The Great War! Edition
previous thread: >>42970136
Fallout Equestria, a story that bleeds two franchises together to build something magical. On one side, you have death, destruction, decay, and misery - on the other, you have ponies. Doesn't sound like it should mix? You'd be surprised. When the world around you is wasteland, all you're left with is hope, and as we all know, ponies can do spectacular things with just a little hope.
Read Fallout Equestria by Kkat to appreciate the setting that many writers have then lent upon after being so captivated by the wonders.
The original story which spawned its own fandom can be found here: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/119190/
These next four stories comprise the rest of what is considered "the big 5", alongside the original. They were biggest hitters early in the fandom, be it for having started before many others, their length, or overall quality.

Though, a reminder; just because these are the most well known, that isn't to say that there aren't other stories out there! There are many hidden gems that simply don't get the love they deserve purely because people don't give them the chance. Why not open your heart and try to find a new favorite? Anons are absolutely welcomed and encouraged to return with fic discussion of even the most obscure fics!
Fan games:
>Fallout Equestria: Remains
A Fallout Equestria Roguelike. It is the best thing to come of the fandom recently. Seriously go play it https://foe-remains.gitlab.io/main_en.html
>Balefire Blues

I believe BJ started listening to it on the ride back home from the moon. Which was also that scene where her 12 year old friend whose dad just died was fucking a middle aged stallion 5 feet away from her and BJ made some excuse that her being old enough to want it makes her old enough to get it. Now that I think about it there's no way that scene doesn't break other rules. I'm going to go check.

Okay so it turns out pedophilia is totally fucking allowed on fimfic if they're not humans. How does that make it more acceptable? Now it's just pedophilia + bestiality.
Also reminder that fimfic presents itself as a children's website.

>>43109096
Ah, you're right, the text document I was searching in had fucked up formatting. It is at the very end of chapter 74. And it is completely unchanged to the Johnny Cash version. Yeah, rules are rules. You don't deserve it, Somber, but the story has to go. I cannot report it because I never made an FimFiction account, so somebody else has to take on the burden, you have to. Yes. (You).

How would you all feel about someone reading Chapter 9 onward of M#7, without the cool editing and substantially worse voice acting and audio quality?
I don't want to wait for BeSharp anymore, I don't want to listen to the TTS, nor do I want to pay for the privilege of listening to someone I've never heard of reading it either.
It won't be great, nor comparable to BeSharps stuff but I think I finally have a decent enough handle on Audacity (read: 10 minutes of learning the controls) to take a crack at it myself.

The book is mostly silent on that, but if there was enough anti-government effort on both sides, then, logically, the war would not have escalated this far. It is safe to infer from the outcome that both Pinkie and her zigger counterparts were super effective.
>>
>>
>>43112279
Everyone was sick and tired of sending their loved ones to die in what was a pointless war over coal and sought to blame the Main Six and the ministries, some saw the writing on the wall after the creation of the Megaspells and simply wanted to be on top with Zebras like what we saw with that one company that worked with the Zebras to nuke Manehatten, I think like the biggest example of traitors would be the Pegasus Enclave and they turned traitor because the Pegasi were the Equestrian air force and they faced not only the worst of the war by being forced to throw hands with fucking dragons but they also had the highest causality rate because of this, Cloudsdale was the straw that broke the Camels back causing the Enclave to succeed from Equestria as it was being nuked by Megaspells.

Fallout Resurrection is definitely the Project Horizons of classic mods. So much murder, rape, child murder, etc. Plus the amount of people I have to kill to get the 'good' endings for places.

Yeah and that would've been another year of countless Pegasi lives being spent to defeat the Zebras, like the issue is just the Pegasi had enough of dying in a resource war for a resource they didn't even need what would winning the war even give them besides more lives being needlessly wasted.

Yes, but they will all die if the Zeebs win. All of them, painfully. The ponies are eldritch infidels in need of purging to the last for them. Deserting a your countrymen in a lost war is not treason, just selfish.

Awful addition. Too much self insert in that area, with the whole "he was actually behind everything lmao", hell, somber should also have left the mane six mostly alone instead he went full shitty fanfic writer in that area, which is really fuckin odd considering how well he did with actual barely touched characters or with the non shitty fanfic tier OCs. Not the only problem of PH, sadly.
Man I'd love for PH to have like, an actual like, overhaul? Just cuz of how good the good parts are, and how bad the shit part mess the whole thing. Like this if you cry evry tiem.

Czech fangame set right after FO1 in New Mexico. You play as an amnesiac and have to figure out who you are. Main plot involves ghouls doing nefarious things.
Not as many custom assets as the Russian mods but the writing is very good, it's very well scripted and the combat encounters are very challenging.

