>Dragon kingdom has captured agent Sweetie Drops on a secret mission, and the party is sent to rescue her, as well as finish her mission if possible.

>The mission is secret, so the party has no support from the Equestrian government.

>Twilight gets her Starswirl The Bearded cosplay, puts on her robe and wizard hat.

>Sunburst tries to find a map about the dragon culture, but since so little is known about them the map shows only rocky barrens.

>Tree Hugger packs two saddlebags of pure hash.

>Twilight asks Spike to join them, but he awkwardly refuses for undisclosed reasons.

>Sunburst gets train tickets to the border and the party boards the Friendship Express.

>During the trip, Tree Hugger rolls a joint but notices she forgot the lighter. So, instead she just eats a good piece of hash and drifts off as she gets attuned to the secrets of ancient assassins.

>Sunburst tries to read about dragons from a pamphlet in the train car, doesn't learn anything new.

>Twilight tells the train driver they're on a mission to kill dragons and asks him to speed up.

>Train driver doesn't do it, but instead alerts the authorities about a terrorist in the train.

>Train arrives to the last station before the dragon kingdom. There are royal guards waiting for them.

>"Okay everypony, come out with your hooves up! Err, just come out, okay."

>Sunburst was never connected with the terrorist suspect, bluffs his way past the guards.

>Twilight gets arrested and temporarily stored in the drunk tank to wait for a prisoner transport.

>Treehugger grabs her saddlebags full of contraband, and with the skills of a master assassin parkours to the roof of the car and sneaks past the cars into the woods.

>Twilight teleports away from the prison, straight in front of the royal guards panicking over how they could have overlooked an obvious escape route like that.

>The party crosses the border and manages to find the cave of dragon lord Ember.

>They ask about the prisoner, and Ember tells them she caught her trying to steal something from her royal hoard.

>The party asks to talk with the prisoner, and Ember promises to let them see her in the nearby cave.

>The party enters the cave, with two dragons guarding the end of the cell.

>They end up annoying the guards until one of them casually breathes fire on Sunburst, setting his cape on fire.

>Sunburst tries to throw the burning cape onto one of the dragons, but misses.

>As the dragons drive the ponies out, Treehugger throws a block of hash onto the burning cloak.

>Twilight teleports into the cell, tells Sweetie Drops to play dead with her.

>The dragons return to the cave, noticing that there's strange smoke making them lightheaded, and see two seemingly dead ponies in the cell.

>They don't care how Twilight ended up there, as they panic over the apparent poison gas and run away.

>The party sneaks Sweetie Drops out, and she asks if they could still finish her mission.

>Spike had sent her here on a secret mission to steal Embers panties.

>The party tells her that dragons don't wear panties and the ponies head back home.

>At home they tell the news about dragon panties to Spike, who is understandably embarrassed and saddened.

>Twilight buys him an ice cream and he cheers up again. The End.

>>362106

>Berry Punch has been found comatose on the floor of her house, and the party is asked to investigate.

>Applejack checks the area for suspicious hoofprints, finds nothing out of the ordinary.

>Pinkie Pie feeds Berry Punch some of her party drugs, managing to revive her for questioning.

>Berry Punch tells that she passed out while drinking, which was odd because usually it took at least a full barrel to take her down.

>Sunburst checks the wine, finds it to contain an unidentified ingredient.

>Mayor Mare tries to order the royal guards to help us with the investigation. Guards tell us she has no authority over them

>I don't remember exactly what happened, but to gain Berry Punch's favor the party beat up the guards and Applejack tried to hang them before Berry stopped her and told that it had been a just figure of speech.

>Pinkie Pie still proceeds to fill her party cannon with nails and fire it point blank in the tied up guards faces. The cannon gets jammed and explodes instead.

>Mayor Mare uses some of Berry Punch's liquors to make a saddlebag full of molotov coctails.

>Sunburst finds that there was a strange vine growing from the woods into the vineyard.

>Further investigation reveals the vine had been carefully cultivated by four zebras who swiftly attack the party.

>The party beats three of the zebras and the last one runs away.

>Mayor Mare immediately concludes that this was all Zecora's doing, runs off to her hut.

>Applejack runs after her, while the rest of the party stays with Berry Punch to continue investigation there.

>Applejack and Mayor Mare arrive at Zecoras hut, and there's a lot of commotion going on inside it.

>There are a dozen zebras trashing her hut while Zecora chases them around, calling them south-zebrican scum.

