Pony Creation

Building your character

Making a Tails of Thedastria pony is a straightforward process that you can complete in ten easy steps. The steps are listed here, and the rest of the section covers each step in order.
To play in a game of Tails of Thedastria, you must first make a pony. This is your alter ego in the land of Thedastria, the persona you’ll be taking on as you experience exciting and perilous adventures. Now, it doesn’t have to be only a pony; that is a general term for your character. Since your pony is the focus of your play experience, making the right pony for you is quite important. If you end up with a pony you find unappealing or who isn’t fun to play, your enjoyment of the game will diminish. So don’t be afraid to take some time and put some thought into creating your pony. This section explains the whole process and provides examples so you can see how it’s done. When you are finished, you’ll have a pony ready to play.
The first time you read this section, you will come across rules and terms you don’t understand yet. Don’t panic. You’ll learn everything you need to know as you work your way through the Esoterica from Thedastria section, and you’ll want to at least skim the whole section before you sit down to make a pony. Also remember that there is a glossary in this wiki. You can look up important terms there at any time.
Before you start making a pony, you will need a pony sheet. You’ll use this record to keep track of your pony’s various abilities and powers. You can create one here on World Anvil or print out a PDF file at River Horse Games.