>>43114848
The problem with an overhaul is that a proper one would require the story to be written without mental illness playing a factor and if you remove the mental illness, the bad parts wouldnt be nearly as bad, but a lot of the good parts wouldnt be nearly as good
I think you really just need to take PH as it comes and appreciate the good parts while also appreciating the mindset and insanity of somber, like an author case study, during the bad ones

Goldenblood is like the biggest example of why PH world building kinda sucks, like don't get me wrong when Somber writes stuff that aren't massive giant retcons that completely change Og FOEs lore and story its really well written, the Sand dogs, the Highlanders, the Reapers hell everything with the Hoof is really good in terms of lore, but the moment Somber writes anything Great War related its mostly ass the Marauders are the only piece of his prewar lore I actually like everything else with the Great War like instead this being great tragedy of poorly made decisions genuinely made with ultraistic and noble intentions mothballing to the fall of two great nations in the last day, Somber just decided instead to make the Great War some schizo plot that was being puppeteered by evil masterminds since before the war even started, and this wouldn't be as bad if Somber didn't have everything that happened during the war was retconned to be done by either as said evil masterminds, Goldenblood himself or someone that Goldenblood knew completely.

Somberchad is a genius compared to that fat dyke Kkat though.

I had ten times more fun reading PH than the original FOE.

You answered your own question. Blackjack is a character, Littlepip is an empty husk the author retroactively attempted to apply existence to, and poorly. There is a reason the only real discourse about Littlepip is calling her a murderer, it's the only thing she does that involves any tangential approach to having a motivation or personality.

Blackjack is a walking pile of mental trauma. In real life, people who are suicidal behave exactly the same way. But despite all that, she’s still trying to make things better. BJ is a well-written character.

Blackjack's only 'bad' because her character is inconsistent.
She's 'not a clever pony' but the only one concerned with the mystery of Goldenblood and EC-1101, and the de facto team leader. She's constantly lamenting her fate and wishing for a better way but is the only one advancing the story. And she's an emotional wreck over killing other ponies, but keeps putting herself in circumstances where she needs to kill to survive.
All this is fixable if Somber gave Blackjack a proper character arc in PH. Have her start off dumb, but gain wisdom and knowledge as she explores Hoofington. Make her fearful, even a little cowardly, but gain a sense of duty over time. Have her morality evolve from the naïve "killing is always awful" to a more nuanced, accepting but morally grey position.
Of course, this would all require Somber to be a competent writer and not a self-destructive sadist.

>>43121526
I don't want to attribute evil to incompetence but the way somber writes past a certain point screams "LOOK AT HOW MANY WORDS MY FIC HAS WAY MORE THAN KAKAT'S FIC AND ANYONE ELSES I AM THE SUPERIOR BIGGEST FALLOUT EQUESTRIA WRITER"
I remember, before I'd ripped the PH, BJack randomly just fuckin, leaving to go do a FoE PH dlc and happening to stumble across another main quest part afterwards.
If imma be nice, Somber may have wanted to introduce new concepts constantly which bloated and RAPED the story. Hell many of the concepts added are not bad, but should have been their own short story, instead of bloating PH.
>>
>>43121526
You can add nuances to a "killing is always awful" character either by poking exceptions in "always" (killing is bad, but if I have orders from people with serious faces, or bought a blank indulgence, or feel funny when I'm killing, then it's alright) or by leaving "always" intact but making the alternatives worse. The latter is closer to what I imagine when people talk about grey morals. The former fits stories about speedrunning moral bankruptcy better.

Justified killing is so common in FoE, and media in general. Murky killed some slavers and that seems pretty reasonable. Whisper from The Chrysalis basically committed genocide on her own species and it's barely commented on.
I think Blackjack only got her reputation as the 'crazy murder mare' because she feels so much remorse over each death. Her stance against shooting first is kinda admirable, but after a while you really should get over it.

Just started reading FoE, I just finished the part at Pinkies families old farm and Pip being told by the sheriff she's a hero... and she has to leave, so not that far into it, but just felt like I should ask; is this series really actually worth getting invested in?
I mean I love Fallout, my favorites being 1 and NV and I obviously love ponies, but I don't really have time to waste on a long ass story that'll just waste my time/piss me off later on, and so far I'm kinda digging it, however none of the characters have endeared themselves to me (yet) and Pip being a lesbo and reminding you of it every time she see's a cute mare seems to be kinda gratuitous/pointless, unless her being a carpet muncher is gonna be super important to the plot later on. Like, I'm willing to give it a chance to suck me in, but "is it worth it?" I guess is my question.
>>
>>
>>
>>43122708
For what it's worth, I don't think the late story has any well-known pain points that would consistently make people rage quit. But, fuck. I usually read books on a trying it and dropping it if it doesn't feel fun anymore kinda basis. Treating it as an important investment is difficult to relate. Are you alright?
>unless her being a carpet muncher is gonna be super important to the plot later on
I can help you with that, at least: it will most certainly not. Its importance peaked when she left the stable because of it. From now on it's barely more than a running joke.

