>>42595090Finally the most based thread on the board has returned
>>42595415Anon decided to post the only image related to a psychopath rather than find thousands of images related to fallout equestria. Goes to show something.
>>42595516>related to a psychopathHuh?
>>42595090Playing as BJ should give special ball busting skills. That's her trademark.
>>42596124I thought her trademark was getting drunk and committing forcey fun time
I read Pink Eyes. Another story where I felt like the author got to around the halfway point before realizing he needs an ending of some sort and then came up with one on the spot. It didn't really for the story. I rate it OK.
>>42596596Ending stories is hardYou like your characters, you don't want the adventure to end really.
>>42596490It comes in the same package.
>>42595516Don't diss the sweetness that is Lil'Pip
Bump with wise words from Lil'Pip.
So how was Mare Fare /foe/ggots
>>42597298Fun, I had a lot of fun
>>42596895>Lil'PipAnon, these are Blackjack's colors.
Fear not, /FoE/ generalFor MURKY is here to save you from the RGRE schizoposting
>>42598088He's literally me
>>42598088He's a cute little guy, I'm glad I'm not him though
>>42596895>Smoke trail>On an energy weaponOh this triggers my ass.
>>42595090Yo, I need deets on why Littlepip is actually just a slightly more principled raider.
>>42598088>>42598101Protoge and Murky making sweet boy love.
>>42598757Verboten since Murky is straight
>>42599168>constantly teased for looking like a little filly>gets very close and bashful with multiple males in the storyNah he's bi at least.
>>42599192Littlepip never murdered anypony, Blackjack never groomed anypony and Murky is the straightest stallion alive.
>>42599192Just because he's effeminate and that one guy wanted to rape him doesn't mean he's gayUnless you want to admit that P-21 is straight because he fucked Blackjack
>>42599609>Unless you want to admit that P-21 is straightMaybe he would've been under normal circumstances. He's prison gay on steroids.
>>42599798Yep. He loves BJ and likes pussy but hates mares because he was raped a bunch.
>>42600075The facial expressions are accurate.
>>42600075Man, P-21 really had it rough. He deserved better.
Funsize horn
MN7, but Brimstone Blitz sacrifices himself in the end to blow up the wall and free all the slaves.Protege is gravely injured/crippled in the final fight but survives, and reunites with Murky in the epilogue.
>>42600770You don't understand, it's compact!
>>42600483Why does he look like Robin Hood?
>>42601038Then amazing cute homohorse love occurs.Also Protege's cool gryphoness guard lives and they have threesome fun.
does blackjack ever learn that littlepip and the stable dweller are the same pony? im on chapter 41 of PH.
>>42601981Yes. Very late in the story.
Losing patience with Renewal. The author added in multiple character perspectives and a whole mess of dream sequences and flashbacks to explain the setting, and it's slowed the pace to a crawl. It's taken 30 chapters for Aurora and her friends to make a trip that Pip or BJ would have done in five.The new background lore is hit or miss, feels like it opens up as many plot holes as it fixes. It's less zany than the original universe, but also more mundane and tech-heavy. At least it made Anonmare canon in FoE. Dunno if I'll keep reading, these chapters are getting longer and longer and the ending is a massive 80k words.
Are there any finished audiobooks for Murky No. 7 and Pink Eyes?
>>42602371Thanks. It's starting to feel like a bit that has overstayed it's welcome.
>>42602752Yeah it's meant to be a running gag throughout the story to illustrate how dense BJ is.
>>42602422>anon can't handle reading multiple perspectives>anon doesn't get that the story isn't GUNS VIOLENCE DEATHRenewal is excellent and superior to anything Kkat did. The lore is consistent and makes sense, the world is far more realistic, and the characters are compelling.My only issue is that it did the same gayness as other FoE shit and has Aurora be a faggot.
Why is Glory so damn cute bros?
>>42603091I can 'handle' Renewal just fine. It certainly held my interest longer than the original fic. But it suffers from a terminal case of wheel-spinning in the later chapters. I just read an entire 4500 word section where the characters sat around and talked about their feelings and nothing happened.And the lore has plenty of holes in it - ironically because it's cribbing some of the dumbest parts of Fallout lore verbatim. Stuff like survivors living in shacks and scavenging food a full two centuries after the war, the nonsense about vaults being social experiments, the Enclave being cartoonishly evil for no reason, etc. The stuff the author is ripping from Howey's Silo series just makes it worse. Now EVERY stable is like Vault 101 and no one can leave, but also they're social experiments that are supposed to fail, and also they're all linked together via a secret internet network that no one noticed for 200 years (?!?).
