I am very pleased with the calibre and detail of the answers to my
commentary, and won't argue too loudly with the quibbles in terms
of number and function, ahem. (Six, eight, what the heck.) But on
the offchance that the DDGP people could be prodded into another
answer (I know, I know, dream on. "Why don't you just go to WORK
for them, Metlay?" The letter's in the mail, dudes.), I'd like to
pick up on one or two points that weren't well clarified:
1. How does my explanation of Vargr female weight fluctuation tie
in with what's been written on the subject? I based this assumption
on my knowldege of raising pups, so I assume it's not far off....
2. You guys still haven't committed to a torso shape, damn it! Do
they have a dog's ribcage or a human's and if the latter, why?
Harrumph. |->
However, the opening statement did raise an interesting problem:
changes in spacesuit design for aliens! What do you do with the
tail? How do you keep visors from fogging, given that Vargr and
Aslan pant to cool themselves because they don't sweat? Interesting
stuff; think I'll do some writing tonight....
(Side comment for those of you building up a trivia library: the
most common Julian/Antarean Vargr term for a human is "Pinkstink,"
with "Shavetail" a close second. Harf! |-> )
