Due to the massive interest in this game, I am not taking reservations, Participation will be on a first-come, first-served basis, assuming you have a character that's ready to go.
What you need is the following:
- A Skype account that has friended me, so that I can invite you to play
- A working microphone for same (this game will not use video)
- A character sheet for a Blank Flank pony, emailed to me
- Your own copy of the rules & character sheet
- Pencil & two 10 sided dice
Other than that, show up ready to have fun! I hate having to say this, but "ready to have fun" means:
- Don't be a jerk.
- Realize this is supposed to be a fun, lighthearted adventure, not a grimdark dungeon crawl.
- If you're too shy or socially awkward to role-play a cartoon pony over a microphone, this is not the game for you.
Finally, I make NO PROMISES WHATSOEVER, but I might -- maybe, might, it could happen but it could just as easily not happen -- be able to run an earlier session from 1-5 pm Eastern. I will have to check my schedule.
PDF
Okay, so I've skimmed through the PDF of the rules. Quick question: Is it beneficial for me to read through the Unknown Armies PDF as well? There are a lot of pages...
ReplyDeleteAlso, from skimming through your PDF, I'm assuming that there won't be much use of combat mechanics, but rather a set of skill challenges based of social situations resulting form roleplaying? Uhm, sorry if that didn't make sense, as I stated earlier, I'm rather inexperienced at this.
All you REALLY need to read in UA is page 7, which I should probably cut out and include in the next version of Unknown Ponies.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, just like in the cartoon, combat is rarely (if ever) the proper way to solve a problem. Interaction and problem-solving are the order of the day.
ReplyDeleteNo Skype, no mic. I did make a pony picture and posted to my blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd I commented! You are now part of the Herd. *hoofbump*
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who thinks its interesting that we are using a quite dark and gothie RPG as the base for a flamboyant game about talking ponies? Either way, sound like a hoot to my.
ReplyDeleteHow do you want us to submit our ponies, from the pony creator?
I think it's funny as hell, and quite subversive.
ReplyDeleteEmail me a screen capture and/or your pony export code.
If there is still a space I'm pretty keen on being in the game. I run MLP roleplay games and UA is one of my first most loved systems. However I've rolled all over your blog and I can't find any skype info. Sadface. Could you point me towards your skype stuff if ever you decide to run a game again? I have a character all ready and waiting to go ^^
