    I thought I'd make another RP, but this time I'm going to base it around the My Little Pony: Roleplaying is Magic (Season 1) system. (It uses a d20. Sorry, Eight Star.)

    And instead of going the Shadow Over Ponyville route, and being all scary and stuff, I thought I more or less stick to the tone and spirit of the show. Actual physical combat will be minimal, but there will still be thrills aplenty!

    Have the intro post:

    So... Who's up for it? I'd only be accepting six characters.

    Ooh, ooh! Choose me! I've been wanting to test out the MLP Roleplaying system! I also have a d20 and various other die for my tabletop RP sessions, so I'm used to pretty much every kind of system under the sun (d20, d10, d6, percentile die aka d100). The intro sounds interesting, and I love the term magitechnics.

    I've been itching to try this system, too. I'm only using Season 1 because Season 2 is 162 pages long and TL;DR. If anypony could tell me what, if any, updates they've made I'd appreciate it.

    :grin:

    Maybe I'll post a signup today. I have to hammer out a few more details, and lay it out in a way that makes sense without posting the entire manual.

    Hey Quill, could you take a look at my spell on the sign-up sheet? I have a question.

    Thanks!

    The spell you're looking for is "Create Force". Creating a solid energy from nothingness.

    Is Manipulate from Season 2? It's not mentioned in the Season 1 Rulebook (which is what I'm using).

    Oops. I meant animate.

    -blush-

    I will change it to create force now.

    So does that include, like, "Forzare" kind of magic? (Force Magic, like um...what is it called...I think Hadouken? That's what comes to mind anyhow.)

    The way I understand it, it's more like "Force Push" from Star Wars, rather than Hadoken of Kamehameha.

    Ah! I've caught a Wild Eight Star. Huzzah! I'll nickname him Sprinkles!

    Changed my mind, made a whole new character. :p

    I'm so indecisive.

    Alrighty. I'll check it out.

    Ah. You've created Gray Murphy (Read the Xanth series. They're great!). Cool!
