The Earth is in peril.

A great evil has once again set its sights on global conquest, and its power rivals that lofty ambition.

Luckily, this evil hasn’t escaped the notice of an opposing force of good. Empowered by the Morphin Grid, a mentor has chosen a team of individuals with heroism in their hearts to become...

POWER RANGERS

So this is how the RPG is gonna work. There'll be a story section above the cut, and a mechanics section below. Every update will propose one or more questions to be answered in the notes or as a poll

For the inaugural update, the question is simple

What is the name of this season?

Pick 2 cool words (not necessarily ones that go together), and be sure to give support to those others have said that you like. I'll choose up to 10 that spark joy and put them in the next poll on Saturday

May the power protect you

Noticed something funny in the My Little Pony Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook.

In Which I'm Confused About Queen Chrysalis's Size Class in the MLP TTRPG

Okay so the MLP TTRPG, which uses Essence 20, which is this whole thing I'm not getting into, but I got the sourcebook because I'm running a Power Rangers campaign and I promise there's a connection there, but we're NOT GETTING INTO THAT RIGHT NOW, says Queen Chrysalis is in the Huge size category, which, like, okay, maybe she's Huge. "Alicorns" are in the Large category, and she's obviously not like noticeably taller than Cadance for reasons you should really not be reading this post if you don't know. But the Huge category is defined as "15-30 feet tall" and that sends me down a rabbit hole. Not a "this matters" rabbit hole, it most definitely is not one of those, but a "I've been infected with pedantry and can only solve this by doing MATH" rabbit hole.

First thought, for some reason, is "I should compare her height to Megatron" which is obviously a reasonable thing to do (pic related (we're not getting into that one either)), so let's do that. Horn to tail, she's 260 pixels long in the image we're working with, which is a very generous measurement of her height because of her positioning, but we're trying to make her as tall as we can, Megatron from the top of his head to the bottom of the image is 720 pixels long, which is a very ungenerous measurement of him because significant portions of his feet are cut off, but, again, we're trying our best to make her as big as we can. That gives us a Chrysalis/Megatron height ratio (as generous as possible) of about 2.75 Chrysalises per Megatron. In the IDW continuity (as close as I'm getting, given the source I'm using), Megatron is 38' tall (https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Official_sizes_and_heights#2005_IDW_continuity), so that puts Chrysalis at approximately 13.8' tall (hard maximum, very generous).

This puts her at a little over a foot outside of the Huge size class, so maybe if you want to treat her as a little bigger by saying "oh no she's floating a little bit behind him, so the scale is weird" then sure, we can do that. She barely makes Huge by being infinitely generous.

Okay, so, what if we used a slightly-less-ridiculous source material for her size? Perhaps... My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? Obviously not the first thing you'd think of, definitely you'd think of that after the Transformers thing, obviously. Regardless, she's like... 1.5-2x bigger than Starlight Glimmer, who is a Pony. A Pony is defined as "a horse of a small breed, especially one whose height at the withers is below 14 hands 2 inches (58 inches)." okay great, Starlight Glimmer is no bigger than 58 inches tall because we all agree Starlight Glimmer is a pony, though assuming Starlight Glimmer is the biggest possible pony seems unfair, we're trying to make Chrysalis as big as possible, so Starlight Glimmer is LARGE PONY.

So, how big does *that* make her? 87"-116" tall or 7.25'-9.6ish'. Okay we're nowhere near Huge now, but we're in the neighborhood of the biggest horse ever recorded (86.5"), and she has a big honkin' horn that counts towards her height, so she's just a REALLY BIG HORSE, which is a size class I'm happy to accept that she's in.

I don't have a conclusion.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Zmm8B_UOh0XonmScsbfr38JPlqsIYeX-05PrzLsNVE/edit?usp=sharing I made a campaign guide for my remix of Dark Skies Over Equestria. I may have gone insane. I highly recommend the adventure to others, especially the changeling path.

God, I really wanna play and DM just, way more games, it is frustrating idk many people who like the systems I like

[super-amogio-64]

I was helping my partner and a friend make d&d character sheets last night and then when I went to bed I had a dream about helping someone create a character sheet. the system was either D&D or essence20 and their character was a demon that looked like a normal shrimp. they rode a motorcycle and had a rat on their head pulling their antennae like ratatouille.

Toy is disappointed the Power Rangers RPG does not have stats for the Ranger Slingers. They never appeared in PR because Super Putty had a *lot* less impact than Dokiita Clay, but it's still a little annoying.

Recently I have been really getting into the Transformers ttrpg. I am in two Transformers game, which is wild because normally I be running the game instead of playing it.

My characters are Heavywing and Lunafrost.

Heavywing is a former Decepticon who couldn't stomach the things his brethren were doing and defected over to the Autobots. He is a triple changer able to switch between an Oshkosh and C-17 Globemaster III. Formerly experimented on by Decepticons, he has large gaps in his memory before waking up from the operating table.

Lunafrost is an Eukarrian Insecticon scientist who choose to join the Autobots after leaving her home planet. Her alt-mode is a Luna Moth. Her field of study is Energon and has been working hard on developing more efficient means of using it. She has her trusty research assistant Caterpult, caterpillar Mini-con, who can transform into her weapon.

It has been great playing both characters so much.
