    Default My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!




    Trixie's Great and Powerful Guide v1.96
    XXXy Edition


    Brief Introduction

    Spoiler
    Show
    My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a reboot of the MLP franchise by Powerpuff Girls artist Lauren Faust, currently viewed by (almost) the entire Internet, not only the intended audience. Here is a place where we discuss the joy of friendship.

    > My Little Pony? Seriously?

    It's a clever show. It has excellent writing, character dynamics, humor, animation, and generally treats kids seriously rather than condescending to them. It has every right to be a 20 minute corporate committee designed infomercial, but it's not.

    > Isn't this a show for little girls?

    Pixar technically makes shows for little boys, and produce some of the best animation in the world.

    > Okay, fine. I'll give it a try. Where do I start?

    No Brony could ask for more. I recommend watching the episodes in order. They're all up on Youtube. Unusually, Hasbro seems fine with having the entire series up in public because they've made no move to bring down any of the episodes. Search for "Friendship is Magic Episode 1" and you should find the series pretty easily... Or search for "Sharing is Magic" Google Doc. That is all.

    > Okay, I'm going to watch it but this had better live up to the hype!

    Whoa, calm down there. The show is light hearted, optimistic fun but it's not for everyone. It's good fun, the community is good fun, and everyone can do with a reminder that friendship is magic but if it doesn't gel for you we'll love and tolerate you anyway. Plus, you might hit the wrong episode. Ask first?

    > Iron Hoof/Fan Theories/Shipping/Binding

    All in good fun! If it's not your cup of tea, skim it, but this show has triggered a great creative outpouring from the Internet. Pony themed fan-art is abundant and often excellent. See below for some examples.

    > Derpy Hooves/Doctor Whoof

    Two minor background characters who were adopted as emblems of 4chan. Derpy Hooves is so named due to an animation error in the first episode that had her eyes facing in different directions; 4chan has assigned her the role of Ponyville's mailpony, and her only line so far has been "Muffins". The show's animators are aware of Derpy's popularity and she's shown up a few times recently with her eyes obviously derped. Currently made canon in Feeling Pinkie Keen and in Faust's picture showcased below, Derpy was deemed important enough to appear in storyboards for Season II.

    Dr. Whoof is a pony with an hourglass cutie mark; he and his kin save time and space very quietly off camera.

    A loud fiery burp, that was a staple of the household, announced the arrival of the most recently sent mail from the royalty of Canterlot. “This one’s from Luna!” Announced Spike, holding out the letter. Grabbing it with telekinesis, Twilight opened it and began to read, eager to see what had been sent over today. I was sitting at the table in the mini kitchen that was the extent that the library could provide. Looking over, I watched as momma Twilight read the letter. Watching her face slowly go from thrilled, to mildly worried, to out-right horrified was something I would’ve found amusing if it weren’t my own mother. “What’s wrong momma?” I asked. Twilight wordlessly floated the letter over to me.

    Dear Twilight and Midnight:
    I write to you with news most dire. Back when I was still recently banished to the moon, Celestia struck a deal with the griffon kingdom that had several terms and deals, but only one of them is still relevant today. It’s most basic message was “Peace between our kingdoms shall stand as long as the moon is within the sky.” Unfortunately, the current monarch has less enlightened goals then the wise king of old, and has finally managed to get it through their system of red tape and governmental blocking, to make an argument that, ever since the mare in the moon vanished, it’s no longer the same moon in the sky and the deal is null and void. Everyone in Canterlot has been worried for days, but we may have finally figured out a compromise: the current king listens incredibly closely to his grand vizer, who has chosen to take his holidays in ponyville this year. If he has positive things to say about us, then the whole situation might be resolved with minimal effort. The problem is, he’s incredibly stuck-up and apparently says that he will only consort with those “equivalent to a king.” Normally me, or Celly would deal with this, but we’ve got our own massive political melt-down in progress over at the castle. The point of this being, we’ve worked out yet another compromise. He would be willing to talk to you if you were with another pony of the same rank. Very unfortunately, we’ve only got one pony we can spare. On the plus side, you’re familiar with him, on the down-side......It’s Blueblood the second.


    Yours truly, Luna

    P.S.
    As a apology for what I know must be horrible for you, I found a gift for both of you. It’s a small consolation, but all I can do at the moment.

    I dropped the letter in sheer shock. Blueblood the second? But Momma Luna knew of our...Interactions in the past. And what was this “gift” that she wrote about? That’s when another fiery burp lit up the library. “That was a big one.” I remarked dryly, too busy processing having to be in the company of blueblood to notice that the entire library had just been glowing from the most recent message.

