Equus: Turn of the Millenium is an RPG-lite Roleplaying community that takes place in a politically charged and potentially desolate future of the planet that plays host to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The community is built upon a foundation of a simulation of the world powered by the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron IV. The game provides the background, political events, and the world that the players inhabit and react to. It is referred to as the 'Simulation'. Organizations and nations rise and fall according to what the game says, we're just along for the ride. Fantasy has been replaced by industrialization, and heroes have been replaced by politics. The new face of the world that Equestria inhabits is changing rapidly, and the beings that inhabit the nations of the world are just trying to survive in it. You will play as a character within this world. Equus: TotM is designed to be played half as a roleplay chatroom, and half as a persistent text-based MMORPG. It is best experienced if you treat it as a large game of DnD with a single character that you use to inhabit and interact with those in the world around you. As opposed to DND, your character is not bound by stats or an inventory pool, and is limited mostly by the context of the simulation, as well as your motivations for the character. Your character won't be monitored for what they have in their posession or the skills they know - but a character is always the most interesting when put into situations where they are ill-equipped or unprepared. Roughly every week in real time, the simulation will be advanced by one month. At this time, the various channels will be updated with new information as to what has been happening in the world.
