The Era Victoria: Steam-punk half adventure half social, nowhere near canon Equestria, Dark?
The district of Witherschapel is in the death throes of one revolution and upon the brink of yet another. As Parliament futilely tries to rein the city in, the downtrodden masses and the East Ibexia Company each take to the streets vying for control.
"The era of Goddesses and Magic is dead and gone, this shall be the day of The Machines and The Mighty."

Regarding the Blank Diaries' lack of recollection, to what degree of knowledge would players retain? I am assuming the ability to talk in the correct language will be kept, if only so we can RP, but what else? Losing character knowledge is a given, but the description implies losing world knowledge, and perhaps even numerical knowledge...

Language knowledge be the only one real levels of retention and that's mostly just for practical reasons. World knowledge is out, math might be out to a degree.

I would be interested in any of those. If we go the Blank Diaries route I can probably provide some ideas and notes on random character creation.

I like the sound of the Era Victoria, and something something magical filly could be fun.
Although, Blank Diaries sounds a little... too complicated, for my tastes, and it's hard to RP a complete blank slate.

Personally I've been thinking about Blank Diaries the most. It certainly the most fascinating of the bunch, and has the most potential, but it can really go astray easily. The players need to be on point. The DM needs to be on point. If a regular game is like a jam session, Blank Diaries would be like a free flow orchestra. And I can see it going in one of two directions narrative-wise; either the PCs are stuck in the cave and discovery themselves while escaping/surviving, or the PCs can leave the cave and find society, discovering themselves while trying to make sense of the weird world around them. So yeah, hardest to pull off, most amazing if pulled off well...

I remain undecided on how I stack the other two against each other; I'd be interested in either, but can't decide which I would rather play. But Blank Diaries is at the top of the list for me...

Do you happen to know whether we're using Pony Tales or Wanderlust? Or what level we are starting at?

Ponytales most likely I still haven't actually got around to really learn the other system

Level 1 across the board, Magical Filly might get extra or custom talents though

side note is anyone else having trouble displaying images here?

It's your avatar as if drawn by someone making a silly doodle for a joke...

I made your mane more flamey because it looks like a flame but I didn't know if it was to be a literal flame or not...

I've been out of it for a while but I've been willing to join in on a new PBP campaign.
If you ever get something going, I would most certainly be interested.
(It's been more than a year since I glanced at Pony Tales so I'll have to freshen up on it)

Well then, that makes four my absolute minimum number for a campaign.

Most of the interest seems to be focused on Blanks but to be honest that is the one that I am least confident in running. Nevertheless if everyone still wants that I can give it the old college try.

I'm actually pretty excited about Era Victoria as well. Steampunk is something I don't get quite enough of, this would get that fix quite nicely.

Personally, by level of interest:
1. Victoria
2. Blank
3. Magical Filly

That said I don't particularly dislike any of them so I'm up for whatever ends up getting chosen.

I have no particular preference. I'm flexible and open minded enough to work with everything.
I'm just eager to play Smile

Wait, have I missed something? I see the game has been decided, but how soon was this so that Crystal could whip up a character?

I'd like to reserve a spot please Smile
I'll whip up a character sheet asap but it's past midnight here and I got class in the morning.
Will start working on it once I get home.

That being said, any restrictions or specifics we have to keep ourselves to regarding character creation?

...o.o
Battery and Chirurgeon have scarily similar abilities. Sweet and Elite, the Jack of all trades set, and mechanical...

*starts changing character*
Chirurgeon's Sheet thus far

Chirurgeon is a beast at knowledge (15 ARCANA! 14 HISTORY! 20 HEAL!) but not much else. He's got decent horse sense (10 in all) but both stat and flavour wise he's only so so with physical activity (7 in precision skills, 5 in brawn skills).

They have similar build principles behind them, but I wouldn't consider them similar. Battery is a little more rounded, with a focus in Brawn instead of Knowledge. (10+ on all skills except the ones Chirurgeon specialized in seems okay.) He's also much more skill-focused in general - most of his abilities are either skill oriented or minor cantrips, whereas Chirurgeon has a lot of healing focused abilities. I will also grant that I could probably drop Mechanical and be fine, especially as only the arm is mechanical for me, so I'll take a look at that.

TL;DR: Suggestions, anyone, on what to swap Mechanical for?