>Mayor Mare immediately pulls out a molotov coctail to burn down the whole hut.

>Applejack stops her, makes Mayor Mare drop the bottle.

>Mayor pulls out a new molotov and lights it. Applejack gives up trying to stop her but the Mayor fumbles on her own and manages to set her whole saddlebag on fire.

>Applejack decides to go along with the mass-extinction plan, wraps a rope around the hut to keep the door and windows shut. The door opens inwards.

>Mayor Mare lights a stick using the burning bag of molotovs and throws it in. The stick lands in a pot and does nothing.

>Applejack throws a lasso over the rope going across the doorway to pull the door shut. She catches the doorknob and yanks, pulling it straight off the door.

>At this point, Pinkie Pie and Sunburst decides to head to Zecoras hut too, in the woods Sunburst runs straight into the escaped zebra and impales his throat with his horn.

>Pinkie Pie reaches the hut and sees Zecora near the doorway. She grabs her from behind and suplexes her out over the rope.

>Mayor Mare throws more burning sticks into the hut, manages to start a fire and keep the zebras from escaping using a burning branch.

>At this point, applejack tries to "summon appul". The player throws five critical successes. Applejacks eyes glow and she starts to levitate. A huge, swirling portal opens in the sky and the bottom of a colossal apple starts falling through it. The giant apple smashes the hut with all the zebras in it, while Zecora and the ponies can only look at it with mouths agape. Best. Ending. Ever.

I started off with Simple d6, and later upgraded to Tails of Equestria. No experience of the other systems, but ToE works well in the kind of freeform games my group likes to play.

>>362106

>Someone's been setting traps in the old Castle of Two Sisters, and the party is sent to investigate.

>The party heads off, but on the way there get attacked by a timber wolf.

>Braeburn tries to seduce the worlf, gets bitten in the ass.

>Bulk Biceps rushes the wolf, misses and stumbles into a ditch.

>Sunburst looks around, spots a small cave the ponies could hide in.

>Braeburn tries to seduce the wolf again, gets mauled near death.

>Everyone else runs into the cave, find Whoa Nelly stuck in the rear entrance of the cave.

>Ponies push her loose and together gang up on the timberwolf. This being my first game in ToE I didn't think they could just kill it, but they did pull it off anyway.

>Party loots some sticks out of CRPG habit rather than needing them.

>Party reaches the castle, finds the drawbridge lifted and moat full of alligators keeping them out.

>Whoa Nelly tries drinking the moat dry. After a few dozen liters gives up with no visible progress made.

>Bulk Biceps pours some curd into the moat on the opposite side of the drawbridge, luring the alligators there.

>Braeburn tries to swim across the moat. Does so successfully but is against a vertical wall on the opposite side and has to swim back.

>Sunburst builds a makeshift bridge and the party gets up to the still closed drawbridge blocking the passage.

>Bulk Biceps tears the bottom hinge off, creating enough of a gap for ponies to squeeze in.

>Inside of the castle is a mess. The throne room has been barricaded off with furniture, while the doors to library and kitchen are still passable.

>Bulk Biceps tries to put the rest of his curd into a refridgerator, ends up shoving it into a dumbwaiter that promptly gives out and falls into the cellar.

>Sunburst checks the library for clues, finds that while no books have been disturbed but all the statues and tapestries have had the gems torn out of them.

>Bulk Biceps looks down the dumbwaiter, sees torchlight shining in the room below.

>The party manages to find a way to the cellar through stairs leading to a hallway with three doors.

>Bulk Biceps heads through the door to the right, finds a kitchen with his curd splattered on the floor.

>Braeburn uses the curd to style his mane. It looks questionable.

>Whoa Nelly listens through the closed door, hears diamond dogs inside.

>Sunburst tries to open the door, but it's locked and he just manages to make noise alerting the dogs inside.

>Whoa Nelly tries to eat the door. It doesn't work.

>Sunburst keeps talking to the dogs while Braeburn tries to enter the room through the last door. It's locked too.

>Whoa Nelly tries eating that door too. It doesn't work either.

>Negotiations aren't going well, the diamond dogs have started digging an escape tunnel from the room.

>Whoa Nelly presses her butt against the keyhole and tries to gas the dogs inside. The keyhole was jammed, she ends up filling the corridor with gas instead.

>Ponies retreat to the kitchen, Braeburn tries to light the methane.