What do you call the archetype that Blackjack and Terry McGinnis are? Y'know like punk knuckledragger kids whose lives get changed by technology way beyond their understanding and use it to become a hero? I think Sam Puckett from iCarly also falls into this archetype technically.

Remember that time pipshit said it was obvious her special talent was saving people? Am I retarded for not noticing that or is she retarded? I think she might just be wrong. I'm pretty sure her ass tattoo just means she's good at 'puters. I mean her fucking logic is that pipbucks "save" data so like really it means she's good at saving ponies. Like no Littleshit, cutie marks don't do that bullshit. Your cutie mark would have been a superhero cape or something if that was your special talent.
Also I'm of the camp that Go "Blackjack" Fish's cutie mark is just about poker. None of that other bullshit they were talking like it meaning victory or getting others to die for you.

Speaking of superheroes I think Littleshit and her crew count right? The definition I have is "Someone who's job it is to save others in an extraordinary manner." That's why despite what the yacht special thinks, the mane six aren't superheroes. It's not their job to save ponies, they don't go out looking for ponies to rescue. They just react out of the kindness of their hearts if they happen to be around when the world is in danger, which isn't that often. It could be any other ponies as well, and oftentimes it is. Littleshit's gang though works at it every single day. They specifically seek out scenarios where they can be heroes. They all agree that it's their mane function in society. They basically have an oath.

Pipshit is literally a genius. I can't tell if you're trolling or not. It doesn't matter though, even if we're just talking about game stats they still all major in Int skills. Pip has her science, Clammity had his crafting before Fallout 4 was even a thing, Velvet has her medicine and her magic, Xenith has her black people alchemy. Only Sterlhooves doesn't have an Int skill but because of his background he's really smart. And Pyrelight doesn't count.

The Star gods wouldn't be the issue if they weren't behind the Great War, it removes all agency of the actions that not only led to the Great War but also the last day, the snowballing of characters making terrible decisions with the best of intentions leading to worse outcomes just suddenly mute because the characters aren't really to blame when Eldritch gods were the ones causing them to make those decisions in the first place, and even then the Stars involvement in the war is something I can look pass but Goldenblood and the O.I.A. involvement is something I really cannot look past because Sombra decided to make Goldenblood and the OIA behind every single fucking that happened in the OG story, and its really really fucking stupid making Goldenblood basically the reason the Ministries existed retconning that not only was Goldenblood the creator of Gardens and not Twilight but mind wiping her too is so genuinely retarded that it actually pissed me off.
Goldenblood on paper is a cool character and there are moments in the book where I genuinely liked him as a character and those are seen in the memory orbs and plots where he's involved in the PH plotlines about the hoof and not the plotlines that Kkat had written, too bad those moments are outshined by Goldenblood basically being a massive edgy Garry Stue who as mentioned before was behind everything not only in Project Horizons but le gasp behind everything in Kkats original FOE as well, he was ten steps ahead of Everypony of not only the main Six but Celestia and it doesn't stop there, his personal organization the OIA also had their hands in everyponies cookie jars too! they had their hands of not only the creation of the Megaspells but almost everything as well including one of their agents Garnet who basically helped kick started the last day making the last day a big ass inside job! all of this in my opinion so ass its basically fallout TV show levels of retconning because Somber couldn't help himself and retconned everything to be a inside job or a part of a secret plan or just retcons to be retcons instead of just letting things be, which ultimately it isn't exclusive to Goldenblood or the OIA but a lot of none related characters and events as well.
>>
>>43127349
My bitching aside I do genuinely like Project Horizons I think the characters and conflicts are well written and my favorite parts about the fic is the world building given to not only the Hoof with its wide diverse of factions that feel like something you would see in a actual Fallout game but the further expansion and fleshing out of Zebra culture, hell I even like the added Enclave lore since it added something that was sorely glossed over in the original fic which was how Enclave society functioned and what were the civilians which is shown through Glory who like the rest of the main cast is really well written if not a little annoying and gritting at times

