Welcome to Thieves World, the Rp based of a series of anthology novels of the same name. If you know what thieves world is great but you if don't just hold your ponies I will explain.
But first a couple of things. First this is kind complex RP so you need to have some experience in Rping. Second I changed the empires a bit so we could feature ponies in it yay. third I was do not plan to use the established characters from the series because of continuity and it would confused the new players. And lastly this is not a survival Rp so you don't need to search every single room you come in.
Setting: After years of what it looks like a never ending war the Griffins finally took hold of the pony empire. Now ponies have to obey the Griffin and their king though that is not the focus of our story. Our story starts in a trading city called Sanctuary. (Best way of describe the city I would say a giant Mos Eiley full of thieves and cut throats and all the lovely stuff) In this particular city there is a lot of political tension between those who support the New Empire, those who support the Old Empire, and those who want complete anarchy and turn the city essentially into a City Estate. Besides that it is also happening the witch hunt, where unicorns suspected of consulting with demons are to be hanged. You start the game as a refugee entering the city for the first time.
Healing/Health: In this game healing is not like most of D20 games where you use healing spells and there you go 8 hp back, no healing here is very hard it's very dark ages where if you got a sword wound you might die and even if you survive you'll still have a giant scar across your chest. So healing is almost non-existent.
Combat: Like almost everything in this game I will roll a D20 and you guys do your actions. 20 is good 1 is bad. (I try to keep this simple because the game is already complex as it is) Remember in this RP the enemies don't start easy and then they become harder, no in this game the enemy has the same chance to kill you. So due to the healing factor and the enemy actually has a chance of killing you combat should be used always as a last resort
Persuasion/barter: This will be a great part of this game most of conflicts can be resolved by persuasion but persuasion here doesn't work as simply you roll a 20 and you win, no the way it works is 50% of your chance of succeeding is the die the other is your persuasion to the person. Yeah you have to find a creative way to persuade this person or even barter for product on a shop. So half is your luck half is your ability to persuade someone.
Magic: Unlike most of D20 magic cannot be fired at will in this game. Magic in this game requires a lot of preparation like chanting and making symbols on the ground and rituals. Example "I want it to rain today" You put candles around a map, drop a bit of water in it and start chanting for about 20 minutes. And by god is gonna rain today, or you wanna cast lighting from the skies that's a more powerful version of that spell you do the same thing place a marker on the map chant for an hour and soon enough lighting hits that guy's house. So magic is powerful but you need to prepare it. If you wanna play as a mage you need to prepare ahead.
Alchemy: Because playing as a mage who can only fight if he has spells ready would be really boring so players especially mages can use alchemy to make different poisons or greek fire, and even acid flasks (imagine throwing that at a dude's face)
I think I covered the basics okay so let's go to character creation
Name:
Race:
Earth ponies: Most citizens of Sanctuary nothing really important about them ![]()
Pegasus: Normally thieves living in the slums of the city and stealing from the rich and giving to the poor keeping for themselves
Unicorns: Shunned by society due to their magic often accused of making deals with demons and witchcraft
Griffin: Probably the most hated race among those who support the Old Empire
Class: (I'll keep it simple just because it's already too much going on)
Warrior
Rogue/Thief
Mage (Unicorn only)
Political Belief: Griffin Empire, Pony Empire, City Estate or none
Personal Belief: (Do you consider yourself to be a noble person neutral or you're just out for self interest, remember this might go well with your bio)
Bio: (Please we are probably all in high school at least a paragraph for your bio)
Description: (Picture or a brief description)
Life Time Goal: (This is probably the most important it will most likely dictates where the story will go)
One last note I'l be using this to roll the die rolz.org, and only my rolls count other than that please don't just go one liners it really brakes the mood, and don't let all those rules and concepts scare you, this should be fun and enjoyable experience.
I'll see you all in Sanctuary. Farewell
EDIT: Sorry forgot to put description
