I miss City of Heroes.

There's still Champions Online and DC Universe Online

Bravo.

"I can't believe I'm getting emotional about a fake pony from a made-up game,"

hahahahahhaaha :applecry:

I apologize if the character creation process was a bit dry, I promise it's much more fun to actually do than it is to read about.

But… that was the sexiest part. Thought I was reading a naughty story for a minute there.

you know, maybe it’s because I’ve made characters myself, but I loved the character creation. It was perfect and highly entertaining to me.

and then, I wasn’t even playing the game and I got a little weepy there at the end

This was great fun and makes me wish I had time for RPGs.

:moustache: Gee Rarity , I'm er Humdrum's not cleaning up this mess
:twilightsmile: It is one of your chores you know
:moustache: only if I get the left over snacks
:facehoof:

Yay!:yay:

It does a heart good to do someone's heart good:raritystarry:

Lovely stuff. The actual chargen was a bit dry given my lack of familiarity with the system, but everything around it was great. Especially Fluttershy's character. That mare needs therapy...

clearly psychosomatic

Oh hey, funny coincidence I just picked up the core rulebook at Origins. No real prospects for using it anytime soon, but it was fun to see the character creation in action.

I highly recommend just sitting down and rolling up a bunch of characters for your own amusement, see what you can come up with. :)

"We can use the constructed method of character creation, then. Get ready to write things down!"

Wait, is that?

"All right, so write that down as your Background. It gives you a dee-ten and a dee-eight to assign to two Qualities out of Fitness, Persuasion, or the Mental Qualities category. And those aaare..." She flipped back a page, casting a quick bookmark spell so she could reference the page easily in the future. "...Alertness, Conviction, Creativity, Investigation and Self-Discipline." A surge of excitement rippled through her. "Oh, you should definitely take Creativity as your ten. That sounds like the kind of thing you want to have at a high die size."

It is! Excellent! I helped back the Sentinel Comics RPG and have been itching to properly use it since. This was an excellent adaptation thereof! I hadn't realized it could map to ponies quite so easily, but it makes sense for the system. Only really works for superheroes as is, but can manage anything in that genre well enough.

Also, that character creation was amazing to read. Never thought chargen could be that narratively interesting. Probably helped that I knew the system, but was still very fun to watch a character be built and then see a suitably dramatic sample of play.

Also, I want that bookmark spell. I really want that bookmark spell. Actual bookmarks are rarely on hand, unlike fingers, which only work so well.

Hey, a KS backer! :D Small world! (I picked it up after the campaign, I do believe.)

Yeah, actually using bookmarks, I do not have enough. D: The page with all the powers and qualities is marked though!

There was also Hayr Brayne, the giant, mutant bunny rabbit from an apocalyptic dimension who fought crime with reckless abandon, bad attitude and severed unicorn horns that he used to shoot magic lasers at the bad guys.

Twilight still intended to urge Fluttershy to get a therapist.

.___. ...that uh...that might be a good idea before unicorns go missing.
