      @hellfrog Okay I learned, and joke’s on you I don’t got any Taurus in me.

      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.

        @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?

        as previously stated, good day.

          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.

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

            I want something else to get me through this
            Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
            I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

              @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.

                  Blue is second best. They’re just cute.

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

                                Gold. Same reasons as Herja.

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

                                      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.

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

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

                                            Gold (F) - only women riders. Female leaders.
                                            Bronze (M) - only men. Male leaders.
                                            Brown (M) - only men in the books, any in games.
                                            Blue (M) - only men in the books, any in games.
                                            Green (F) - was only men in the books, then some women. Any in games.

                                            Gold is biggest, down in order through green. In the books, that’s kind of the order of importance, too. Not in games, though.

                                            Only Gold lay eggs, but Green and Gold both have mating flights regularly.

                                            There isn’t really any technical difference between them as far as personality but there are a lot of stereotypes.

                                            as previously stated, good day.