>>43127368
you should probably read the book yourself, velvet and calamity found only the last 2 of them, littlepip found the others
chapter 44 galvanise:
"At that moment, I finally realized what most of you probably figured out right from the prologue: the true meaning of my cutie mark.
A feature not to be forgotten: PipBucks keep track of the location of tagged objects or people. If a pony somehow got lost, it could help find them.
Like I had found the Ministry Mares. Their stories, which cried out to be remembered. And through the statuettes created through Rarity’s sacrifice, the mares themselves.
Like I had found Velvet Remedy, even without the aid of a tag. And I had found each of my friends… and a whole lot of good, heroic people, many of whom were gathered in the main room of this very cave.
I had gotten my cutie mark when I had found that little foal and reunited him with his parents, the first worthwhile thing I had ever done in my life.
My special talent was finding the right people.
“But… don’t this mean we still need Li’lpip?” Calamity asked suddenly. “We ain’t got but four.”
Velvet Remedy answered with a hesitant but conviction-filled “No.”
She smiled sadly, wiping tears from her eyes. “Have you seen the next room? Littlepip has done her part. We know where to start looking.” The lovely charcoal-coated unicorn looked up at Homage’s sprite-bot. “And even if the other two aren’t in that room, we know where to look next. We look to each pony who has been galvanized to action, to fight the Good Fight, by the example of the Light Bringer that DJ Pon3 has beamed into every corner of Equestria.”

It'd be subtle, just adding [Perception 7] or [Repair 40/65] at the beginning of a sentence.
In the story I'm writing the main character flubs a pretty significant speech check in chapter one, which helps get the main plot going.

There's a few times Pip is shown to act smart, but there's also a few times when she's an utter moron. The one time she acts like a genius happens off screen.
It's a case of show vs tell. Yeah, I'll give her medium-high int. But definitely not 9 or 10. Even 8 is debatable.

The writing's good on a surface level, but it does not carry the plot at all. It's incredibly long-winded and keeps getting lost on tangents that take forever to resolve and turn out to be totally meaningless in the end.

You're right about the style of writing, but that's a problem that most fics have.
But the misery porn tangents are necessary. MN7 is the one FoE fic that actually makes you hate the villains. Their cruelty and sadism is so built up that by the end you have to root for this little green bastard.

>so PH 2.0?
not at all, in murky there is a progression out of the misery, it starts miserable because it takes place in fillydelphia and every time it dips it is for a good reason and the characters don't spend 5 chapters beating themselves up over it, plus except for a couple specific chapters in the fic, it doesn't last more than 1 or 2 chapters at a time and gets better, and misery reduces as time goes on albeit with some stumbling along the way, it also stays focused on one story instead of going on unrelated side quests every few chapters
take it from someone who hates ph but loves murky, they are not the same at all

The base throwing skill was tied to agility in the interplay fallouts making me think it would be more of a pegasus proficiency through that lens
Whereas in the mindset of something like fallout 3's system, the base explosives skill (swapped as a stand in for the non existent throwing skill in this case) is governed by perception.
Making it possibly more of a generalist skill to be learned easily by individuals of any pony race gifted with higher perception, (though maybe unicorns could be head canoned as naturally having higher perception scores along side higher intelligence) while things like unarmed, melee, and big guns would be more common skills amongst earth ponies given those skills base stats being governed by strength and endurance (going along with a head canon of earth ponies having inherently higher strength and endurance scores compared to the other races)
This is all of course not ignoring P-21's obviously higher perception as an earth pony
i believe him to be more of an outlier and specialist than representing the greater earth pony standard

Perception would be a stat i would headcanon as a high inherent stat for pegasai along with agility, yea
Intelligence maybe not as high as unicorns but for sure would be in a larger distribution amongst pegasus population given their overall mastery of weather tech, cloud powered machines, and perfection of power armor tech post war
Of course all the pony races have their own technological proficiencies and developments though
And yeah flying proficiency goes hand in hand with their assumed high agility

Can you elaborate on that? Because I think deep down I believe that even if Slit was a flaming homo, sucking her or his dick would be halfway straight if if would result in her or him leaving his personality cult, and 101% straight if it would result in her or him growing a spine permanently. Her heart is (was?) in the right place, she just needs to stop being so pathetically vulnerable to suggestion.

In New Vegas the thrown weapons are governed by your melee skill, which is STR derived, so there's that to chew on I guess. Unfortunately they became LosTech with Fallout 4 so that's sorta where the trail ends.
I think earth ponies gitting gud at throwing stuff makes sense generally.
>can't dictate range of the engagement as well as pegasi
>no fancy tricks like unicorns
>holdin' stuff in their mouths anyway
Makes sense to me. Although unicorns and telekinesis are as always the eternal cheat for that too.

Reading through this thread I've been motivated to actually attempt to fully read Project Horizons. I read the original Fallout Equestria twelve years ago and read the first thirty or so chapters of Project Horizons but got fed up and stopped and then just skipped straight to the ending when it came out. So I'm going to sit and read through the fimfic chapters now unless there's some audiobook reading of it one of you guys can recommend me
>>
>>43152186

You're probably right. Derpibooru just AI generates dozens of users to make fake art to keep Derpibooru's numbers up, and then one AI thinks 'uh, this is Fallout, right, so lol just take this thing from Fallout'. Then the other AI users learn from each other and that's how the wrong emblem then spread.

