I'll definitely take a look !! theres a lot of fanmade player handbooks for mlp themed campaigns. 

I've never played pathfinder though

There is indeed: it's !roll, and you can specify the type of die by adding something like d20 or 2d10 at the end ("!rolld20" and "!roll d20" both work the same I think, the latter adds an extra space in the printed message).

Just don't get too fancy with it, the feature doesn't handle penalties correctly and I suspect bonuses don't work right either (and don't add words to your rolls, they really mess with the results).

i didn't know text messed with the results !! it honestly didn't seem very random when i used it (i just attributed that to it being a machine). if that's a problem i suppose one person could roll irl and just. promise not to lie

How do you imagine doing it exactly? Just simply sitting around a table and have the DM (GM? I'm confused to how they're called now.....) sit at one end with their instructions and the others around the table so they can't see them and everything is imaginary?
Or actually going to places and make it like a roleplay that is narrated by somepony? The latter could be done using the environment we have, but then it wouldn't be real O&O anymore.

the most important part i think is having a basic narrative that's driven by creativity and probability (mostly so everypony isn't trying to be the 'main character' at once) and it's actually interesting for everypony involved to play. I figure one person would be in the room that's not a player character, and we could use the environment as a sort of map? This is more speculation than active planning of a campaign tho

Guess I'd better get around to buy those books and creating the .pdfs to distribute to less fortunate ponies then.


My thought would be yeah, you come up with a basic racial template for each of the races, create characters and submit the sheets here (or on a similar forum post, maybe in the RP section).  Then the rest would be 'theater' of the mind except with the ponies actually being able to go to the physical locations to stand around and RP the scene.


((In case it wasn't clear, I'd be willing to GM this.  Unless you planned to Spectral)).

i have some ideas for racial templates, plus there's a pretty sizable mlp "O&O" community to pull from.

and i haven't come up with any specific campaigns, nor would i be upset if someone else decided to test out this idea themselves to see how it goes

if we end up doing a "ghosthunting" or occult kind of campaign, i feel like i should play but i'd be more than happy to try out dm-ing something myself too!

It might take off and we can have cool adventure roleplays !!

I mean Tails of Equestria exists. https://riverhorse.eu/product-category/mlptails/

But I don't know if the rules are basic enough, as I still don't own it due to being too poor to justify buying it, i.o. to just read it. 

i remember hearing about that !! i also found  a very detailed set of dnd manuals from a fan on deviantart that i might consult.

my first train of thought was that i would have to create racial traits for pegasus, unicorn, and earth ponies, and maybe character sheets would be "submitted" to the dm somehow (probably through the forum?)

I only really started to think of it because of the !roll function, so i figured some form of probability-based roleplaying was at least possible if not encouraged.

I think "adventure" or dramatic roleplaying would be more fun with probability and organization, so there's an actual narrative to follow

I was thinking it wouldn't really have to be complicated wrt maps and things like that, it would be more "theatre or the mind" style.

I don't really have experience dm-ing though, just playing 

One of my current characters is a homebrew unicorn, so i could probably figure out what an mlp unicorn and other equines would be in comparison

Has anyone every tried to play a DnD-style roleplay in LoE?

If you have any experiences to share or tips on how you did it, I'd love to hear about them!

I was discussing this topic in a discord chat recently !! We thought that there was some basic spells that unicorns are expected to know, but unicorns have unique spells that match their talents.  

You mentioned rarity and shining armor, but there's also cadance's love spell, starlights cutie mark removal spell (?), and im assuming raising the sun and moon are unique to celestia and luna.  

Not sure if there's super solid canon base for this, but it was fun to talk about

I couldn't think of what twilight's "special spell" would be, but my take was she's just really good at copying spells or learning quickly.

Another sort of related thing: all unicorns seem like super speed-readers, so maybe speed-reading is another spell that unicorns have to learn!

Legends of Equestria Discussion / "Birthday Wishes"

2018 May 20, 00:31:24

Is anyone having trouble with the "Birthday Wishes" quest?  I'm able to initiate it and talk to Grassy Fields after for the second step, but if I try to talk to Wellington, I get a blank text box, and I can't advance the conversation with L'il Galoshes 

I just wanna give her a good birthday 

I didn't want to bug report if no one else was having the problem

row 4 has to be my favorite, 100% because of the "classical" unicorn designs (lion's tail, cloven hooves, etc) and i love the tail feathers and unique wing shapes on the pegasi.  row 4 and 6 are definitely the most appealing, and look like they would work best "in motion."

not sure why theyre keeping the same base characters but dramatically changing them tho    
I would just pick totally new ponies !!

You can totally tell which pony is which artists' favorite . 

Twilight sparkle is based off both a g1 unicorn and a g3 earth pony, but if theyre keeping the base traits as well as the characters im not sure why they would bother

ALSO WHERE IS AJ'S HAT !!!! I NEED ANSWERS
