[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 6872643, member: 8461"] A few weeks ago, it was [url=http://www.equestriadaily.com/2016/03/official-pony-roleplaying-game-on-way.html]quietly announced[/url] that an official RPG based on [I]My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic[/I] would be released in 2016, titled [I]Tails of Equestria[/I] (and no, that's not a typo). This nicely answers the question of [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468965-Where-is-My-Little-RPG]Where is My Little RPG?[/url] [I]Tails of Equestria[/I] will be produced by European game company [url=http://riverhorse.eu/]River Horse[/url] (of course). There's an interview with some River Horse staff in a video at that first link posted above, with the section relevant to [I]Tails of Equestria[/I] starting just before the 42:00-mark, and lasting about a half-hour. Several details about the game are given, which I've summarized below: [list][*]The RPG will be released as a hardcover book, not a boxed set. [*]It will not make use of miniatures (that is, this won't require miniatures to play). [*]The character sheets will be for earth ponies, unicorns, pegasi, and "draw your own." Each character sheet will have a space to draw a picture of your character (the three pony races will have a basic image to embellish, and the "draw your own" will have a blank space), as well as a second space to draw your cutie mark. [*]Characters will have the option of starting as a pony that's already obtained their cutie mark, or as a blank flank and discovering their cutie mark during the course of the game. [*]"Nobody can start as an alicorn." [*]Characters will have three stats: Body, Mind, and Charm. [*]As part of character creation, you have a d4 and a d6; you pick which of these are associated with your Body and Mind stats (they didn't say what determines Charm). [*]There's no "class" for characters; what you are is determined by your race and your special talent. [*]Your level of talent is determined by the size of the die you roll. An ordinary unicorn has a d6 for Telekinesis; Twilight Sparkle is described as having "a d12 or d20." [*]Similarly, pegasi automatically receive a d6 in the Fly talent, while earth ponies automatically have their Body die increased to the next die size. [*]Each character chooses a personal talent, as well as a personal flaw. [*]Your Body stat will determine your Stamina points, which are the game's version of hit points. [*]Making an action that's opposed by another creature (e.g. hoof-wrestling) is determined by opposed rolls. Trying to accomplish a task against a situation (e.g. kick down a door) is made by rolling to equal or exceed a target number. [*]The game uses an "exploding dice" mechanic. More specifically, if you roll the maximum value on a die, you may then roll the next larger die, and keep whichever result is better. This can happen cumulatively, so if you roll a 4 on a d4, and then roll a 6 on a d6, you can go ahead and roll a d8, keeping that value if it's higher than your 6 from the d6. [*]The game will include stats for personalities from the show, including the Mane Six, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna. [*]The game will include an introductory adventure; adventuring will include being sent on missions by the Cutie Map. [*]Supplementary materials will include things such as character sheets and a GM screen. [*]The designers mention that they're willing to receive proposals from RPG writers who want to submit other supplements for publication.[/list] Hopefully more details, and a release date, will be forthcoming soon!
