I have the same picture in my guide book. They actually give out the sizes too. I have them color coded: 20-25 meters, 25-30 meters, 30-35 meters, 35-38 meters, 38-42 meters. Ramoth was an exception to the rule at 45 meters. This was taken by the dragonlover's guide.

Yep, that's the largest sizes and stuff. Most sites close the size gap a little, and allow overlapp, and shrink the size because it took years and years and years for dragons to grow that big.
What kind of sizing do we use here, if I may ask?

I can tell you not to that extent. I'm not used to meters due to that I went to a private school so they neglected to get into detail about metric, only in science did we use it, but I didn't get the best grades for metric system tests. I can't really say with those measurments though, possibly half of what brimstone said?

Oooh, didn't think of that. I actually don't know the timeframe exactly since it has been a while since I read the books. I think that we'll play an alternate pern where F'lar and lessa never exsisted, and that we are in the 4th pass.

Hmmmm, maybe sizes like this(please keep in mind that math isn't a strong subject of mine):
Queens: 32-36, Bronzes: 29-32, Browns: 26-30, Blues: 22-27, and Greens: 20-23

There are little more than 3 feet in a meter(3/1), so by my calculations, keep in mind figures isn't my strong suit either, you would actually multiply. Ramoth was the size of a jet.