Yes there's an official version made by Dead Tree Studios. It's a custom 1d10 roll under system. After looking over it, my reaction was basically "holy hell there's so many mistakes, missing content, and inconsistent grammar".
Had to like, go to the official server to ask clarifications on their dedicated Q&A channel. I even made an archive of all the answered questions on the Fallout Equestria PnP server I'm in to keep track of everything.
Their "errata" is just answered questions on their server. Not even pinned. Just community members linking to replies of the writers. And some of the writer's comments of missing content and conformation typos. Not to mention there's a buff for two races included in another book dedicated for shaman spells.
Not to mention, some of the missing content is included in the WIP excel files that they forgot to add to the main books. I've been piecing everything together tho.
It's supposed to be official, but the book quality are atrocious. They don't plan on making any 2nd edition or revised books. They plan on just making a 2nd edition that's a knockoff version of Fallout Equestria so they don't get effected by copyright law called "Horseshoes and Hoofgrenades". And its all going to be written by one guy.
Still, the books seem fun. The current campaign's players on the server I'm on are enjoying it (even though I'm not in the actual campaign). You just need a DM that will homebrew and houserule some shit for things to make sense, along with getting answers from experienced players and the Dead Tree Studio's Q&A channels to actually understand some stuff.
>>
>>43153633
For example, here's a list of the more important missing content and mistakes I've came across:
# __Missing Content:__
## Items
- Tier 0 Melee Weapon
**Name:** Zebra Slicer - **Damage:** (1xAGL)+1d10 - **AP Cost:** 15 - **Weight:** 0.5 lbs - **Value:** 10 caps
**Tribal Diplomacy:** +5 AP, MUST be made as a sneak attack, +5 DAM and ignores target DT, cannot be used on targets wearing environmentally sealed armor
**Special Rules:** Agile, Blade, Concealable, Uncommon
- Tier 3 Ranged Weapon
**Name:** Battle Rifle - **Damage:** 45++ - **AP Cost:** 25 - **ROF:** Single Shot
**Magazine:** 8 Ammo: .308 - **Weight:** 9.5 - **Value:** 1000
**Required STR:** 6 - **Range:** Med - **Type:** Rifle
**Special Rules:** Bayonette Lug, Uncommon
## Weapon Bashing
- If you have at least 35 in melee, you can use rifle bashing, treating a rifle as a baseball bat. If you have 60 in melee you can use 'Butt Stroke!', with the same stats as a baseball bat's Homerun special attack.
- If you have at least 35 in unarmed, you can use pistol whipping, treating the pistol as a lead pipe. You don't get access to special attacks.
- If you have at least 35 in melee, you can bash with a heavy weapon, treating it as a sledgehammer. You don't get access to special attacks.
## Fixes
**Magical energy Rifle Beam Splitter Mod:**
Incorrect Description. Instead it splits your beam into two beams, each dealing 12+1d10.
**Colt .45 Auto:**
Incorrect Description. Instead it costs 15 AP to fire.
**Service Carbine:**
Incorrect Description. Instead it costs 15 AP to fire.
**Blood of the Ancestors:**
Incorrect Description. It states both CHA and SA limits. The second SA is a typo its CHA.
**Magical Singularity:**
Incorrect Description. This is a typo. It doesn't prevent you from taking Level 10.
**Bolster:**
Incorrect Description. Bolster does not have a Basic rank, it was a typo.
**Night Hunter:**
Incorrect Description. Night Hunter has 3 Ranks.
**Battle Saddles and Alchemy/Survival Calculations:**
Incorrect Description. The formulas in The Survival Guide are outdated. The Appendences from other books have the correct formulas.
**Etc:**
- Trained perks are missing and incorrectly worded. Use the Witchcraft perks. *Shrug* for zebras.
- Everyone has "Common" Alchemy by default
- There is no "Common" and it's the same as Basic
- Basic Witchcraft, therefore, doesn't *actually* unlock Basic Alchemy, it just gives you the bonus for a crit roll. Despite it mentioning you now have Basic.
- You don't need any training or prerequisites to make Healing Potions or Super Restoration Potions outside of just the recipe.
- The Bat Pony trait has a typo. They're supposed to also know Advanced. Since it says one level higher and everyone starts with Common/Basic already.

Read through FoE: Outlaw on fimfic and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Very memorable characters, interesting Enclave lore and the way it intertwines with the beginning of Pip's fic is amusing.
Feels like this could have been part of the Big Five if Tofu had followed through on the rewrite.

sure and i bet you could keep one of those little disposable plastic forks you get in a prepackaged salad pristine forever if you really wanted to as well
she is one in the same with the fork, or rather *it* is
*it* is as most all machines are, disposable in the end
one machine in a legion of thousands
a frame in the shape of a pony with a spark battery in the middle to keep it going and the tech to tell it what to do
they were made as the first rough stepping stone in the development of the perfect synthetic but their main practical use is as gatherers
countless of them are teleported throughout the wasteland to gather useful salvage for their creators and in some cases wipe entire settlements, stripping every piece of salvage possible while ventilating every living thing in their path
though yes it is an automata of metal and arcano tech that you could theoretically keep going forever given the resources and dedication
but there is a limit to the practicality of maintenance on a machine with entire identical replacement models in stock and newer more advanced models to be rolled out
best not get attached to a plastic fork, eh anon?

