Come and play Pern!
Think of it as Lords and Ladies with dragons… sort of.
It’s the 9th Pass of Pern, and the dragons have done an impressive job of growing the draconic population from nearly-none to over a thousand, enough that it’s time to open a new Weyr: desert-bound Igen.
Things we’re playing with at the moment:
Politics and machinations over who will lead the new Weyr. With Igen to be populated by riders from both Benden and Fort, and its leadership as-yet undecided, everyone has an opinion, and tensions are rising. Everyone knows that the ‘dragons decide’ but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to influence the process.
Fort’s latest hatching saw three Journeymen crafters Impress, including one from the Stands and one who distinctly did not have permission. Tensions are growing between the Weyr and the Crafts as a result: should the Weyr be able to steal the talented young people the Crafts have spent so much time training up? How much does the rest of the planet owe the Weyrs for keeping them safe? And if the answer is ‘less than the Weyrs think’ … what will the Weyrs do to change that balance back?
On Dragon Wings has some new staff on board, and we’re doing our best to cultivate play where character actions can influence both locally and globally. We’re using the world of Pern as a canvas to tell stories that range from exploration and adventure to political angling, with the (statted) combat of Threadfall lurking in the background as the omnipresent threat. We’re a small but friendly bunch, eager to tell interesting stories both big and small.
Never played Pern before? That’s okay! We can help with the important details… and handwave the rest. We welcome OCs (and are always happy to help brainstorm new ideas)– but we also have plenty of rosters available.
