planning MLP FIM Dungeons and Dragons?

[twilight_sparkle 53]

Hello brony friends! I was hoping to start a new My Little Pony Dungeons and Dragons game, and I know some rules, but I need some help! First, I need a character sheet and someone tellling me what I need and how to roll for it. Then we need a DM and some players, then we can start! If anyone knows a great way to play this game, please post!

[twilight_sparkle 53]

Ok, buts what PnP? I never heard of that, so now I need a little description. But yeah, we can keep things simple!

[twilight_sparkle 53]

Sounds great, and now we need more people. Maybe we can keep it a little complex, so we don't get any noobs, but we can keep it simple.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

My brother was a big DnD guy. Heck, he had over 100 dice (including a 100-sided dice.) I'll participate if this works out.

[twilight_sparkle 53]

Ok, more people and a set of rules to follow, got any rules in mind other than no overpowered characters?

[Addem Up 246]

Which edition are we going to run? 3.5? 4.0? Since we want it simple, I think 4.0 would be better.

 

I can be whatever you need; a player, a DM, a mysterious gray-cloaked stranger who is by no means selling drugs...

[twilight_sparkle 53]

Idk, thats why I'm asking for halp! Whatever version is the best, so maybe 4.0, and could you post a link to that one, I played on 3.5 and not 4.0 yet.

[Heart's Desire 181]

I'm in! I LOVE pnp games too. I have the 4.0 handbook somewhere but it might be in storage. Anyone else have it or a link to it? Of course, I'm not opposed to other versions.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

I hate to burst your bubble, guys, but I'm already doing this. Have been since before thanksgiving.

Of course, I can't stand 4.0 so my group is doing 3.5, but still.

 

You guys have fun though.

[twilight_sparkle 53]

Well, I was thinking of a more dumbed down version, so I don't know about that. :\

Anyways, now we need just a DM so we can start. Also if you want more players.

Like I say, I can DM or play. Whatever we need.

 

Alex-Kennedy's version of 3.5 is rather fun as well.

[Heart's Desire 181]

Hey, the more groups the better. Nothing wrong with spreading the PnP love. I may write up some campaigns for future games too.

 

Okay, so things we need.

 

DM: Addem Up has volunteered and I assume has experience.

 

Campaign/Adventure: I guess whoever is DM will be writing this? I would be happy to do so, and just as happy to play someone else's.

 

World: Are we sticking with Equestria or something else?( I vote Equestria)

 

Races/Classes: Those from the show or DnD types? Or a mix?

 

Are we doing it through posts, chat, or *cringe* Skype? (I'm exceptionally shy so Skype might be hard for me at first, but I will do it if that's what everyone wants. I will warm up and be quite talkative once I get used to everyone.) Also I'm staying with my parents at the moment in a tiny trailer and sleeping on the couch, so, um, I don't want to keep them awake. (Wow, that makes me sound pathetic... for the record I'm in the process of moving, lol)

 

This may actually take some time to do. As Alex-Kennedy's thread proves, (it looks like you did a wonderful job, btw) it takes a lot of work to write up a campaign and ponify character sheets, but in my opinion that's all part of the fun!

 

Plus it gives more time for people to join.

 

So, input?

I'm very new to DnD myself, so don't worry! XD

I do learn fast, so maybe that won't be a problem, by the way, thanks for the player's handbook!

Sure, Addem Up can be the DM if that's ok with everyone else?

 

 

 

EDIT:

Also, I did find this site if we want to use this:

https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1PPyX9Bie69_NtO4qrLd3Ak3K02wflxIe5Lc9sgJIA64#h.y4nmxc44v8b4

 

Its just a website with different classes, spells, and is based upon ponies, so I think this might work, what do you think? Oh yeah, and Twilight Sparkle rocks! XD

Oh. Um. Well, to tell the truth, I haven't really DMed before, but it seems pretty straightforwards. I'm a rather creative person, so that helps, I guess. I'd stick to Equestria.

 

As for the actual gameplay, well, the doc you have looks good. 

 

Skype might be the best way to do this; that or rpgtonight. It's an online D&D site.

[twilight_sparkle 53]

Yeah, we should do either or. That way, we can help each other out creating characters and rolling dice and other stuff. I'm thinking a online chat room, or something like Skype would work, like what Addem said. Btw, if we do skype, I'm a guy and im only 15. (Yeah, I'm 15 and I like D&D, got a problem with that?!?! lol jk!)

[Heart's Desire 181]

rpgtonight looks like a great option. After some thought I realize I would not be able to do skype until sometime next month when I'm in my own place.

[Addem Up 246]

DMing is NOT easy XD

 

I've done some instances of it as a GM (which is Gamer Moderator/Master).  It's the same thing but it just sounds better for Fallout PnPs.  I can get a basic campaign going and I can DM if there's no one else with any more experience.

 

I've also got a very nice British accent, so I'm told, which is great for story telling and whatnot.  XD

 

I do have exams... but I'll have a looksy if you want

Well then, by all means, take the reins.

 

Frankly, I kinda wanted to play anyways. It's more fun.

 

As for RPGtonight, you do need to make an account, but it's free.

[twilight_sparkle 53]

So yeah, get stuff set up, make accounts, lets see if anyone else wants to join soon, so pick a date so that people can't join anymore and we can read the rules, make characters and stuff, and we'll be set!

[twilight_sparkle 53]

Fantastic! Now we need to integrate the ponies and the DnD and we got ourselves a game! Now we need a time and date to play... Any ideas??????

[twilight_sparkle 53]

That's the DM's job.

Anyways I have to go to track in a bit, so I won't be talking for a while, so i'll see you guys later!

(Lasts till 6 PM)

[Addem Up 246]

Riiiight....

 

The rules here are VERY watered down.  Basically there's hardly any structure to them because they effectively have to be 'made up'.  I'll work on some basics now.

We could always just attempt to ponify 4.0. I suppose it's your choice either way.

 

As for timezones, it's 4:13 here.

[Addem Up 246]

I've found some solidity in the rules... I'll open a trial game soon to test with anyone who wants a part in it.

Mmkay. I'm willing. Looking to be a warrior or a cleric, if that's okay with everypony else. Wouldn't want to mess anypony up.

[Addem Up 246]

I've just about made the character sheets.  Rules are VERY simple and refer a lot to DM and party judgement.  I'm making an example character now for you all   How nice!

 

Just make sure you are familiar with rules

All righty! Are you going to make an RPGtonight account for the people who can't use skype?

 

Also, what is everyone thinking character-wise?

 

Edit: Never mind, found it.

[twilight_sparkle 53]

Got out early, seems like we are agreeing on a few things. If you're talking about what I posted, yeah, it's REALLY watered down! I already tried playing with my friends, and I ended up making up around 80% of the game on the spot... It was hard. So yeah, I'll make an account as soon as i get on another computer (not the gay Chromebook given by the school)

Btw, if you got any friends interested in these kind of things, or if you have friends, lets try to get around 2-3 more ok? the more ponies the better!

 

 

 

Right, for time zone it's 5:41 PM here!

I'm working on getting an account set up now, just waiting for the account to be authorized. Also, I'm GMT -6.
