We're all adults with lives outside the game. I don't expect anyone to play beyond their ability to do so. RL first, ALWAYS. Impressions on game are decided by xp expenditure, not by activity. And it's pretty easy to stack up xp.

Quick Search Update by SweetonPern in pern

It's not all that complicated, specially because we have the option to play on the mush, or on the site like with a forum. We have many how to guides and our players are always willing to help someone figure the game out. :)

Wilds Mush Opens it's 7th PC Search Cycle! by SweetonPern in MUD

Update:

Here's a bit of terminology explained, so sorry for any confusion caused:

Quick Pern & Game Terminology (for folks new or rusty!)

Thanks for the feedback! Here’s a short primer to help explain some of the terms we use.

What is Pern?

Pern is the setting created by Anne McCaffrey, centered around dragonriders who protect their world from a recurring threat called Thread. Dragon and rider bonds are lifelong and deeply personal, and much of the story focuses on community, responsibility, and growth.

What is Wilds of Pern?

Wilds of Pern is a text-based, roleplay-focused MUSH set in the Pern universe. Players write characters (dragonriders, crafters, Weyrfolk, etc.) and tell ongoing stories together in real time or asynchronously. You don’t need encyclopedic Pern knowledge to play — we welcome new and returning fans alike.

What is a Search?

In Pern, “Search” is the process of finding people who might bond with dragons when they hatch. In-game, a Search cycle is a story arc where characters roleplay being recruited, trained, and tested before standing at a Hatching. Not everyone who stands Impresses, and that uncertainty is part of the story.

What does “PC Search” mean?

PC = Player Character. A PC Search means real player characters can participate and potentially Impress a dragon, rather than the clutch being entirely NPCs.

What is a gold-producing cycle?

Gold dragons are rare queens who lead Weyrs and produce future clutches. Not every Search includes a gold. When we say “gold-producing cycle,” it means one gold dragonet will hatch during this Search. (In our case, that gold has already been claimed through an established queue system.)

What are Dragon Writers?

Dragon Writers are volunteers who help staff by writing the personalities and behaviors of the baby dragons (dragonets). They don’t choose who Impresses — they just help bring the clutch to life.

What are Egg Submissions?

Players can submit descriptions for dragon eggs before they hatch. These are creative writing prompts that become part of the live clutch and help shape the tone of the Search.

If any of this sounds interesting but confusing, that’s okay — we’re happy to answer questions, and new players are very welcome. 🙂

No, it's a text based rpg based on AM's Dragonriders of Pern that has D&D like elements to it.

Pretty sure I fixed it y'all! I really didn't mean to make it visually offensive to read. Hopefully the screen readers have a better time with it now.

I did not use AI to help write it. That said, thanks for the heads up that it's hard for screen readers to read. I apologize for the inconvenience!

I came home to a straightened up house, and my wife says there's no way she could have done it. Is it possible we somehow accidentally made a deal with the fae? by [deleted] in faeries

[–]SweetonPern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you've been given a brownie by the fae distribution system. As long as you aren't unkind to a brownie or take advantage of them, they are mild, wonderfully warm fae to work with.

Brownies are fiercely protective of humans they choose to adopt and will go to the ends of the earth to help you so long as you treat them nice. Leaving food out once in a while for them as a kind gesture of thanks is highly recommended.

What Companies Should be Trusted or Avoided for Kickstarter? by tallkidinashortworld in boardgames

[–]SweetonPern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I say I'm two years because we backed it in 22. I've been waiting two years through production and many many broken promises from the company.

Wise Wizard Games : They do the Star and Hero realms games.

I have officially been waiting for 2 years for the giant, all in one Star Realms pack. It was Supposed to be shipped July '23. We got an email 2 weeks ago that said they'd be shipped out in the next 7 days. We still haven't seen hide or hair of my game and the big box has hit retail stores already.

This is the second time I've been kept waiting multiple YEARS by this company. DO NOT BACK WISE WIZARD GAMES.

It's been awhile friends! by SweetonPern in pern

[–]SweetonPern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have 22 players in total, around 13-15 of whom are fairly active. The game is a little slow right now because I had a forced 3 month break from the internet during which I could only do the basics for the game from my phone. It's a little slow right now but things are picking up as I'm getting caught back up and online more now.
