I was only peripherally aware of MLP:FIM, having bad memories of the 80s cartoon I was forced to watch with my little sister. I saw it referenced all over the place, but it never caught my interest until my neighbors ( and fellow geeks) began arguing, rather loudly, about it.

Imagine my surprise when I asked what the argument was about and found out is was about the new My Little Pony series. I'm still not sure how, but they get me to watch the series as reasonable 3rd party. I find it's on Netflix, so I begin watching it.

Huh... I found it interesting and enjoyable. It's definitely a kids show and and very much aimed at girls, but it has good writing and isn't dumbed down. Can't help but to appreciate that no matter who you are.

Guess I'm looking forward to see what Faust and Co. come up with in November.

The link below goes to my two main OCs for the MLP roleplaying fan-site Fillydelphia.

They don't use Savage Worlds there, but I thought it would be fun to try and stat them out anyway.

That was an awesome season opener!

Loved it! Mr. Green

And I made this!

Then he spent a bennie to re-roll that Critical Failure on his Throwing check, scoring many, many Aces on the re-roll!

What I found amusing is that in my "Ponyville Horror" game, the ponies can find out that the dreaded Equinomicon was hidden behind a secret panel in the library in Ponyville.

Secret panel concealing old books? CONFIRMED! Mr. Green

PINKIEPOCALYPSE!

...

Oh, good grief. Now we've established that if there's a Savage Pony campaign, the players can theoretically just go and find yonder suspicious half-buried rock, unicorn-levitate it out, and proceed toward PONY MASS MAYHEM! :O

Total violation of the Laws of Conservation of Pony.

I mean, sure, the duplicates seem to be a little more messed-up in the head, so from a game-balance perspective, there's no guarantee that PCs would have control over their Pony Clone Army, but there are just so many scary fridge-logic directions to take this into. (This is the problem with over-thinking a cartoon. Wink

)

Scariest "Implications for a GM" moment for me: Pinkie #6's finger-forming and Pinkie #27's face-changing stunts*.

ACK! (Please tell me Pinkie's just an illusionist of some sort....)

(*Disclaimer: I just made those numbers up. It's not like I could tell them all apart. Also, I watched this show with Wendy, who used to collect pony toys, and still has most of them packed away in a box somewhere. It's not like I'd watch this all by MYSELF or anything crazy like that!)

Well, they'd have to know where the Mirror Pond is first. And golly, no player would ever stoop to using out-of-character knowledge, right? Laughing

If you're running the campaign in the 'modern day,' I doubt that Twilight or Pinkie would be forthcoming with that information, given the trouble it caused.

This thread has fallen way too far.

Ok, so timberwolves have terrible puppy breath and can regenerate.

Also, it looks like somepony played the Adventure Care that makes an opponent grow larger! Laughing

In my experience, someone always plays Uh Oh! if it gets dealt. Sometimes I ignore the "get bigger" part, simply increasing Strength and Toughness. Twisted Evil

Would you think that all Player Characters have the Pacifist Hindrance Major?

That would force the players to seek out alternative ways to defeat their adversaries. Taunts, tricks, etc...

Even a combative type of pony would have it at a Minor level.

I wouldn't have a "hoof" Hindrance. They seem to hold things just fine.