I'm still trying to work on my own FoE side story, the one in Mareida.The idea is that it takes place a few years before Littlepip ever leaves the Stable and the Enclave and Red Eye's army are significantly better equipped, the environment in Mareida being uncontrolled territory after a weather tower fell, and there being some intrigue about magical megastructures and artifacts that go back before Luna's return.
>>42603142Because Glory is one of the few genuinely good ponies in Project Horizons. She's only second to Lacunae.
>>42603348She looks almost like Appletart Longshot.
>>42603091NTA but I'm hanging trouble "handling" the fact that the story changed what it's about after the beginning. What started as a story about Aurora and her quest turned into a long-winded backstory that doesn't have a while lot to do with the actual story. A lot of characters are namedropped and we have chapter naked like Worlds Collide (a two partner!) that's about... the main trio singing for some ghouls in an irradiated town.All of this would be fine, the multi viewpoint change and all, if the damn backstory want so long winded and boring. It's like the author had a checklist of characters he needed to get through and give a role to.
>>42604148It never changed what it was about. At all.It always was 'Aurora wants to fix the stable' and she never truly deviates from it even with the side quests. Everything she does and learns is in service to that.I don't get niggers that can't handle that a fallout fic actually wants to take the time to explain things instead of just 'So some shit went down NOW BACK TO THE VIOLENCE AND RAPE'.Maybe it's just FoEniggers.
>>42604158The bits and pieces that are about Aurora remain fun to read. It's just the backstory that's dull and way too long winded. Even the characters are wooden at best. It tries to do too many things and ends up doing none of it well. There's Teak and Zecora who we know a bit about, who are then dumped to tell about how Dash made money disappear to fund projects she shouldn't because plot holes say she can't even if we're shown how it could solve the problems and she's doing the right thing.It's a combination of plot holes, dull characters, and dragging on that makes it bad. Not that it's there. The OG did that part better and kept the backstory in check for the most part.
>>42603348I didn't read Renewal, but what's wrong with vaults being experiments in the games? With or without the "doomed to fail" part. I kinda loved it. And while we're at it, what's wrong with the Enclave being the Enclave?
>>42604158Blackjack tripping over memory orbs was bad enough. Dumping non-diegetic flashbacks into your story because you really need to explain how Spitfire was blackmailing Rainbow Dash is lazy and excessive.>>42604310Maybe I've been playing too much Sonora, but I really dislike the silly/campy bits of lore that crept in around FO2 and have been propagated by Bethesda. Using vaults as social experiments is silly and illogical, even if some stories pull it off well. The Enclave being supervillans that may have dropped the bombs on Equestria themselves is silly and undermines the seriousness of the war. The war spiraling out of control because the mane six abandoned their friendships works better than "peace was possible, but a cabal of pegasi fucked everything up."Anyways, I'm on chapter 36 and still not sure where the story is going. The Steel Rangers act more like the NCR, and alternate between helping and trying to kill Aurora and her stable every other chapter. The Enclave is cast as a murderous theocracy but so far they've been helpful and empathetic to Aurora's plight. If the story ends with "ah well, the Enclave are evil gotta kill em all" I think I'll end up hating this fic.
>>42595090I'm doing the impossible challenge in remains and finally got out of the first bossDid anyone ever actually win in that?
>>42604501I am so shit at that game I can't even get to the first boss on easy
>>42604834Haven't played it much because I never have the time to cram it in, but from what I've seen, the controlling seems to be kinda tricky.
>>42605219I'm the anon who first posted, and it's not at all tricky, in fact it's pretty simple and like flash games of old even.Being a squishy lil fag on high difficulties and barely any ammo with inventory capacity and thus "living off the land" and weapons you find, switching on the go, been the highest challenge here on the max difficulty. I actually entered the boss overbearing by quite a bit since I'd have what I got
Hey look it's that character from Murky that no one remembers
>>42605707Can't remember him when you haven't read the story.
>>42606129>He hasn't read Murky
>>42606155
>>42607027God damn it, Blackjack has raided the ketchup stores again.
Alright, I'm giving up on Renewal for now. Made it chapter 37, but I'm barely halfway through the story because of how long the later chapters are.I've bitched enough about the excessive flashbacks, the contrived and conspiratorial backstory, and the inconsistent depiction of the antagonists. But one other thing that's been bugging me is how 'tech-heavy' the story is. I didn't like it in The Chrysalis, and I don't like it in Renewal. Ponies having technology powered by gems and magic spells feels more whimsical and 'fun' than just giving them modern tech. Especially if that tech is more advanced than what's depicted in the Fallout universe. Renewal asserts that Equestria has a fucking internet, that not only links every Stable ever built with each other AND the outside world, but which survived intact for CENTURIES after the bombs fell. And nopony noticed except the Enclave. Riiight...
