Imho. Now there's just way too many races in the game, and the rolling system has been made extremely more RNGesus heavy for no reason. The old rolling system wasn't bad, it just needed to be tweaked a little. This fixes NOTHING and only makes it worse.

Alright lets fix this.

First off: the last digit of your post determines your race and gender. 0-4 is male 5-9 is female. Odds are Earth/Zebra, Evens are Gryphons/Pegasi/Unicorns.

We could add bats if anons want them.

>>26981950
>>26981943
>The last digit of your roll determines your race. Odds are Earth Pony/Zebra/Gryphon, Evens are Pegasi/Batponies/Unicorns
The second to last digit of your roll determines your sex. 0-4 is Male and 5-9 is female.

Hum, well how about this then...

1-2 Earthpone
3-4Zebra
5-6 Griffon
7-8 Pegasi
9-0 Unicorn

Second to last digit 0-4 male and 5-9 female.

Would that work better as a rolling chart?

>>
>>26982857
I'd think that we just leave it as it is and go from there. That being said this is going to stall out unless we write more green or discuss some more on the local area.

Some ideas I came up while I was asleep was that there might be an island in the middle of the lake that has a small wooded area in it, however it's got some spooky legends about it that we dont know about. The ponies across the lake however just might.

That being said would ancient ruins and lost castles from previous wars be interesting to add into the local area?
>>
>>26982889
Waiting for every bit to be perfect will prevent progress. Better to run with what you have and fix as you continue ue to move forward.
>>
>>26982913
Yes but this leads to in balance, I say we should try to solve the issue today and if not, fine we shall continue. 4C had this issue and it was never fixed which caused issues later on.
>>
>>26982901
I would definitely like something such as this, but we have to establish what sort of setting this is before we start spouting out ideas. Do we want this to be a sort of "Nobledark" or "Grimbright" setting?
>>
>>26982952
Way I have written the story so far is that the people are grim, but the lands around it are rather bright. Essentially there is oppertunity for wonderous sights and things to be seen, but the country we live in, the people here are kinda dicks, that being said recent overtures of friendship in the capital have begun to take root. But for now our chances of seeing that enlightened rule are minor at best.

tldr: The government is kinda shit and mean, the prince is nice to use, the princess is wanting glory and war mongering. The area can be dark in places but most of it is exploring around and finding new things tier.
>>
>>26982952
NormalDark.

Normal: You have to build town because no one wants to live in he cold.

Dark: Did we mention Ravenscar is not technically in the Gryphon's version of the Everfree Forest? And by technically not, I mean it is. Also, enjoy the Nobles asking for crazy and crazier things to justify their plots.

it's actually an easy system if you don't try to grasp it on its entirety on the first run. Go part by part, have the DM run sessions as 'lessons' on the system so everybody gets adjusted and learns by practice.

Let's see some discussion then!

>What hazards would there be in the area, I personally think that the fort and other ruins be small things that could resemble outposts. Maybe a few ruined towers with some dungeons within them on the lower levels.

Those towers could be the remains of the Equestrian movement that had done a counter offensive against the birds but was later abandoned as the equestrians went home.

Meanwhile Griffin outposts would be situated in large trees and roosts, if there are Hills nearby with craggy drops off into the distance then they might have some shallow cave systems that they use

I just imagine the Griffon architecture would reflect their birdie attitude
>>
>>26982694
Rolls
>>
>>26984719
If we are still using the tundra idea then fortified cave structures would be a good idea because it limits exposure to the cold surface regions. Trees and roosts however would fare very poorly in the cold, because it would contend with high winds and the temperature.
Maybe a giant tree fort so massive it goes above the clouds?

That would work more for a central capital idea but from what we can see in the show is that the griffins prefer mountains and stonework with large airy structures implying either really thick furs or the fires run hot in the mountain tops

But still this would imply that a lot of the Griffin country is filled with a bunch of hills and cliffs are there any real world equivalent of that somewhere as I live in some of the flattest spots in the world

Steppes is some craggy hills and gradually jagged landscape until you get to a set of spooky mountains, I guess.

from that map i'd choose the leftmost X, the others are right on the tundra with nothing else around.

directly across the valley from that X might work too, looks close to >>26985209
>>
>>26985527
Far left X or far right X would be most interesting, especially if right's mountains can be climbed or the pony village has a tunnel or path through it. That way we can be encouraged to try diplomacy with them or eventually build up town relations.
Without a river it will be very difficult to travel far though. Trading will have to be very important because of the scarcity.

