Been awhile since I worked on this thing.
I haven't given up on it, was just a bit burned out, that's all.
I think there is an "autorig" function somewhere that saves me time in binding the polygons to the bones.

>>1211535Ah, I was wondering if you still work on it. Looks good so far.
No.1211543
>>1211537Yeah, I will admit, ran out of steam for it a little.
I knew rigging it wouldn't be straight-forward, but the whole exercise here from my "orbman" on Curvy3D, finishing touches on Blender and playable on Godot was for an easy method to make playable characters. In a way, putting my time and effort in my test-man meant I haven't been learning Godot all this time.
Granted, there is MakeHuman (both Blender add-on, and steam app) or MB-Lab which are free and lets you make human characters for you and would save me a lot of trouble if I used them (and will likely use them in the future), but I would also like to make characters of my own style than just generated from an addon. I can't make 3D character models "professionally" and the orbman method is the closest I come to it. Yes, boolean orbs together leads to excess polygons which is why I regard it a "dirty" method, but it's still an efficient method to me.
But overall, I need to figure out how to rig my test-man now. I installed Rigify and I even installed an addon for Rigify to allow Godot-prepared armatures, now I can either bind the bones to the polygons manually and set how the polygons bend and weigh, but I believe their maybe an "auto-rig" function to Blender that may do it all for me.
I like to keep in mind that all the hassles I'm going through, someone more knowledgeable than me may have also gone through the same hassles, and made Blender addons to skip said hassles... such as MakeHuman and MB-Lab to skip the hassle of making human characters from scratch.
But, yes, sometimes I take a break from this experiment/project.
• When I'm not working on one project, I try to do a bit more on another project.
• My past mistake is biting off more than I can chew. While I still want to do lots of things (make games, animation, etc), a jack of all trades I am not. But I am hoping if I am can make bare-bone gameplay demos, I can re-use those demos to make games with.
• Crocotile 3D is currently -20% off on Steam. There's not much coverage of it, but basically a low-poly 3D modelling program that's more ideal if you want to make something like a 3D RPGMaker like game. I might get it for low-poly projects in mind.

I can easily re-port and re-prepare the model from Curvy3D, but at times I feel like I'm just procrastinating with it. At this point, I just want to put the man in the Godot.
Also, I don't know what I am going to do about movement animations. I dunno if Rigify has free-use animations I can use, or if I'll have to animate my own movement animations from scratch.
I wanna make Zelda:OoT-like gameplay if I can.

Well, now I'm conscious about the model proportions.
I'll re-port it again. This time T-pose given Rigify is default at T-pose.
I made the arms four squares lone, just as the legs are four-squares long.
I even made sure body-parts were more centred.

>>1211569I would start an RP thread like Clarity's TDE thread, but I don't know enough on TTRPGs to host one.
However, I am making a "Sonic RPBG", it's gameplay could, in a way, be adapted into other themes.
(Old screenshot, I'm currently renovating the cards.)
When I'm not working on my test-model for Godot, I'm doing a bit on Sonic RPBG.
If I ever finish it, I might make RPBGs on other video game franchises. I like to think I pretty much made my very own TTRPG system. Granted a very simple d6-based one but I find the simplicity of it a charming point. I
could potentially make a My Little Pony RP around my gameplay.

>>1211588Nice.
I would start my own /rp/ thread, but I'm still putting together my Sonic RPBG. And honestly, even with the tweaks I'm adding to it, I don't know how "balanced" it is.
But it's suppose to be as easy as Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf and other mainstream roleplay gamebooks that rely on a single d6 over dice-varieties. A gameplay style that is very easy to adapt to, but elaborate enough for character development. And while Sonic RPBG lacks things like "Levelling" or "Health" (sort of), the gameplay itself can still be adapted for such things.
It's either that or I learn how to play GURPS which I heard is a standard TTRPG system. (In fact, Sonic RPBG does use a freeform point-buying system over rigid levelling.)

