FORGET DRAGONS! TIME FOR PONIES!!!1!

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ponies-and-polyhedrals dept.

.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.'"

    As long as there is no "hot coffee" mod....

  2. Butterfly Island by Delphix · · Score: 5, Funny

    The fact that a slashdot editor knows that the ponies from My Little Pony are from Butterfly Island scares the shit out of me.

    Or rather, I'm assuming knows, as no self-respecting geek like myself would dare look up.

    Now its reminds me of that kid in school who got way too excited about something and couldn't stop talking about it.

    You must be new here.

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

  6. The saddest thing about a MLP RPG... by waferhead · · Score: 3, Informative

    Is that it would probably be VERY popular.

    The BS online "RPG" that 2 of my granddaughters and ALL THEIR FREINDS play isn't too far from a MLP universe..
    Change some graphics, change the music...

    The Horror.

    I know it's April 1, but some things SHOULD NOT even be spoken of jokingly.

  7. Why is this a joke? by porcupine8 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    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.