>Methane explosion doesn't manage to break either of the doors, but chars Braeburn's mane and face instead.

>Ponies threaten to call in Rarity, manage to convince dogs that they'll have free passage out as long as they leave their loot behind.

>Dogs carefully open the door and start making their way towards the staircase. Party betrays them immediately.

>Around this point the game takes a turn to the macabre.

>Braeburn grabs a curtain rod and flings it straight at the back of a dogs head. The dog is knocked out and faceplants motionless against the stone floor.

>Bulk Biceps tries to bodyslam another dog, mid-leap hits his head on a ceiling support and falls down.

>Sunburst gets ahead of the dogs and blocks the stairs while managing to tie down one dog down with a hanging tapestry.

>Whoa Nelly walks to the unconscious dog and starts eating it alive. The remaining dog stares in shock.

>Braeburn joins Whoa Nelly, starts raping the dog while looking the remaining dog in the eyes and yelling "Looks like this one was a faggot all along!"

>The last dog throws up and flees into the kitchen.

>Bulk Biceps follows and leaps after him. He misses, as the dog is lying on the floor curled in a foetal position and whimpering.

>Ponies tie him up with no resistance.

Mystery solved with one dog dead, one captured, and one in therapy for the rest of his life.

Mrs. Cake discretely contacts the party for their help, explaining that somehow there were some of Applejacks baked bads left in their storeroom, and now they've been accidentally sent to a Donut Joe's cafeteria. In addition to being a health hazard this would also be bad for the bakeries reputation, so she asks the party to retrieve the spoiled cupcakes without letting anyone know about them. Somehow, the party in question happened to consist of Sunburst, Gustav Le Grand and The Smooze.

>Gustav sees this as an opportunity to get rid of competition, instead of helping the Cakes he runs out and shouts about how the Cakes are selling spoiled goods.

>The ponies don't believe the foreign griffon talking shit about their old reliable local bakery.

>The Smooze barely understood the concept of "destroy cupcakes" and tries to devour the insides of the Cakes shop, but turns out something can stop the Smooze - Mrs. Cake, who ushers the green blob outside and re-explains the goal for it.

>Sunburst tries to find books about summoning demons, but Celestia has obviously omitted dark magic books from Twilight's library.

>Gustav rallies ponies to rise up against the Cakes monopoly and start their own bakery. His fiery speech does indeed manage to stir the hearts of a handful of ponies who take the idea and run with it.

>Smooze manages to break the physics of the game, and launches itself to Canterlot.

>Sunburst asks Glimmer to teleport her to Donut Joe's shop. She's delighted to see him again, but despite the disappointment of not getting to hang out teleports Sunburst to Donut Joes storage room just as the Smooze hits the exterior wall with a wet splat.

>In Ponyville, Gustav checks on the aspiring new baker ponies, finds that despite their initial enthusiasm none of them actually know how anything about baking. Gustav teaches them, and they manage to kick of a pretty successful little bakery based entirely on nut-based pastries.

>Sunburst lets Smooze in the donut shop, and Smooze devours everything inside. Baked bads are gone along with all other foodstuffs, so the quest is completed.

>But wait! The word on the street is that a previously esteemed three-hoof-restaurant has been making ponies sick!

>Sunburst pretends to be a health inspector and checks the place out. The storeroom is accessible only through the front of the shop, which is constantly in view by the staff, and no one has seen anypony suspicious entering or leaving. There is a disgusting cupcake made of mashed up insects though.

>After emptying Donut Joe's pantry, Smooze has been tracking the second sweetest scent in all of Canterlot - Celestia's horse pussy.

>The Smooze rolls into the castle, but is stopped by the guards outside Celestia's chamber. Smooze spits out his old Grand Galloping Gala invitation, and as the already incompetent guards don't want to touch the slimy thing they decide to just let the Smooze in.

>Inside the room, Celestia is eating cake and cupcakes, with one baked bad among her awaiting delicacies.

>The Smooze leaps over the table to tackle Celestia down, causing her to barf out a burst of scroll sending flame, which the Smooze uses to quickly send the baked bad to the current leader of Griffonia.

>Using a combination of bubbling, blurbling and wobbling, Smooze manages to tell Celestia about the baked bads sneaked into Equestrian bakeries, and Celestia issues a warning to all the bakeries to be vigilant.

