Guest Author’s Note: “It took a significant chunk of willpower to not call this page NLP. Anyways, computers are weird. I mean, really weird when you break it all down. We basically found some special rocks, and we learned that if you stimulate the rocks in a precise way, you can pass information through said rocks, and that information can be translated by different rocks into new forms of information and now we have YouTube, so we’re still dumb as rocks when you really boil it down.

In RPGs, I find that if the game doesn’t involve technology and the DM introduces it, it ends up being treated as magical anyways, so I’ve always felt arcana is a good substitute. And in games with technology…

Well, it’s still pretty magical there too. Story Time prompts about sufficiently advanced tech?

Unrelated: In this scene, I found out that Twilight in human forms bumps her fists together when pleased, because it’s the human equivalent to her pony equivalent of clapping.”

Newbiespud’s Note: We started a brand new Spudventure, with myself at the helm, this past weekend! We’re going back to the Stars Without Number system, to reboot the voyages of the starship Takeout!

Transcript:

Transcript: MD: Did you figure out what you want to study yet, Twilight?
Twilight Sparkle: What sorts of books does the library have?
AJ: Were we finished, or…?
MD: Oh, you know, the usual. Typical high school stuff. Textbooks, Young Adult Fiction, Classics, Plays, Yearbooks, Biographies, Reference Material, Comics, Newspaper Clippings, Microfilm, equipment manuals…There are some computers too, for on-line research.
Twilight Sparkle: Twilight will probably start there.
MD: Great! Equestria doesn’t have computers, right?
Twilight Sparkle: Oh. Right. Okay, what should I roll to figure this out?
MD: Arcana. After all, any advanced technology is indistinguishable from-
Twilight Sparkle: Magic! Thanks.
<roll>
Twilight Sparkle: You have to be kidding me!
PP: It can’t be that bad. Oh, that’s a 1. I guess it can.
