According to the book’s creators, the origin of the hero in Golden Dragon emerged from a lucrative, 3 year long “Villains and Vigilantes” role-playing campaign. Ex-military war hero Randall Gold saves the life of an atrophied Chinese kung-fu master from a pack of vicious punkers and becomes his devoted pupil. After rigorous training and a mystical inner-personal journey, Gold is ready for his final challenge, which lies within the dragon realm. He must possess the ways of the grey dragon (the balance between good & evil) and slay the BLACK DRAGON! Awakening from his astral journey, Gold finds his aging mentor missing and heads to San Francisco to transplant his brain into an android shell while his body is suspended in a cryogenic state. Reborn a cybernetic organism, Gold sets out to find his target. -EH
