Hi there!

My GM is going to be running this in the near future, so I will check back and see how well it turns out! I myself am running an Elder Scrolls setting for SW, so I have been delegated to rules monkey of the party.

Where's the link to your errata? I originally downloaded the book a few months ago and am getting a new one, but I would like to know the changes off hoof. Like did you include anything from season 3?

Hello! Great to hear about that; in the future, feel free to email me or send me a message here on DA if any of you have questions or need clarifications, I will respond as soon as I am able.

I haven't gotten around to compiling a complete list of errata between 3rd and the Revised 3rd (the version that is currently up), as it was a lot of small things. If you have any specific questions, go ahead and ask me. Season 3 had not aired when I put up the latest version of the book, so it has nothing from S3 in it.

Sure! I see you have the stats for playing Zebra and Griffons, but do you have anything about playing changelings? One of our players is dead set on playing one and he isn't going to change his mind any time soon.

I, however made a really awesome earth pony, whom I'm considering making my own ponysona. If you want I'll share the build with you.

I do not and will not have rules for playable changelings. It is my opinion that they are totally unsuitable as player characters, as they are monsters and hive insects that follow a queen which doesn't lend itself to being a free adventurer, let alone one that would travel with a group of ponies. He is going to have to have the GM houserule some changeling rules if he's so dead set on it, but I'm not going to officially support it.

Good on you for making an Earth pony though! People tend to think they aren't as 'good' as the other breeds, which is not only wrong but goes against the message of the show itself as well. I've got a bias towards Unicorns because I'm a fan of casters in any RPG, but I've got both a Unicorn character and an Earth pony character that I play myself.

Six earth ponies pull a frieght train at their full speed and power. I dare you to tell me earth ponies aren't magic.

Each pony breed has its own form of magic; it is expressed differently in each thought, with unicorn magic just being the most obvious. The Feats of Daring and Strength are manifestations of each of their respective breeds' magic.

That's absolutely right! I mean heck, pegasus can fly, but they are also the only ones who can stand on clouds or manipulate weather phenomena.
Unicorns are just obviously magical, but lack any physical aptitude.
Earth Ponies are quite capable, I generally like them as character concepts. I can't fly, but I can get around that. I can't levitate, but I can get around that too. I CAN however kick this boulder across the town without breaking a sweat. Or climb up a hill with the rest of the party on my back.

Canon wise, I think Earth ponies are the only ones who can grow plants properly. I dunno about it though, I wasn't watching the show for that fact so I'm not sure if there's evidence in doing so.

I'm not sure if this is a good spot to mention this or not; I didn't see a link to the errata sheet or a place to suggest fixes….

But you use the word obsequious—obedient and attentive to an excessive or servile degree—when all your context says you mean inconspicuous.

It's nice to see such a diverse sort of project, and to see you so ready and willing to help people with their questions and problems. Keep up the good work!

I just double checked, and 'obsequious' can also mean 'submissive or compliant'. Probably not the best word, but it does work in that not every 'combat' in SW:MLP is a physical struggle in the traditional sense. With the Clash of Wills system, there are ways to represent combat in which the effect of the Edge would mean that the character would be ignored because they do not appear to be a threat. I may change it in a future revision, I'll have to decide on that later but your comment is duly noted.

Thanks for the kind words, I try my best to help my fans and supporters!

Hey, I'm really loving what I am reading in this document and would really like to give it a try, but there are relatively few in my area who are interested in Table Top roleplaying and even less who like MLP. Would you happen to know of any way I might be able to connect with people online either by Skype or some other contact means and play that way?