We can write stories based on the prompts, knowing what our location looks like gives a better idea of what goal we can set or what we can do. For example we better get on the good side of the pony village if using that prompt, because it will take a long time to travel anywhere else.

No
Of all the races listed there, it's the only one with literally no real info beyond 'they pulled Luna's cart'. No matter wehat you try, the "Batpony" established noncanon wise by a lot of people will leak in. Fangs, blood/mango shit, nocturnal, echolocation, etc.
>>
So what I've come up with in regards to lore is this:
Before it became the piece of trash it was, Ravenscar was actually a fairly known town among the locals. Now, the town population is quite small, due to it being situated in a magical yet perilous forest known as Wyrdward Wood.
However, there is a legend spoken among the people about a treasure of great power hidden somewhere in the enchanted forest, something that would grant its possessor the power to become a mighty king. Clues to its existence and location were found in the secret writings of King Gerrant V, the wealthiest king of Gryphonia, by a scribe.
Pilgrims and explorers alike used to frequent the town as a base camp before setting out into the Wyrdward Woods in search of the fabled treasure. Many adventurers find nothing but aches, scars, and another tale for the local bar to stock up on. Some don't make it to town and are claimed by the strange forces that govern the forest.
One day, an unknown adventurer set events in motion for the eventual abandonment and desolation of the town. Nobody knows whether they uncovered a magical artifact that was beyond their ability to control, or ventured into the bowels of the Wyrdward Woods and made an ill-advised pact with one of its spirits, or unknowingly freed an evil unicorn mage, imprisoned in one of the many surrounding ruins for his crimes against the nation. In any case, one day, the town was besieged by all sets of supernatural entities that forced the townsfolk to evacuate Ravenscar immediately. Spirits, ghosts, and all sorts of monsters pretty much wrecked the town, and all manner of the king beating the onslaught of enemies back proved futile.
But then the creatures of the forest mysteriously just moved on and went back to their natural habitat. Now all that's left is an abandoned ghost town in the middle of a forest.
>>
>>26986509

Because without it, everyone would just be pegasi, unicorns and batponies (with the occasional zegro), much like the shitshow that was the original 4c.

And this, mark my words, will end up going down the shitter, too. It's just a matter of time.

>>26986571
That sounds very interesting as a prompt and gives lots of ideas for how to handle the surroundings.
One aspect from a prompt that maybe can be combined with your idea was that the territory we are in is considered neutral territory and there would be political maneuvering based around it. Maybe one of the spirits previously caused a battle between the races here too?
I'm not sure but I like where you went with it.

If pegasi can instead be batponies, deer should be the alternate option for zebra.

I kind of want it to be in the forest at the base of the mountain. Tundra's are really sparse.

>>26986677

Because if you're going to start introducing things that aren't in the show's canon (like batponies), then this may as well not even fucking be MLP anymore, you super retard.

I did say depending on the prompt, anon. The tundra area just happens to be the one currently being discussed and focused on so I assumed it was which you meant.

Should we just ban ERP? If it was so bad to ruin your last RP thing, can we just kick people out or into another channel if they want to sperg?
>>
>>26987175
Yes exactly there. I really should have just circled it.
I think it makes the territory varied enough to still be interesting but also not completely close off prompts to any writers. The river and the station being within reasonable traveling distance, if well supplied, opens up a lot of exploration avenues. Staying confined in our town area can also be possible depending on weather conditions or other things keeping us trapped.
Who knows, maybe even the spirits in >>26986571 still lurk in the forest to this day?

Banning ERP or fappable greens may be a good idea too. No need for this thread to have even more mod scrutiny.

Banning greens right off the fucking bat. So typical of the 4C crowd.

The thread is for writing based off the prompt in the opening post, roleplay threads get banned.

Neat, so what's some other things that could be discussed? I really like the idea of their being some weird magic stuff in the forests that had been the cause and doom of the city. That being said we could make it with a theme of nature slowly takes back what it owns in the sense that the war between griffins and ponies had happened and afterwards the ruins were reclaimed by nature regardless of the machinations of the mortal races

Does that mean we could ban all the explicit, sexual, and romantic connotations in the public chat as well? Because flirting with other players is still as cringy as ERP.