    Spike hefted up the most recent arrival, a tome wrapped in brown paper to ensure safe travel. I silently watched Momma Twilight carefully remove the wrapping from the tome and read out the title. “Magiks of the moon.” I was somewhat surprised by Momma Twilight’s following excitement. “Do you know what this is?” she said. Truth be told, I’d seen a couple of references in some of the older books in the library, but I wasn’t about to spoil Momma’s fun, no matter how distraught I was. “No?” I answered weakly. “It’s just about the oldest book on magic there is! This was the defining work from back before nightmare moon! Everyone had assumed it long lost and the knowledge inside gone forever! Do you know what this could mean if it were deciphered?”
    News like that was enough to bring me to my hooves again. Twilight continued, still in librarian mode “Think of all the knowledge this contains!” Opening it reverentially, she leafed through some of the pages. “La Maladie Maledictum, Sillurian Miscellana, Rowen's Saggitarii, l'Grandè è l'Formidablè Eixirt? This is some of the most complex spell-work I’ve ever seen!” Noticing her distraction, I seized the opportunity to get some words in. “I don’t suppose we could try untangling any of this stuff together?” “Of course!” Said Twilight, looking shocked for a moment, “Even if this stuff didn’t require two unicorns working on them, I’d still want you to help! I’ll read through some of this stuff, and see what we can try first, all right?” Before I could reply, Twilight bounded up into her bedroom and closed the door behind her. Despite this, I had to grin. Anything this interesting that made momma that happy had to be good. And maybe the whole Blueblood situation wouldn’t be too bad after all. But first things first.... “I’m going out for my lunch momma!” I said bounding out the door, knowing that there was a certain somepony waiting for me.....




    And somewhere on the other side of ponyville.....




    I sat in my den of knowledge, my cave of news, my... rug of rumors! Imagine, if you will, a plain and simple wall, in a plain and simple newspaper office. Look closer at this wall, You notice a door, “But surely this is but an ordinary door leading to, perhaps, a broom closet?” Is what you might say if you knew not the truth. If you were to enter, you would see the true glory that began as a vision and has been brought to reality. I had notes about every event that has ever happened in Ponyville, all the rumors and gossip on the street pieced together across the room with pins and string functioning as my web of truth. Allowing me to have a giant ball of lies which, if properly tended, some information could be carefully gleamed from.

    My keen reporter’s eye observing all of today’s rumors as I filtered them through. “Prince rumored to be arriving in town?” Preposterous! “Town council receiving mysterious bribes?” Irrelevant! I scanned through looking for some real news. Ah-ha! I found the true piece of news within this all!


    That was when the door was kicked open. “The web of truth! “ I blurted out before realizing who it was. “Hey boss, I found her! She’s taking her lunch break in the broom closet again!” Shouted Snappy Scoops (No relation to the dashingly brilliant Reporter-pony Whadda Scoops) “Well, leave her there until she’s finished then!” Cried back Deadline, the editor of “Trotter” . “Actually” I said gathering my things “I’ve got a stakeout to partake in.” “Is this one of your famous stake-outs Whadda?” Jeered Snappy. “Like that time you-” “We agreed never to speak of that again!” I yelled out before she could mention the incident. “I have a real piece of news to pursue!” I shouted over my shoulder, while leaving the headquarters behind. Somepony’s been leaving mysterious transcripts at the library! While over my shoulder I could hear them discussing the benefits of keeping somepony who can think in italics.











    Whadda:

    It was a perfect night for observing the library. The stars were up, it was lovely and warm, and even the normal inhabitant of the bushes was out at a recital, so I manged to get the best spot for observation. As a result of this, Whadda has decided to speak in the third-pony when announcing her plans to pull out her binoculars and hunker down.

    ….............................

    No results. Whadda has to pack it in just before dawn, but she knows that her persistence shall be rewarded! Whadda is now going to save her third-pony perspective to avoid creeping out the ponies at the newsstable.

    …......................................
    Whadda is back for another night of dedicated watching towards her goal of finding this unofficial library contributer! Although I am hoping to find the library bandit tonight because the weather team does have a thunder storm planned later tonight. Combined with the fact that there’s no recital tonight....

    …...................................

