      @somasatori I’m 50/50 on whether L&L is the Unseen Fifth™ or the honorable mention.

      Hmm, that’s a good point, though I would probably say that L&L is a qualifier for other things. You either have L&L or not, you know? Firan and Arx are L&L, Silent Heaven isn’t an L&L. Despite it not looking like an L&L most WoD games are definitely L&L.

        I keep looking at Jeski every couple of weeks. I’ve forgotten more than I remember about Pern, I’m sure, and am more async than not buuuut… I will have to look again!

        I have been here the whole time

          Come play! We’re comfortably loose with our Pern canon, and very async friendly, promise.

              @Cobalt Sometimes a person has a special connection with a dragon and together as very best friends, they breathe fire at horrible worms from the sky.

                @Yam On a colonized planet, the descendants of the colonists bond with genetically engineered, psychic dragons to protect the planet by fighting all-consuming spores from space.

                  @Pyrephox I read this as “colorized planet” and was immediately more interested. Who colored the planet? Is that because of the dragons? How did they do it?

                  Alas.

                    I keep glancing here, and keep meaning to make a joke about how the address involves gaslighting, but then I don’t do it, so now you all get to see that train of thought.

                      a dragon with flames coming out of its mouth is flying in the sky

                      Kizraeth clutches in late January; Coraneth in early March. That leaves plenty of time to establish a Candidate character and build up a bit of a story arch leading up to trying to impress a dragon of your very own. If you’re not confident on theme, imo going this route can be a smoother introduction.

                      Current plot threads involve the development of rival factions of dragonriders (PVE).

                        dragon riders but instead of being cool and fighting each other they are kind of like lawnmowers burning caustic braum hair out of the atmosphere iirc and also if the dragons have sex their riders have sex

                          @hellfrog So Eragon if it were simultaneously more and less interesting?

                              Could get those comments spun off into Rough & Rowdy if people want to complain about Pern? Seems kinda sucky to slap on game gab. Not very constructive about this game in particular.

                                  @bear_necessities So sorry, did NOT mean to derail, genuinely wanted to hear people summarize the core theme of the books they’re passionate about. I don’t mind if anyone wants this spun off into rough and rowdy, although I may feel a little sick being at the top of any rough and rowdy thread. 😭

                                    @Yam oh TBH I honestly missed your post hahahaha just thought it was weird those comments came on the backside of Helvetica posting a ‘come and join’ sort of reply.

                                        @hellfrog I’m glad it was just a misunderstanding. And for clarification, we are fighting the dragons.

                                          @helvetica I always thought a theme with some dragon on dragon fighting would be interesting in Pern.

                                          I had a whole game concept based around that once, but since I lack follow through-- It’s cool to see someone else doing it too.

                                            Was that the matrilineal thing? I remember that concept and still think it would be really cool.
