My Little Pony Roleplaying Game | Great Cake Mistake - PoniesOnline Convention Event

About the adventure

🎠 Jump into a brand-new My Little Pony adventure with all-new characters! 🎂 Save Ponyville from catastrophic baked goods! 💎 Stop Flim and Flam in their tracks! A pair of traveling salesmen sucker Mrs. Cake into buying their brand new sweetener, but it makes all the ponies that eat it break out into polka-dots after 24 hours! Flim and Flam have done it again and the ponies have to find Zecora to help them find a cure for this spotty pony problem! In this game, you'll get an introduction to the Essence20 Roleplaying System! You'll get to be a citizen of Ponyville off to save the day from the trouble caused by those nefarious ne'er-do-wells! My GMing style is that I believe everypony at the table is allowed to have fun. I want to bring the fun of Essence20 and the joyfulness of My Little Pony to the table to be enjoyed by all. For me, a GM asking "Are you sure you want to do that?" isn't a warning or a threat; it's an invitation!

Additional Details

How to prepare

Players would be advised to have a mic available for use with Role, but text chat accommodations are allowed. Having read up on the Essence20 system or other d20-based games will help the players but isn't necessary. Characters will be ready for players to choose from at the start of the session. A free Role account will be necessary.

What I provide

I will bring enthusiasm and terrible impressions. Additionally, I bring with me a gaming community full of great weirdos. My Discord channel is full of fun people who love gaming in all its forms and fun conversations take place daily. We also run Community Events every month to bring new experiences to the table!

Gameplay details

This game is primarily focused on non-combat situations and solutions to problems, but still may contain fantasy violence. Characters can be "defeated", but no death occurs. Content warnings are in place as some uncomfortable content can take place even in the fantastical world of My Little Pony. The intent of these sessions is to jump into a fantasy world, have a fun adventure, and jump back out. To help facilitate this, safety tools are in place for all sessions. Players will have an opportunity to express Lines and Veils during a brief "chat period" at the start of the session, if they so choose. X, O, and N cards are available to all players, so any objectionable or potentially triggering content can be skipped past. Aftercare will also be made available to any players who need time post-game to regulate.

How will character creation work

Characters are pre-made by either the creators of the module being played, the creators of the system, or the GM. A brief "chat session" at the start of the session will include instructions on how to navigate their character sheets and the Role interface, and how to play using the Essence20 Roleplaying System.