>The Smooze then eats the rest of the foods on Celestia's table, but even though Smooze brought in some vital information, this was a transgression that made Celestia throw it out of the castle.

>Smooze then roamed the castle garden, where Discord had been once again imprisoned for some. Smooze broke him out, and Discord promised him one wish, because hey, it's a cliche that genies do in these situations.

>Smooze wished for Discord to follow him. Discord questioned if he'd rather have world domination or something, but whatever, he made a promise so from on he'd follow the Smooze with a constant annoyed glare.

The leader of Griffons is delighted about the gift of Equestrian cuisine, but gets sick and falls into coma. His second in command declared that listening to ponies and their friendship mumbo-jumbo was a mistake, and the Griffon nation crumbles back into its jewish ways.

Here's a recent adventure I ran:

>The party, consisting of Rumble, Sunburst and Shining Armor, receive an anonymous tip about a bomb in an airship about to leave Canterlot.

>They have just managed to leap in the ship before it leaves the harbor, and have to defuse the bomb and save the passengers.

>They start off finding a stewardess and asking her to turn the ship back. She tells that only the ships captain can do it.

>They ask her to get the captain then. She heads off for a while, before trotting back, hysterically telling them that she can't find the captain and the whole command bridge has been destroyed.

>Sunburst heads up to inspect the bridge, but can only deduce that it's been torn apart by brute force.

>Rumble tries to think of possible places for the bomb, and deduces that the cargo hold is the most likely one. Unfortunately the cargo hold is locked, and the captain was the only one with the key.

>Since the situation is too dire to be kept a secret anymore, Shining Armor drafts the pegasus passengers to fly around the ship and check for anything out of place. They quickly discover that there's a gaping hole at the bottom of the ship.

>Rumble flies in through the hole, discovers the bomb stuck in the wall inside a glob of bugbear honey, and unlocks the cargo bay door from the inside.

>The ponies need to get to the bomb, and Sunburst decides to look for parts to build a flamethrower out of.

>Nevermind how stupid idea setting a bomb on fire at the hold of a wooden ship would have been in the first place, Sunburst rolls a critical failure at constructing the flamethrower.

>He finds an hydrogen gas canister, but as soon as he yanks it off its holster, the bow of the ship starts going down. The party now has five turns before the ship hits the ground.

>Rumble now considers Sunburst the worst threat to the ship and tries to throw him overboard. The athletic foal and nerdy stallion are evenly matched and the scuffle devolves into girly flailing.

>Sunburst insults Rumble, saying "Your mother is a mule and your father is a donkey!". This critical success absolutely devastates Rumble, who will never talk again without seeing a therapist.

>Shining Armor finds barrels upon barrels of wine from the ship, and uses his magic to turn it into a foam padding around the bottom of the ship. It will help a little, but not enough yet.

>Rumble holds back tears as he starts digging at the honey with all his fury, only managing to get himself stuck in it.

>Shining Armor tells the pegasi to fly under the ship and lift it. The pegasi consider their chances about flying under a falling airship covered in foam, and instead fly away into safety.

>Sunburst finds a mooring hook, shoves it behind the bomb and tries to lever it off the wall, but only manages to dangerously bend the bombs casing.

>Rumble tries to eat his way to the bomb, but gets sick of it before making much progress.

>Shining Armor tries to create a half-spherical shield to project the energy of the explosion downwards, but it turns out to be impossible. He also tries to at least create a shield bubble around the bomb, but he cannot create a shield without being inside it.

>Rumble strugges against the honey and finally manages to rip himself free, leaving behind a pony-shaped hole to the bomb.

>The time is up and the ship is about to hit the ground. This is the last turn of the last player, and Rumble uses it to grab the bomb and jump off the ship. He yanks it off the wall and falls through the hole, getting halfway between the ground and the ship before it detonates. The force of the blast is absorbed by the layer of foam, and while the ship still hits the ground hard, it's slow enough that everypony onboard survives the crash.

With the passengers saved, the parties mission is completed. Rumble is enshrined as an selfless hero, and no one ever talks about how Sunburst drove the foal to suicide.

It was niggling at the back of my mind, but I remembered I still have the Poor Unfortunate Foals PDF from back... Whenever this was.

Never thought of trying to play it, but there y'go.

>Rarity wishes to design a new fashion line based on the rowdy and dangerous underground scene, and since the party consists of the rowdiest ponies she knows she hires them to be her guides/bodyguards/entourage to the seedy underbelly of Equestria.

