I have trouble to understand who's supposed to be a main target auditory of ToE. I rather doubt that main auditory of MLP (you know, little girls) would play pen and paper RPG (although maybe I'm wrong here). At the same time, it's a liiiiittle too simple for bronies. For example ponies, all other races and monsters only have three stats - body, mind and charm. A pool of possible talents is small. Amount of available spells are minuscule (they are parts of talents). Bestiary is also small and

Recently, Hasbro released a licensed MLP RPG called "Tails of Equestria." I've played it, and it's interesting, but the sample adventure is... lackluster.

I ran a demo day for the RPG this past weekend, and I came up with my own custom scenario for said demo. I'm currently looking for an appropriate platform on which to "publish" it, but, for now, I wanted to put it out here.

So, I only recently discovered Tails of Equestria. On a whim, I decided to look up if there was a podcast based off it.

Turns out there is.

I know it's a bit early, but I went and started a group for the upcoming MLP Tabletop RPG scheduled to release this March. I'm not sure how many of you guys would be interested in joining, but here's a link anyway.

I've already blogged about what ToE is, so I won't go into too much detail about it here.
Here I want to tell you all about the fimfiction group I made for it. If you want the game, have the game, or anything in between, then you should join the group here: Link <-----

I just got Tails of Equestria!

As my dear "readers" (or rather waiters,,, sorry, I am working on stuff, I promise) may have noticed, I like RPGs. I even wrote an entire chapter as an RPG, for goodness sake! Now, the good people at "River Horse" (love the name already) managed to talk Hasbro into making an official MLP RPG called "Tails of Equestria".
I got the book today and I just finished it... here are my thoughts:

Its good! I mean it! It's really, really good.

Tails of Equestria!

In case you were wondering, yes it is a thing, and yes I do know folk at Riverhorse, but sadly no I do not know Alessio Calvatore, though I have had the pleasure of speaking with him at GW Games Day

So... something came in the mail today... Figured I'd share my thoughts. Spoiler alert: I WILL BE GOING OVER THE SYSTEM ITSELF, AS WELL AS THE PRESENTATION IN THE BOOK!

In my previous blog, I went over the Tails of Equestria RPG, its strengths and weaknesses. After doing some thinking, I've come up with a few... house rules that might help balance the system just a touch. Actually, let's call them horserules, just for pun.

So, good news: I reached the end of "Hoof and Sword" podcast, so I can give anyone interested a review, and what it think of it.
Bad news: I have to encourage anyone who has not listened to it yet to avoid doing so.

Oh hey, I still have a blog thing here.

In any case, my tabletop gaming crew ran a one-shot of the Tales of Equestria RPG over the weekend. Was fun! The intro kit adventure was ... kind of oddly designed, almost like a Choose Your Own Adventure thing instead of a 'traditional' RPG supplement. Though at the same time, the adventure is also basically a dungeon crawl, just without the typical murderhobo violence. Just goofy good times all around.

Meant to be used with the original ruleset, or the Essential version.

Description: An affinity with the sun and modulated breathing which allows the user to place energy into objects or heal damage. A character with this Talent can transfer any of their current Stamina to another character by touch, and can add any of their current Stamina to a successful roll.

Talent: Spin

This was done in 2019, but I just found it. So, thought I would share it with those here, in case others haven't seen it before.

A Critical Role one-shot with Tails of Equestria. At the request of Princess Twilight Sparkle, Countess Pi, Tomeytine, Trixie Gadgets, Peaches Silversong, and Whirlypoo, escort a unicorn stallion noble back to his homeland. Although, things may not be as simple as intended, as there is a bit of tribalism, and some very angry rock dogs about.

So I have Tails of Equestria, and the three major supplements: Tails of Equestria: Official Movie Storybook; The Bestiary of Equestria; and The Compendium of Equestria.

(Now I just need to find some people nearby to play).

I mention this for two reasons.

After waiting, and waiting AAAAAAAAAND waiting for someone I paid to colour in my drawing, I finally coloured it myself.

The Problem With Pets at last has it's proper cover, and I think it looks rather spiffy, if I do say so myself.

I hope you all like it. Cloudburst, Stonecutter and Sparkler look like three keen adventurers!

Will any attendees be hosting convention games based on the My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria game by River Horse? I’d love to play in a game where the player characters attempt to locate the cave where the magic of the Fire of Friendship incinerated the dangerous windigos and then the ponies came together to establish Equestria, as described in the episode “Hearth's Warming Eve”. That special cave is similar to Plymouth Rock, Valley Forge, and Independence Hall all rolled into one for United
