Description
My Little Pony Fantasy Multiplayer Text Only RolePlaying GameSOON TO BE UPDATED TO v1.3
version 1.2
Original rules by the MLPDND crew, special thanks to the submarine.
Want to leave feedback or ask questions? Contact the developers at femtodevs [at] gmail.com
Updated to version 1.2
Various improvements and revisions to racial traits and class skills, such as: the agile and resourceful Goatcraft; armor capacity and bonuses for Pegasus and Griffon flight; the unique Paladin Spellbreaker skill; the Thaumaturge's liberating Master Caster multiclass skill; and more!
This is intended to be the last version before we move on to v2.0, which will introduce sweeping system changes, foremost among them being the inclusion of Perks and Flaws to create unique adventurers. And it will all still be easy to pick up and play, using only a d10 and your imagination!
---
This imagesheet is a simplified version of the full rules of MLPFMTORPG, a tabletop roleplaying game originally designed to be played in online imageboard forums. While much of it was inspired by D&D, the system uses d10s and is fairly simple and very open, allowing players and Dungeon Masters to create the campaign they want without burdening them with number-crunching and overly detailed mechanics.
This project started back in spring of 2012; while I wasn't one of the original people to put it together, I did my best to collate, organize, and revise the rules, including the creation of a GoogleDoc and this imagesheet for easy sharing.
If you ever play a game of this, be sure to let me know!
Various pieces of artwork and vectors were gathered to create this imagesheet, and I will try to credit each of the respective creators. If you recognize any of the pieces here, please help me out and link me to a source! If you are the creator of any piece of art here and wish for your work to be removed, please provide proof and I will make a note not to include your work in future revisions.

Considering Tirek is now canon, edit the picture?

This project's focus has since moved elsewhere, making pony content a secondary concern (we even removed the deity system before moving away from pony).

I'm glad I found this page. I was looking for a pdf version of the gdoc to keep on my phone, but alas I can't find anything. Then coming here I see its up to 1.3, hopefully I'll be able to play some the end of the month.

I know exactly what I'm going to play. A Pegasus Battlemage who uses a golden cross as a catalyst. Instead of attacking with a regular sword, the cross is large enough to act like a one-handed staff. I guess you'd call it a baton. But anyway, can't decide if i should follow Celestia or Luna.

Dude, forget that it's MLP a second and lets talk dice.
The core mechanics in that thing are amazing. Simple and accessible, but diverse and inclusive. Before I really talk shop though, are you responsible for any notable amount of the mechanics; or do I need to go to someone else?
Because I've been working on a project completely unrelated to MLP and holy cow this fits the bill.
I'd spice it up a little bit, make it a little crunchier, but I just wanted to express a serious appreciation for this thing. Whoever did do this took D&D apart, then simplified it and made it fun.

I'm basically #2 on the project, in charge of record-keeping, facilitation, and top-down analysis. Ask me anything. I wasn't the one to choose the d10 mechanic, but its simplicity is at the core of everything we develop for the system, I adhere to that in my contributions to its design.
I saw your /tg/ post earlier today when my fellows pointed it out, butt hadn't occurred to me that you may have located my deviantART page! Use the e-mail I left in that thread so that the others can also see your questions and comments. I'll edit it into the comments now.

Well, the thread is long dead now; but I think I've got the correct e-mail.
I'll send some junk to the one I do have, and we'll see what happens.

It's simple enough that you could adapt everything to a steampunk setting.

I might as well. It is a bit more fitting for the world, as they're in a some what early stage of development.

Some forums and imageboards have dice rolling functions. Invisible Castle [link] has an online roller and roll log that you can link to for verification.

All you need now is a game and a DM. We've been running stuff privately on the MLPG submarine, but people in 4chan's /mlp/ board have picked up on it recently.

moronsonofboron In reply to heavensguard [2012-08-15 20:30:25 +0000 UTC]
If you're taking Superheavy Proficiency, be sure to take superheavy armor in your inventory.
Due to the specific nature of his background, you may have difficulty finding a campaign with a suitable timeline. You may want to modify his story slightly, but you have the potential for a roleplay opportunities. You should bear in mind that Luna and NMM both exist on the alignment chart, so you should encourage your Game Master to present opportunities for your character to choose between the two. His devotion could lead to him eventually taking on a Divine multiclass.
Lastly, don't use pony generator images. While it's fast and easy to use, those images are far too common. Go on a quest of your own to draw your characters, or find an artist who will (likely one of your fellow players).

Right, and when I said he sided with NightMare Moon I was talking about the legend. He's a modern time character. He read it and didn't like what Celestia did. Also thanks for the tip, both on drawing and the SuperHeavy Armor.
