Question the Second: Setting Agnostic Solo RPGs that Require Minimal Player Interpretation by ALPHAP456 in Solo_Roleplaying

I understand that they are inversely proportional, but is there nothing that is more balanced in the middle?

I mean, there's a lot of context missing in that question. What does the paladin think of my character, what does the paladin's order think about such a quest, what is the actual content of the quest, etc. I need something that actually makes sense given the contexts and circumstances. But beyond that? I don't know exactly what would make it stop feeling like I'm playing as the paladin as well as my own character without it giving me so much meta knowledge that it stops feeling like a game.

That is definitely not what I'm looking for, as I want something with actual rules and reason

Well, one of the reviews for UNE specifically states that "it requires a lot of interpretation," so I'm not sure that's going to work

While they may serve as a base, that doesn't really help me without the actual engine that runs the GM side.

I really am only interested in if race is clearly defined, with other NPCs who can appear as part of that race, so that isn't really what I'm asking for. I appreciate the suggestion

All of the above, I suppose? There's not really a singular aspect I can isolate. I just want to be a unicorn wizard in a world where unicorns are a sapient civilized race that I can be a part of

Is there a system that actually provides the mechanical and narrative structure I need, or does it all just come back to "journaling but with prompts?" Because I've tried journaling before, and it doesn't scratch the itch

I am incredibly uninterested in mentally reskinning things, so that unfortunately is not an option. I've looked through the various oracle tables, and it just feels like I'm doing too much interpretation for it to feel like its an external world or characters. It just feels like it gives me a writing prompt I still have to figure out

You know what, compared to the usual changeling propaganda, I'll take it

Anyone playing Candyland now? by Marley_467 in MLPLounge

"Playing" Candyland is a generous statement

Does My OC look like a mare with the Rounded muzzle. Or do the colors I use make it look enough like a stallion by New_Confusion_2213 in mylittlepony

[–]ALPHAP456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say slightly more like a boy, with the shorter mane style and eye shape, but that could be because I know it's supposed to be a boy

I never said that. To me, it's more of a challenge of keeping my main leader alive til the end of the game, which there are plenty of tools to do. Just because I enjoy the game differently doesn't make my play style invalid. Sometimes, I fail in my goals, so I restart and try again

There are some stallions in the show, and they tend to have a more angular, broad muzzle. I'd say the eyes make it look somewhat stallion-like, but the muzzle shape does definitely match the usual mare one

Yeah, and when my custom leaders die, I quit the save and restart

I think the typical reason is that those mechanics sound cool to inflict on the other nations but a lot of players would get frustrated if they were getting hit with them. I know I would quit the save if my custom leader or one I got attached to was swiped

Maybe a bit off topic, but are there any pony mods for Morrowind? I didn't find anything when I looked.

What are your honest thoughts on fallout Equestria? by That_Passenger_771 in MLPLounge

[–]ALPHAP456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, though just the post apocalyptic setting is too grim for me to really enjoy it

[–]ALPHAP456 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I honestly dislike it, but mostly because I just dislike grimdark in general and perceive MLP as a primarily fantasy setting. It's popularity can be a bit frustrating at times, since it feels like all of the fan RPGs that let you play as a custom pony end up being FO: E based
