The Pony-citizens of Equestria were living in a glorious era under Goddess Princess Celestia. Cultures were brought together, plagues and monsters were vanquished, and farming met industrialization with harmony. All was well...
Until, something happened to the Princess. Whatever was the cause; whether a curse took hold of her mind, or a latent illness took effect, the Princess turned from a Benevolent Ruler to a Fascist Despot. Genocide, slavery, racism, famine and despair swept over the land, turning the skies from blue to gray and the grass turning blood red.
That is where you come in. You can fight Princess Celestia as a former Pony-subject, a human, or another form of being willing to take up arms. Will it be a hopeless bloodbath or a revolution? The fate is in you and your comrades hands. Good luck.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RollToDodgePrincessCelestia)
If any of you guessed, this RTD was inspired by the "Roll to dodge Mr. T!" thread. The basic plot is that a group of players fight an extraordinarily powerful Final-Boss type situation. In this case, it is Princess Celestia. She is God-like in abilities, including but not limited to flight, magic, brute strength, cursing, weapons, necromancy, seduction, illusions and etc.
Players call 'actions' each turn. First, a 'Turn' will commence in which each active player calls out an action(s) for their character. I roll a dice for each action(s) taken, which lands between 1 (not a good roll at all) to 6, (a very good roll.) The number will determine the effectiveness of the actions. After the players actions are rolled, Princess Celestia and her allies will take a turn doing their own actions. The final point of each turn will be friendly NPCs taking actions.
The game starts out with 6 players battling, and as time goes on, some and possibly all of them will die. However, reinforcements and special events will let players on the Waitlist jump in.
Important Rules:
1. As GM, my word is final. Though I will be as just and fair as possible.
2. You must play as a Character listed in the "Playable Characters" section. Though I might include a new character is it is suggested and popular. Key word, might.
3. There can be multiple versions of the same character fighting simultaneously. (That's why each player must pick a certain color for their character.)
4. If Princess Celestia feels overpowered, that's the point. This game punishes head on suicide-charges and rewards tactics and teamwork.
5. New Characters will be added periodically.
6. Have fun!
