OK, I looked it up. You are correct. It was a novel first, then the module was released, and then the game.

About a year ago I made a reference to Dragonbait, but nobody got it.

Wow...I haven't thought about Battletech: The Crescent Hawks Inception or it's sequel in *years*. I played both of them to death on my 286. The Crescent Hawks Revenge was hard as hell. I was overcome with a great sense of satisfaction when I finished it. Or, was it relief?

Yep... They just switched the first three letters in his first and last name. (and made the "I" into a "Y")

Now, without looking it up, can you name the guy Faran Brygo hates the most in Las Vegas?
