Tips for Playing in the World of Tales from Equestria

• While the story and world are based on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, enough time has passed that no one from the show would still be alive except for Alicorns and Dracoequus. Enough time has passed that the events of the show are likely legend to some degree and may not be accurately remembered by all.
• Society has advanced from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but not as much as you might except due to setbacks caused by Wild Magic. Think of the technology as being sort of "magic-punk". Much of society runs on magic or magic-infused items. They may not have television or cellphones, but they may have other means of entertainment or communication that fill a similar role using magical means.
• You can interact with the danger of the world as much or as little as you wish. Plenty of ponies will live in safe areas such as Canterlot or Ponyville and never really experience the peril of Wild Magic. How much of an influence this new world has on your character's everyday life is up to you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my character be related to a canon character from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?

We are currently not allowing this, if only because we don't want people to conflict with one another in their histories and end up arguing/fighting over it. You are welcome to have your character related to clans or broader groups of ponies, though.

What if I want my character to be really powerful/have really good stats and abilities when I bring them in?

You can do this, but you'd need to do the art for them to level them up appropriately ahead of time. This is essentially like doing "backstory" work to get your character to where you want them to be. But there is no direct short-cut to leveling up characters.

Can I do art/writing of other player characters or NPCs to earn Progress Points and Horseshoes?

Absolutely! You may always do pieces of NPCs. To feature another player's character, make sure you ask permission first.

I'm stuck on what colors to use with my Random Color Hex Code color, please help!

This website is an excellent tool to help if you're stuck! It lets you put in a coor and generate a variety of palettes based upon it!

I hate the color the generator gave me!

Fear not! You have to use the color somewhere in the design, but it doesn't have to be the main color. Use it in a small spot if you really don't like it.
