Alrightgames: Tails of Equestria – Tabletop Weekly Playthrough

My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria – Tabletop Weekly Playthrough

2017 / Roleplaying game adventure / 2+ players

***

I dipped into this YouTube series last year to get an idea of how to start a roleplaying game in the first place, and used the example of the Bubblegum character to help my then-four-year-old understand the process of creating her own unique character. She liked it and decided she would just do that one.

More recently, we ran out of official adventures for the game and I decided we would just do this one. It got a bit creepy in the middle (I didn't have to play that haunted mansion backing music, to be fair), and more fighty at the end than we can be bothered with (I haven't really tracked stamina since 2024), but the writer's probably correct that it feels more like the show than the published adventures do. Their playthrough would have been a whole episode shorter if their team had decided to run straight upstairs like ours did.
