    Choro: “Although one thing bugs me. If this is the Greater Hospital Horror, does that mean its got minions? Regular pony-sized Hospital Horrors?”
    Doc: (sarcastically) “Yes, the hospital is infected with a group of ghouls that are subconsciously being brainwashed to lure more food down here.
    ...
    ...nevermind.”

    Viridia: “Somewhere, somepony is very happy that they got to throw me into a dangerous situation.”

    Viridia: “I've been trying to get [this sword] identified properly forever! The last mare I spoke to recommended killing something with it. Do you know what that might have done? ...besides the thing dying, I mean. We'll take that as granted.”

    GM: “The remains on the couch continued to struggle against the crates of energy drinks [and the 15-pound teddy bear] that had been mercilessly stacked upon it.”
    Viridia: “I'll remove the bear when you stop wiggling.”

    Doc: “She's playing Jenga with a skelly.”

    Viridia: “Do ponies still donate organs? You'd think that having just a few to clone would mean you're set for life.”

    GM: “Down the hall and towards the entrance to the labs, there were three squat creatures that resembled microwaved ponies that were then left to putrefy. They were colored a greyish-purple-pink hue, overlarge blue eyes, and instead of mouths they had clusters of tentacles, dripping a black slime.”
    Viridia: “Eww. They look like Sari's soul.”
    Bertly: “Oh, them? There's a few of those lads around here. I would suggest not interacting with them, or looking at them directly. If they touch you, hit them with something solid and flat to dissuade them.”
    Viridia: “I like your style, Bertly.”
    Andante: “I would suggest you kill them. Save the mouthparts, however.”
    Viridia: “...do you want to eat them?”
    Andante: “Taint mutants disagree with me, sadly.”
    Viridia: “Most of us do.”

    I see the ponies are taking well to the gloopy horrors there.

    Do cybernetics have a soul-sucking effect or something in FO:E? I know a few other systems that do that, to keep in with their 'losing humanity (ponyity?)' theme.

    Not unless they work the same way they do in Shadowrun.
    Granted, in the story the characters had enough anxiety already, and the parts needed to burn gems as fuel to work, but that's beside the point.

    The system we use is haphazard with cybernetics. There are no cyber parts listed in the equipment section. They're only found as Perks that are available strictly to Earth Ponies (and no solid rules on how they're acquired other than you're suddenly now a cyborg with no explanation). Only 3 cybernetic perks mention anything about a soul-loss effect; it only comes into play in a specific case of being attacked by necromancy magic (which is not available to anyone except as a plot point by NPC wizards or magical spirits). So...

    The GM did away with the perks and wrote up all the cybernetics as purchasable things by any pony type. Naturally, they cost an arm and a leg () to acquire, thus the GM can control supply by assigning them as quest rewards to players. Doc recently earned $15,000 in credit towards cybernetics. The GM also wrote up rules on the maximum number of cybernetic parts any pony can have, with Earth Ponies able to install more than any other race. Overall, this is not a bad deal. I have enough credit for the specific parts I want and I can spend my Perk slot on something else entirely.

    I do like the Shadowrun system of Cybernetics. Enough that I have been working on a Pony conversion for 4th Anniversary Edition. Will hopefully have that completed by the holidays.

    Mmm, crunchy.

    Could the gems be broken down into bite-sized pieces and canned? Then Doc can do the Popeye thing by crushing a can open, chomping down the contents, and then get super-charged cybernetics to punch the baddies, all to a catchy theme tune.

    There is a mob of people who have told me this. ^^;
    If I can find the free time, I certainly will.



    Viridia: “Bertly for father of the year.”
    GM: “Bertly for mayor.”
    Doc: “Bertly for team mascot?”
    Viridia: “Bertly Rule 34?”
    Viridia: “It's getting hot in here~
    So remove your armored shell~


    Viridia: “Do genies grant wishes, or is that just a myth, like Crystal Cola or Mirror's love?”

    GM: “As Moonshadow went past the dried bat, she heard a creaking sound, akin to leather sliding over leather, followed by bones. While it looked like a dried up old dead thing, it seemed to still have some life in it.”
    Moon: “Don't make me kill you whatever you are. I'm not getting paid for murder. Well I suppose I was with the hobos upstairs, but you're not with them, and we didn't have to murder them anyways.”
    GM: “Moonshadow would notice the creature had a ring on one of its wingtips. The ring looked to be made of silver and had a nice fat purple amethyst embedded in the center.”
    Moon: “So...think I can steal a ring off of that bat thing?”
    Choro: “I... guess it doesn't have any use for it. And you are very good at being sneaky.”
    Moon: “Alright. Just be ready in case I mess this up.”
    Dice Roll: **Messes this up**

    GM: “As Doc wandered into the main chamber, he saw something hideous; it seemed to be some sort of miniature version of the giant abomination that the group felled just a few moments ago, although this was only pony-height and seemed to have only weak little front legs.”
    Doc: (nonplussed, he points to the creature) “You, stay where you are.” (Points up at the turrets) “You, do your job.”
    GM: “None of the turrets answered Doc back, because they were rude.”
    Doc: “Dang turret union.”

