This a basic ruleset for the My Little Pony - Tails of Equestria RPG which can be found here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/14116/River-Horse-Games . Its a pretty simple system but it is a lot of fun to play with the right group.

Fast Start
Here is a quick overview on how to use the ruleset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO2M8UDOof0 You should watch the video to understand how to use the ruleset.

Things to Note
This is a FGU only ruleset. It uses some features that are only available in FGU.
I think every Character and NPC sheet function except for the is double click rather than single click.

Great stuff damned.

[esmdev]

Wow, so colorful. :). Didn't even know such a game existed.

[lotevenstar]

Do you have anywhere showing how you accomplished the friendship counter/tracker using Ruleset Wizard? I am trying to figure out how to do that myself and linking different sections is proving hard for me (I may just need to take more time figuring it out, but that of course would require having said time to use). Well done!

[lotevenstar]

Tbh, I would love another Youtube series showing how you made this entire thing. lol

[damned]

The counter list is pretty straight forward once you put the right info in the right fields.
See this tutorial by psicodelix

I wont be making a video on this ruleset creation as I didnt do it while I was working on it (and it takes a long time!).

Edit: Double-post

[wndrngdru]

@damned I'm kind of surprised you didn't replace the link icon with something more pony-ish, like a horseshoe or something.

[damned]

There is always more that can be done but time betrays me every day.

[wndrngdru]

Boy, ain't that the truth...

[Scoilt]

Great ruleset for a simple and fun game. Quick replies to questions from damned as well. Currently working on adding the core elements to the ruleset as well as Tails of Fallout: Equestria bits. :D

[damned]

Thanks Scoilt. How old are your MLP players?

[Scoilt]

I've got an eight year old and this was her first foray into table top RPGs. Her older sister (15) and her mom sat in on the first play through as well. Hoping to implement this ruleset to streamline her experience.

[damned]

Ive added a bunch of small tweaks and improvements based on feedback from Scoilt.
Available now in Forge.

[DaddieCat]

I'm entering everything in and looking forward to running it.

Thanks!

A quick test of the ruleset gives me errors when trying to doubleclick stats or abilities.
Specificaly : DBRMLP : RulesetWizardDiceRoller.lua line 41: Attemp to call field GetActor which returns a NIL value.

The getActor does not appear anywhere in the current MLP ruleset....

I've spent entirely too much time entering the different source books, adventures, even the Fallout stuff, etc. :D Almost finally done. Just cleaning them up a bit.

More then passing strange...
Blank campaign, no extensions.

What version are you on?
The current build should be 1.06

I am starting to think I am on the wrong version of the ruleset. I downloaded the PAK in the first post of this thread and taking a peek in the code I find little reference to version but I do find the get actor line.

[damned]

Bad me. That link should have been removed long ago.
Find it on the forge in my signature.

[Oberoten]

That explains it. Going to the forge it is.

[DaddieCat]

I just finished loading up the Core book and the Adventure it contains and have created 2 separate modules from it, one for Character Creation for players and another for the adventure. Now for my spouse to get their gaming group scheduled to run it.

I haven't run into any issues of any kind that weren't issues I created by linking to items that don't exist in the module (rookie mistakes).

My only question is what is the extra dice on the table that has +, 1, -1 etc? I haven't seen it referenced in the rulebook anywhere.

Thanks, again for all the work that went into this.

[damned]

Hi DaddieCat it is just a Fate/Fudge die. It is part of the underlying CoreRPG. I may remove it and the d100 at some point but they are pretty harmless - give them an apple and they probably wont bite anyone.

[DaddieCat]

I figured it was something like that. I haven't tried to dive into MoreCore or your new Xcore yet. I think Xcore is my next deep dive for a hombrew project.

Have a great day!

[damned]

Stealing a line from Robert Schwalb when I asked him what his favorite adventure for Shadow of the Demon Lord was - "I love all my children" - Id start with XCore - It can do a whole lot with a pretty manageable interface. MoreCore has many more options but that also brings some more complexity.

The NPC sheet broke after the update. Does not display the characteristics.

Disabling extension does not solve the problem.
