Do your PCs walk around town in armor?

If it's not a player character, it won't trigger a panic attack in the GM, so no appeal to the historical presence or non-presence of armoured ponies is needed. Maybe you should just ride on it, if it's a carousel pony that goes up and down (the stationary ones are boring).

Best armour in town? The toad familiar in a thick iron box with breating holes. At a pinch you can even use it as a weapon.

I took a hiatus from Season 2 because it was seeming so horrible.

She's 3rd lvl now, IIRC, and can afford two more ponies now, but has to buy just one otherwise she won't have enough money to feed them. She did get the Cloak of Elvenkind from her 'new aunty' Greenteeth (the hag). She had a hearty meal at aunty's, and promises to leave tokens of her adventures in the village the next time she's through (but won't enter the forest, of course).

Quote from: Bren;853780But if that's what town is like, how do the mundane townspeople survive long enough to build a town?

This is an important point for me when I design settings.

Of course, sometimes towns on the border don't survive.

How else did those abandoned ghost towns get there? Sure some just picked a bad spot to settle. No well, poor soil, mine played out. Others though are raided and wiped out.

Some times it is cyclic. One of the neet touches in Hoard of the Dragon Queen was that castle in the swamp. It was abandoned not one but twice before the villains renovated it a third time. And if the PCs have any say in the matter its going to be seeing abandonment #3.

Leaving a horse in armor and harness longer than necessary and giving them no rubbing or brushing after a long ride is cruel behavior and will eventually cause an alignment slide to Chaotic Evil.  :mad:

Well it is the pony's fault for not taking their armour off when they entered town and then trampling people. So I think the pony's slide into evil was well on its way before this trampling incident.

Frankly ponies can hardly be expected to reasonably defend themselves with the current Stand Your Ground laws in place.

I have to admit I liked Adventure League season 2 better than season 1. What did you find horrible?

Very narrow solutions to the adventure, needless high aggro and surprise combats, and several had rather linear impels forward. Played at least three and overheard quite a few more. Was not impressed compared to Season 1 branching and circumvention potential.

I was thinking more of Encounters, which followed the released campaign books; the Dragon Queen was way more linear than Princes of the Apocalypse. (I can only judge to 5th-6th level, since then we've moved on to the next season.) Expeditions, to the extent that I've done it, has been a mixed bag, but maybe I haven't done enough, with only about four from each season. The style may have shifted as you describe because of pressure to have them run always in a given amount of time.
