Update on Sunday's Unknown Ponies Game

Wow, I've gotten a huge response to this! In fact, I have more potential players than I can reasonably run at any one time. So let me give some critical information to interested parties:

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
In addition, while not strictly necessary, a portrait of your character made using General Zoi's pony generator will earn you an in-game benefit.


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.
I am in the process of making a blank character sheet, as well as posting "sample pony characters" as helpful examples. I'd like to have those up today, but I don't know if that's possible. 

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.