Nowacking as Littlepip is a miscast on the same level as Yuri Lowenthal as Peter Parker. It's like when typecasting goes wrong. When it's super shallow and nobody involved understands the role. Littleshit might be another "cool dyke" horse but she's really nothing like Vinyl. She shouldn't sound cool. If anything she should have the voice of a turbovirgin loser who hasn't had much practice talking. There was one reading on youtube that's probably gone now because youtube removes everything good, where it was like the old audiobook but they added in atmospheric effects like rain or wind and they dubbed over the spoken dialogue. It really puts into perspective how little Littleshit actually talks. Anyway in that one she sounded feminine and kind of cute, and like she was trying to sound cool but wasn't quite there yet. And she had a slight country accent. I liked that version. Nowacking is fine, especially for a radio play where things have to be different. 99% of the book is just Littlepip's internal monologue, and if you take that perspective away she seems like a piece of shit asshole. You gotta actually explain why she's doing what she's doing, so she has to talk more.
>>
>>43155481
>99% of the book is just Littlepip's internal monologue
We will never get to see Littlepip's authentic self. Homage and Life Bloom have assured to edit and alter her memory footage for propaganda purposes. She is much more murderous and bloodthirsty than their abridged retelling will ever let you know. The cool dyke voice is fitting then, because it is Homage's retelling, and not Littlepip's real self. Homage has voice changing spells and she tries to not let anypony know that every voice is actually hers.

Dead tree is terrible. Plagiarized content, a ruleset held together by headcanon and houserules, and all for an atrocious amount of real life money. Use a setting-agnostic system like Cortex, GURPS or Savage Worlds; you can squeeze FoE into most of them with only a little effort.

>>43156126
The Zeebs started the war cause they assumed that all stars were nightmarish spawns of Elder Gods that existed purely to corrupt the galaxy, and that Luna was a sleeper agent corrupted by them. Xenith seeing for herself that (most) stars are just normal stars made her realize just how retarded her empire's beliefs were and that the whole war was for nothing.
>>
>>43156191
Idk, the meteorites had ore in them that could be used for weapons or armor. And in the zeebelief system that would normally be a sign that the stars are evil and that they provide Equestria with evil powerful ores through meteorites. Xenith thought the same thing about Homage's star blaster, but here she just uhhhh Idk.
>>
>>43156249
It's more that they thought touching it would instantly turn you into Nightmare Moon and such, cause the Zeebs were convinced they were living in Warhammer 40k and surrounded by Chaos Spawn. The moment is Xenith realizing her entire species never understood jack shit about the setting they lived in, and that her whole culture is built a giant wrong assumption about everything.
>>
>>
>>43156126
Zebras believed the stars were evil, so something that falls from them, in other words, form outside/above the sky is evil too. And since NM made armor out of star stuff when she did her goy uprising (this is a joke, the whole anger and resentment + magic blah blah) which must have caused a lotta death and devastation, including to zebras, probly. They assumed NM is bad cuz stars stuff, and they also didn't see Luna and NM as different entities. So war to destroy evil in equestriabylon but turns out there was no evil on the stars, just what could be considered exotic material which could be used to make funky shit, like that one weapon and the armor, contrary to what somber and his ball lickers want you to believe, the whole lovecraftian shit is bad and shit, and only exist to bloat an already bloated fic that should be mostly ignored past chapter 15
>>
>>43156434
The Lovecraftian shit is good. The reveal that the world was destroyed because of an oops haha misunderstanding is a bafflingly stupid idea, one of many which KKat's fic introduced and deserves to be ignored
>>
>>43156434
You're stupid. The stars were absolutely evil in FoE. Nightmare Moon was real once, Luna got turned into her by the stars. And the star blaster is a thing.
This whole thing is a critique on mutually assured destruction.
>>
>>43156459
The lovecraftian shit is bad.
A thing that is a pattern in the FoE is tragedy, like how characters responded to something by doing something that did nothing but create future problems -> the mane six growing apart (friendship magic, breaking harmony, elements of harmony) -> war -> pre war characters always about to avoid the end, trying to keep the arrows form reaching midnight, tragedy, the whole star shit being just superstition just adds to the whole thing being a tragedy.
The problem with the adding of "hurr the stars where actually le evil chaos gods" is that it makes the zebras, actually "right", the tragedy is that the war didn't need to happen, thats the tragedy. The whole reason for the lovecraftian shit is so somber can make a "hurr durr my cute zeeebies dindu nuffin and we're acshuakky rite" like one part of PH when Luna's school of groomeable unicorns that was one of the big bad events of the og where the foals are killed by the zebras, and was turned into, "actually the school was filled with Uber cockturrets that lekilled a zebra school bus and so a zebra dude le killed the le school with le school turrets in retaliation so the zeebs aren't that bad actually"