>>1211592Well, this Sonic RPBG of mine was inspired by the "Sonic the Hedgehog Adventure Gamebooks" which I proudly own the whole collection. I simply adapted it around more modern elements from Sonic games.
For example, in Sonic Heroes, Sonic and his friends were in groups of three, each team with a "Speed", "Power" and "Fly" type character. So I had that as prime statistics. Given three wasn't enough, I introduced "Technique" as a fourth type. Ideally five types would be ideal but I wanted to keep it simple and figured these four primary stats cover all the physical attributes well.
As for "Secondary Stats", that's Charisma (Charm), Knowledge (Know), Perception (Percept),Willpower (Will) and Luck.
Instead of numbers (sort of), you rank your stats from A (best) to E (worst) with S-Rank being for certain Class-Types. Ranks determine the point value of your various attributes.
When it comes to challenges, they require a stat roll against a Difficulty Number.
For example, if Difficulty Number is
7 and the stat I need to challenge it with is 5, then I must roll 5+d6.
1d6 + 5 = 10If the number is 7 or higher, then I succeed the roll.
If the number is 6 or lower, I failed the roll.

You rank all of these from A-E. Given there are four stats and five letters means you'll have one letter, of your choosing left out.
S-Rank is also optional, for those are especially good at the skill-set.

>>1211630Other than a Player Character card, players also have three or four Skill Cards.
>Skills.Race Skill Cards are default Skill Cards that all players start off with, they consist of racial abilities.
You can choose two other Skill Cards to choose from which consist of various abilities.
>Abilities.The nine squares consist of "Abilities" associated with the Skill Card. The GM grants player a set number of "Experience Points" that they may spend of unlocking abilities.
(Certain Abilities are "stacked", as in you unlock the top one first and must spend another Exp. Point to unlock the one under it. Such as the Spin Jump followed by the Double-Jump.)
>Experience Points.Given the game doesn't have a levelling system, the GM may reward players with a few Exp. Points after every mission.
They look like yellow ♦ markers, used to mark which abilities you unlocked.
>TiersAt first, you can only spend Exp. Points on Tier 1 abilities.
In order to access Tier 2, you need at least 2 abilities.
In order to access Tier 3, you need at least 5 abilities.
>Could the RPBG gameplay be adapted to My Little Pony?I can imagine it be adapted to most things, but not without tweaks here and there.
For example, "Magic" could be added as a fifth stat to determine how much MP you have.
But, in my revised version of Sonic RPBG, I've introduced "Ring Energy" to certain Skill Cards. Every gold ring you collect (the health and currency of the game), you get one "Ring Energy" (depicted as a yellow "⍟" symbol). You don't lose Ring Energy if you lose or spend rings, it's just a means of using abilities with. you can collect as many gold rings as you want, but you have a limit of 100⍟.

>>1211635ah, i c. i like the a-e ranking system, as it reminds me of f-zero gx's ranking system. im also not sure if mermicornos can fly yet, since they do have wings (like alicorns), so i am still a bit confuse....
so, for my mremicorno, i might go with...
Species: Mermicorno
Speed: C
Power: D
Fly (Swim): A
Technique: S
Charisma: C
Know: E
Percept: B
Will: A
Luck: D
technique i guess would be the creative force (somehow combined with will as primary way to defeat foes, even tho power is low?) ...mermicornos are pretty weak without their creative force and average speed i think or even a little slow at swimming .... ...then swim would b swimming ability (dodging & maneuvering?)

