Tl;dr: steampunk expedition to jungle temple.
One sentence: Journey through dangers physical and supernatural in search of hidden treasure as part of a group of steampunk adventurers!
Full: The year is 1877, the twentieth year in the reign of our beloved Queen. Expeditions have already returned from all over the world, and the map has been filled from the North Pole to the Orient with all manner of strange and wonderful treasures as the Empire expands around the globe. Sky-ships float above the spice-markets of India, Babbage Analytical Engines clack and rumble in Cairo, and even in the New World of Equestria where Princess Celestia reigns, the sound of the Gatling Gun is heard, for technology is at last making its glorious conquest over barbaric superstition, and the Age of Science is at hand. Telegraphs lines, shining locomotive tracks, roaring ships of the Royal Navy and even the sparking, electrifying Electro-Static Discharge Coils of the Russian-born Nikola Tesla can be seen and heard everywhere.
Yet for some gentleman and lady adventurers, the thrill of discovery lies not only in the machinery that drives the modern world, but also in the exploration of the deepest and darkest continent of them all: Africa! For within those mysterious jungles of savages and rabid creatures lie untold treasure and glory waiting for the lucky and the brave to find it! Already explorers have reported all manner of treasure, from gold and silver to rooms full of every sort of gemstone imaginable. Yet they also bring back rumor of strange curses and shadowy shapes lurking in forgotten ruins, and barbaric tribes of savages guarding the homes of their gods with spears and poisoned arrows!
You, and those others with you, are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime in search of all this and more. You are all gentlemen and ladies of some sort, though perhaps some of you have darker pasts unknown! The HMS Fortune, the finest Sky-Ship ever to fly from the gleaming brass and wood of Britain's Imperial Sky-Port, will be departing by the morrow. Who knows what may await you in the jungles of Africa?

Anyone interested? I'll post a sign-up once at least two others express interest.

World notes:
The USA got replaced by Equestria.
Talking ponies aren't weird anymore.

Rules:
GM has final say and can change rules whenever necessary
GM may choose assistant GMs
No controlling another's character. This also applies to GMs except in emergency situations.
If you must argue OOC, never take it beyond conversation (in-character fights welcome within reason).
Be polite OOC.
Nobody has higher rank than anypony else besides the GM and the assistant GMs, either in or out of character. You're no longer in Britain, you are in Africa, and rank means nothing when savages are after you.
Please do your best not to swear, especially OOC. Recall that this is the Victorian era.
Please participate as you can. Others may be waiting for your character to move before they can move.
No reversing time except by GM, and only in emergencies.
No "powers". You're all humans or ponies. You DO have steampunk technology within reason, but it must be listed.
No personal attacks at players. We are all respectable adventurers here.
Please keep violence to a minimum when it's not an "encounter". Encounters are introduced by the GM.
Please no mature themes here.
No involving others in backstories unless by permission.
No bringing about any sort of major disaster. This includes but is not limited to floods, tornadoes, droughts, plagues, and famines. If you "accidentally" trip a curse, your new job is to fix it.
Please sign up before playing.
Keep OOC in OOC. This is the OOC thread. Please use it.
Please limit yourself to 3 characters at the most, and play all of them.
Have fun!
