Because why not?

Discussion thread

I can't promise I'd be a fantastic DM (not making any time commitments here), but if I were, here's how things would go.

1. First we'd have to decide whether this is a slice of life or action/adventure RP. Mixes of both would be fine.

2. No contact with canon characters other than the ones that haven't been developed very well. I'd make an exception for Princess Celestia if it became relevant.

3. Characters/ cutie marks have to be DM approved. Earth ponies, pegasus ponies, and unicorn ponies need to have equal representation in the party. No sues, no sea ponies, blank flanks need strong justification. Characters can't do things they wouldn't do. It's acceptable for a character like Fluttershy to be pushed to the point where she gives a stern lecture to a misbehaving creature. She can't be pushed to the point where she rips the creature's throat out, at least not without some very sick shit changing the character. Which brings us to the next point-

4. No grimdarkness in any form. There's no way that fits with the world.

5. Sexual content would make this really weird. I would disallow it completely, but mammalian reproduction is canon in the show. I would suggest not making references to it at all.

6. No DM characters, just civilian NP Cs.

7. Plotlines should be mostly episodic. Equestria is a peaceful place, and there's no serious corruption.

8. Before I forget, nopony can fly as fast as Rainbow Dash or be as skilled in magic as Twilight without being a sue. Pinkie Pie powers are probably going to be broken if boundaries are not set beforehand. If there's high demand for one, it'd have to be a *sigh* DM character.

9. These are all just preliminary ideas, and can and should be disregarded if it makes everyone happier.

10. You are required to enjoy this if you participate. If you get butthurt over a pony RP, I will not let you live it down.

Might have missed something but there it is. Do what you want with it.

I guess we need to see who all is interested before anything starts.

Did you read my post? In case I didn't make it clear, I think it'd be optimal if the P Cs weren't canon characters.

Your opinion is valid though. This is all about FUN.

My point still stands. If everyone wants to RP as the main six- plus, say, Derpy- I'm not going to shut it down because I disagree with the choice.

Curiousity piqued. I'm in it at least long enough to see how it goes.

If we're using original characters, I'm probably going with the name Vanilla Bean for my pony.

Five P Cs should be enough for a decent RP, but I don't think it would hurt to leave the thread open for more.

I think it's safe to say there's enough interest for this to be viable, so I'll open a discussion thread, and you guys can start pitching ideas for characters, etc.

Okay, there it is.

Okay, so far that's nine players, and three of them have posted characters.

It's possible that I'm being unreasonably impatient, but this has been up for the better part of a week and the last sign-up post was four days ago, so I'm going to assume that the party isn't going to be much larger than this for a while at least. Of course, that's not to say new members aren't still welcome.

Vorpy and Rocky Zhao are the only ones who haven't made any posts except for the initial ones expressing their interest. Other players have already started working on characters, and while we don't have a set deadline and aren't too close to starting, I think it would be nice if we didn't keep people waiting for nothing. I'm going to send them a PM in a while to make sure they're still paying attention to the threads.

I could possibly join this? Maybe?

If possible, I'd like to be a one time villain who turns good at the end, perhaps? If that's not possible, then that's fine.

I've kind of always wanted to try one of these, I think I'll give it a go.