>>1211637I've actually watched all of Mermicorno: Starfall that one time.
(I can imagine a mermicorno-version Epic Mount depicted as a sharkicorno, maybe a relative of Sawtooth, and making the Creepy Kelp Forest his home.)Mermicornos, as a franchise, is a spin-off to Unicornos.
https://tokidoki.fandom.com/wiki/UnicornoSome unicorno have wings, so I guess if some mermicorno have wings then they can fly, though given mermicornos live under the sea, do they even need wings if they can swim just as good?
(Come to think of it, an underwater RPG consisting of characters who are natural swimmers, that would make Fly/Jump/Swim entirely redundant, compared to Speed.)
And yes, Technique would be a good fit for a mermicorno's creativity.
If you played Sonic Heroes or Sonic Riders game, you get the general gist of Speed, Power and Fly. I added the Technique Class for players who are more for the use of tools and weapons.
Anyone can fire a weapon in Sonic RPBG, but require successful rolls in Technique, Perception and Luck to use. Certain skills grant "Arms: Weapon" to allow for certain types of weapons to just need Technique for use.
While in most leading TTRPGs, enemies count as their own NPCs with stats, in my RPBG, enemies have a Difficulty Number, an Action Number and a few set health points. The health points are usually low but team work is still encouraged for multiple enemies or enemies with higher health points.
Almost all characters give the same amount of damage, with a few abilities granted +1 or +2 in damage to certain attacks.
I know lack of levelling or shared range of damage output may seem off-putting to experience TTRPGers who prefer growth and strength, but as I said, I based my gameplay more off gamebooks than TTRPGs that use a very standard, simple system. And in choosing a standard-simple system means the adventure and journey can be more enjoyed than worrying over stats all the time.

>>1211636>>1211639interesting. now im not sure if mermicornos would have good "technique" or good "magic," but from my understanding, their creative force isnt based on mana (although their gems are) (have watched through ep 10) and they can lose their creative force suddenly for no apparent reason, like from
eating spicy foods ...so "Technique" does seem a potentially-better fit. ...
might see if there is a unicorno show later, but the fact that the mermaidicorn in mermicorno looks and kind-of even acts like a twilught sparkle cosplayer might, the religious symbolism behind the color selection of the different mermaidicorns & the general interaction style is very fun
perhaps they will fly in a later ep ( no spoilers, pls, thx :) )
i was wondering wat the "will" is specifically, though ...
i like the idea of arms:weapon & since the mermicornos seem to getting
something like weapons with the gems, etc. -- could work.
do all attacks depend on the combination of technique/percept/luck or is it situation dependent?
...so it seems you wanted to strike a balance between a rules-focused system and a story-based system? ...i saw a youtube video of some people playing a pirate story-driven system once --forget the name. i have inly a little experience in ttrps -- watched some videos and played a few times with different systems here & there, watched some videos, but thats about it

>Future projects with RPBG.Sonic the HedgehogRight now, I'm making my Sonic RPBG for Tabletop Simulator. It will be released on the Workshop so that anyone with TtS can play it.
Super MarioWhile I'm no fan of Super Mario, I might do a Super Mario version. I like the idea of both games used for crossover adventures.
My Little PonyI might make a My Little Pony version, one that can be used either on TtS or Ponyville's /rp/ board.
My own fantasy setting.My own, original primal-era fantasy world setting. Like Dungeons and Dragons or The Dark Eye (Well, more like Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf), allowing people to have their own adventures around it.
Maybe, as an alternate to the board game aspect of RPBG, make gamebooks as an alternative. "Role-Playing Book-Game", which still fits the acronym. May have to look into the Fabled Lands series or Endless Destinies: The Clockwork City.

My "goal" is to make that test-man a playable character in Godot. Preferably Broser-based.
That shack I made, I'm thinking extending the plane, maybe make it into a scrapyard-like place. I might replace the shack with a more homestead-like place.
I want to present an itch.io link to a test-demo of you playing as that man, exploring the scrapyard, especially with interactive items and scenery.
I might include a pause menu where you can switch to different styles of gameplay.
What would be the point of this demo? To prove I can do it! That and if I wanted to make games in the future, if I had gameplay prepared in advance, I could re-use said gameplay for various projects to save time in development.
But will admit, running out of steam a bit, this is still more progress in game making I have ever done in the past!

But I'm sure I will figure it out eventually.
And if not any time soon, I'll continue work on my Sonic RPBG. Now that the Zone Maps are done, it only takes about twenty minutes to make one of the cards.
(This is the latest one)
The reason why I am redoing all my cards is because I lost the original photoshop files and templates I had so I couldn't make new cards in the original style I had. But now that I am redoing the Skill Cards, I can add more fitting tweaks to them, especially introducing Ring Energy which serves as action points for certain powerful abilities.

