Occupied Equestria - Hazardous Crossing

Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where the Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures because of their encounters with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics

Shimmering Spark, Onyx Steel, and Brie Achtungsex now make the perilous crossing into the Changeling Lands. In Baltimare, Dark Star prepares for his next big assignement, while Silver concludes his mentoring of traumatized foals. Much further away, Iron stands under jeweled nighttime skies, preparing his next move

Silver leans back in his chair and closes his eyes, as if reminiscing on some past memory. "I wanted to be adventurer. I wanted to be big, brave pony who would face all kinds of different monsters, brave ruins for gold and jewels, help ponies..." He sounds almost sad on that last part. "I do not know, just listening to those stories of legendary ponies who would risk life and limb to protect those who can not protect themselves, who would explore every corner and crevasse this world had to offer, who would learn about those legends who had come before and add to their legacy with their own deeds of valor...it stuck with me. It is part of reason I trained so much under my father."

Silver gives her a sad, understanding look before continuing. "When I turned 18, and left home to find my dream, it did not take me long to find that those stories I had heard in my youth were just that: stories, of long-dead and ancient ponies who had already made their fortunes, who had already explored the world over. There was no more room for adventurers like me. I almost went broke, and would have been forced to retreat back home, tail between my legs, when I finally found work which made use of my skills. Courier work, guard duty, teaching certain ponies lessons. It was rarely heroic work, and at times...unsavory, to put it lightly, but it payed well enough. I survived, but it felt...wrong. Even when I helped ponies likes that, I was not doing it because it was good, or because it was right thing to do, but because I was getting payed. It became more about money than anything, and as much as part of me was sick at this realization...what could I do? I felt like I was slowly losing myself, having to put aside my morals just to survive."

"I suppose so." Silver lets out a sigh, but he smiles at Blue Skies. "Listen, I just want to thank you again. You, Dark Star, everypony else I have met over these past few days I would consider my friend. You all have kept this old stallion grounded and sane. I could not ask for better companionship, or better companions."

Finance. I'm actually a fraud and not actually an economist, I just like to read economics books more than business news.

Well, there have been many very interesting happenings. I've linked some of my favorite posts that I have written, mostly world-building and exposition. Not to say that more interesting things have not happened, but those are strewn over many, many posts. The players have also contributed many interesting posts of dialogue and actions. Those too, are worth reading.

Brie, Onyx, and Spark are on an expedition to go far north and into the Changeling lands, entering from the city of bales. They had an encounter with rebel soldiers on the train to Canterlot and Bales, and helped ponies get across the border. Silver has helped give therapy to a pair of traumatized foals (from the Comte sex dungeon), and has cleared out the remainder of the catacombs.

Iron is an adventure to the south looking for treasure in the jungle. He has encountered Pear Faucet, a professor from Mistkatonic University who was one of the survivors of an expedition that was attacked by bandits. They have also met a Dr. Grant, another professor from the same.

Dark Star gone to try to find some leaks in the collaborationist government, specifically the police department