    That was the most miserable night of Whadda’s entire life. She is now soaking wet and will have to go to work like this! At least Whadda has gotten most of the mud off herself and dried off her hat. Most of the scratches were superficial anyway. “Whadda has now decided to obtain a hot drink at the newsstabl-” Whadda announced aloud, before having her speech cut off by the greatest thing Whadda has ever seen in her long and varied career of reporting. The most perfect, beautiful, and snow-white pegasus that Whadda has ever seen stood, buying a copy of “Trotter” of the newsstable. “Careful Whadda, you know how many celebrity ponies are actually horrible under those looks.” Whadda mumbled under her breath, but apparently not quiet enough as the pegasus turned, amazingly of course, towards Whadda with the newspaper wrapped under one wing and said “Eh? I didn’t quite catch that.” She said in a voice, like to all that could hear it was a melody of angels. “What’s your name?” She asked, taking Whadda by surprise. “Whadda Scoops the reporter has decided to state her name to the pegasus as being Whadda Scoops!” Was what my mouth fired off before my brain had a chance to intervene. An awkward moment passed slowly. “You’ve got only one chance to impress her so get it right!” I mentally screamed at myself. But what was a smooth, innocuous comment that would impress her, obviously a mare of the greatest taste and sensibilities?

    Then my keen reporter’s eyes scanned over her and my pupils widened in shock. I knew what I had to do. “I’m reporting on the story of library bandit you know. So, how was the library last night?” I said as it were the most normal thing in Equestria, to the greatest of my ability while a living dream was in my presense. I noticed her reaction, her complete freezing with the smile still on her lips, that only confirmed further what I knew. “I.....Don't know what you’re talking about,” She said quickly, with a voice that sounded better then an orchestra of angels. “Why would you possibly think that?” I hated to push her like this, but even beauty to launch a thousand ships must take second place to the truth. “Well, as I’ve been in hideout last night there’s a numerous amount of clues. Firstly, your wings are still sligthly wet, you’ve done a good job on drying them, but they still have a slight fluff. Secondly, on your hooves are a combination of grass with the slight magical tint that comes from being near a concentration of magic, which only exists in two places in ponyville and if you’d been seeing Zecora, somepony would’ve brought it to me. Thirdly ,there were a variety of other clues, slight tells on your part when I mentioned it but most importantly, I saw a white feather caught in the window sill last night.”
    Seeing her clear discomfort at the masterful summary of the facts was obviously causing her some distress, and what lady of undeafeatable beauty wouldn’t be distressed at these facts? So I decided to wrap it up quickly. “With all these facts in place I’m afraid there is only one conclusion I can bring from this.” I paused, dramatically pointing a hoof at this paragon of everything beautiful and said “You might have seen the bandit!”

    Midnight:
    “So then what happened?” “She had to go to work, so she scheduled an interview for noon. But enough of that, how’s your day going?” “Well, your most recent manuscript is really good but....” I lowered my voice slightly for empathsis as I recited Momma Luna’s letter. “But at least it’s only for a week.” “That sounds like a really mean things for your mother to do.” “I suppose the situation’s desperate, But I can deal with it. How bad could it be?” The town clock then rang twelve times. “I suppose you’re right. Good luck!” “See you later.” I said, trotting away. Mulling over my last words, “How bad could it be?” I repeated to reassure myself, heading towards the town hall. My question was swiftly answered when I saw the upper-most window break in the town hall, observed as something flew towards me, and was surprised when the mayor landed on top of me.

    Whadda Scoops:

    Whadda scoops was hungry. Whadda had a tendency towards avoiding extraneous actions when she was focusing on something more important. But this had to take the cake. She had to just hope that she could cut the mustard with her and not collapse on a table for today’s interview. “Quit thinking in the third-pony Whadda.” I murmured to myself. My keen reporter’s instincts never failing me, I took a mental nope of the “Situation” between the town’s resident princess and the mayor, and decided it was a story for another time. Rounding the corner, I was surprised to bump into a white pegsi, who happened to be the paragon of all beauty and wonder and.... “Hi! I’ll meet you at the cafe in a moment, I heard a crash and want to check if Midnight is alright.” Acting at her bequest, I went and sat down at a table. My concerns about personality were unfounded after all! She truly cared for even random ponies who she could have in no possible situation, shape, form, or fashion have known. Then I ordered a marigold salad before I collapsed from hunger.

    Midnight Sparkle:
    “Momma dearest?” I said, stumbling into the library. “can you find me an anesthetic spell?” At that point Twilight left her bedroom and caught a glimpse of the distress I felt. “Would you believe that having the mayor tossed on top of me was one of the best things that happened today?” “Midnight, what happened?” “Six Hours! Six hours of listening to Prince Blueblood alternate between chumming it up with Jezuin and proposing to me! Jezuinhimself is horrible! Anyone who isn’t a member of royalty he refers to as ‘peasants’ and his first action when coming into town was claim the largest building as his own, then throw everyone out. Literally, in the case of the mayor.”