>>1211636, it's pretty much a Skill Tree. You spend Experience Points to unlock the abilities you want. This can be done with markers or listing down the abilities you have on notepaper and referring to the Skill Card for details.
Honestly, I'd say it's better than the old cards. The old cards used a font that took up more space, even though it was the kind of font used for the Sonic style-guide. This time round I used plain old Ariel font.

No.1211663
>>1211658>perhaps. would probably be best to play within the bounds of the original design first before thinking about modificationsPerhaps, yeah. While I was mostly adapting from Sonic Heroes' class types, Speed, Power, Fly/Jump along with the addition of Technique are a pretty balanced quaternary of physical attributes.
And while Sonic RPBG doesn't rely on HP or MP, it wouldn't be difficult applying something of the like. The number of Health Points for an individual could be Power+4 or something like that. (The Skill Card for Humans and Zeti have an ability called "Stamina" which is just that, allowing them to be more durable than Mobians and Robots.)
I admit, Sonic RPBG may still have issues which I have overlooked. I'm hoping if I ever finish it and present it on Steam Workshop, I will get feedback on how best to tweak and fix the system.
For example, it's hard to gauge appropriate Difficulty Numbers of enemies and challenges. I believe three is a standard difficulty, but if users will be using their A or S-rank skills, then 7 or 6 would just be skippable at that point. But if I go with 10-12 then it maybe too difficult? i dunno. I'm hoping for feedback.
>perhaps. would probably be best to play within the bounds of the original design first before thinking about modificationsWell, the idea of making my own fantasy setting could be a way to adapt the gameplay for more traditional RPG elements. In the video games, Sonic does not have a traditional Health-gauges or the like, which is why gold rings serve as both health and currency in the game. That would be a feature unique to Sonic RPBG.
If I did make, say, a Super Mario RPBG, I would have to give that game a new health system to represent the games. Such as making three hit-points the standard for all playing characters, given that's traditional to both bosses and Mario since Galaxy.
That or however Legend of the Seven Stars did it. I never played that game.
>maybe some kind of friendship system layer of sortsI believe the Tales of Equestria had something similar. You can choose to represent one of the Elements of Harmony and if you perform any actions to that element, you get a Friendship Token. These tokens can be used to allow for rerolls or skip rolls.

I'm going to add an "Easy Mode" to my Sonic RPBG, where players can choose to play without Skill Cards (or the very least Race Skill Cards), players will be allowed to make up their abilities and combat is still decided on their rolls.
"Standard Mode" could be the choice of playing with Skill Cards for more rounded experience.
I figure an "Easy Mode" will be ideal because:
* Even though you added that it makes sense, you're right it "looks" complicated, and I want my game to appeal to young players, or players who don't have a head for standard TTRPGs. A sort of TTRPG where anyone can easily sit in and understand the rules without the need of an extensive rulebook.
* Fighting Fantasy books don't use abilities or Skill Trees. (Lone Wolf do have Action Charts and "Kai Disciplines" which is a bit to understand), Fighting Fantasy books simply tells you what challenge you're in and to roll Skill or Luck. For RPBG, players could perhaps choose two or three "general skills" that they can have their rolls be around.
Also, Easy Mode is sort of the default for playing the zone maps as board games.
If I were to make Epic Mount an RPBG character, he would be something like:
Speed 5
Power 6
Jump 4
Technique 3
Charisma 2
Knowledge 1
Perception 4
Willpower 5
Luck 3
Earth Pony, monster fighter, forest survivalist.
Perhaps "Magic" would be an added Primary Stat, but I don't know how it would be used by Earth Ponies or Pegasi.

So like, Clarity says:
>>1211741An example of applied Wisdom would be thinking back to how the last time you tried microwave food, it came out soggy and undercooked and you didn't like it, so you decide not to make it in the microwave this time, but instead follow the oven instructions (which most microwave food still has) instead. Or simply decide to order pizza instead.

