Houses and Homes
Advanced Rule
While not always a part of standard play, it is wise to consider where your pony lives. Everypony begins the game with a home of their own: a reasonably sized cottage in the same town (usually Ponyville). The cottage is basically one large room with a kitchen and living area, and it’s usually enough for most ponies. But as your pony gains fame and fortune, you may wish to improve your abode. This might be by adding extensions or even buying or building a new house entirely.
The guidelines presented here are designed to offer you a very basic set of options to develop your home. Consider them an optional starting point and a general guide for expanding the property.
Each time your pony gains a level in their Role, they may add an improvement to their home. Each improvement can do one of three things:
Add a Room
You increase the size of your house by another ordinary room. An ordinary room can be a bedroom, sitting room, study or just an empty storage room. It is up to you where these new rooms go. You might spread out the house like a mansion, pile them up to make a tower, or build them into a palace. It is assumed all new rooms connect in some way to suit your design with doors, stairs and hallways etc.
Upgrade a Room
You may make a room you already have special in some way. This might be turning it into a laboratory, medical center, professional kitchen, or art studio etc. Essentially, you pick a kit and turn the room into one big version of it. So a medical center would allow you to assume you have a medical kit as long as you are in it.
Increase Garden
Everyone likes a little greenery and this option increases your garden by ten square feet. The garden might be open park, a maze, full of statues or a safari park. It’s up to you what you put in it and how big it gets. Some ponies might focus on building their garden more than their house. New rooms can be placed in the garden (instead of improving the main house) as small gatehouses, sheds, etc.