    “Darling, that sounds terrible! But...” It was then I recognized momma’s position. Shuffling her hooves, general nervousness, and inability to stay still? I knew what was coming, but decided to let momma have her fun. “Yes, momma?” “Would advanced jade-binding make you feel better.” My jaw dropped upon hearing this. “Really momma? You mean...” “Yeah! This book really does contain some old stuff!” “So, we could use this to bind a spell to a jade stone, and the spell effect would last much longer then usual?” “Yes, and normally it’d be at most twenty percent longer, but with the techinques in the book, the effect could be enhanced up to three times as long!” “That’s incredible!” “The thing is, it’s really fiddly work, which is why I’ve waited for you to get home.” “Let’s get cracking then!”

    “Which is why I stayed up until 9:00 AM doing magic today.” I announced to Shimmer. “So that’s why you look so-” Shimmer then had the good grace to look slightly embarrassed before continuing. “Either way, I hope you have a good day.” “Me too, although the signs are saying that it’s going to be even worse then yesterday.” “What signs?” “The giant banner of his face that’s placed on the town hall.” Shimmer quickly flew up, then back down to our table. “Is he serious?” “I’m the mare spending a week with him. I’m VERY certain that he’s serious. But anyway, how did yesterday’s interview with the reporter go?” “We’re having another one today!” She said, unable to keep the edge of excitement out of her voice. “But I thought it was an interview abou-” My line of enquiry was interrupted by the noon bell. “You’d better hurry along! Whadda should be here any second now.” I trotted away, suspicious. How could she be so excited for the arrival of Whadda? I shook my head to try and think clearly. It would probably just a combination of nerves and lack of sleep. I’m sure everything is fine.
    Part 4:

    Whadda:
    I couldn’t believe it. This sort of thing just doesn’t happen to me. Whatever I did to deserve this wasn’t enough. Either way, what I do next will be just perfect for Shimmer (And me)

    Midnight:
    Everything is not fine! Every time I look out the window, I see them talking and laughing over their tea. Even though, I should stay calm, it’s just stress....
    Maybe Blueblood and Jezuin have calmed down now? Mayb- where’d he get an elephant?
    At least magical study with momma will improve my day...

    “Midnight are you ok?” Mommna Twilight’s words shook me from my stupour. “Becasue we’re about to go into a delicate phase.” Well, that and the fact that we were working with incredibly sensitive magic. “Is there anything I should know before we start?” “No, it’s fine” I said, enjoying the evening breeze at the outskirts of town that was deemed the “minimum safe distance” for the magical experiments. “It’s just so...” “Yes?” “This reporter seems unususally friendly towards Shimmer” “Who?” “Whadda Scoops.” Momma burst out laughing. “Him? I’ve read his articles and he’s about one of the worst reporters in equestria. I thought he lived in Manehatten though.”

    “According to Trotter she moved over here a few months back. Also, She’s a mare.” “Really? Well that explains your worry.” “Why would I worry if a colt was really flirtatious to Shimmer?”

    A long, awkward silence descended. Then momma said nervously “You are joking right?” “Yes! Very definitely.” “Oh good because....” “With a colt?” “It’d be....”

    The silence came down again. Momma nervously coughed and I said “Should we just finish this quickly?” “That might be for the best.” We finished up, and I was the one to carry the book home.

    Whadda:
    So, despite my beautiful (in every sense of the word) lead, I had to continue my stake-out on the library. I wasn’t really expecting anypony to show up. That’s why I was so surprised to hear a brief discussion that I couldn’t hear, then a purple unicorn I recognized as Luna’s daughter. I was wondering what she could be doing, when she just pushed the door open and went in, carrying a book, wrapped in brown paper. It all clicked! Not wanting to reveal my hoof, I waited patiently. After 20 minutes, when I was relatively sure she wouldn’t be coming back out, I knew what must be done, but in order to do so, I was going to have to gather some equipment, and try and recruit some help. Unfortunately, the only pony who I think could be trusted is Snappy Scoops.

    So, after some quick surveying, equipment gathering, and sweet-talking to Snappy I was ready to begin!

    Hooray new thread!

    What better time than to tell a nice little story?

    Those of you on the IRC have most likely already heard this.

    For those of you who follow the MLP Drawthread, you know that I had two costumes for Nightmare Night, one of which was Derpy.

    I walked into my Drama class that day, and my teacher had no idea who I was, so I explained the history of the character, how a fan-created name was accepted as the canonical name. She loved the idea, and said she would look it up.

    The next day, I walk into class to see her texting away. I didn't see who she was talking to, but I saw her type in my name, so I asked who was on the other end.

    "Oh, just a friend of mine. I'm telling her about your costume and acting and stuff. She thinks you sound really cool!"

    I'm rather confused at this point, so I ask, "Who exactly is this person?"

    She says, "Does the name Sarah Wall mean anything to you?"

    ...

    My mind broke.

    My drama teacher is on FIRST NAME TERMS with this woman. And the best part?

