Southern Weyr
The turn is 2758, the last turn of the Ninth Interval and first of the Tenth Pass. Whenever it decides to start. This is Southern Weyr, an alternate timeline Pern RPG.
AIVAS was found but had problems with its AI parts. It was basically only a talking record and information repository. Still, the AIVAS was able to play the history "movie" for Robinton, Lessa and the rest. It became mandatory for all to see. Of course, there were those who refused but they were few. There was a massive amount of knowledge held in the computer and in a library inside the complex. Some intrepid people chose to try and learn the new/old skills on their own. There were more failures than successes but some skills were re-learned.
Fearful or, at least, cautious of the knowledge, the Lord Holders of Pern and the CraftMasters, decided that any additions of new Crafts or even sub-Crafts, would have to be voted on by the Council of CraftMasters and the Conclave. Therefore, some of the newly re-learned skills have spread across Pern but not as many as could have. There is also plenty of room for experiments gone wrong and "a little knowledge can hurt you" type of storylines.
This RPG will be as canon as possible while allowing room for a few differences. Females will be allowed to Impress the occasional Blue and Brown dragon. Sports may happen...but rarely. Other differences from canon will be decided upon as they are brought up.
