Ponyfinder - Forgotten Gods of Everglow
by Matthew P. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/13/2015 04:11:28

I just love the things Silver Games chooses to focus on when making a product.

This is not just a chart with gods and their domains. Each god has a full color image, all kinds of revelations and character options, a full background, and most important to a GM and something Pathfinder could use, a table for Knowledge (Religion) describing what someone would know about that god! THANK YOU!

Ponyfinder - Flights of Honor, Pegasi of Everglow
by Matthew P. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/13/2015 03:59:23

Another great Ponyfinder expansion, with the new standard layout that really pops!

I very much liked the way the writer thinks - as both a player, but always with a GMs eye towards balance. For example Pegasi can fly of course... but get serious armor restrictions if they do. Nothing is free!

Naming guide - yes please! One binding thread throughout all the Ponyfinder books is a focus on making everything special and unique, so elements like the Naming guide, and also the critical "How do other tribes view this tribe?" sections are absolutely essential, and this one is well done per usual.

My favorite part was the Cloud Walker trait - you'll have to buy it to see what I mean!

Ponyfinder - Heart of Diamonds
by Matthew P. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/13/2015 03:51:46

I've been waiting for this! Gem ponies are my favorite.

This review focuses on four elements for its 5 stars.

1) Not only is the exposition really well written, there is a good bit of it for a book of its size. This is not just a few quick stat blocks, and out the door. I got the extra material and lore for which I was hoping!

2) New all-time high watermark for artwork! It keeps getting better and better.

3) Same for the overall layout, fonts, background pages. Whether its from growing experience or Patreon supporters, the production values are leaps and bounds above the first Ponyfinder material, comparable to any game product out there.

4) Ok, the stat blocks now =) In particular, the new discoveries are excellent and, as usual, Silver Games drops a few balanced but out of the box option s for you, so as a GM you can feel confident they are playable but as a player you can get excited by the imagination displayed.

5 stars! Can't wait for more.

Ponyfinder - Tower of Misery
by Kris S. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/28/2015 01:46:21

I ran an adaptation of this with Fate Accelerated Edition rules, with three players, and they enjoyed it. (My bias is toward rules-light systems.) My impression is that it's a decent Pathfinder-style adventure, similar to Paizo's "Master of the Fallen Fortress": a standard dungeon crawl with an obvious goal, a few battles, and various rooms to loot. It's also nice to see it laid out as a structure that someone actually used, as opposed to a maze seemingly designed just to challenge adventurers.

What I don't like is that for me, there was nothing that made me think, "Everglow is a unique and interesting fantasy setting I should buy the book for," or even "That one cartoon lends itself well to a tabletop RPG adventure". The only real nod to the fact that the PCs are ponies is an area with a low ceiling, which might matter. The fact that your PCs might have wings for skipping to the upper floor isn't addressed. In fact, I don't see a mention in there of what species the tower's owner and his friends were; were they ponies or what? Does it matter? So, the adventure doesn't hook me the way it was probably meant to do, but you may still enjoy it.

Ponyfinder - Campaign Setting
by Skjalg K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/26/2015 20:15:06

I bought this book expecting nothing much. I'm not a brony, or even particularly fond of the MLP tv-show. I thought I'd maybe find some small piece of material that I liked, and could use for something else.

Instead, what I found was an exellent campaign setting lovingly crafted by talented people.

Ponyfinder is good. Its surprisingly good. The world is alive and exciting, the rules are solid and mostly well balanced, and the whole book oozes style and wonder. This is a campaign setting unlike any other, and is quickly becoming one of my favourite 3rd party lines for the Pathfinder roleplaying game. If you are not a part of the My Little Pony fandom, don't be put off by the looks of this book. There is real depth and maturity to this setting. It's not a book for children (though children would no doubt love it), but for all fantasy fans who like wonder and magic in their roleplaying games. The world of Everglow is a magical place, and contains a certain childlike wonder seen through adult eyes. There is darkness there, monsters and villains and malevolent gods, but there is hope and light in equal measure. If you like fairy-tales and fantastical stories, then this book might be for you! Certainly take a look at it, and don't dismiss it simply because it's about talking ponies.

