Version 1.21 Finally up!

FINALLY!

Two weeks.
Two long weeks, Wastelanders, since the promised deadlines were missed. 
But cheer up, everypony, the CARAVANS ARE COMIN'!

Here's the new version as a word document, fresh off the presses:


Note the huge size increase in the document.  Will compress pictures in the near future for ease of use, but it's increased in size by about another 50 pages.  The full doc looks like it might go all the way out past 550! Wow, I never imagined this project would get so large. 

...and with it, a nifty addition for characters who can't fit it all on their sheet:



The Changelog has been updated appropriately. See below.


New to v1.21
- Moved attributes ahead of hindrances and traits (for logical reasons)
- Moved Filling out your Character sheet near the beginning of the character creation section (for logical reasons)
- Racial Summary Sheet (Yeah, completely reworked the entire opening chapter.  I guess I really love changing page numbers in the ToC.)
- Racial overhauls for balance.  All non-magic races got buffed like whoa.  Female minotaurs don't have horns. 
- SERIOUS explosives and AOE damage overhaul.
- Stealth Field Overhaul (Making it easier to use, hopefully)
- Character Sheet Update
- Update the Character Sheet Guide pictures to match the Mk XIII sheet. 
- Dying of teleportation shunting
- Disabling Machines
- Buffs to shock, electricity and fire effects. 
- Changed linked skill penalties to +/- 5 per attribute point instead of +/- 3. 
- Finishing up Diseases!
- Overhauls and adds to the spells list
- Perk Adds/Mods (limiting intense Training to five), Scent, Can you Do that?
- A few weapons were modified to improve their effectiveness or clarity. 
- Additional Explanation added to Ghoul/Alicorn radiation dependency.
- Aerial Maneuvers Section added
- Making BBEGs added to the Gm's guide.  What a large oversight that was.
- CYOC Template (Create your own Creature!)
- First Monster Stat block - Protectapony. 
- (only in word doc) Added character sheet supplement

Blog Formatting Update

Hello There!

I can confirm a release date of next week for the great big update - I'm so excited to finally get this one out!  But that's not why I'm posting.

The blog has been reformatted to look better.  Special thanks to Glitcher007, who allowed the use of his Ministry of Awesome background.  You should all go and give his DeviantArt a look see, if you haven't already. 

Significant updates are now included (that I was going to push off) to One Trick Pony for both Unicorns and Zebras to make Little Pip's antics make a bit more sense.  I also added or modified a couple of perks based on playtester suggestions and the new PH update, so characters can take "Scent" as a perk. 

Need to go and put monsters into a template so they look nice and usable for y'all, so I'll wrap this up.  Changelog will be posted after I've locked down everything finally, probably by  this Friday.  Carry on, wastelanders!

Character Sheet Updates/Status update

Hey there, Internet!

Sorry for the delay, but this isn't the final update. 

When the final update DOES come, it'll be a HUGE one - lots of revamps planned, and quite a lot of new content added in multiple sections as well as substantial edits to organization to help first time gamers get their game on easier.  (This is the largest gap I've had between updates since I started this project!) At current, however, I'm waiting on deliverables from a few of my helpers, including a very substantial amount of Flight Maneuvers (Mister Swiftmane, I'm lookin' at you!).  And people tell me to delegate more...

What this is, however, is a character sheet update.  The "Mark-Thirteen" character sheet  and its rainbow-connection equivalent have been posted to the links page.  The old outdated ones are no longer available (sorry!). 

The new sheet streamlines the armor diagram, replaces the old attribute roll penalties with (less severe) temporary attribute penalties, and makes the weapons information box sync more easily with the document weapons listed tables. 

Enjoy!  Hopefully I can get 1.21 out by Easter for your viewing pleasure.  If you're interested in seeing a preview of the unfinished new version, you can contact me through this blog (or on DeviantArt, if you found me through there.) 

Stay Classy, Equestrian Wasteland.

Howdy!

New episode is up, and Applejack is less of a background pony. 
In honor of her being useful on-screen for a change, I've posted the PDF-configured version.
Now with bookmarking and formatting edits!

Enjoy! 
Now if you'll please excuse me, I owe someone a very large cookie of the baked-goods sort.

v1.20 Posted - Happy Holidays!

Merry Belated Christmas (winter solstice, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, etc.)! 

Here's a new system update for you all.  This version has eleven example characters.  While only the .docx format is currently up, I should have a bookmarked .pdf version available in the next couple of days (thanks to my wonderful volunteer elf, J.M.).  Changelog is now up to date, and lots of plans for the future are mentioned therein.


Apologies for not getting this up closer to Christmas day (it was going to be my present to the internet), but I was without internet until yesterday due to familial politics. 

Note: Next change log will be removing all of the log data before version 1.15.  Just a heads up!

Stay tuned!  This will be the last update before the new year, and I'll have to take a break for a few weeks to move a bit and start a new job, but version 1.21 should be ready for action around mid-January.

Have a Happy New Year!

Official Changelog

Here is a link to the official change log.  It records all versions of the main rules document (undated). 

Fallout Equestria RPG Changelog v1.19+Planning

Because this isn't a 350+ page word document (Yay, tables), it shouldn't have any trouble loading in google docs. 


Much like the rules document, there's a bit of silliness included in there to make it more engaging to read (and to preserve my fragile sanity as I write it).  Enjoy!

Welcome! Fallout Equestria RPG Blog

Welcome!
This blog will be dedicated to the ongoing work being done to create a fully-fleshed out RPG system covering the Fallout Equestria universe, created by Kkat.  A reading of the original fiction may aid your enjoyment and understanding.

Since the conclusion of that lovely piece of fiction, the system's scope has grown to include many facets of the Fallout Equestria universe in other popular fictions, such as Heroes, Project Horizons, Pink Eyes, and more.

This blog's first posting marks the 1 year anniversary of my beginning work on this project, and it has since been in closed-beta testing with multiple player groups for more than 6 months.  Now I'm making moves to open it to whoever wants access.

As a legal disclaimer, the RPG system here references material from the works of many different authors as well as intellectual property under the ownership of bethesda inc., and while much of this material has been referenced without explicit permission, the product its being used to create is non-profit.  This RPG system is not for sale, and is published under creative commons, share and share alike.

Without further ado, here's the first link to the system document.  Requires Microsoft Word 2010 or later to view.  A PDF version  of the document will eventually become available.

Fallout Equestria: RPG, Version 1.19 Complete

If you'd like to contact me directly about the system, feel free to leave a a comment as to where or how you can be contacted, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

As a parting note, this system is not currently finished.  Version 1.19 represents a little over a year's worth of work, but I continuously update the system to keep it up to speed with updating fictions and the changes made to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic canon.
