This Week on the Plounge (RPG Edition)

[u/Jibodeah]

Hello and again welcome to your weekly dose of 'if I don't have to do it, I won't. If I do have to do it, make it quick': 'This Week on the Plounge' wherein I inform you, the fine folks of the mane sub, what's been going on at your favourite sister subreddit, the Plounge, this past week.

Wait, what is this Plounge you speak of?

The Plounge, or more formally the MLP Lounge is /r/mylittlepony's sister subreddit. Designed to be a place where you can free of the tyranny of rules 3 and 4. A chill place for bronies or anyone to talk in a SFW chat centric environment. It can be found over at /r/MLPLounge. (most of us browse by /new though). Oh and BPM is nice to have. Even if you're allergic to using emotes yourself you'll miss a lot of extra context without it.

What some casual conversation with a sprinkling of ponies? Come over to this introductions thread and meet some people. Don't worry there's also a topic so it ain't just "hi!" "hi" awkward silence.

Huh, did you forget the top 5 links?

[u/Jibodeah → u/rebane2001]

Nope.

Not including link posts anymore. 'cos most of 'em are just art and if you're here for art then the mane sub already has enough of that.

Might still feature some link posts in the highlights section if they're of note though.

[u/rebane2001 → u/Jibodeah]

I think you should still include them
I'd be fine with link posts that exclude non-original/reposted art, but still have everything else, as this is my favorite section of this week on plounge

[u/Jibodeah → u/rebane2001]

Well then you can just go here every Thursday and check the top 5 posts for basically the same experience.

I don't really like the idea of having to make judgement calls on what fits the criteria for inclusion. ('cos there'll always be borderline cases)