    Those of you on the IRC have most likely already heard this.

    For those of you who follow the MLP Drawthread, you know that I had two costumes for Nightmare Night, one of which was Derpy.

    I walked into my Drama class that day, and my teacher had no idea who I was, so I explained the history of the character, how a fan-created name was accepted as the canonical name. She loved the idea, and said she would look it up.

    The next day, I walk into class to see her texting away. I didn't see who she was talking to, but I saw her type in my name, so I asked who was on the other end.

    "Oh, just a friend of mine. I'm telling her about your costume and acting and stuff. She thinks you sound really cool!"

    I'm rather confused at this point, so I ask, "Who exactly is this person?"

    She says, "Does the name Sarah Wall mean anything to you?"

    ...

    My mind broke.

    My drama teacher is on FIRST NAME TERMS with this woman. And the best part?

    So last thread I may have mentioned trying to do a drawing of ponies riding bikes. Specifically Lyra and Bon Bon on a tandem.

    By Celestia's beard what was I thinking!? You guys, it turns out, get this, it turns out that bikes are not only hard to draw but are also not proportioned for ponies. I know, weird, right? *headdesk* I'll try again some other time once I've gotten some actual skill.

    Not to mention contradictory to their stated position on bronies, which is best summarized as "we don't get it but we like it."

    Since the moon wars, the Sun Princess has steadily been more tyrannical, methodical, and cruel. Over the last few decades she has also descended into depravity and madness; in her paranoia, she has begun ruthlessly hunting down and arresting random ponies, Charging them with treason and conspiracy. Equestria is an iron-clad shamble, it's infrastructure supported by a small fraternity who formed amongst the courtiers and royal guards.

    Unbeknownst to the Princess, or the guardsponies, the moon is an entire plane rather than a barren, rocky satellite. Strewen with ancient ruins of a past civilization, and roamed by those of monstrous mien, creature and pony alike. The Princess has been banishing ponies, griffons, diamond dogs, even
    dragons, and on the moon a society of sorts is forming.

    The dragons, messengers and guardians of the moon's limited wealth, have formed kingdoms. The ponies, caught between moon monsters and stacking slavers, have formed their own outposts. What magic is available has been used to eke out a lunarial existence, and the rarest of dragons - the messengers - remain allied with ponykind. Supplies and food trickle in through dragon's fire, supplying the Lunarian elite with supplies to feed their lust for power. Kingdoms form. Factions rise. The land itself seeks to extinguish those who tread too heavy upon it, and you, either a veteran of the moon or banished to it, for crimes real or imagined, must forge your way in this strange new land — if you can survive your stone prison.


    Welcome to


    DUNGEONS
    (In the Place You Were Banished To)
    &
    DRAGONS

    NB: From what I gather, the setting is still a WIP, not sure if it will be grimdark or not but here are some associated Siuis ramblings in response to various reactions from the ponythread.

    Well, if you want to roll up a new character, be my guest. I had tried to set it up such that the current batch would sort of "wake up" and realize they aren't in the Equestria they went to sleep in. This would let ponies be in the game without hanging very much and would give the party a sense of kinship (since they all remember a world that didn't exist), but I'm not sure I've put it together well enough just yet.

    Grimdark? Well, it could be, aye. I fear that may be the language choices I made however.


    Ambiguity was intentional; I don't want to nail something down and have to undo it later.

    Currently, there are big dragons such as in DragonShy and Owls Well That Ends Well, that are able to eke out large territories or "kingdoms". It's an in-game reason to have a place that isn't just over-run with moon monsters.

    The smaller dragons, like Spike, would work specifically with their close pony friends. And while the Bluebloods of the world would rather just have a bunch of ponies fawn over them, the Trixies of the world have no problem publicly humiliating those who would rock the boat. Like, say, putting them in the stocks? Except where do you get the stocks? And how do you keep ponies in them? So we need guards and labor. But how do we keep the guards loyal? Why, bribery, of course! And so a web of greedy pony politics formed in my head.

    As for resources, I believe some parts of the moon are hospitable (I could see Fluttershy specifically making a niche for herself, growing food and bringing culture to the moon monsters). And even if supplies could only be transferred dragonto dragon, all it takes is a banished noble writing one heartfelt plea for a good home-cooked supper, before they realize there is an items-only fast trade route back to Equestria. Pocket black markets would spring up in no time.



    Makes sense. As I said, ambiguity is a future for me right now. I'm allowing the chance for grim stuff very specifically, for two reasons. The first is a nod to the source material (Dungeons and Dragons). The second, more important reason is leeway. As things stand, the setting is like the Nightmare Before Christmas; it's an ostensibly dark setting, full o undead and demons. Yet cannibalism, being fired on by artillery, treachery, and kidnapping are still horrible atrocities.

