This RPG is set in the land of Equestria after it has been conquered and split between the Changelings and a foriegn fascist nation. It is based in large part on the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&D 3.5 mechanics
4 of the group have taken a job to clear a site of a future real estate development of undead. They seem to have stumbled upon a centuries old evil long forgotten by Equestria. Meanwhile, Ash has discovered foals from the order of Saint Prancis orphanage practicing dark magic and sacrifices in the woods, while Iron is having not-so-pleasant dreams

Southeast was where I was picturing it. Somewhere on the east side if Celestial sea, South of Griffonstone (which I think became Griffonia, if I'm not mistaken).
Whatever it is is fine, so long as it's got dragons, mountains, and is at least partly isolated from the other races.
Do you have a link to the mod? I'd like to see it, just so I know about the existing continents.
Fuck! I deleted the wrong post.

Iron is very taken aback from the sudden change of the image. He stops stroking his member, not cool with it His ears are drooped and he's frowning as hard as a pony's face could muster. "Ugh, I cannot even let off some steam now? Now that is just great."
It was funny.

Fug. That's bigger than I thought it'd be.
Kind of weird how the Changelings have so much territory though, considering they're dependant on other creatures for sustainence send the show implied they were pretty limited in number.
Video game logic, I guess.

She should have tried that before she attacked equestria then.
I never would have imagined the changeling's territory to be any bigger than the Crystal Empire, but I guess they had to balance the game somehow.

Especially considering most of their land is unsuited for industrial development. Especially in the north, where states with zero building slots are common.
The primary advantage they have against Equestria in the Great War is that Equestria takes time to fully mobilize for war, so the longer the Changelings can delay the Great War against Equestria before Equestria can mobilize on its own, the greater the chances the Changelings have at winning. Otherwise, Equestria will just end up steamrolling them, if they declare war too early or too late.

You'd think the race that micromanages the sun, moon and weather would have the biggest advantage when it comes to Defending their territory.

It's a bit difficult when all you have in terms of weapons are some rifles against a fully-mobilized army of tanks and motorized infantry.
>>78707
Unless a full-scale civil war between Restorationists, Communists, and the Black Hooves starts up, I don't think there will be many warplanes involved.

I never really imagined Changelings to be very inventive creatures. They seemed to be mostly hive-minded in the show, never shown using nearly as many tools as ponies did.
Also, motorized infantry is no match for ponies who could fuck-up an entire army by causing a blizzard or unrelenting rain and wind: it'd be like invading Russia in the Winter.
But again, video game logic.
Tbh, it looks like we're going to have to wait for quite a while until the conflict is settled in this story, considering we're level 5 and don't have any XP yet.
As far as I can tell, the story won't really be finished until Chrysalis is defeated and the princesses are freed, but that will probably take quite a while. I at least want to finish these sidequests to get some levels, then use my divination at lvl 7 to try to jump-start the story by scrying on key characters.
I had hoped the conflict resolution wouldn't involve a literal civil war, because I'm not exactly specialized in killing off freaking armies, nor would my character want to if she could avoid it. I get Transport Via Plants at lvl 11, and that could be helpful for party travel, since most forests in the universe have names and are adjacent to urban centers.

I'd be lying if I said I've been following it closely.. if I read too much about other characters separate experiences, i'll find it hard to resist metafagging..

We'll probably have to wait until we can survive out in the surrounding forests. I imagine any actively-participating Restorationists are probably hiding out in mobile camps out there, constantly on the run from Black Hooves search parties.

I've got quite a few spells that make surviving in the forest easy. Pass Without Trace is a 1st level spell for me too, so I could make the party virtually impossible to find in a forest; Druids are impossible to track, because of their Trackless step class feature.
Most survival checks are 15-20 DC, so I can take 10 on most checks that would be required to keep a party safe/sheltered/hidden/fed. Dark Star is a Ranger, so I HOPE he maxed out survival.
The forest provides.

Trail rations are pretty cheap. And again, I can take 10 on survival to provide for 7 people.
>>78722
Idk, I just know my character is better off in the forest than in the city because of her class abilities. I just want to find these kids first.
Also, I don't think she's very well off remaining in territory controlled by blackhooves.

Once we unite the party and maybe finish that one mission so those of us who are strapped for cash can get some Bits, I'm certain everyone would be willing to help Ash find the other foals.

Wouldn't stop anyone else from buying stuff though.

Let a man, dream
Iron rolls his eyes for his part. "Sorry I take too long," he mumbles. He regains his composure and keeps up the Lightning Foreleg Stroke Attack on his member once more. Rolling fortitude yet again, which I should be able to fail for once after 6 rolls.

Replace the queen?
I guess that means we'll have to find someone non-aggressive to replace her, if we're ever going to get around to saving the world.

In the mod, if Equestria wins and puppets the Changeling Lands, Thorax becomes leader of the Free Changeling Hives. No skittlebugs, thankfully.
>>78732
>Why would the jungles not be Black Hooves territory but Baltimare is?
I think they mean that the Black Hooves' control of the forests and jungles is much weaker than their control over the city.

Iron sighs heavily. Finally, he thought he would have never get rid of that erection. Hope she liked the output, at least. He drops down from the tree trunk somewhat tired, landing on all fours. "Well, that about does it. I should be able to sleep now." Iron begins his trek back into the abbey.

Well, I thought they wouldn't really have adequate control over the jungle, since it's a jungle and it's hard to navigate by definition.
Not that I actually know what the situation in the world is though. I'm just trying to figure out the next step for my character. I just hoped for a plan that didn't necessarily involve direct confrontation.

Iron chuckles. Wonder if this is good enough for that jade-eyed mare. He really hopes she would at least help her out with some favors from that feat of potency. She surely made the yellow-eyed changeling lick his shaft for something, right? He ponders this as he reaches the abbey.

Iron opens the abbey door he assumes he has reached and enters the building, fully intent on sleeping now after that show he put out there. The nuns shouldn't care too much that a tree is covered in semen after all.

Well, you do seem kind of busy.
Iron reaches his bedroom. He now lays on top of the bed, eager for sleep to take him now. He may or may not have further dreams of the jade-eyed, yellow-maned creature, but he is excited about future prospects from those creatures. He may have a big ace on his sleeve for Ash's quest.

Iron nods off, peacefully sleeping until he feels well-rested again.
I guess it goes to me too. Sleep tight everyone

The yellow-maned mare is but a figment of Iron’s subconscious imagination, a cross between tales of body snatchers told him by village elders, and posters on the walls of the Eastside tavern. But what they represent is all too real. Anypony, anywhere, anytime

Silver isn't quite asleep, yet. Instead, he's still in the tavern, trying to figure out why Star and Skies are acting all strange all of a sudden.
Oh, I picked up some traits for Iron since I have nothing else to do. These are slow (+1/halve movement speed), abrasive (+1 Intimidate, -1 Diplomacy and Bluff) and relentless (+2 fortitude save vs tiring, if fail, exhausted), just to add some spice to the character. I also removed 4 skill points from jump and climb and redistributed them to Handle Animal because hey, why not?