>>1211746Wisdom really is just about deciding how you want to approach things based on prior knowledge and/or experience. One would say that a person with a high Wisdom score, if such a thing were to exist, would be more likely to make the universally "correct" choice. But of course that implies there IS a universally correct choice and not just a choice that is correct for that individual at any given time.
The idea, however, that Wisdom comes from a god, or the gods, gives you a better understanding of how it might work. A/The God/s would likely know what the outcome of your choice will be before you make it, so they will influence you to make the choice that will give you the best outcome for your circumstance.
But otherwise, if you pull away from gods and the right/wrong choice, someone with high Wisdom would be able to make decisions with the idea that they are doing so with their best interests in mind. Whereas someone with low wisdom would just be making choices without any real consideration for the results.
A dog has low wisdom. It will get sprayed by a skunk because it attacked the skunk, and it will not learn from it's past experience, going back to attack the skunk again and getting sprayed again, because it did not have the wisdom to make a choice with a specific outcome in mind.

>>1211748This is where learning how to play a character based on their stats comes into play.
To a lot of people, their stats are just there to influence the mechanics of the game. And there's really nothing wrong with that. But someone who really wants to roleplay correctly, would look at their stats, especially their mental ones like Wisdom, and make decisions based on that, rather than their own real life stats, so to speak.
So in some cases, yes, choices are decisions the players make, because they're not really interested in fully roleplaying their characters as their stats define them, but rather roleplaying their characters as they as people define them.
It's just different approaches to the game.
Your example doesn't really make sense, because the friendliness of the goblin is not usually determined by the roll of the dice, or the stats of the player. The friendliness of the goblin should be decided based on the goblin's circumstances. A high charisma roll may be able to influence the goblin into a more friendly disposition DESPITE his circumstances, but that's another scenario. In the case of a wisdom roll, the player/character may be like "I think this goblin seems friendly." not necessarily with consideration for their character's wisdom stat. If a player is playing a character who has high wisdom and they are basing their outlook and choices on the stat, then the character might be thinking the goblin is friendly because the character has had experiences with goblins in similar scenarios where the goblin is friendly. They may also be looking at the goblin's expression or body language as well to determine if they are friendly.
However, when the roll comes into play, this is an opportunity for the GM to tell the player whether their assumptions are correct or not. If the player rolls high on their wisdom check, EVEN IF the character has a low wisdom score on their sheet, they will be able to understand that the goblin is friendly, or that the goblin isn't friendly, depending on the scenario the GM is presenting. If I were the GM in that situation, I would say something like "Despite your initial assumption that the goblin is friendly, you actually get a sense that the goblin is not, in fact, friendly." A character who rolls low on their wisdom check, EVEN IF the character has a high wisdom score on their sheet, they will be left entirely to their own initial assumption. If I were the GM in that situation, I would say "Yes, you believe that the goblin is friendly," (With the implication that you believe it because you initially believed it.) regardless of if the goblin actually is friendly. And I would expect the player to continue to play the character with that belief in mind, even if the player is now having second thoughts because of the phrasing or tone the GM used.

>>1211750It's still a bit confusing for me, but I think I get it.
I mean, I still think Intelligence and Wisdom could still be under the same thing, but I get Intelligence is about knowing things while Wisdom is more about the outcome.

But I understand if veteran TTRPGs would scoff at my RPBG gameplay. I can accept that. I grew up with gamebooks. My school never had a TTRPG club nor I had friends interested in such things. It's not because I regarded it nerdy or the like, truth be told I wish I could've grew up with D&D or TDE.
Anyway, I be off to bed, but I might reconsider my thoughts on a My Little Pony RPBG.

So, almost finished with one of my Sonic RPBG Skill Cards but I can't decide on something.
For context:
>Flame Shieldhttps://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Flame_Shield>Thunder Shieldhttps://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Thunder_Shield>Mystic ShieldMystic Shields are unique to the game, they provide protection from Dark and Magic elemental harm.
Originally, Mystic Guard would've turned a regular Barrier Shield (
https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Shield ) into a Mystic Shield, but on the Ice Skill Card, Frost Guard allows you to turn the Aqua Shield (
https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Aqua_Shield ) into another custom shield of mine called the Frost Shield, so I figure it make sense if the Mystic Guard ability made use of one of the other Elemental Shields. But which one?
I would make a third custom shield to make a Guard ability from the other one, but I don't know what shield to make.