If you are like me, then Ponyfinder will resonate with you in a meaningful way. I am excited for this setting, and am eagerly awaiting new updates and publications for this wonderful world.

Ponyfinder - Campaign Setting
by Rob T. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/02/2015 19:25:44

Ya know, in full disclosure, I backed this as a joke. Really, I thought I'd get the pdf, show it to my usual group, we'd laugh about yet another easy cash in on a popular thing using the D&D system and that'd be that.

Here my group is finishing up our campaign of Ponyfinder and legitimately feeling it's one of our favorite third party campaign settings.

I think most any veteran gamer has had experiences with fan games. It's great that fans are so into a thing they want to pay homage to it, but really let's be honest, most are not good. Clunky shoehorning of a world that doesn't fit into the system, poorly written rules and guides, a focus on 'hey you like this character YOU CAN PLAY WITH THIS CHARACTER OMG' rather than anything else. It's not a good time either as a fan or as a gamer. Now I see this game, a 25 dollar campaign setting clearly inspired by the big MLP craze and I was bracing for yet another cringeworthy book.

What a treat it is, then, when it can take me from one of the most hostile audiences possible to a big fan.

The fact is this is a rare fan inspired campaign setting that takes time and care to respect both the setting and the system, and the product is an excellent blending. The world and races, while obviously based on the popular MLP foundation (including some nods to older generations, which is nice), is handled in a distinct way to make it feel like a product that can stand on it's own two legs. The inclusion of non-pony races makes the world feel more alive, and the world is broken up in such a why that, while it still has the 'cartoony' geography of things like 'this is the bad dark scary kingdom' and 'here's the not-Arabian desert style area', the places themselves feel organic and functional within the realm of D&D high fantasy.

There's thought given to how the assorted classes 'work' in this kind of setting, it doesn't take much work to go for the typical 'unicorns are magic-inclined' type stuff but they provide a reasonable explanation for all all the core Pathfinder classes came to be and function within this setting. There is the rather awkward bit of 'the horse cavalier rides a horse' but to be honest that can be side stepped well enough that it's hardly a determent, just kinda something to chuckle at the mental image of.

There's lots of breadcrumbs in this book to spark campaigns, not just within the pony filled setting, but in games that take place beyond the lands of Everglow, including settlements and the like within its borders where ponies and other such creatures are in the minority as the 'outside world' pushes in.

The best part is the game itself takes a very open tone. By that I mean, with very little rejiggering, this campaign setting can be light and and cheery for a younger crowd, or you can take a few different dangling hooks and add some more dark elements. Best of all it does this without the always just plain boring and awkward shoving in of 'grim dark' in a setting based on a kid's show. Oh yes how original what if all these happy characters actually were sad and died, brilliant. Thankfully this setting avoids that, and even at its darkest there's elements of whimsy and light behind it. It's a setting for all ages that neither coddles or panders to, and that's a rarity in this hobby. Our only real complaints in the campaign were issues we had with Pathfinder as a whole (not our favorite system) but really it feels unfair to blame the setting for those. Ponyfinder did nothing to make those existing problems WORSE, so I can't really knock points off for them not taking it upon themselves to 'fix' the core system.

In my group we're all grown people, but after a couple sessions a friend of mine with a little girl bought herself a copy and ran a few little one-shots for her and her friends who like MLP. She was happy to say that the kids loved what she ran, and hoped that in the future if they become interested in RPGs they'll be able to remember that experience to avoid the feeling of it not being 'for girls' and such. I think a setting that can both entertain adults and give a fun time to kids should be praised in this hobby, and that, at its core, is what this is.
