Essence20 Worlds Collide: The Pony Puzzle
What is Worlds Collide: The Pony Puzzle?
Worlds Collide: The Pony Puzzle is the second Essence20 multi-table mega event where groups of 6th level Player Characters, each at their own table with their own Game Master, work together for 3 hours to accomplish a united goal while a Master of Ceremonies oversees the event, tracking their victories and announcing their progress. Each team of heroes will need to work together to figure out puzzles to unlock areas for adventure, then either travel to the area or focus on the next puzzle, until they unlock and explore every area! If players make it far enough, they just may discover what has caused their universes to collide, and solve the ultimate puzzle - find a way home!
Attendees will take home a swag bag which includes a coupon to pick up one free RPG book of your choice at the booth, or from the webstore!
Check out this helpful guide on creating crossover characters for this event!
Adventure Teaser
Hundreds of heroes from different worlds suddenly teleport to a field outside of Ponyville, right by Sweet Apple Acres. Some of these heroes thought they were teleporting home after defeating Lord MindWaveZ and saving the multiverse. Others were home and have no idea where they are or why. On top of that, traveling between dimensions changed some of these heroes, giving them brighter hair, insignias on their skin, and animal attributes.
