UPDATE: Recruitment Open!
Today marks the day of the first Harmony Faire outside of Canterlot, set to serve as a reminder of Equestria's long past by recreating the days following the unification of the three pony tribes. To kick off the Festivities 'Princess Platinum' presides over a tournament of ponies seeking to prove their worthiness of the title of knight. Well, at least until the five ponies in black armor showed up and started taking their roles way too seriously...
Timeline Information:
In terms of the Canon timeline, this campaign starts off several months after the end of Season 3. However, due to time travel the majority of this campaign will actually take place roughly 1600 years prior to the show, happening between the unification of the pony tribes after the Windigos and the Rise of Discord.
Special Rules
War Magic
During the course of the campaign the PCs will encounter allies and foes who use War Magic, and as such I will allow PCs to learn such spells, however all War Magic will be treated as one rank higher than listed.
Altering the Past
For most of this campaign your characters will be in the past, and thus will be able to alter how history plays out. This is tolerated and even encouraged in most cases, as long as you keep your meddling to reasonable scales. For example, attempting to industrialize pre-Discord Equestria will not be tolerated.
Character creation notes:
Non-Pony races
Zebras and Griffins are allowed as PCs, however I will note that your characters may not be the most warmly received guests in pre-Discord Equestria, if you are really considering such a character please consult me first
Equipment
Almost all of the default equipment listed in the Savage Worlds of MLP book will be available in the past (matches and medicine chest are not), however there is a decent chance that any special items I allow your character will not be able to be easily replaced in the past. additionally in the past some items may cost more than the listed price.
Time Travel
Take note while making your characters that you will be traveling back in time, so aspects of your character that are strictly tied to the present will not be visited upon during most of the campaign. Furthermore Enemy and Wanted are not appropriate hindrances.
Session Info
Currently I plan on running sessions on IRC every Saturday at 6PM Pacific unless there is an issue finding players.
Players
Conan
Mr. Trickery
Warp
Darkwind
Dashie
Due to the lack of games around here I would very much prefer that you only sign up if you are not currently involved with any other campaigns (the oneshots are perfectly fine)