• Fire is often used is magical rituals.
• I decided the Thunder Shield will also protect against Light-based attacks, to balance out the Mystic Shield
• The Frost Shield balances out the Flame Shield, and it can only be obtained with the Aqua Guard ability with an Aqua Shield.
• I started working on a new Skill Card called "Toxic", to give the Aqua Shield a secondary means of protection.

>But I'm concerned "Earth Ponies" is trademarked by Hasbrohm..., I asked DeepSeek V3.2 about it and it gave a very interesting answer. It said "Pegasus" and "Unicorn" are 100% safe, while "Earth Pony" is "very likely safe," and seaponies are "likely safe" with a caveat... ..that being that there is a sub-brand called "Sea Ponies," so it can't look like that, I guess. But most interestingly is that they all have historical precedent that predates Hasbro.
...if the question of copyright came up, hasbro would probably try to argue that that specific combination or compilation of types of ponies counted as infringement, or that other elements of the game were too similar ....
...so knowing the historical context and creating lore/a game system that incorporates that would help keep u from getting sued .....

>>1211860>>1211861>Chubbicorns.The chubbicorn idea came in a dream for me, I just put a dark twist on it.
Story in mind is about a teenage girl, whose bedroom with ponies and the like. Then a chubbicorn magically appears before her and invited her to a party at their magical lands.
When they transported her there, it truly is a wonderful place, except, like most '90s Saturday morning cartoons, there was a villain, a mad scientist who tries to kidnap the girl, but the chubbicorns defended her. The chubbicorns says his name was Dr. von Sour Kraut and that he was evil.
The chubbicorns took her to the place where the party was promised, but she had to ask, what was the stone altar was for?
After
horrible things happen to the girl, she wakes up with a Frankenstein-like body, in a dungeon laboratory. It turns out the mad scientist rescued her and attempted to restore her. The scientist said his real name is Professor Wagner, that the chubbicorns call him Dr. Sour Kraut because they're racist. He knew the chubbicorns were the real monsters and tried to save her before.
I don't know what powers the girl will now have, but she uses her powers to get revenge on the chubbicorns. Maybe the ritual of her death cause the chubbicorns to mutate into more powerful forms, but I like the idea of the various boss fights consisting of chubbicorns riding killing machines that look like marketable children's toys.
>A more wholesome pony brand.Before MLP:A New Generation, I had my own idea for MLP G5.
Like A New Generation, a sequel to Friendship is Magic. During Twilight's late reign, a meteor was about to hit Equestria. Even with the combined magic of all pony-population, they couldn't stop the meteor. However, the Tree(house) of Harmony responded to the united magic and, when the meteor hit, quickly erupted and grew to catch the chunks of Equestria in its branches and formed the World Tree. While what happened to Twilight-era ponies were never stated, there were still survivors who lived on the island-worlds in the branches of the tree (called "realms") and, like ANG, were separated by pony-types. However, unlike ANG where ponies lived in fear of the other types, the ponies figure other types of ponies were just myth.
A story could be about an earth pony girl who is struggling to fit in school, but finds a doorway that leads her to the other realms and find friends there.
The unicorns realm is a lot like Quel'Thalas from Warcraft, with Unicorns being sun-worshippers.
The realm of the pegasi is more unique than others given it mostly consist of small floating islands, while still carrying a Greco-Roman style.
Seaponies, I don't really know what their realm would be like other than it's underwater.
If I wanted to turn this into my own pony-brand, it wouldn't be too much effort, given just change the backstory, replace and erase all MLP:FiM elements.
Usually MLP friend-group consist of six ponies, with seaponies being excluded, so I dunno how to balance a sizeable friend-group from four pony-kinds. A friend group of 8 would be a bit too much.

floating islands is one of my favorite concepts, like in magic knight rayearth and the miyazaki movie ... am curious about how the floating islands got there or why the pegasus ponies might need them, since they can presumably walk on clouds
were the seaponies somehow created due to the meteor blast or were they always around?
not usually a fan of the replace & erase strategy unless it's done as parody
waifu sim because it's usually obvious and i find myself directly translation everything which distracts from the game/story ...
earth pony, pegasus pony, unicorn pony (sun worshiper), unicorn pony (moon worshiper), unicorn pony (star worshiper), sea pony, space pony(?), ...maybe ocean trench pony as well & deep-earth pony (lives deep in the earth's crust)?
i liked how the mermicorno
group grew in size over time, as well, stayed steady for a while, then had another expansion near the end of the show...this talk is making me think about starting on a mermicorno game or something now .-.