    Nothin' like a demoted boss upon which to flex your muscle.

    ====

    Ray:
    It's a good thing that we're masters of inter-dimensional time travel, because we're waaaaaay too metal to make it through airport security.

    ====

    Lisa: Sing a song to dispense, through a handful of die, four and twenty daggers straight into your eye...

    ====

    Gumdrop: To put it in technical terms: I think the darn thing's busted.

    ====

    GM: 'Whump' goes the former-flump.

    ====

    Ray: I dunno, Gumdrop. I think I'd feel better if we had a medic who could walk and chew gum at the same time... Or just walk at all, really.

    ====

    Matter-Horn: Perhaps a more equine psychologist could succeed where the flumph failed?
    Ray: Oh, yeah. That'd go over real well. "Hi, Doc, I'm a cyborg killing machine from another dimension trapped in a mare's body." They'd have her ticket to the funny-farm punched before lunch.
    Matter-Horn: I know the human saying: 'Laughter is the best medicine', but I hardly think subjecting Lisa to a comedy club would fix anything.
    Ray: Eh?
    Gumdrop: Huh?
    Matter-Horn: The Funny Farm? You know.
    Ray & Gumdrop: *blank look*
    Matter-Horn: *sigh* It's a club over on east street.

    ====

    Ray: Okay, so for future reference. My pony alias is Glib Gypper. Lisa's Companion Cube. Gumdrop, you're Laffy Taffy. And we won't bother about giving The Masked Matter-Horn her own alias because she's already got two. She's special.

    ====

    Matter-Horn: Regardless, our first priority is to get you newly equined beings some proper disguises. The Masked Matter-Horn can't be seen working with a lot of ordinary ponies. It would ruin her mystique.

    ====

    Ray: Yo, dog. I heard you like secret identities so I put some secret identities in your secret identities so that you can secret identity while secret identity-ing.

    ====

    Matter-Horn: I give you: the Knights of the Round Stable!
    Gumdrop:​ Does this make us the 'Knights Who Say "Neigh"?

    Does Doc think "nonplussed" is the same as unfazed? Because it's pretty much the exact opposite. Of course, it looks like in North America, we're literally doing to "nonplussed" what we've done to "literally".

    In my head, I managed to picked up the context cue and sing this in tune the first time. I'm a little surprised by that.

    Fun song though!

    Yep, pretty much what you're seeing there. Nonplussed in American English has a slang definition of "to be unfazed". Happens with living languages. A couple other examples--

    Terrific: used to mean something that denoted terror, but now can mean something that denotes a positive response.
    Awful: used to mean something that inspires awe, but it has a second meaning now to denote something that is bad.

    It's Doc being frustrated. He knows neither thing he addressed will listen to him anyway. :3

    GM: “Now that you have defeated the boss, it's time to deal with its stupid children in a room full of primed laser turrets.”
    Doc: “I think I remember something in the notes about being on fire would aggravate the turrets.”
    Doc: (Checks notes) “The notes said fire, smoke, poking the turrets, and not being a basic quadruped pony shape will set the turrets off. Okay, important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.”

    Doc: “Dr. Tenaculum, do the turrets respond to someone shooting the experiments?”
    Dr. Tenaculum: “If you fired from inside the labs, the turrets in the labs would shoot you. They are programmed to assume a victim follows the Ministry of Peace-approved conflict resolution system, which involves laying down and crying for help.”
    Doc: “"Good to know, but we're gonna skip the MoP part of the rules here.”

    Bertly: “The doctor's favorite foods include mangos and avocados.”
    Doc: “I like Dr. Tenaculum already!”

    Moon: “Well, how many of them are there Doc?”
    Doc: “I saw one, so there's probably two, maybe three of them.”
    Choro: “My caps say half a dozen, minimum.”
    Doc: “Yeah... maybe I'm being too optimistic.”

    I assume so, given that Blackjack ate some that were baked into what can only be described as a battle-grade pancake (which was made by Morning Glory and included other oddities like scrap metal and machine oil). Thankfully, BJ had a tendency to eat strange food even before she was cybernetic ally augmented.


    DM: As you enter the room, the first thing you notice a large, luxurious queen-size bed with crimson sheets. Within in lies the sleeping form of a very attractive woman. The second thing you notice is Joey standing about five feet to the left, clad only in a flowery pink apron, and holding a tray with what smells like french toast upon it.
    Serrah: "Uh..." *covers Linsey's eyes*
    Davis: "What. The. Hell?"
    Joey: "This...isn't what it looks like!"

    Davis: "Let me get this straight: While we slugged our way though multiple life-threatening games, including being pushed down a hill in a teacup towards a lake of acid, getting spiked boulders thrown at us, being shot at by cannons, wading though a ball pit full of snakes, navigating an obstacle course trying to crush us, and having to endure Linsey's singing,"
    Linsey: "HEY!"
    Davis: "You were content playing tonsil hockey with the enemy?"
    Joey: "To be fair, she did have me at gun point."
    Serrah: "Sounds more like you were busy defusing her bombs."

