Jeric 46,852 January 13, 2021 Share January 13, 2021 Oh why hello darlings, why don't you come in and look around? As you can see, I have been hard at work creating the new accents and designs for the upcoming grand premier of some fantastic changes for the area of this place that puts on those adorable story driven plays .... Arr Pay Jee I believe Spikey Wikey calls them. Strange name if you ask me, but to each her own. Spike, Discord, and Big Mac seem hugely interested in the ability for ponies to be able to create custom characters that they can play as, so they came to me for inspiration and ideas. I'm not really a coder, but I do know a thing or two about managing a team to get something creative off the ground. So, pretty soon all the ponies here who love to dress up as somepony else will be able to do so in those areas of MLP Forums. Your old musty dusty database that just sat there on the shelf was barely any fun. Also, now I have an excuse to maybe break out some of my Shadow Spade collection.

raykv423 1,689 January 13, 2021 Share January 13, 2021 (edited) What about OCs, especially mine's? Do I get to RP as my OC in this or not? Or do I go OOC and be myself in this?

Silly Druid 7,026 January 13, 2021 Share January 13, 2021 This is a great idea! However, sometimes I need to play as multiple characters in one post, so I'm not sure how it will work... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Character is character. If you want to user your OC, absolutely. If you want to use an official cannon character, you can do that too. 1 minute ago, Califorum said: I'd gladly take Maud Pie or some of my OCs! What if Maud doesn’t wanna go?

The way I understand it as, its like profiles of characters you post as, but when you post as it has your name and the characters picture rather than that of your profile? Hmmmmm Somepony has been investigating hasn’t he? Either that or using his brain! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll lock the old sheets to new entries but keep them visible. The system has all the same fields so it’s a simple copy and paste job to carry over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Guide 21,360 January 13, 2021 Share January 13, 2021 I'm still a little confused by the original topic.