>Sunburst starts by thinking who were the biggest badasses during his school days, and suggests that they should go hang out behind a school where young colts smoke bubble pipes.

>Disco Fever visits the Sugarcube Corner, but it is decidedly too nice for what Rarity is looking for.

>Fluttershy has always stayed away from scary places and has no ideas, so without better ideas the party heads out to Canterlot to hang out behind Sunburst's old magic school.

>To fit in with the delinguents, Sunburts gets himself a black leather jacket and Fluttershy puts on the goth dress she used while running the Canterlot Boutique.

>Sunburst smoothly integrates into the crowd of young foals, managing to fit in without raising questions despite his age and beard.

>Disco Fever joins in too casually asking for a smoke, but his sheer bulk and attire alert the little colts. "What are you, a teacher?"

>Fluttershy goes with the situation and pulls out her Friendship School teacher's license, telling the colts that she is a teacher, and she'll get them in trouble unless they help her find a badass party.

>The little colts lose their cool and tells her about a lemonade disco where someone is selling alcohol to underage foals, so the party heads there next.

>The party arrives to the little foals disco, and Disco Fever asks around where to get alcohol. The foals either don't know or pretend not to know it.

>Fluttershy pulls out her teacher's license again, but this time it sends the little foals scampering out through hidden exits.

>A big, burly bartender walks out from behind his desk and tells her that this is Canterlot territory and she has no business meddling here.

At this point Fluttershy's player said "I release my inner demons on him" and threw two sixes on d10. Out of curiosity I asked him to throw one more d10, which came out as the third six. For the purpose of releasing demons I couldn't have thought of a more critical success.

>Fluttershy uses The Stare, freezing the bartender in his tracks. The lights go out as Fluttershy talks him down, the stallion's skin turning to dust and soul evaporating through his eyeballs. When Fluttershy is done, there's nothing left of him but a leather vest in a pile of ash, and from the last visions passing through his eyes before death she managed to see his fond memories about a rowdy biker bar on the outskirts of the the city.

>Disco Fever attempts to loot the bartenders jacket, but it too crumbles to dust as he tries to pick it up.

>Fluttershy rips her goth dress into a short black miniskirt to better fit in in their next location, and the party heads to the bar.

>The bar is the first truly dangerous place they've been in. There are shiny two-wheeled wagons parked outside, and there's already a fight going on somewhere at the back of the bar.

>Sunburts sits on a barstool and asks for a drink. The bartender doesn't ask for details and pours him a beer.

>Disco Fever asks for a line. The bartender looks at him suspiciously, but without saying a word pulls out a mirror and sets Disco Fever a line of cocaine. Disco Fever gets a huge stat boost for a while.

>Fluttershy is getting really scared and asks Rarity if she's had enough inspiration yet. She has been paying close attention to the clothes the patrons wear, and agrees that this has been enough.

The party gets their reward and Rarity can get to work designing her new line of clothes. The End.

I stumbled into the Roan RPG yesterday, which is apparently a pony-based RPG system set during WWI and WWII and intended to facilitate pulp adventures. I don't have the PDF (because who would), but apparently the digital version launched in 2016 and there'll be a Kickstarter campaign later this year.

Honestly, I'm still kind of shocked this exists. Has anyone actually played it?

Handhoofs.

Under each hoof is a set of opposable digits.

Handhoofs.

Pic related.

>>390757

>How would they even hold a weapon?

But can I fuck human Fluttershy then headpat her?

This was a strange game with a strange idea, but turned out way better than expected. Here's what I can still remember about it:

>Moondancer, Babs Seed and a manticore wake up in a bed with purple silk sheets.

>Babs gets up.

>Manticore sees a purple pony in a mirror, tries to lick it.

>Moondancer wants to stay in bed, but finds herself already staring at a mirror with Twilight Sparkle looking back. The party realizes that somehow they're all in the body of Twilight Sparkle.

>Babs tries to open a door with magic, but can't do it.

>Moondancer tries to find Twilight's diary to see what she's been up to. The latest entry is about Twilight looking forward to Moondancer's party tomorrow.

>Moondancer presumes this was Twilight trying out some kind of new spell and yells: "Spike! What have I been doing recently?"

>Spike doesn't know.

>Manticore tries to eat Spike, Spike is flattered and confused by Twilight licking him.

>Babs insults Spike, who is mildly insulted but doesn't really care.