    Similarly, the setting is potentially horrible; banished to a far off realm, having to create a society amongst the criminals and the naive both, tyrannical dragons using diamond dog hit men to enslave ponies... But these are ponies. They don't do that sort of thing.

    In the end, I'm not going to have some royal pony slap around the hired help while the heroes watch if they spend there time being show-accurate and heroic, because that's horrible. But if the party decides they want to run a black market smuggling ring, I'm not going to keep the rest of the world all cartoon-y. It's as broad as can be so the players can set the tone.

    -

    Okie doke, so I realize that the pieces I've written up imply a setting to me, but I can't just leave it at that, aye?

    Spoiler
    Show
    I needed three things for the game. Dungeons, dragons, and banishment. Dungeon was easy; it followed banishment. But only Celestia has that power, so why not banished to the moon?

    I like the setting concept because it displays the best of both dungeons and dragons, and ponies. Adrift in a strange land, how do they adapt? The ponies colonize, trade, and bolster. Some are perfectly fine, finding the moon to be just like Equestria, though in need of some terraforming. Others desperately want to return home, and seek the means to do so. Others are just biding their time until something gives, living their lives as best they can. There can be normal pony cities, metropolitan areas with many different cultures, dungeons with reclusive loners, and all of that stuff. It's also of note; how do earth ponies survive without equestrian soil (earth)? How do pegasi live when clouds are a rarity? What do unicorns do without Canterlot, the societal center that is their home territory?

    The moon is a strange land. The sun ne'er graces the height of it's skies, and with good reason; Equestria doesn't appear as a round world, but as an impossibly large disk superimposed over the sky. As the moon rises, the western edge of Equestria sweeps across the lunar surface, rotating; at midnight when the moon is highest, Equestria is a flat place, seemingly hundreds of miles above the moon, and finally, it starts to tilt again, the eastern side falling towards the moon's surface like a huge see-saw1
    Additionally, Nightmare Moon was banished here as well. She certainly doesn't want to be here! Now if only somepony could actually find her, they'd have a powerful ally, who could maybe get them back to Equestria. after all, canon NMM was alone on the moon, with no society or friendship to draw from.

    I also decided to include some stuff from the thread for a laugh. Why is everything so different? Leo followed Starry Notions through time, into the past, and true to his expectations it mucked everything up. And of course he is unable to find Starry (or Whooves) to fix it.

    I can see how it's too grim, indeed. But to me, it's no worse than any port adventure, where there is the possibility of a seedy underbelly. Every D&D setting has these details, I'm just listing the for the sake of completion.


    Obvious weaknesses are that I need more of a planned story for PbP, I need to not spread things so thin, and I need to decide on the final touches.

    Another note is lethality. I really want it to be non-lethal, but I've had some bad experiences with perceived player immortality...

    That's my hand, as far as I can remember it. Any pointers, suggestions, questions or critique appreciated.

    1: it makes sense if you envision it like an amusement ride; your flat disk is on an invisible arm, and goes around another disk which is stationary. At the zenith, you're looking "up" at a flat plane. As you move, the edges "tilt" towards you.
    Even better, I figure the dark side of Equestria are where all the monsters are, jumping to the moon and then jumping to the surface afterwards.
    And the Collated Character Sheets (Topaz and Esper, it took me FOREVER to find yours )

    I don't know if everyone intends to use these characters in the above PbP RP, since the discussion about the RiM framework and character sheets predates Siuis announcing his RPG.

    Anyway, for comparison, have a gander:

    Anyone want to take a wild guess what kind of farm his cousins have? (Fun fact, if it were pemitted in these RP mechanics, I would have had him have a variant of "pinkie sense" which made him sneeze when something shady is going on nearby)

    In case any of this seems familiar, its probably for good reason ... I kind of view Iggy as a pony version of Inspector Columbo.

    Background:

    Spoiler
    Show
    Born to a musical family in Canterlot, there was no doubt that her talents would lie in a similar field. Groomed on several instruments as a foal, she soon realised her passion for creating music, as opposed to simply making it.

    She has shown some aptitude for it and has since become a composer of moderate note and a conductor of several classical ensembles in Canterlot(unfortunately, not including the Royal Philharmonic which plays exclusively for the Princesses). Her dream is to one day compose a piece and conduct it in front of the Royal Sisters.

    She also teaches music at the Canterlot Musical College (CMC). Unfortunately for her, this is where a lot of the richer families send their offspring for mandatory music lessons. Between countless hours of fruitlessly correcting snot nosed royals, and hearing her music butchered at their hooves, she’s developed a rather caustic streak in her vocabulary. She enjoys fencing, simply because it gives her an outlet for the considerable frustrations of her position and also dabbles in cooking from time to time.

