FORGET DRAGONS! TIME FOR PONIES!!!1!

.yosh, who's totally cool I know him textd me to say that Wizards of the Coast is totally making a My Little Pony Roleplaying Game!! OMG! Now I don't have to play with that stupid dungeons and dragons book with all the impossibly clothed women characters. Ponies 4EVA! From the site: "If it's on Butterfly Island, it's in the My Little Pony RPG core rulebook, and we expect the book to be an invaluable tool for RPG fans and game developers alike,' said Jonathan Tweet, senior game designer with Wizards of the Coast. 'Not only will this RPG appeal to current fans of My Little Pony, but it will also help core roleplayers come to appreciate the depth and possibilities in this unique fantasy world. I know I did.'"

    The pink color burns my eyes. It's like a white-hot searing rod of pre-adolescent girlyness being thrust through my optic nerve.

    Do they even realize what kind of a gold mine they could be sitting on if they could actually license the characters? How many little girls and their mothers and babysitters could be introduced to role-playing games this way? Talk about a gateway drug. Every study ever shows that girls are interested in narrative play more than boys. This is a no-brainer.
