Skype Campaign The Shadow Walkers Completed registration! Coming soon.

One day in the magical land of Equestria war began with the splitting of the two royal sisters; the bodies piled high in there name. But one day the battlefield was deserted and Equestria found itself in a different kind of war.

A war of shadows, a war of lies, a war of the dark.

Luna formed The Shadow Walkers and with them started taking over the west coast while Celestia and her Burning Eyes tried to hold onto what was left of the now named 'Solar Empire' after her sister and the other factions moved in to take their piece of the pie. Non-ponies vanished from the land in droves, and ponies sunk into an age of darkness, lies and subterfuge the likes of which had never been seen before.

Official Map will be the one used: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6OE3RdQFSJM/UBw8SRIVboI/AAAAAAAAE6o/QAVDWpmBvbo/s1600/1yawf.jpg

You are playing as recruits into The Shadow Walkers! Luna's personal infiltration network. Your mission? Infiltrate Manehatten and take over, hopefully with minimal bloodshed. Death lurks for you around every corner, and secrets will run like carbonated drinks down the throat of a fat foal. Do your best, and be warned; nothing is ever exactly what it seems.

Dates and Times
Skype Game as above, starting on the 14th of April 10:00 am Brisbane Time, 13th of April some early time in the morning for everyone who isn't time zone rooming with me. We can probably work something out though.

Current Team Members! (Looking for two more)
Snowflake[Philadelphus] = The Ninja
Clue Seeker[Demonu] = The Actor.
Pixie[Yawn] = The Arcane Specialist
Question Mark[Xel Unknown] = The Laughter
Gyro[Lyntermas] = The Inventor
Door Kicker[Bronymous] = The Bruiser

Rules and Regulations and other stuff
Talent Spec = Ok = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rs21ioj-bahkh5nziVJ5hDVABnhEDr18ywaEc_eapO4/edit?pli=1
GE with 8 points = Ok
Flaws = No
Any non-pony races? = No. Pure ponies only, GE ponies are fine. But PONIES. Pegasus, Bat ponies(At a stretch and only cause Luna), Unicorns and Earth Ponies(Who are Master race all love and adore the Earth Pony!)
Jinx is a no go, mainly cause it's really disruptive to everyone. Trust me I know, great for team kills not for everything else.

Cause I forgot
The Grapple rules found here: https://ponytales.forumotion.com/t500-grapple-rules-for-pony-tales
Will be used, so study up. My fault, I forgot to add them in. I'm sorry.

Needs! Microphone(Must have) and Stable Internet Connection(desirable)

Other rules!
Mic is for Rp, non-rp is for the chat box(Impromptu jokes are fine. But try not to clog up the mic with stuff like "but my arcana bonus is like 85 million and the rules state A, B and C which means....)
Chances of character death, potential. I'm not gunning for you to die, but if you nat 1 into an acid trap then roll another nat 1 and drown while the rest of the party laughs at you? Not much I can do.

Apart from that have fun. My Skype Handler is Cuteless if you need to urgently contact me for something you can always PM me.

Ah, yes. This...

Part of me wants to join but I feel oddly intimidated by a Skype game... I'll wait and see how many others want to join, first.

Intimidated?
By us?

Oh we're all little kittens, promise.

I wanna.

If there's room, I'd like to give it a try. I haven't done any Skype campaigns yet, so it might be fun.

I was originally planning on doing a "Gumshoe"-type character, but then I saw that Clue Seeker's got that covered. What you guys really need...is a technical specialist.

Working on the character sheet right now.

Edit: Meet Gyro! Got the utility and GE all how I want it, but right now the combat's just a copy of another character. Any help with that would be appreciated.

Gyro gets in on the amount of backstory alone. And yeah, tech spec is never going to go amiss. Welcome to the team! What's your skype? and I'll get you all added to the group and introduced proper.

Just sent you a PM. I'm logged on right now, so let me know anything else I need to do.

Nope, not really. You're pretty much all set.
Just one more!

Question - even if I don't end up playing, would I still be able to sit in on the Skype sessions, to see how things work?

Sure if you want.

Do want.

...Anyway, while I may end up making a character and a backstory, I feel Bronymous will have me beat, in timeframe if not in quality. I mean, I have an idea, I just don't know how good it'll turn out.

Post it anyway, see what happens.

That requires that I actually create it first.

Which is happening anyway. Ponyfeathers... it's taking over my imagination.

Well, here goes nothing. If it's good, perhaps I'll be in, or you can at least use her for an NPC. If it's not good... then no loss.

We'll see what happens.
Probably wait a couple more days before picking the last player(Should have waited before snagging Gyro but that sheet really impressed me.)

Aww, Lynt's playing? Now I gotta try for that slot. I don't suppose you love Flashpoint enough to outright choose him?

The truth is, does anyone really love Flashpoint?

Silver did. And a few of those girlfriends. And the Deer. And his parents.

Touche.

FLASHPOINT ATE ZEELA'S EYE... Just something I'm not going to ever forget about your character of madness.

That was a different Flashpoint. He's been through a few incarnations with different personalities.

True, but I will hound you about this if you end up joining this game. besides I say we should wait to see if any other skype-game virgins want to join, like Dusk Raven.

Ninja posting the campaign, I see! I'll submit my character sheet (still in progress - should be done by the end of the day, now that I can view the rest of the characters) then.

EDIT: Backstory, utilities done.

EDIT EDIT: Done! I hope the Metagamer destiny isn't too much of an issue.

If you're running the Talent Specialization, please add a link to that in the introduction, as I believe Lyntermas and whoever ends up joining wouldn't know about that.

Fine, fine

Re-posting my character sheet, since it's pretty much done.