This. It is not a scientifically sound design of experiment. Who said there was anything left in Xenith to corrupt, wasn't she an autistic mass murderer to begin with? Who said the corruption of the star material happens instantly? What she had to do is make a bunch of innocent foals wear star metal trinkets for a few years, and then compare their behavior with a the control group who wore similar trinkets made of normal irradiated steel. I think her behavior in >>43156109 is more consistent with the assumption that she lost her faith a long time ago and just waited for an excuse to come out of the proverbial closet.

The war didn't have to happen either way, Luna just had to abdicate the throne. It's not like the zebras believed everypony to be full of star microplastics.

>It's more that they thought touching it would instantly turn you into Nightmare Moon and such
Xenith didn't think touching Homage's star blaster would turn her evil instantly, but thought it would slowly persuade her to become a killer. So why would she think differently now? She fucking found that thing in the Everfree Forest, the fucking evil place that wants to kill you lol.

This is the dumbest thing ever why the hell would Luna abdicate the Throne without her knowing stuff she would never know and even then Luna abdicating the Throne wouldn't brough an end to the war, too much time had passed with both sides doing pretty awful shit to each other, Luna abdicating at most would've prevented the last day and that's a massive IF, peace was out of the option, both Ponies and Zebras wanted each other DEAD, especially for the ponies since Zebra racism raised to all time high.

PH's canon doesn't make the zebras right. The ponies were wrong to harness the Eater of Souls but that doesn't justify getting nuked. It's still tragic, and less stupid than the original fic where they came off as stupid sociopaths.

So how were Overmare Studios planning on adapting the parts where Littleshit only completes quests by coming up with the most ridiculous nonsensical bullshit plans you could possibly imagine? Were they going to make everything Littlepip ever did in the book a fully fledged mechanic in the game that you can do anytime? And what about all the mind games that are played in the book? The thing is pretty much everything Littlepip gets done in the book she gets done by coming up with clever solutions or tricking ponies. So either they would have to make some other character in the game be the smart one and give the player these objectives, or they would have to make it an extremely detailed sandbox where you can do anything you can think of, like in Tears of the Kingdom. Except they'd have to take it a step further and make npc ai feel real. Because if tricking motherfuckers is just an intelligence check like in new vegASS, the player is not actually tricking anyone. And that's no fun. I think it's antithetical to the book to just have pre-determined routes the devs lay out for you. Littlepip literally ONLY does what she chooses to. It won't feel like you're in her horseshoes if you know you can only go down the paths the devs thought of for you.

I was ukdnt call them stupid, just heavily superstitious, member, even the more... Moderate? Of them, are really afraid of certain things, cosmos, NM, I mean, for good reason, they believe something is evil and corrupts ponies, then they see NM becoming evil as she used cosmos armor and they not being able, generally of seeing Luna as different from NM blah blah. And right was the wrong word, more like, justified, like they were, well, right on their believe the stars were le evil all along, and adding an eater of souls is that, making them, right in their belief and reason for wanting NM dead, Luna. And I'm pretty sure PH did made them psycho schizos, considering certain striped coldsteel the zEEbra and his little displays, and his faction aswell.

Zebras weren't even portrayed as stupid sociopaths in the book they had genuine good reasonings on being afraid of the Stars, Nightmare Moon and the Ursa Minors/Majors being really good examples, its just that no one really bothered learning the culture at the time your country's greatest enemy that caused a lot of the incidents that made the war and relations between the two races infinitely worse.
Also PH making Zebras right about the stars removes 80% of the tragedy of not only the war since as previous anon stated it made the Zebras right about turning a war that was originally about resources to a holy crusade to remove a demon corrupted monarch, it also ruins the great war in general, because retconning a war of tragedy of the mane six and co making genuine good hearted decisions only for those decisions to snowball into worse and worse outcomes, for example Celestia sending the Wonderbolts to rescue captured Ponies from Zebra pirates, in which caused the first dominos to fall in place as this would ultimately lead up to the great war, but now with PH retcons this is all null and void because the whole conflict was being controlled by secret shadowy puppet masters who planned and caused everything to begin with and in which the agency of Pre/Great War characters has been utterly removed since you can't be blame or get angry at them since they had no stakes in their actions.

