Introduce yourself!

Pen Pony wrote:More often than not I lurk on every site almost never takeing part  in things, much the way I do IRL. But I hope to change that here, I would love to play a game but I'm going to just stay in the background for a while. One of the most important things about the real me is I spend nearly all my time reading or watching anime.

Welcome! As others have said, if you have any questions, comments or ideas - feel free to ask whether in public or via PM. Hope you have fun.

Welcome to Pen Pony! What's your favorite anime?

Hard to pick one but two that are at the top are Cowboy Bebop because it's Cowboy Bebop, and Hanasaku Iroha due to the realistic characters and tone of  overall enthusiasm Ohana has tough  out it even when things are really tough  for her. Also Jiromaru who claims he’s going to become a great author but mostly just writes cheap yuri.

Cool! As you can probably tell by the avatar, I'm a fan of One Piece.

There's more to it than just a standard shonen show, though it takes a volume or two to really start shining.

Welcome, Pen Pony!  

I know One Piece pretty well fallen behind latley. I know a ton of series I have over 800 manga.

Well here goes nothing.

I have done some pathfinder games over the internet, albeit infrequently, and I do enjoy the Idea of role-playing to make interesting stories. I first heard about the whole MLP Fiasco from looking into the song Discord, which I had heard in passing and liked. It has taken some time, but I've finally been pulled into the community and show, and I would like to give more formal pony role plays a shot!

I am new, and likely won't understand a handful of rather basic concepts at first, so be understanding if at all possible.

Sincerely,

Jack Silvers.

Welcome Jack, great to have you here. If you have any questions about rules, how to get into games or anything else - just let us know. There's also the handy "Ask a simple question" thread in the official games forum. Hope you enjoy.

Welcome to the community, Jack! I recommend reading the rules thread, of course, and also heading over to the OFFICIAL RULEBOOKS thread in Game and Game Updates. I think there are a few games recruiting at present. And if there aren't, new ones pop up semi frequently.

Anybody going by the name Conan you guys know? he may or may not have entirely convinced me to come here, and he's offline on the usual channels I reach him at, and he's a been rather helpful so tracking him down would be useful... He is gming a game or two on here if I recall. If you don't know him that's fine.

Additionally, holy cow you guys are quick to reply.

Would that be Conantheghost?

Possibly, that's not the avatar he currently uses from my experience, but he did use that for a while on Roll20, also his game involves a video game version of equestria, if that clarifies anything.

In all likelyhood yes that's him.

Sounds like it might be the same person. If so, awesome - tends to post some really cool ideas. If you're looking for a specific game, check out the roleplaying section of the forums (there's a campaigns subforum).

Well, hey, welcome to you, Jack. Nice username.

Other than that I really have nothing to say.

Except maybe

So I open the rulebook, and expect some standard guffins on how rolls work and all that jazz.

and then there were some... surprises.

Genetic Engineering?
-100% deaths?
Treasure out the Wazoo?
Destinies?

This is going to be an experience at the very least.

Oh hey, Jack. Conan is actually my brother, and it seems either there is just randomly some other conanthe<insert random here> that you know, or he is DMing multiple iterations of the same game. If you need to contact him on a weekday, go through me - he only has Internet on weekends because of Punitive Shoes, and I have it 24/7 because I need it for homework.

Hey Jack! Sorry I wasn't there to welcome you, but I'm here now! So welcome!

I'd sing a ditty but that's too much work. Welcome!

Anyway, I'm still not much of a GM here(surprised that Dan thinks that much of me... ) but I look forward to gaming with you nonetheless!

It seems that that sorted itself out quite nicely.

*laughs* Hope you find it a pleasant one. If you want to comment on anything or ask anything - there's the forums of course, but also feel free to PM me whenever you like.

Welcome Jack.  If you're looking to get into a campaign, the following are recruiting:
A New World
The Sun Sets
Equestrian Radio Show: Adventure Variety Hour
Grand Line Adventures
Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding
Rainbow Factories

Sorry, Friendship is Wuxia is full. Forgot to change that.

Way to be a bro. Saves me some time.

It's wonderful that in such short time I've already received offers to play, and believe me, I will look into them.

Thank you all so much, this is far more than I expected!


Sincerely,

Jack Silvers

Go ahead and add Infinite Laughter to that list. I've been losing players left and right, and the game is down to 4 active players, and it was at 3 when Xel was offline for a while. It may be my first time DMing a game, but the players don't seem to think I'm doing a terrible job. I think.

I have done Three rps with ibrony.com! I found out about this site by colter bolt!
