Pern Dragon Colors

@helvetica said in Pern Dragon Colors:
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.
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.
-
@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.
-
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.

@hellfrog please consider doing a thread where you guess people’s signs and tell vague fortunes
-
@helvetica It’ll just be the same fortune for everyone.
-
@Pavel I don’t think a frog from hell would automatically prophesize that people are going to hell
-
Gold because shiny and also I am on my queen character arc.
-
Gold. Same reasons as Herja.
-
I read the books but never RPed. I feel like I missed out.
-
Also green.
-
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.

@dvoraen
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.

You can only have one. Which color do you play and why.
midnighth

Brown.
Because I’d play this again.