>>42607274Well, I mean they kinda had the internet in Fallout 2 in all the Vaults as you had the Enclave monitor the progress of the experiments (anyone who thought that Bethesda started this, it's actually was started in F2 if one manages to hack the main computer on the oil rig)
>>42607274Absolute shitter.Also magic guns are a thing in Kkat's shit too, with laser weapons being literally gem-powered amongst other things.PH has numerous gem weapons and tech shit like Cognitum.
>>42607311>it's actually was started in F2That's why FO 1 will always remain the best.
>>42607354Even though F1 is pretty much a mess of scattered brained ideas and concepts, some of which don't really work or make sense. Mostly because the devs took 'em from Mad Max, Wasteland and other stuff.
>>42607313Yeah and that's fine. My point is that Renewal DIDN'T have any of that. All the weapons and electronics were explicitly non-magical. The only magic-tech in the story were some experimental stimpaks that Twilight made.
>>42607427Oh I see, I misread.Yeah that's actually a fair criticism out of everything you said.
>>42607378It's tone and pacing is still good though. It transmitted a real feeling of a post apoc wasteland. The later parts don't do that any more. FO 2 included.
Wasteland bump.
FoE should play up the animosity/stratification between races more. The Enclave already does this for the pegasi. I'd add to that unicorns usually ending up as mercs/slavers/raider bosses since they can most easily use guns and other weapons, and thus lord it over the earth ponies.On the other hand Steel Rangers should be mostly earth ponies, using power armor and robotics to compensate for their lack of flight and magic.
https://mindgame-productions.com/Fallout-themed airsoft LARP weekend is happening in Florida in NovemberMareschizos marauders gang will be showing up
>Runnin' a FoE tabletop game>party almost ate dirt to a Ranger Scribe and her Scout brother who's dying of radiation poisoning because they insisted on bumrushing an entrenched shooting position I sure hope they learn to be a little less bullheaded this week, or else the starbeast encounter is going to be very messy. At least they captured the two instead of gibbing them so I can poke the players in-character with "hey. You are not equipped to fight this thing straight up. You should be running."
>>42608718So how's the campaign going overall?
>>42608983Mixed, but well overall. >party are a bunch of fuckass slaves and their fledgling alicorn 'overlord' that was forcefully broken off from the Unity and sold to a local gang >gang boss talent scouts them all as potential assets, starts sending them out for some more ambitious grunt work >first job is to clear a decrepit casting house of pests while under escort>alicorn is almost strangled to death by a crab, ghoul gets chokeslammed by a protectron, and the giant silverfish bugs fucking style on the party for like five turns total due to godrolls, including a pair of them neo-dodging a point blank dynamite explosion>party got introduced to troggs (almost downing the ghoul again) >cleared the place, recovered a lot of raw material and an important block of data for the gang>bad: dragon player welched on every combat which caused OOC and IC friction Somehow they got the impression they'd made a completely non-combat character and I still don't really know why they thought that. Worked out eventually I guess but it got a little heated. >during the post-mission recoup the alicorn got a magic induced growth spurt to full-size as a result of a powerful artifact secured to their person so they're a Large creature now >is also currently being groomed by the gang boss as a possible successor >second mission has the party searching for an important metal shipment that was coming in the day the megaspells went off. Truck was blown sky high in a terrorist attack and contents thrown everywhere; aforementioned captured snipers are helping them hunt the stuff down in exchange for safe conduct>scribe crit the fuck out of the dragon which was pretty funny since the dragon had been hurling insults all fight >alicorn brought to 1 HP by the scout, was also knocked to Dying 2 by a later trogg encounter (that they were supposed to do first to get equipment upgrades...)Ghoul keeps missing the talk-heavy sessions which is really annoying since he's one of the more active players but oh well. It would've been nice having him around when the Rangers were being interrogated. Biggest roadblock has just been getting time to get stuff prepped and put together. Work's been kicking my ass.
>>42609264Sounds like a fun game. What system ya rollin with for it?
>>42609264>Inconveniently placed god and fail rollsAh, the classic.
>>42606155That's how it is.
it's time to reinstall good old gmod and check out the diverge foe pony server. the enclave is getting desperate for new cloudkickers...
