You know what would make an amazing RPG? Pern. God, I would play the FUCK out of a Pern RPG, where your starter character Impressed a dragon and had to learn to fight Thread, and whether you’d ride a brown or bronze or green or blue or gold would depend on both your character gender and your interactions with the dragons and the other candidates at the beginning of the game, and you levelled up by learning skills like timing it and distributing fire lizards and matchmaking among the Holds and exploring space and doing politics for the MasterHarper, and basically GIVE IT ME NOW, I WANTS IT.
