Save Equestria from Darkness! | Dark Skies Over Equestria

Creating your character

We will handle character creation as part of our Session Zero. However, all My Little Pony Origins are open, including Earth Ponies, Pegasi, Unicorns, Young Dragons, and Griffons. Changelings can be used as well, but, given the story, may need some adjustment. Simple edits to existing Origins, e.g., Zebras, Batponies, and Hippogriffs are also available on a case-by-case basis. In any case, your character should be a resident of Ponyville, or at least a frequent visitor. Other details will be discussed in-session.

Preparing for the session

We will be using Discord for our voice chat. Please make sure you have an account all set up, and that you have a good internet connection to make conversation easy. We will be meeting using Foundry, which does not require a login.

What brokenimage321 brings to the table

As a player in my game, you can expect a lot of preparation on my end: high-quality maps, nifty sound effects, and lots of bells and whistles, visual and otherwise. I'm very proud of my Foundry setup, and I'm always tinkering with it to make it more interesting. I also love to surprise my players. Dark Skies Over Equestria has a lot of surprises already, but even so, you can still expect that most sessions will have something fun and exciting planned. You can also expect a welcoming environment. I do my best to make my games as simple and easy to participate in as possible, and to do everything I can to accommodate my players. I want to make sure everyone I play with is comfortable, and able to be who they want to be without having to worry about critique or judgment. Accordingly, my table is LGBTQIA+ friendly, and welcomes diversity. Bad behavior will not be tolerated. As part of my desire for comfort, I like to have flashy effects and ambient music going at all times, but, if these prove distracting or uncomfortable to you, let me know and we'll work it out.

Homebrew rules

We will be running the rules as written in the MLP core rulebook. Any homebrew that we end up using will be approved by the group beforehand.

How brokenimage321 creates a safe table

We will begin with the Monte Cook RPG Consent checklist. If there's something that we need to discuss, I will do so privately before the game starts. We will also have a "Session 0," during which, in addition to creating characters and teaching the rules, we will discuss and set our standards for content and safety. During the session, we will make use of the "X-Card," and, afterwards, we will use a feedback method like "Thorns and Roses" to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. If you have a problem at any time, please feel free to message me, and I will take care of it as soon as practical.
