I've only played RPG Video Games at this point...

I've made simple dice programs in TI-Basic out of sheer boredom before. It's easy, just prompt for sides, prompt for number of dice, plug variables into randInt(. Voila! I even added a bit more randomness to the reseeding, using getKey and the RNG to generate a seed based on the keycode of the button you pressed to restart.

You know, I've been wondering, how come Ponyville is the city with the largest proportion of females to males? I mean, both Canterlot and Cloudsdale had quite a few male background ponies...

For die rolls in some D&D games I used to play, I remember using Invisible Castle

. You can have it roll however many sides you need, and have it roll multiple times in one go. Or roll a combination of different kinds of dice if needed (say, one for attack and the other for damage, assuming it hits).

But the real reason Invisible Castle is good for rolling is that you can post the results and prove you're not just fudging the numbers.

Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to befriend everyone you meet.

Moar males have been showing up, but I dunno.

"As you trot along the country side, you come across a well-groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you see... a gazebo.

I examine the garden. Are there any daffodils?

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

Yeah... the population has slowly been evening itself out as the show goes on. We're close to an even split now, at least.

I have a dice command in Pidgin that I rarely use, but is nice to have. of course, it just sends it to chat as a /me, so is easy to fudge

Most of the mares in Ponyville are gay, so the stallions all moved to larger cities.

That or it was just easier to create female models when they started making the show.

You guys talking about tabletop gaming? I've been gming for a good 12 years now. I wish my crew would get it together so we can start playing again.

Whats this play by post thing about? What system, or is it pure roleplaying?

#144414 Perpetual Lurker Mon, 2nd Apr '12 7:46:20 PM

There are quite a few sites out there with forum systems built for play-by-post games in mind. My personal favorite is Rpol.net

. It has dice rollers built in, as well as space for character sheets, and allows the GM to organize threads however they want for things like split groups and OOC discussion.

We're not sure about the system yet. I'm leaning towards some sort of simple homebrewed D20 system, but if anyone can come up with something I'd be glad to use it.

So give me the short version. How does it play? Describe it.

#144416 ilsemmr Mon, 2nd Apr '12 7:48:01 PM from Austin

Yeah, they do seem to be kind of evening the gender balance out. Although it's kind of striking watching an episode in Ponyville and comparing it to Canterlot...

I don't have any experience with systemed R Ps, besides having read the rules to Microlite20 and rolling a character.

#144419 kegisak Mon, 2nd Apr '12 7:49:30 PM

You think that's weird, try going back and watching the first few episodes. You could probably count the stallions on one hand... if you even needed that many.

#144420 crowlover Mon, 2nd Apr '12 7:50:41 PM

Debated about doing this one, but
