Second Pass MUSH - MUD Description | |
Welcome to Second Pass MUSH. Here we explore an alternate timeline starting just before the Second Pass. Our overarching theme is how Pern might have looked before two centuries of Thread have deteriorated the technological and sociological levels of the populace. In order to avoid conflict with the events as described in the books, our timeline breaks off from canon partway through Dragonsdawn, where our Pernese colonists chose to stay on the Southern Continent when the volcano at Landing erupted. Avoiding this major disruption means that our Pern's technology levels and social structures are somewhat different from what is laid out in Red Star Rising (US Dragonseye). Second Pass MUSH is running at a 2:1 IC:RL time ratio. This allows us the opportunity to develop rich and nuanced characters and to play these characters in deep detail throughout the enormous change which is coming to Pern: the second Threadfall! It's a time of uncertainty for people who have seen videos of the destruction wrought by the last Pass, who are not certain if the dragon population is sufficient, who have become accustomed to a way of life that may not be sustainable for many more years. Here, we explore a world on the cusp of change. |