    Roleplaying is Magic Character Sheet:
    Name: Candle Keeper

    Description: Thin, beady eyed, and wiry, Candle Keeper always looks desperate no matter what he's doing. By all rights his large coat-robe should make him seem larger, but all it does is seem to accentuate his thin frame. His voice is usually thin and reedy, but can change in to a bellow with shocking suddenness. Ponies often describe him as "unbalanced". Also of interest is the strange amulet he has around his neck, which glows disconcertingly.

    Coloration: His fur is a very light grey-blue. His mane is black and stringy. His eyes (when large enough to be seen) are green-gray.

    Race: Earth Pony
    Age: Stallion
    Special Purpose: Used to be candle making, but now he does whatever his patron tells him to.
    Cutie Mark: A fancy candle. However, the candle is faded, and superimposed over it is an amulet identical to the one around his neck.
    Primary Attributes: Body 2, Mind 3, Heart 2
    Secondary Attributes:Health 4, Energy 5, Courage 5
    Talents: Tough, Tireless
    Job: Wandering Priest
    Skills: Crafting: Candles, Crafting: Magical items, Hoisting, Running Away, Sneaking, etc. etc. etc. you guys think of something.
    Guiding Element of Harmony: Generosity

    Magic: Although Candle is an Earth Pony, his amulet acts as proxy horn for him. Provided he brings the right ingredients, he work nearly any kind of magic with it.

    Chargermane
    Pegasus Stallion

    Cutie Mark/Special Purpose: A (targe) shield with a sun motif, representing the purpose of defending Equestria and its people against any foe.
    Primary Attributes: Body 2, Mind 2, Heart 3
    Secondary Attributes: Health 5, Energy 4, Courage 5
    Talents: Charismatic, Willful
    Job: Royal Guard Trainer
    Skills: Melee Combat, Monster Lore, Intimidation, History, Persuation, Military Leadership
    Element of Harmony: Loyalty

    Many years ago Chargermane proved himself to be a loyal champion of Princess Celestia's Royal Guard. Since he had a natural talent for command he soon earned a high rank within the order, and was known for being a more active commander than what was common in the Guard, on occasion even seeking out and fighting threats in the field.

    However, after one campaign he decided to retire, and he has since trained promising recruits at the academy instead. He is known as a friendly and charismatic old pony, who genuinely cares for and encourages his students. However, he (and those of his old unit who still live) refuses to discuss what happened during his last mission, and it appears to be surprisingly hard to find out information about it.

    He keeps a close eye on Paladin, the pony who was appointed Royal Agent. He sees him almost as his own son, and wants to make sure he does not make any major mistakes during his own mission to protect Equestria.


    Dragonscale (Althanair)

    Dragonscale
    Unicorn Mare

    Cutie Mark/Special Purpose: A dragon, representing the purpose of bringing friendship between ponies and dragonkind.
    Primary Attributes: Body 2, Mind 3, Heart 2
    Secondary Attributes: Health 4, Energy 5, Courage 5
    Talents: Perceptive, Charismatic
    Job: Dragonfriend
    Skills: Dragon Lore, Survival, Hunting, Fire Breath (Magic), Dragon Traits (Magic), Intensify Flames (Magic), Melee Combat, Intimidation, Spot
    Element of Harmony: Kindness

    Effects: Change, Create, Know

    Sample Tricks: Fire Breath (Create Fire), Smoke Cloud (Create Fire), Intensify Flames (Create Fire), Dragon Traits (Change Body), Locate Animals (Know Animal), Heal/Bolster Dragon (Create Body), Heat Vision (Know Fire)


    The pony known as Dragonscale hails from the same village as the Royal Agent Paladin, and they were friends growing up. She was often a bit timid (though not to Fluttershy's extent), in contrast to the bold Paladin, and she liked animals, especially reptiles. Even though dragons were rarely seen in those parts of Equestria she greatly admired them, and hoped to meet one one day.

    Then one day she got what she wished for, but not quite the way she wanted. A young green dragon found the village in its hunt for food, and it saw the ponies as just that. Despite the threat to her families and friends she did not want to see the magnificent beast hurt, so when Paladin charged and fought it the young unicorn became upset.

    Though she knew it was what had to be done to save them all, her anger clouded her judgement. Silently she escaped from the others and followed the injured dragon back into the forest. Strangely enough it did not lash out at her, but allowed her to treat it. And so her Cutie Mark appeared: a dragon.

