[BAMFpodcast] FATE Hacked - for My Little Pony: Frienship is Magic

[mikelaff]

Continuing our discussion of gaming for kids, charming Canadian Daniel Gallant joins us to talk about how he has hacked FATE into a My Little Pony RPG that he plays with his daughter.

Turns out, this is a pretty popular experiment as there's at least one more FATE for MLP variant and Savage Worlds version of MLP.

Does the Sonic Rainboom put a temporary aspect on the scene?

Does the Sonic Rainboom put a temporary aspect on the scene?

I'll ask Dan if he can address this

Yes, I would say if Dash was tagging her cutie mark and got spin (any result beating the required by 3 or more), then she would place a "Sonic Rainboom" aspect on the scene.

I think this would apply to any cutie mark. Off the top of my head:

Rainbow Dash - "Sonic Rainboom" - distracting and awe inspiring.
Applejack - "Strong Heart" - gives everyone around her determination and willpower
Fluttershy - "Stare Master" - makes dragons poo themselves
Twilight Sparkle - "Magic Overflow" - she hovers with glowing eyes
Rarity - "Beauty Within" - makes everyone around her feel good about themselves
Pinkie Pie - "Break the 4th Wall" - lets Pinkie have information or give information she would not be able to otherwise.

Thanks for planting the idea in my head! I'll update the document to reflect it.

For the record, Here's the Savage Worlds hack.

If you have a group of adult players, it's a great MLP game.