    Joey: "Welp, no point in hanging around here any longer, let's get going!"
    Serrah: "Aren't you forgetting something important?"
    Joey: "Like what?
    Davis: "Do us all a favor and put some pants on."

    I don't think that's what they meant by 'consumes gems".

    What I like about Shadowrun cybernetics is that it has a lot of options, but is fairly straightforward to figure out. You can get components for nearly any kind of ability, and you're only limited by your Essence score (like a soul stat). Mix and match as you want.


    These days "awful" is only ever used to mean the bad thing, right?
    It's the only definition I've heard it used for.

    The MoP procedure is how Dr. Tenaculum described it--you curl up on the floor and cry for help if you're attacked.

    Uh... How's that work?

    Gambi's player: Dang it, guys, we specifically messed with fusion so it wouldn't be a metaphor for real stuff, and now you're turning the cosmic disaster into a thinly veiled abortion allegory? Come on! I'm here to blow stuff up and needlessly complicate things with my emotions!

    Shae: What in my name is going on here? (Teehee, deity jokes)
    Aurora: I know this looks bad, but we've got to make her look as dapper as possible.
    Gambi: I knew the price I would pay.

    Dante: I miss the good old days.
    Aurora: What? We all barely tolerated each other and the Earth was constantly under attack.
    Dante: Yeah, but that was simple. All this closeness and peacetime is too... feelingsy.

    Shae: So where were you last night?
    Gambi: I, um, plead the Third.
    Shae: ... You refuse to offer free housing to soldiers in wartime?
    Gambi: No, something about not having to self-incriminate, I think. Maybe it was the Fifth?
    Shae: Why would there be a law like that? Anybody dumb enough to accidentally testify against themselves should be separated from society on principle.
    Aurora: I'm not sure if you're just horrible or if you really have no idea what fairness is and just stopped reading at the Fourth Amendment.

    Dante: *does some adjustments on a chart*
    Aurora: What's that?
    Dante: Number of women living here who have better luck with the ladies than me, and the rate they're added. If I extrapolate from the current rate and take the average of how many partners a given individual will have, I can calculate that I'll acquire a steady girlfriend sometime within the next seven years!
    Aurora: That chart also suggests there will be over 40 lesbians living here by then...
    Shae: [from another room] Stop abusing statistics!

    Reporter: So what's it like for each of you, being superheroes?
    Shae: High-stakes, stressful, and thankless, but I'm glad for the friends I've gained doing it. So... Basically just like everything I've ever done.
    Aurora: It's difficult and not at all glamorous. You'd think I'd spend my time thinking of how great I am for saving so many people, but it's a lot more sleepless nights agonizing over my failures. But I do take pride in inspiring another generation of heroes to rise up. Especially the hot ones. I am dating three superheroines. Stand in fear and awe.
    Gambi: I think it's exciting! Sometimes it's scary and I don't know what to do, and sometimes people get hurt and it's sad, but for the most part, I'm flying around blowing up baddies and ruffling the hair of little kids I just dramatically rescued from monsters and disasters and Brussels sprouts. What more could a girl want?
    Dante: Hero? Where? I don't fight crime. The only thing I work to destroy is the plot.

    Dante: I've spent the last seven months doing everything in my power to avoid a character development arc and you won't break my record, dammit.

    Dante: Gah, I've got to do something for the children at home! *turns in a random direction* A brief distraction from the horrible gory violence to remind you to always brush your teeth! Never stop brushing.
    Gambi: I... Can't believe I actually fused with that. [shouts] We're in the middle of a fight, moron!

    Aurora: I am sick and tired of all these motherloving subplots on this motherloving train!

    Dante: There are two parts to my answer to that. The first part is that I can fly at a third of the speed of light and have no interest in what you're saying. The second part is bye. *flies away*

    I feel giving context would be off topic. Also, I honestly can't explain it that well. That campaign was complicated.
    Suffice to say that he had reasons to want me dead, way outclassed me*, and was writing something that looked 'note-to-GM'y. I decided that cowering in terror was the better part of valour.

    Only half of it was bad. Honestly, it was ok until the events on the battleship, then it dropped to being tolerable. It didn't really start sucking until the events at Shadowbolt Tower, which I suspect resulted from having a too convoluted bad guy and being overly influenced by action anime (which honestly didn't fit the Fallout theme too well).
    I'd say it stays readable until around chapter 68 or 69.

    I would say it was ok for a little while. Tolerable until Blackjack met Littlepip and then it just flat out got bad. The Battleship was it's last chance to end with some dignity, but it messed up that up and kept going. And going. And going. Project Horizons remains the most overbloated story I have ever read. Period. And I only got something like halfway through it.

    This is all from one session.

    "Dude, have you been snorting birds?"