>>42604501>Did anyone ever actually win in that?There are playthroughs on impossible difficulty, so it is definitely possible.But you need to savescum>if you don't have a safe route to any exit just save/reload>if you died or took too much damage just load an earlier save, you are not supposed to die everAnd you also should not overlevel in endgame, because enemies will scale and you will stall.
>>42606370Dude must have taken a taint bath because now he's fucking HUGE
>>42609979It's not taint, it's poison joke.
>>42610010Wouldn't poison joke do something like this instead
>>42610149Only if it's some kind of twisted joke.
>>42609568Pathfinder 2e with a healthy dose of homebrew and 3rd party Ponyfinder rules. It... works. The guns are all from one of the player's own attempt to run a pony game set in New Vegas; I went in and nerfed a lot of the automatics and toned a couple of other things down, but it's worked out so far. I also added a DT/DR mechanic to armor to make things a bit less lethal for the PCs and cooked up some extra weather rules since storms and stuff are a big deal in the local area, but those haven't come up much yet. >>42609742It has been SO swingy, bro. >party ambles into Sniper Alley>find a set of troggs sleeping on top of their last meal (a pair of ponies just trying to get high and snog in private) >rogue player is away for this game so I have their PC throw a road flare, since the party was informed earlier that troggs hate bright light>this one action basically disables half the pack due to failed CON saves and the fight is a complete steamroll>Trogg encounter 2, party sets up a killzone but no one flares and also the troggs roll like God while the party is just trying to roll above 10>Alicorn goes to 0, starts dying>another PC in single digits>Diamond Dog tanking hits like they're Senator Armstrong due to the DT rules + rock armorThey made it, but what a mess. The diamond dog has probably been the most consistent MVP. They were the one to tackle and eventually restrain the sniper during that particular shootout, and their tunneling ability was how the party finally managed to approach the building in the first place (although I realized yesterday I forgot to have them actually maintain the grapple).
>>42610206>Diamond Dog tanking hits like they're Senator ArmstrongKek.
Project Horizons is dogshit. Don't get me wrong, it had a solid start. But I bailed after we started gettting all those obnoxious anime scene inserts. And Blackjack has the most horrendous of PO OC Mary Sueism I've ever seen.I have a first run book set of the original story and Pink Eyes. I loved Heroes. And Murky is amazing! But PH just turns into a giant mess and I loathe it.
>>42610253Damn you autocorrect."horrendous case of OP OC Mary Sueism"
>>42610206Ah, I was thinking of running one by either using the d100/d10 Overmare version or using the 2D20 one.
>>42610264>d100/d10 Overmare versionNot familiar with that one. You happen to have a link or something? >the 2D20 oneYou mean the official one Bethesda licensed? From what I've gathered on /tg/ it seems mostly geared toward replicating the FO4 loop of gathering junk to turn into convert into resources (and also that they intentionally bifurcated it into two books so they could charge you twice). I think you'd need a pretty specific kind of campaign in mind to make any use out of it.
During the FoE panel at MF I remember one of the panelists talking about a popular Minecraft mod with a bunch of FoE references in it? I was ridiculously hungover and didn't catch the name of it, does anyone know what mod he was talking about?
>>42610287>Not familiar with that one. You happen to have a link or something?I think one person here did upload some of the books here, but I can toss one in if you need it.>You mean the official one Bethesda licensed? Ye that one, though I wouldn't say it replicates FO4, the crafting mechanic is present but it's mostly for like adding mods to your weapons. Heck, I did run one game and the scavenging stuff wasn't super huge (the PC's just would sell some junk they would find for money or trade for items)
>>42609965>SavescummingThen you might as well not apply the ironman modeNot gonna lie, dying to a rat sucked, after a surprise swarm in a small hole, but that's the gameI did not know that enemies scaled with your level though, thought it was with how deep in the "dungeon" you were. In that case finding a safe path to the exit instead of returning to base and then restarting Yes, I count using rune of return and quitting fair as if trying another entrance, but not just quitting mid way could work better, as you'd be deeper in and all
>>42610253I thought everyone agreed that Project Horizons goes to shit, the question is which chapter to stop reading at
>>42610365I'm still sad about Daisy
more Murk
>>42610253>the most horrendous of PO OC Mary Sueism I've ever seenThat's because ist's literally her talent.
>>42610416I'm not. 99 got what it deserved.
>>42610798Must be from after I stopped reading. Figures the author would just make it part of the story. To each their own, but I swear PH is like Sonic level fanfiction (something else I have never read).
>>42610929>Must be from after I stopped reading.Yeah. It was in one of the last chapters. That's where Dealer describes the true double edged sword meaning of her card mark.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that FoE has the best depiction of the Enclave in any Fallout media.
