Equestria! An illustrious, beautiful land belonging to ponies, who maintain it with the powerful magic that courses through it. But there is another force underneath it, that makes itself known in peculiar ways... Nopony can quite explain it, but periodically this "force" will gather on objects, places, and even people... creating what have come to be known as Artifacts.

Several thousand years ago, someone decided to interfere; and founded the Warehouse. Dedicated to the retrieval and containment of Artifacts, the Warehouse has kept Equestria and the rest of the world safe from the effects of Artifacts.

Now it's your turn. Welcome to the Warehouse.





So! Against my better judgement, I have decided to give running a campaign of my own a try, set in my conception of a crossover between My Little Pony and Warehouse 13. Or, if you're not familiar with that, MLP and the SCP Foundation. (There are links at the bottom to both if you haven't heard of either.)

We are using the older system of Utility Talents vs Racial Traits, as opposed to the newer Abilities. We are starting at Level 1, unless there is much protesting. The campaign will be episodic in nature, with each session revolving around one or more Artifact(s). However, there will also (probably) be an overall plotline as well.

Now, as much as I hate to stifle creativity, I do need to set some slight limits on the usage of said Artifacts. On one hand, it's a perfect oppurtunity to try builds that are otherwise difficult or impossible to justify; however, I don't want characters going overboard.

So, flavor-wise, you get to have One, count 'em ONE, Artifact that you use. Mechanics-wise, however, you can use this Artifact to justify as many of your talents as you can think of. I will also permit an Artifact to justify One, count 'em ONE, Custom Utility Talent of your own choosing. (This is not a freebie; you will have to give up a normal talent to use it. And be prepared to have it thoroughly examined and altered.) Be warned also, that if you choose to use an Artifact I have ways to make that choice bite you later...

What constitutes an Artifact (as opposed to just a nifty gadget) is up to discretion.

I would also like to see two characters (at least) that are honest to goodness ponies. This is a mild complaint I have about the Equestrian Radio Show that ZamuelNow is running, and I'd like to avoid having too many non-ponies here.

I will also be giving you a free Group Companion. The exact nature of said Companion remains to be seen; although I am open to suggestions. However, the primary purpose of said Companion is to maintain communications between the party members and the Warehouse, so keep that in mind.

I am aiming for about four players currently; this may change depending on interest. I have five players, but feel free to ask if you want to join; you might get in, and then you might not...

Feel free to ask questions about anything else you might want to know. (Beware; it may take a while to notice a PM, however.)

I'm sort of interested. Might make a History Earth Pony specialist, a streetwise expert, or a circus performer (acrobatics).

How likely are grim scenarios (death, or fates worse than death), considering quite a few of those are present in Warehouse 13 (and a constant in SCP foundation)?

How different are artifacts from typical Equestrian magic, and how do they interact?

By the way, will Warehouse 23 have an influence in the campaign as well?

I have heard of Warehouse 23, but I'm not too familiar with it; if you want to borrow stuff from it, by all means, but I myself probably won't.

Death, and fates worse than death, are a possibility but not distinctly; unless you do something unacceptably stupid. And there's plenty of ways to remedy a dead character.

Artifacts vs magic? I'll post more on that later, with some MLP canon examples, but the short version is that Artifacts are generally things effected by that alternate energy I mentioned (Need to make a name for it) that, to the uninatiated, is entirely inexplicable. However, it also covers more "normal" magic that is deemed to be too powerful or dangerous to leave floating around (the Smart Pants doll from Lesson Zero is a prime example. The Mirror Pool probably qualifies as the first kind, though.)

In other words, I need to think about that more a little more. Or perhaps not.

Need you to add a little to the description of the Juggler's Daggers (that was just meant to be flavor.) I'll add you to the list directly.

Added you in.

Say, tyger, I sure would like to see some flavor soon... *wink wink* Oooh, nice. Like the Needles. I'll admit though, I wondered how yu were going to justify Fracture The Fourth Wall. It made me think of a few Artifacts of my own... mwahahaha.

Hmmmm... kinda wish I could try a Paladin like-character... Paladin as in, character's name BTW.

But at the same time... Storm Blade & Gearick could both fit here so well...

Hmmm. I'm going to be playing with all three... but have yet to get too familiar with any...

Whichever one works for you, I guess.

I will note, that players are not required to have an Artifact; nor are they required to make a custom talent if they do. It's just an interesting option.

Its possible to get Artifacts later though, right? As part of the RP?

Posting interest.
I actually wanted to make this crossover a while back, but it got stuck in a backlog of other things. Glad to see you made it though!
Also, I would already have posted a character, but then I realized Dandy was doing basically the same thing as Doctor Trotson.
[edit] Filling out Wrangler atm. Timberwolves are neat.

I aim to please. :3
I actually wanted to have him take a modded Form of the Bear for his Timberwolf business, but there wasn't a way I could do that with the frequency that I wanted for him, at least not without it being completely ridiculous.
[edit] Also, Wrangler's all flavoured and raring to go. Haven't written a lot of backstory for him, but if it's needed I can push something out.

Meh. It'll do for now; Backstory is one of those things I like to see made up on the spur of the moment; use your own judgement to decide when something needs to be brought in. (If I need something right away I'll let you know.)

EDIT: Added some information to the second post, regarding some of the NPCs you you'll be working with. The reason is I'd like to be able to assume that everybody already knows each other, at least a little, and has already been folded into the Warehouse workings, in order to get things moving quickly.

So going into this, our characters are already familiar with each other?
Also, what's the warehouse's policy on using artifacts? I'm hoping not the WH13 method of "there's always a drawback, so it's never okay," given Wrangler's connection to his.

Post  Crystalite Thu Jan 02, 2014 11:07 am

The general rule of thumb is "ask permission first".

Particularly considering that we do see Artifacts used in WH13 on several occasions, in spite of the rules; I recall one episode where they were trying to rescue a Regeant from a collapsing building, and they used a set of - pick-up sticks, I think? I can't remember - to make a ladder. They also used a pair of figurine shoes in a later episode to dig through said Regeant's memory. Claudia has a snow globe she uses on occasion (during the Ramen Noodle incident particularly) and Arty's bag probably qualifies as an Artifact in and of itself. I would need to search a bit for more examples, but they do get used when they can be.

EDIT: Regarding your Timber Tooth, your best bet is to write it so that it was already there when the Warehouse noticed you; perhaps it was either become an agent, or have it painfully removed...

That's fair, I'd forgotten about Artie's literal bag of artifacts that he uses. Thanks!
How long have we been part of the warehouse? Were we all inducted together? Are those things we should just work out for ourselves?