>>1211871Sun worshipping unicorns could be a tradition that stems from Celestia. But also because the sun is associated with fire and unicorns can perhaps have magic similar to fire.
Pegasi I can imagine as airbenders of sort, able to flap their winds and force the air wherever they want. Their realm is broken into floating islands so flight is a natural requirement for pegasi to get around in their own realm.
the "replace & erase strategy" would simply be for the backstory, if I ever decide to make this world tree idea my own and not have ha$bro breath down my neck over it.
So far, the "realms" in mind are:
>HeartlandsHome of the Earth Ponies. Like MLPTales and Mareitime Bay from MLP:ANG, it is a realm where the Earth Ponies live a more human-like lifestyle, though I may mix it with "crystalpunk" to give the Earth Ponies more of a magical element, as well as an answer for modern commodities. That and crystals being a resource from the earth.
>UnicornucopiaA portmanteau of unicorn and cornucopia.
This realm is inspired by Quel'Thalas from Warcraft. The unicorns are capable of magic which they believe derives from the sun. Like the Blood Elves of Quel'Thalas, prideful and dependant on magic.
>ArchiouranoA portmanteau of archipelego (Greek words arkhi (chief) and pelagos (sea)) and Ouranos (Greek word for sky).
This realm is actually broken apart into floating islands suspended above sky. There is no ocean below these islands, just floating islands above and below a continuous sky. Perhaps the pegasi are no longer cloud-walkers or weather-manipulators, but they possess the power to bend air around them which they use for flight and self defence through gusts of winds. They've build a Greco-Roman inspired civilisation amongst the floating islands that make up the Archiourano.
>Not AtlantisIt just be too easy to make the Sea Ponies home the likes of Atlantis, so I'd rather think of something else to call it. I've yet to decide the architecture of the sea ponies, maybe they use coral and shells as building materials?
>Mirewood ForestInspired by Mirkwood Forest from LotR, and to extension, Everfree Forest.
Similar to Archiourano, it consist of broken pieces of land, only these fragments are lodged in various branches of the World Tree where the forest grew from. Those who know their way through these forests can reach other realms, but it is dangerous given the wild monsters, that and like Lost Woods from Zelda games, direction is just as much of a riddle as the forest itself.
>Palace of Harmony UnityLocated somewhere at the centre of the branches of the World Tree. A palace that has a mural depicting ponies living together on a single world and how a meteor broke that world apart. If this was a sequel to MLP:FiM, then it would've been called the Palace of Harmony and maybe offer some clue on what happened to Princess Twilight.

Yes, expensive as heck, but I want a VR headset to last, and I don't trust Meta.
* While unproven, I'm sure Meta bricked my Oculus Rift S, just so I'd have no "choice" to buy a Meta Quest, which I didn't. If they had not done that, I probably would'nt bother with the Steam Frame. (Though if I was a bit wiser all those years a go, should've gone for the Valve Index.)
* Meta Quest 3 terms of use openly confesses to butt-load of spyware in the headset to harvest as much data they can from VR users. VALVe simply refuse to collect data.
Yes, I am disappointed in the price when VALVe promised it will be cheaper, and yes, HL:Alyx for free isn't special if it was for free for Valve Index six years a go and to everyone who already purchased the game (It's currently 75% off in the Steam Store). But I want a new VR headset that's cutting edge and will last me for a long while even after better headsets are available in a few years time. I'm not a collector, I don't chase after the latest VR headsets, I just want the one good headset to last.