>The party notices that they are currently in Canterlot Castle, Twilight is an unicorn, and this is taking place back before Twilight first came to Ponyville.

>Moondancer sees the opportunity and tells Spike they're going to Moondancer's party, and bringing glorious gifts with them.

>Babs just insults Spike any chance she gets.

>The manticore doesn't have any idea what's going on.

>Finally Twilight and Spike get out of the castle to go to Moondancer's party, meeting Twilight's old Canterlot friends on the way.

>Moondancer tells them that this party is the most important thing ever, and they'll have to stop the return of Nightmare Moon after that.

>This is something Twilight wouldn't have known yet because she hadn't read the book about Nightmare Moon yet. The party is filled with ominous feeling that something has just changed as a result.

>Twilight arrives to Moondancer's party. Babs tries to immediately murder her and stabs her with Twilight's horn.

>As the horn scratches the past Moondancer's cheek, Twilight fliches in pain as the same wound appears on her face.

>As the only one in Twilight's body who can use magic, Moondancer tells her past self that she'll always love her but is not okay now, and teleports back to the castle.

>I don't remember what exactly happened next, but Twilight ended up killing some guards and traumatizing Blueblood, until Celestia herself stopped her and demanded an explanation.

>Moondancer explained that she, a psychotic child and a wild animal were trapped inside Twilight's body, and Celestia believed her although she found it odd that this must have been the first case of unwilling posession ever.

>Twilight got chained into a dungeon. Manticore tried to communicate with her but came out as pervy, and Celestia turned to leave because she didn't want to see her own student acting like that. Besides, she'd have to deal with her later because Nightmare Moon had just returned and she'd have to go fight her.

>Moondancer tried to yell that they'd need the elements of harmony for that, and that the elements could be found from the old Castle of Two Sisters in Everfree Forest, but she was already gone. A guard wondered how she knew something like that, but he was just a lowlevel grunt doing his job and didn't do anything about it.

>Eventually Nightmare Moon was victorious, and came down to the dungeons to laugh at Twilight. "The princesses own protege, trapped here as a madpony? How pathetic!"

>Babs immediately swore allegiance to Nightmare, who didn't believe her.

>Moondancer lied that betraying Celestia was precisely why she imprisoned her here in the first place. Nightmare Moon wasn't entirely convinced, but since she was so certain of her victory she decided to take Twilight with her to Ponyville's Summer Sun Celebration to show off at her grand reveal.

>>402478

>At the Celebration, Nightmare gave her usual speech, got attacked by the guards and swiftly dealt with them.

>Babs tried to suck up to her but failed. Disgusted Nightmare Moon told her to get lost.

>Moondancer apologized profusely and backed away, using this as a chance to sneak away while Nightmare Moon left for other business.

>Manticore tried to get out of the crowded town hall, but Rainbow Dash tackled her down. She had just seen Twilight for the first time, arriving with Nightmare Moon herself and groveling for her, so she had a good reason to consider her an enemy.

>Moondancer took a deep breath and blarted out the whole story of their situation, about the elements, and how the mane6 were going to become best friends on the way to find them. She put all her hopes on Pinkie Pie being there to pick it all up because she was the only one who'd have time to absorb such an outlandish story in such a short amount of time, and luckily the pink pony was there to explain the situation to the rest of the ponies.

>And so, the newly formed mane6 headed out into Everfree Forest.

>The ponies get caught in a landslide, but Twilight manages to stop before the edge of a cliff and isn't in any danger.

>Knowing the story of how the ponies became friends, Moondancer simply steps over the edge. "Oh noo... Applejack, save me!"

>Applejack, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash weren't where they were supposed to be, and Twilight tumbles down the cliff. She's bruised, but can still proceed.

>Next up, the ponies come face to face with an angry manticore.

>The manticore in Twilight's body tries to greet him, but with pony vocal cords its roars come out wrong. The manticore they were facing is engraged, smacks Fluttershy out of its way and yells "What did you say about my mother?!" as it swipes at Twilight. Twilight loses an eye and blacks out, and by the time she wakes up the angry manticore is gone.

>After the manticore incident the ponies come across some spooky looking trees.

>Moondancer nudges Pinkie and says "It would sure be nice to have someone around who'd just giggle at the ghosties, eh?"

>Pinkie isn't feeling too happy with how the trip has been going, and bitterly points out the trees aren't that scary. Nothing bad happens, but the mood is low.

