Welcome to Dragonflight's....Dragon Flight System!
Everybody loves Flights and the baby dragons that result. Because of the way political attitude have shifted in Dragonflight, clutches are much more frequent for the In-Character World. As such there are several changes to the way breeding is being handled in Dragonflight.
Official versus Unofficial Clutches
- > Official Clutches will those events where an IC Flight translates into PC Dragons being handed out.
> Unofficial Clutches are those clutches that result from IC Flights but are not associated with PC Dragons being handed out.
> Unofficial Clutches will NEVER have a gold egg among them.
> Unofficial Clutches will occur ICly but off-screen, where it is assumed NPCs Impressed the new dragons.
> Official Clutch make-up will be determined by the Staff.
> Unofficial Clutch make-up will be determined by dice rolls the players will make (see below)
> Approved Characters, that is PC Characters, cannot Impress in Unofficial Clutches.
> It has not explicitly been mentioned before so it is being emphasized here. Official Clutches will have a number of PC Eggs and number of NPC Eggs. A clutch will not consist solely of the PC Eggs.
If Your Character Rides a Gold
- > Golds will rise once a Turn with dependably regularity.
> 1/Turn will be defined as Once Per 6 IRL Months.
> A Goldrider player may hold a Flight (according to that frequency) at will.
> Gold clutches will be between 10 and 45 eggs, determined by a dice randomizer by the Goldrider Player
> Clutch Make-up will be determined by rolling d100s equal to the number of eggs. Match the numbers to the provided colour break down to see what the resulting clutch is like.
> 1 - 2 Silver; 3 - 5 Crimson; 6 - 10 Black; 11 - 54 Green; 55 - 81 Blue; 82 - 96 Brown; 97 - 100 Bronze
> The Clutch is Unofficial unless otherwise noted, Goldriders will be notified when/if their clutch will be Official
> If the Gold breeding rules are not followed by a player, that gold will not be considered for an Official Clutch from the infraction forward.
> Post/Roll your clutch information in the Flight Thread associated with your dragon for Unofficial Clutches (do not delete posts)
If Your Character Rides a Breeding Crimson
- > Crimsons will rise up 3 times per Turn
> 3/Turn will be defined as Once Per 2 IRL Months.
> A Crimsonrider player may hold a Flight (according to the above frequency) at will.
> Crimson clutches will be between 5 and 20 eggs, determined by a dice randomizer by the Goldrider Player
> Crimsons ONLY clutch about 20% of the time. To determined the success of a Flight, roll 1d100 at the beginning of the flight. If it is either 1-10 or 90-100, the Flight is successful and the Crimson clutches.
> IF a Crimson clutches, the Clutch Make-up will be determined by rolling d100s equal to the number of eggs. Match the numbers to the provided colour break down to see what the resulting clutch is like.
> 1 - 6 Silver; 7 - 15 Crimson; 16 - 30 Black; 31 - 63 Green; 64 - 87 Blue; 88 - 98 Brown; 99 - 100 Bronze
> The Clutch is Unofficial unless otherwise noted, Crimsonriders will be notified when/if their clutch will be Official
> If the Crimson breeding rules are not followed by a player, that breeding crimson will not be considered for an Official Clutch from the infraction forward.
> > Post/Roll your clutch information in the Flight Thread associated with your dragon for Unofficial Clutches (do not delete posts)
Flight Windows
Flight Windows are just rule-based break downs of the IRL Year into sections so that the 1/Turn and 3/Turn rates are observed. Dragonflight operates at a Time Conversion of 1 IRL Month = 2 IC Months.
- > Gold Windows: Window A = Jan-June; Window B = July-December
As long as a Gold Rises only once per window, you're golden!
When in each window is entirely up to you! If your Gold Rises in Nov, she may Rise in Feb but then she couldn't Rise again until July at the earliest.
How Regular or Irregular your dragon is, is up to you.
> Crimson Windows: Window A = Jan-Feb
Window B = Mar-April
Window C = May-June
Window D = July-August
Window E = Sept-Oct
Window F = Nov-Dec
Crimsons Rise up to 3/Turn, so as long as it is at least 2 IRL Months since your last Flight, you're fine.
This means you can have up to 6 Flights/IRL Year.
> Please Note: Eggs take a little while to form, be laid, and then harden before Hatching. I'm going to say this takes up to 1 Month IRL (2 Months ICly), meaning you have a wait period of 1 IRL before your breeding dragon may Rise again, regardless of where the Flight fell in the Window Schedule. Remember this when planning your dragon's Flights!
> It is assumed a Flight happens ICly; you don't have to RP it out if you don't feel like it. It's just fun when you do!