    Over the following years she stayed in the depths of the forest, becoming more dragon than pony. Still, she did not sever connections with her family completely, and returned every once in a while to see how they were doing. They were proud of her, of course, but still warned her that dragons are dangerous creatures not to be taken lightly. She assured them that she was a friend of the dragons, and that she was on a mission to ensure friendship between ponies and dragons.

    But nothing lasts forever, it would seem. Paladin, her old friend, had become an agent of Celestia, a monster hunter, and dragons were his enemies. One dragon he fought was a young one not unlike the one he had fought back in the village when he gained his Mark, and it was a friend of Dragonscale. The battle was ferocious, and in the end the dragon retreated, heavily wounded from Paladin's attacks. She tried to heal it, but it was not enough. The dragon died, and that was the breaking point for her. She swore revenge on Equestria, and Paladin specifically. There could be no coexistence, at least not until the current order had fallen.

    Roleplaying is Magic Character Sheet

    Name: Inkblot

    Description: An earth pony colt, somewhat on the thin side, and not athletic, but not unhealthy either. When not in conversation, he's often between appearing reservedly attentive and observant, and having something of an absent minded, thoughtful look at him, as if he's contemplating something. When traveling he often carries on his back plain saddlebags.

    Coloration: Inkblot's coat is a dark blue, and his mane and tail are black.

    Race: Earth Pony
    Age: Colt
    Special Purpose: Observing and "helping" ponies to work through their issues, with mixed success... but it's the thought that counts, right?
    Cutie Mark: A peculiarly shaped inkblot, which somehow seems to remind the viewer of something different each time it's looked at, despite not actually changing in appearance... maybe a moth? Or a fox? Or a mask? Or two people? It's hard to say for sure (reminiscent of a Rorschach test, not that ponies would be too familiar with such).

    Name: Silverbolt
    Race: Pegasus
    Age: Colt
    Special Purpose: Stormcrafting
    Cutie Mark: Two silver lightning bolts
    Primary Attributes: Body 2 Mind 3 Heart 1
    Secondary Attributes: Health 3 Energy 5 Courage 4
    Talents: Smart, Tough
    Job: Student/apprentice weatherpony
    Skills: Math, Knowledge (Weather Magic), Research, Precision Lightning Strikes, Gaming, Mechanic
    Guiding Element of Harmony: Honesty

    Physical Description: A slightly overweight pegasus colt, with a deep midnight-blue coat, silver-streaked white mane and tail, and blue eyes that are typically behind a pair of black spectacles. Mane is typically pulled back into a ponytail.


    Biography: Born and raised in a small town near Fillydelphia, Silverbolt has always been fascinated by storms and the weather engineers who create them. As a foal, he dreamed of growing up to work at the prestigious Cloudsdale Weather Factory, and hoofcrafting beautiful lightning storms to wow everypony.

    But there was one obstacle standing in his way: Cloudsdale University. More specifically, its extremely popular (and, in Silver's view, over-coddled and over-privileged) hoofball team. Silverbolt had long been teased and bullied by more athletic pegasi because of his weight problem, nearsightedness, and his bookish nature; he had no desire to attend a school that put such a heavy emphasis on its sports program. So, instead, he did something completely unexpected: enrolled at the University of Canterlot. He found that he gets along better with most unicorns than most pegasi, and while the campus isn't really designed for somepony with wings, the classes are absolutely fascinating. He's particularly enjoyed learning about unicorn weather magic, feeling that knowing other ponies' ways of doing things can only help everypony in the long run.

    Silverbolt is in the same year as Midnight at U.C.

    Talents: Smart, Tough
    Job: Weather pony

    Guiding Element: Kindness
    Magic:

    Subjects: Air, Body

    Bio: Raindrop was born and raised in the suburbs outside Fillydelphia to a mixed Unicorn/Pegasus family. Raindrop had always been fascinated with the weather work that his dad did, so when Raindrop finally figured out that weather magic was his special talent, nopony was particularly surprised.

    After Raindrop learned the cloud-walk spell, he moved to Cloudsdale to study advanced weather magic and weather control. After Raindrop finished his schooling (because nopony wants to hear the boring details of his time at Cloudsdale U.), Raindrop joined a weather team in a small town outside of Manehattan. When he has free time from the weather team, he likes to watch the weather that occurs without any pony influence in the Everfree forest.

    And if it proves true, thoughts?
    I've been searching a (very) little and only found this article. Nothing about actively discouraging bronies, just that they aren't that big a consumer group. To give an example of the accuracy: "The group included four "Pegasisters," as the small minority of female bronies sometimes call themselves". I never heard of 'Pegasisters', and I think I know a bit about the fandom.

    Also there's the weird statement "the majority of adult viewers are still overwhelmingly female". Females watching a show for girls? That's crazy!