>Arriving at the river, the ponies find Steven Magnet crying about his ruined moustache.

>Babs leaps into action, yanking off one of Steven's scales and cutting off the other half of his moustache. Whether it was an improvement is unclear because Steven Magnet quickly fled in absolute terror.

>Arriving at the rope bridge, Moondancer tries to prep Rainbow Dash to what she thinks waits ahead by praising her loyalty. However, the bridge isn't even broken and the ponies simply walk over it.

>It does break when only Twilight is left to cross it, but she manages to hold on and make it across too.

>Finally, the ponies head to the pedestal where the elements are stored. Nightmare Moon appears and laughs at how useless their quest has been and breaks the elements in front of the ponies.

>That's when Moondancer gives her inspirational speech about all that Twilight should have learned on this journey:

No, the real elements are inside all of us! Applejack, whom I should have listened instead of jumping off a cliff, represents the element of Honesty!

Rainbow Dash, who never even considered betraying us, represents the element of loyalty!

Fluttershy, who would no doubt have befriended the manticore if I hadn't pissed it off, represents the element of Kindness!

>The elements activate and blast Nightmare Moon with a rainbow, turning her into Princess Luna.

>Babs immediately murders her with a big rock.

>The sun rises, and Princess Celestia returns to the ponies.

"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could- No! What have you done?!"

>As Celestia sees Luna's bloodied corpse, she has a complete mental breakdown. Betrayed and alone, she turns into Daybreaker!

>Daybreaker gets blasted by the elements and Celestia turns into an ordinary unicorn.

>Moondancer yells at Applejack that she can't control her actions and tells her to tie her up. The ponies blink once at all that has happened before jumping Twilight and knocking her out.

In the end, Twilight wakes up tied to an altar and surrounded by pony mystics in black capes. She wrests herself free and forces them to pledge allegiance to her, the new ruler of Equestria. With Moondancer conceding to her role as part of the triple-minded new monarch, the game ends with the start of a new Equestrian era.

This was a good game, although I remember only fragments from it:

>Friendship school has burnt down, and Ocellus is the prime suspect.

>Coloratura questions the students, singing a song about how it's okay to confess if you know something.

>Students don't know anything, and apparently Ocellus is the prime suspect only because she's a changeling.

>Fancypants makes an epic social faux pass, ending up stabbing Applejack and running away. Now he's the main suspect, and the easily swayed populace of Ponyville wants his blood.

>Shining Armor inspects the crime scene, finding colorful dragon scales. The scales match Spike and Ember, who had a fireproof room for their fire breathing contests.

>Fancypants flees to Rarity's boutique, where Rarity still fawns over him enough to let him hide despite thinking he burnt the school.

>Guards surround the boutique and are about to search it, so Fancypants tries to dress up as a mare to slip past them. His disguise is extremely unconvincing, but before the guards jump him Queen Chrysalis appears out of nowhere and whisks him away.

>Shining Armor searches through the ruins again and concludes that it started from a fallen lantern. He asks Twilight Sparkle about it, who uses a time travel spell to go back in time to see what happened.

>She appears in the past, accidentally knocks the lantern over, and before she has time to put out the flames the time spell runs out and she returns to the present. Too embarrassed to admit it, she says that the culprit was Fancypants.

>In the woods, Queen Chrysalis tells Fancypants that villains ought to stick together and offers him to join her, but Fancypants respectfully declines.

Eventually Shining Armor manages to capture Chrysalis, and Countess Coloratura jumps at the chance to tell everyone that it must have been Chrysalis masquerading as Fancypants all along. After all, why would a respectable noblepony set a school on fire and stab a national hero out of nowhere? Twilight eagerly agrees and the crime is declared solved. The End.

>Couronne meets Rarity

>Couronne almost fucks the Minotaur

>Couronne hates Fey

Take your pick. Or just go straight to the source.

A response in-line with the topic of the thread.

I had always thought the text-only system in pic related was a neat way to facilitate play-by-post campaigns on image boards. That system also had some "splatbooks" which, true to their roots, were just HTML documents hosted on GDocs. They haven't been touched in years, but it's a neat snapshot of the time when it was created.

Does anyone have experience with it or a similar system? I'd have thought play-by-post systems would be somewhat popular on an image board where everyone complains about not having a group, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I'll convert the splatbooks to PDFs and upload them soon, for anyone who's interested.
