446204! Rawr! Have a good day, everypony!

@Artemis That is the best description of anxiety + depression this pony has ever read! You certainly have a gift for communication! Thanks a bunch for sharing all that. Talk about cool! =) Honor and fun, Summer Storm =)

It's Super-Boopin'-time so get your snoots ready! Just a couple of weeks ago, I came across these forums and Discord channel and... I am booping everyone who was kind enough to welcome me here to MLPF! I really, really like coming here! Thank you for having me aaaaaaaaand here's a *boop!* and some kind words for you! @Amtrak sw1 was the very first to come a' chuggin' along down the tracks! Keep on, keepin' on, Amtrak! @Mellow Mane was the first fellow cupcake to welcome me! But cupcakes come in different colors and now that we're on black-and-white MLPF, I can't tell which flavor Mellow is! @TheTaZe is not afraid to be himself. I like that! *And* he's not afraid to give a reading in Discord at the Golden Oaks Library! That was fun! @Sunset Rose has, to date, the cutest Twilight Sparkle avatar this pony haz evar seeeeeeeeeeeen! @Lord Valtasar was Valtasar on Discord, but Lord Valtasar here and soon got promoted to Lord Valtasar on Discord so they matched! Neeeeat. =) @Artemis has the best description of what it's like to have (and beat) anxiety and depression! I have neither and I deeply enjoy relating a little to other people. Go Artemis! @Iam gets an extra boop for the private message conversations and warmth! The world can always use more decent people being, well, decent to each other and Iam is just terrific at making a pony feel welcome! @R von Lohengramm (weren't you Error 404?) likes smileys! =) I like giving smileys because happiness is worth it! So here, have another one! =) @Supreme Leader Rarity gave me a warm welcome too and with a name like that, it makes me wonder if there are other Supreme Leaders (like Supreme Leader Rainbow Dash and... Supreme Leader Apple Jack and... Supreme Leader, er, Fluttershy?)? @Dark Horse gets a boop because he added an awesome gif to my welcome page. Cider for everypony! 8D @darkwingmare had some warm words to share and they made me feel good and welcome! =) @Rixton was the first pony with an avatar that had glasses I'd ever seen and they make his avatar look pretty stylin'! =) @~C. Discord~ gave me a welcome too, but having watched Season One, I knew to be wary of him (still expecting some Chocolate Rain here to prove you're the real thing!), but... he did give us a pretty handy Resource Map and he's into plushies, so what's not to like? =) @Totally Spicy BronyNumber 2A gets kickin' props for being a long-time fellow Dungeons and Dragons fan! Roleplaying is a special realm all on its own and Totally *totally* gets that! Woo! :insert bro-hoof here!: @Rikifive came in on the second page of welcomes and there at the bottom of Rikifive's signature is this beautiful gif of Twilight Sparkle just doing her thing! Rikifive's signature is full of win! And what a warm welcome! =) (to be continued!) @RainbowDashPrincess was nice enough to send me a nice welcome too! So, everypony? *sings chorus* "Have Yourself A Nice Day!" (see spoiler) Honor and fun, Summer Storm =)

That's wonderful, @Artemis! I love it! Sounds like they found the right dosage, too! Hooray for our Artemis! 8D

I totally agree, Quinch! You said it! =)

You're welcome! That's what I figured you were doing. It can be almost as fun to create something good as to play it (that's always best)! =)

Heya @DivineLuna1000! Incoming brainstorm! Get your umbrellas already!! 8D But first... a little dreamy instrumental music to 'storm to... There we go. Now.... What role do the PCs (Player-Characters) play? How many PCs do you want? What is their motivation to be in this story? What can they learn? Who is the pony in distress? Do they have something the thugs want? If so, what? Does this pony know the bullies or are they strangers? Who are the thugs and why are they trying to hurt the pony? Is it more than just them being bullies? Where, specifically, does this take place and when (not just time of day or night, but time of year - is it snowy? Rainy? Clear?)? Why is Luna involved at all? Does she know the pony or the thugs or the PCs? All of them? None? Do you have a gaming system you want to use (like Tails of Equestria) or something else? Or are you going freeform (no dice)? What can you add to the game to assist with its immersion and story? I guess I'll stop there. Hope this helps! Games, after all, should be fun! Honor and fun, Summer Storm

@CHA0SXIII Heya Cha0sXIII! Good to see you in here! 8D Heya everypony! Hope you are all having good days! @Artemis Good going! How did you beat your anxiety? Did you face the source of the issues head-on? Meditation? Oh, I know! A potion from Zecora!! Really, what did you do if you don't mind my asking? Since it worked for you, I'm hoping your solution might help the next person I run into who's struggling.

Guten nacht, @DasCapschen! Sweet dreams! Oh! 445738! Who's next?!

Whoa! There's more! MOOOOOAR! Thanks, @shyabetes3939! 8D Oh! And before I forget again - 445639!!

445637 How do you do that? Oh! How cool! That's kinda fun! !! Ha ha! =) Honor and fun, Summer Storm =)

4/10 - While I like the instruments and the overall sound, I'm just not into anything they are doing lyrically. But, I'm glad Frank Zappa fans enjoy it! I'm in an excitable jammin' mood... So Let's Jam! Rawr! =)

And then we'll write and tell new stories! Raaaawr! Congratulations, everypony! I had the fine opportunity to hear Quinch and TheTaZe during their readings. Both readings were time well spent! Plus, ponies have been pretty friendly about warning me (new pony to MLP) to spoilers and the like. Thanks a bunch - that's nice of you! =) Honor and fun, Summer Storm =)

Whoa! This is neat! Heya Swirly! I saw this on your original post... ...and I'd like to ask - how does it feel, 48 pages later, to still be getting questions? I mean, people must find you to be pretty interesting, right? =) Honor and fun, Summer Storm =)

445507! Rawr! =)

I play them all because, most often, I'm the Dungeon Master! I guess I really don't have a favorite, but I really like watching folks play who do. Those kinds of PCs (Player Characters) tend to be the most excited to play their characters. For me, that has always been fun to be a part of. =) Honor and fun, Summer Storm =) Oh! I almost forgot! @Totally Spicy BronyNumber 2A The level limitations for non-humans is no longer a thing (they took that out at D&D 3.0 back around the turn of the century). @Methuselah 5th Edition is easy to learn, but somewhat limited in scope. Pathfinder 1.0 is a little less easy to learn, but has more options and deeper characterization in the long run. Pathfinder 2.0 Playtest (currently free on pdf) is, in my mind, a mix of both! My current group is getting ready to give it a shot once I have everything readied-up. =)

@Feather Spiral You're right! It does! I hadn't noticed! Ha ha! =)

445336! Wheeee! =)

@Feather Spiral Your entire post is amazing! I love it! Thanks for taking the time and sharing! =) Honor and fun, Summer Storm =)
