New: Aureate Dawn Weyr (free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, space, rpg) From: lindahl@pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2002 08:13:18 +0000 Name: Aureate Dawn Weyr URL: http://www.brownridercat.com/adw/ Email: aureatedawn@yahoo.com Type: Pern Fandom Weyr Last-Update: 2002Feb20 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, space, rpg Description: Aureate Dawn Weyr is an alternate Tenth Pass, post Skies of Pern, AIVAS-having PBEM. Set in the Southern Continent, it currently has two Weyrs, two Holds, two Crafthalls, and one Weyrhall, which is dedicated to training dragons in the art of telekinesis. Its premise is a unique one, with a setting that is closer to Second Pass Pern (Dragonseye/Red Star Rising) than the more familiar Ninth Pass. With mild technology, dolphins, and even the occasional female bluerider, Aureate Dawn's timeline begins 450 Turns After Thread, just beyond the threshold of the Red Star's... unexpected... return. With Kazryn's gold Jinath ready to rise in the next month or so, we need suitors willing to fly her!. There will almost definitely not be a gold egg in the resulting clutch, but since Kazryn's the Weyrwoman, that makes this a leadership flight! Woo! Want to go for Weyrleader? Here's your chance to do it! :> We have many, many ranking positions open (which you can read about on our site -- just check out the link from the home page, in the news section), including the Indigo Twilight Weyrleader (Kazryn needs a man, folks!), all Lords and Ladies Holder, the Telekinesis Weyrhall Weyrcrafter and Lady Weyrcrafter Second, Craftmasters, Hallmasters -- you name it, we've got it! Got experience and want to be a Council member, or maybe a mentor? We've got openings for those too! We're seeking active, enthusiastic members with a love for writing -- or a drive to learn to improve! Not interested in a ranker? No problem! You can create a candidate, a dolphineer, a computer tech, a trader, a drudge, a foster parent -- essentially anything you can conceive of is welcome at Aureate Dawn. We've even got positions like Captain of the Guard at our Holds, and for anyone who ever wanted a Headwoman-type position but doesn't like playing female 'sonae -- well, hey, be a Steward instead. Aureate Dawn Weyr is strongly oriented around quality of writing and persona development, and is perfect for aspiring writers of all ages (well, anyone 13 and older!) and backgrounds -- from the most newbie-ish of newbies to the most Pern-savvy -- who wish to improve their skills. Personae like female blueriders and HADs are rare, and while we allow them, they and other ranking positions are obtained by writing well and writing often. Our members are friendly and helpful, and our current ranking personae, mentors, and BoD members are always willing to copost. So check us out today!