So I got permission from one of the writers for Dead Tree Studios to post my edited versions of their Fallout Equestria PnP books. My edits add bookmarks, replaces the parchment/blueprint backgrounds with black background, and black text to white text for extra accessibility and readability.
I already finished editing The Locked Box and The Wastelander's guide. I plan to be releasing them all at once here once I'm done with them, but you can go on the Dead Tree Studio's Discord found on their website. I created a forum in the Q&A chat that has all the links to the PDFs I already converted.
TLDR; I made the books actually fucking readable and free to download on the DTS Discord.

I can’t believe I have to remind you that discord WILL pull the same shit they did earlier this year, just around summer or the end of this year. And it’s a fucking shame everyone forgot how much pisscord lied about their garbage, from their claims of “on device verification” being disproved by screenshots showing persona as the listed verification provider whenever you got the age verification prompt in the UK, to pisscord staff pretending to “listen to the community” when they just pushed the shit back instead of just removing it entirely.

We need to remove weapon condition from guns and just make ammo scarce. When you run out of ammo, your character discards the gun. You can just pick up a new one and have it automatically equipped. Or added to the quick select if you already have one. Make it basically botw. It's the absolute best way to have a durability system.

Scared the piss out of my FoE tabletop party with a Sentinel this week. Local raider tough wanted to use it as an ambush against another tough, but his lackey he relied on to get it running was pissed at him and just made the thing blanket hostile.
... It was supposed to start out behind the boss and be used as a kind of neutral hazard but battle lines got murky way quicker than I expected and I think I very nearly wiped the party. Some quick action by the group's computer expert paid off though and she managed to disable the power supply (with a very lucky roll). Also our diamond dog ate like four rounds of 45-70 to the face, but she's fine now.
>>43171371
Weapon condition is good. Repairing is good. The fact the only piece of equipment that can break in 4 is your power armor is weird, especially with the game's intense focus on junk collection and scavenging. If there was any game that should have had deeper focus on equipment maintenance it should have been FO4, but the weapon systems mostly exist as an excuse for Bethesda to skimp out on actually modeling new guns.

Oh boy unarmed in 3d fallouts is fun. In New Vegas and 4 you can also learn special moves. Some things feel busted like Paralyzing Palm. If you are planning on going unarmed for the first time in NV I recommend checking out combo keys because they are not explained anywhere in the game except only for learned skills from NPCs.

seems scaring the shit of your group with a sentinel is very common, my group was pretty low level so I made the boss a damaged sentinel bot, it couldn't move and had only one minigun operational, the encounter took place in the server room of an MoM observation bunker, my players tried taking it out with their grenades but fumbled their rolls and just managed to lose the element of surprise without damaging it, after that they just started scrambling from server rack to server rack as they got destroyed by the sentinel, I had warned them that the robot has a high damage output and could easily kill them if they weren't careful especially if they got within mele range, at some point, the earth pony of the group tells me he want to rush down the bot with his machete, I tell him he can but warn him that the robot has a high resistance to slicing damage and a powerful mele, he says that it's an ok risk and just rushes the bot
I should also explain that the rules we're running are quite heavily homebrewed and include a system where if you make a perfect roll, you can roll again and add the result to your dice
cue 3 perfect rolls in a row bypassing the strong slicing resistance of the robot and reducing it to 0 hp (from almost full) with hitpoints to spare, I let the player describe his action, somersaulting above the robot and cutting a large gap trough its shoulder, cutting it cleanly in 2
funnily enough, he was the only player to miss his perception check to see the sentinel's explosion on death starting
result of the battle:
1 player badly injured by the minigun
1 player thrown trough a server by the explosion but alive
1 party afraid of entering MoM bunkers (oops)

Makes sense. He's obviously the coolest guy in the room and cool guys don't look at explosions, so obviously he wouldn't see it.
But honestly that's really funny. It's cool what emergent little oddities can crop up due to dice deciding now is the time for something weird to happen. I don't have anything particularly funky like that, but it feels like every encounter I run some random NPC, that isn't the actual boss, will just schwack a PC and nearly kill them. Our Fighter almost ate shit to a protectron early on, and nearly got strangled to death by a giant crab some time later. Once our baby dragon successfully insulted a Steel Ranger Scribe to lower her Will save only for the scribe to turn around and crit her from full HP down to 3.
This last combat the boss and the Sentinel didn't even deal most of the damage, it was just a string of hot rolls from the two mares with revolvers.
I've never played a system with exploding dice but they sound fun. It's always interested me but I guess I've just never had the chance.

Cause babying Your Gun and making incremental tweaks to turn it into a perfeclty oiled killin' machine is peak Wastelander experience. It's what Bethesda was trying to go for with 4 but their stuff is too blatantly linear/Legendary effects are stupid. The PA suits suffer the same issue of not enough tradeoffs, just tiers of quality.
