But you’ve got like some earth signs in there, right? right?

I’d love to see a Pern game that subverts some of the problematic gender/sexuality decisions that the source material makes — or where those rules were dropped entirely.

[farfalla]

@helvetica Most games drop any sexuality rules, and drop gender rules for all but bronze and gold. Are there other things you’d want to see?

I am working on something on Ares. There’s a discord where I make people give me thumbs-up for my slow work in progress.

As for my color and why…

Brown because it’s just the hottest.

[Third Eye]

Brown because I’ve only read one Pern book and the only character I liked was a Brown rider.

@farfalla Well, obviously I’m uninformed then! But: examining the use of color hierarchy in general (or at all). ~I say right after choosing Gold.

I know nothing about Pern, but Wikipedia makes blues sound relatable. Makes me want to write one of those silly animal poems that were popular a few years ago.

My naym is draggo,
My scales are blue.
My frens burn Threds
So I does too.

Tho I am smol,
My gay is not!
Hooman pet agrees
That gurls are hot.

[farfalla]

Blue is second best. They’re just cute.

I’m gonna pick bronze because I don’t think anyone has yet and apparently I’m not allowed to have a bronze so FUCK THAT, I do what I want.

how very aquarius

[helvetica]

@hellfrog please consider doing a thread where you guess people’s signs and tell vague fortunes

[Pavel]

@helvetica It’ll just be the same fortune for everyone.

[helvetica]

@Pavel I don’t think a frog from hell would automatically prophesize that people are going to hell

[Herja]

Gold because shiny and also I am on my queen character arc.

[Meg]

Gold. Same reasons as Herja.

[crawfish]

I read the books but never RPed. I feel like I missed out.

[crawfish]

Also green.

[IoleRae]

green green green, always a green, I played so many greens

Was going to get a gold once, quit the game like 3 weeks before it happened /shakesfist

If I played pern NOW…

either a non-rider (prolly a Harper) or…

Another green. Because duck responsibility and duck the weirdass popularity contests around gold, no thanks.

[Tori]

I never played a greenrider so I think I would love to try that experience

[dvoraen]

I just want a tl;dr of what dragon colors and styles mean, since I haven’t read any Pern books.
