If you’re wondering what this is about, check out the Games/Contests section for ways to earn marks!
After you’ve earned marks, you may exchange them for items! To do so, please post in the 'Purchases' thread in the Marks Exchange board indicating the item you’re interested in, then we will subtract from your Marks total accordingly using individual threads in this board.
We’re not sticking exactly to Pernese values, for 1 mark is worth a lot, and it would be difficult to work with 1/32 and 1/16 marks all of the time. Thus, we’ve inflated the mark by about 10X. Some of these items are taken from the ‘Dragonlover’s Guide to Pern’ by Anne McCaffrey.
