rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Honestly what would make the leeriest about playing in a Pern game would be the rampant sexism, homophobia and rape that go on in canon pern. If you had any variation on 'dragons choose people by gender/sexuality' and/or 'flight lust is a thing and you MUST have sex with the person whose dragon flies yours' I'm outtie. Get rid of that and for fuck's sake don't shove a communicator into a setting where it doesn't belong, and I'm golden.

from what i read on BRPS it's a pretty common thing for Pern games to change or eliminate a lot of that stuff. dragons choose by personality rather than sex/gender, they'll only rise for mating flights once their riders are sexually mature, and the flights might make you really randy but you can have sex with whoever you choose that's willing. it wouldn't be hard to make a Pern game that didn't make people's skin crawl.

I've been in that scene, and can answer stuff if anyone's curious? Pern fandom tends to just steal colorful dragons and the planet and then go hogwild in all directions cleaning it up and adding things to improve it. (...Well, based on your taste.)
