"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." - Col 3:17

As expansive as the realm of Equestria and the known kingdoms surrounding it may be, the quest for exploration and discovery is unending! It is this very quest that has led Royal Expeditionary Ambassador Lean-To of his majesties' royal service to discover an unknown land - and the unique inhabitants living there.

NOTE: I'm calling this Complete. It started as a silly one-off thing anyway, and while I tried to see how it could continue, I don't have the inspiration or drive to move this story forward. Just a little AU headcanon idea. Thanks to those who enjoyed my drabbles. =)

Pretty interesting. I wonder how Celestia and Luna will react to this. Will you make a letter with them replying?

6242846 I might! I want to see if enough people are interested first. This was something I wrote a while back, so it was originally a stand-alone, but it could be fun to turn it into a conversation of letters.

6242864 I shall be waiting for the day the next letter arrives. :raritywink:

6242875 Well, your wish is my command; I got inspired and wrote up the next few letters. Let's see where this goes. =)

And what if they are not ponies who look like insects, but insects who appear as ponies?

Mind blown.

While in all honesty, my players are unlikely to use them, I would still like your permission to include these in my portfolio of racial options for my Equestrian Dungeons and Dragons games.

Hey sure! =D Lemme know if you do use them, I'd be very interested to know how it goes!

I will do my best!
Would you like stats to discuss, or do you only care if they see actual play?

11494265
Oh I'd enjoy seeing what stats you come up with ^^

A question for you:
... but first some background.
In the rules I have made, there is a bit of an in-joke about Ponies coming in two separate sizes, because almost all of them (at least in the early seasons) the have the same body shape excepting the facial structure differences between stallions and mares. Thus I have it so Ponies have a lot less variation in their heights than, say, humans. However Big MacIntosh was also in episode 1, so there is ALSO something you can get at character creation that makes you that size (also with only small height variations between those with that "feat").
How strongly, if at all, would you want this race to have the same option*, or should I just not give it to them?

*Might be tricky for me to figure out because they are supposed to be smaller than 'normal' Ponies, and half the advantage of spending the resource to get the "Not So Little Pony" aspect to ones your character is the increase from being mechanically "Medium" rather than "Small".

... I hope I explained that clearly. Please ask questions if I did not.

Hm, I think I get the basic idea. You could probably go ahead with that, although they'd never be as big as a regular pony. I think the queen equutaur is as big as you'd get and she would be about the size of a standard pony.

It actually works out to be much easier to forbid them the option, I apparently didn't manage to communicate that. From the way you are talking that would be fine?
