Speaking of pony games

by oboreruhito, concerning the matter of Ponies

Via /. (which recently went pink to appeal to a more female demographic and subsequently slashdotted poor widdle Cute Overload right off the Internet for a while), I bring you the most exciting development in tabletop RPGs in a long time, right from Wizards of the Coast: My Little Pony: the Role Playing Game.

Mothers and daughters will be delighted to be the first to experience the My Little Pony Roleplaying Game, coming this August from Wizards of the Coast, a developer and publisher of game-based entertainment products and a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc., (NYSE:HAS). This first-of-its-kind roleplaying game features characters inspired by the legendary My Little Pony storyline.

Leveraging opportunities between Hasbro’s core girl brand and Wizards of the Coast’s most popular game formats, the My Little Pony RPG marks an exciting d20 experience for girls ages 3-7, a previously unexplored segment of the roleplaying game marketplace.

The My Little Pony RPG uses the game system of the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game, featuring custom-designed ponies with rules for choosing a wide range of pony colors, hair styles, accessories such as “cutie marks,” and powers such as “rainbow flight” and “find-and-seek”. Containing both adventures (foiling the nefarious “Dark Rustler”) and adventure hooks (collecting the most butterflies and rainbow berries), the My Little Pony RPG core rulebook presents a fully detailed world, with such popular locations as Celebration Castle, Twinkle Twirl’s Dance Studio, and the Cotton Candy Café.

...

In addition to creating their own ponies, players have the opportunity to meet and adventure with such iconic characters as SPARKLEWORKS, TWINKLE TWIRL, CHERRY BLOSSOM, and GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE. Wizards of the Coast will offer a preview of the My Little Pony Roleplaying Game through the My Little Pony Birthday Club via Hasbro.com/mylittlepony. Club members will be the first to learn how to play this exciting new game.

Wizards of the Coast says the whole project will introduce D&D-style roleplaying to a whole new generation of kids. But what does this mean for the future of D&D?

We’ll be doing more on the D&D side of things to make the transition that much easier for these incoming players—meaning, you can expect future adventures to be more “mount-friendly” so to speak. These MLP players will be used to adventuring as ponies, so they’ll likely come to D&D with expectations of bringing their mounts (horses or otherwise) from the beginning of the adventure to the end. Paladins’ warhorses will certainly see some attention, as will centaurs and other tauric creatures as player character races.

YESSSS!

My Trip to the Game Developers Conference

by gus andrews, concerning the matter of Ponies, Puppies, Technological Advances

I went to the game developers Conference it was fun. You wouldnt think so because some games might have guns and those games are mostly for big Boys but there were a lot of cute games there especially the ones made by people from schools. Someone even turned a game about fighting into a different game about hamsters.

There was Dofus, thats a roll playinggame it is from France and it was the most popular and so it won the Audience award. Nintendogs have the best technology and immolations so they gave them prizes for that.

My friend Jess liked the glow-worm game. I wanted to play the game about clouds but there was a line. Also if you like to spell things, like I do there was a game about spelling or if you like fairytales there was a game about that.

I made a lot of new friends like Julia who makes really really really REALLY funnie cartoons and games [Ed note: imagine Bill Plympton was a really cool nine year old girl who was more into dancing than gross-out jokes. no, that's not your head exploding, that's your brain dancing] and I hung out with my friends Satu and Osa from Habbo Hotel who are Finnish (that means they are from Finland not that they are done with anything).

The most important thing was I got to tell a man from the company that makes dudgeons for this game that what I really wanted was my pony but I dident get one before I turned 40 and I never turned 40. He laughed and I think he dindnt understand that having a pony is important to some people mostly girls. I told him that if he wanted his game to win game of the Year he was going to have to give people ponys from the beginning because thats why the Game that won this year won the prize.

p.s. the hotel where I stayed had cinammon buns for breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can tell that we are going to be friends

An Upscale Pony Custom Show

by gus andrews, concerning the matter of Ponies

My Little Pony customization has long been the province of trekkies, cosplayers, fanfic writers, and other assorted fangirls. And yet somehow, seemingly unaware of this widespread phenomenon, a New York City art show devoted to My Little Pony customs has sprung up. Remodellers include famous fashion labels like Paul Frank and Betsey Johnson, as well as grafitti artists. Exhibits range from ponies which resemble the wildest dreams of custom artists themselves, to ponies which walk the line of custom-community acceptability; some which seem to aspire to "higher" art forms; and some more conceptual works, some of which are intentionally creepy.

Cuddles the Seeing-Eye Pony

by C. Fernsebner, concerning the matter of Ponies

Adorable former roommate Laura has brought it to our attention that "the best part about Cuddles is that she requires sneakers to prevent her from slipping on slick man made floors."

Pygmy seeing-eye ponies love to sit in your lap and crawl into bed with you while you sleep, but Cuddles' owner wants to build her "a little barn with a little corral of her own because I don't really feel you should take away what she really is and that's a horse." As Laura says: "Cuddles is what the My Little Ponies only wish they could be."
