2. The sapients have domesticated or otherwise rule over the sub-sapients.

3. The sub-sapients are largely split into predators and (dangerous) prey of the sapients, like lions and buffalo, respectively, were to humans.

4. As 3, but the sub-sapient dragons that are dangerous enough to prey on the sapient dragons are legendary, and possibly extinct.

5. Many of the sub-sapients are actually just juveniles of the same race as sapients.

6. Something else (please specify).

Please remember to include the number(s) of your preferred option(s) when you vote.

4. As 3, but the sub-sapient dragons that are dangerous enough to prey on the sapient dragons are legendary, and possibly extinct.

Or

5. Many of the sub-sapients are actually just juveniles of the same race as sapients.

But 4 is a bit ahead of 5.