Originally Poisonous and Corrosive was going to be the one ability under the name "pick your poison" where it was one or the other, and had to spend a ♦ to switch between the two. But I doubt many Sonic RPBG players will choose humans and zeti as playable characters for the Stamina ability that it won't matter much if Corrosive can be used with Poisonous.
I'm thinking the A-abilities should be attacks of sorts, but I imagine favouring more blanket methods over dealing damage, given Poisonous and Corrosive will be doing most of the work. As in, this skill would perhaps be favoured by those who want a plaguemaster approach.
I also can't decide if some of the A-abilities should use explosives, or if I should introduce canisters of Mega Mack as a requirement for those abilities.
(As for what Mega Mack is,
https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Mega_Mack It's kind of like a synthetic chemical manufactured by Dr. Eggman for the sole purpose of poisoning and pollution.)

I decided to combine Poisonous and Corrosive, I just hope I worded it as clearly as I can given the limit of the space.
To sum it up, when you unlock the ability, your target will get continued harm from your Toxic-based attacks if they fail a Willpower roll. the Toxic player may choose that harm to be either rings (the primary health and currency in the game) or HP (secondary health from humans and zeti). Players can choose either rings or HP, but not both, and must spend a ♦ to switch from one or the other.
Does the instruction look clear?

🎲✔= Roll succeed

♦ = Experience Point (what you spend to unlock abilities)
I have to use icons due to the limited space of each square. Instead of saying "If roll succeeds", I can instead say "If 🎲✔" which takes up less space.
To sum up with "Pick your poison" says:
>Pick your poisonChoose either
rings or
HP for your toxic attacks. Those harmed must roll Willpower. If roll fails, they loose 1-3 of HP or rings for six turns. You must spend an Experience Point to switch HP/Rings.

The whole idea for skill cards is to avoid the use of complex character sheets from standard tabletop roleplaying games, that players just need:

* 2 or 3 skill cards, with Exp. point markers.

It's actually more difficult making brand-new Skill Cards (Such as ☣Toxic) for coming up with brand new abilities that are both practical but not game-breaking.

>>1211983It was more a general statement, not directed at you.
But yeah, I think I'd have forgotten too.

>>1211989The Home Guard is, technically, a volunteer group - basically people who will step in in a crisis to assist the military should something happen in various local areas. So they do basically have to be ready to "get up and go" whenever called for.
It's not like these drills are super common, it just happens that one of them took place around here this time.

Just got home from watching a 25th anniversary showing of Shrek at the theatre. Still a good movie!

>>1211996Honestly I don't remember if I saw it at the cinema. I actually think I saw it on video back then... But it was great fun nevertheless.
I look forward to Pirates of the Caribbean; I bet they will show it again in two years.
No.1211999
>>1211997Oh I am certain they will.
It's crazy to think back on just how a big deal those movies were back then considering people only rarely refer to them now outside of Jack Sparrow jokes.
Or how Kiera Nightley and Orlando Bloom were all peoplet alked about for like two years as if they were gonna be the biggest stars ever an then they just didn't do a damn thing most folks have heard of since.

>>1211998You should watch it again!
>>1211999Good for them honestly, they could just do whichever movies they like and interest them at that point.
No.1212001
>>1212000Pretty much. I just have some fun sometimes reminding people of them, and then asking them if they know literally any other thing they've done.
And to be fair, I don't either. That's why it's fun to bring up.

>>1212001I haven't see anything new with Bloom in ten years, almost twenty for Knightley.
Bloom is Legolas and Will Turner, and Knightley is Elizabeth Swann. That's it.
I bet they did great performances in all their other movies, but I usually just watch the bigger films.
No.1212003
>>1212002Exactly. Btu they're both still working and are in plenty of stuff. Just the only thing anyone really knows about is the occasional LOTR / Pirates reunion.
Man, this really just reminding me of the times I've poked some holes in peoples' perceptions of certain movie stars.
Not out of being mean, mind you. Just, when you're the "movie guy" in social circles, you get asked questions, and your answers aren't always gonan be what people expect.

>>1212003I have a friend like that. He owns hundreds of movies on and has a really deep memory of them. I bet he knows some of the more obscure stuff - as long as it's not too artsy.
Bed time for me, night night!
