We’re a relaxed canon game set in the world of Anne McCaffrey’s Pern during the 9th Pass. The game has been running a few months, just moved out of beta as we finished our first on-camera Hatching event.
Rather than hit you with an ad, here’s some character concepts we could use. Our general Open & Closed Concepts page is here: https://pern.gaslightswitch.com/wiki/concepts
Wingleaders
As the time approaches for the new Weyr to open, Wings will be divided up, some staying at Fort, some moving to the new Weyr. Wingleaders will have (off-camera) influence with K’bert in making those decisions, but will also get the fun of agonizing.

Goldriders
It’s weird to be in need of Goldriders, but here we are.
Mature goldriders, please! They’ll have the same uncertainty over where they’ll be headed in the future, with the benefit of even less say about it. You also get to wonder/worry about who will be the new Weyrwoman, whee! (NB: The plan is to keep the Weyrleaders as NPCs.)Healer Pursuing Something-Leaf
An ambitious apprentice or journeyman looking to distinguish themselves by figuring out how to turn a re-discovered Nabolese plant into a useful salve. This would be a long-term, self-contained story for someone who wants their character to have an achievable end-goal.

Weyrlings
Our first on-camera Hatching saw 23 Impressions, and we’re open for weyrlings of all colors (except gold). It’s well-known around Fort that there’s nowhere to put these weyrlings when they move out of the barracks, with every weyr full already. Plus the question of whether or not they’ll get to (have to?) stay at Fort or be assigned to the new Weyr right out of weyrlinghood.

We have a few people looking to play Impression on-camera, so we’ll be running a hatching in August, with events kicking off in earnest on the 29th of June.
It’s a good time to join if you’ve ever wanted to play Candidacy, Impression and weyrlinghood as a character arc. Our “process” is low-key, so you won’t need to write an app or jump through any hoops. Just create a character, sign up to Impress, and go about your regular RP.
We also have a few big story moments coming up in July, so it’s a good time to join if you’ve ever wanted to play Pern regardless of Candidacy.

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.
