Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
Football (Hoofball?) is easy enough (and I'm assuming you're referring to what I would call gridiron here) - they can carry and throw the ball using their mouths, or rear on hind legs and throw using fore legs.
Basketball is a bit more problematic, yet we know it exists because one of the pegasus ponies teasing Rainbow Dash in Sonic Rainboom has a three basketballs cutie mark. Pony's tails seem to be remarkably prehensile - maybe they dribble the ball using their tails, and kick/head/throw the ball through the hoop?
Soccer is easy - it just adds a third dimension to the game, with a lot more heading and kicking the ball skyward. It would be an awesome game to watch.
As for footraces, I would say that they would mostly operate on an honour system for pegasi, much as many other sports would rely on unicorns to gain an unfair advantage using their horns - unless the sport had specific rules for unicorn magic.
Swimming? No problems there - nopony is at a particular advantage or disadvantage, though earth ponies would presumably be better swimmers due to usually being stronger than pegasus or unicorn ponies.
Underwater basket weaving? Advantage "unicorn", I'm afraid.

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
some not so easy
cricket
ladybug
hot pink flamingo
squirrel----i seem to remember a SquirrelBoy from somewhere but cant remember exactly where
The others, well, there are a LOT of third rate comic book superheroes, I'm sure a cricket, ladybug, or flamingo themed hero has shown up at least once.Proof-reading is totally unnecessary in the digital age now that we have spell cheque.

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
I expect that a lot of sporting competitions would be restricted by pony type ever overall or by role; football might use unicorn quarterbacks (like Rarity's dad!). I wonder if "no wings or horns" is known as the Discord rule?
Or dribble with their heads and shoot with their forelegs.

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
Back from BroNYCon! Wooo! Was super awesome meeting SiuiS, Braz, T-Fox and the one or two other thread ponies who's names currently escape me! Time for a QUOTE WALL OF DOOOOOMMM!!! I'll wait until the end to put up anything about BroNYCon as I want to see if anypony else wrote anything about it first.
...You still haven't reliched Hopereaver? Wouldn't she want her innards outside so she can be undead again?
Quoted for later listening.
I once rolled a D6 and it stopped on one of it's corners. On a flat table. Without resting against anything. Many ponies lost their sanity that day.
HA! Sweet Apple Capers! I keep recommending that one to people, and did so a lot at BroNYCon, but I couldn't remember what it was called and that was driving me insane! Thank you good lich, now excuse me while I make a few Autohypnosis rolls in an attempt to remember that.
Bugger. When I saw you doing your little sketches I probably should have asked to see anything else you had done over the weekend!

Hooray for an inability to tell my brain to stop focusing on something!

Yeah, I facepalm'd when they showed the timberwolves. Such a horrible pun. This show has the best original monsters.

Also nopony told the CMC that they also had to write the friendship reports.

I don't think they ever actually said which village/city the earth ponies settled when they moved in. For all we know it could have been Manehattan.
Agreed with the fury of a thousand Pinkieshy's!
New Ep
Spoiler
Just to let you know, someone mentioned that there's a Wood Element Creature template in the Manual of the Planes. In case you're interested.
This made me lol so hard.
New Ep
Spoiler
It would also earn her the rage of a certain filly.
I'm really starting to wish I had grabbed your number sometime sooner in case we needed to get in touch. I could have thrown my pencils and notebook at you to keep you amused. Or just gone and chilled with you guys. Either way.
Don't forget the closet inside a closet!
And yeah, I'm just going to go with us being really cool. The only way I can justify to myself people paying as much as they did for some of those plushies at the auction is that they knew the money was all going to the next con. There were only a few things (ie Pinkie Cake) that I thought were really worth the money that people paid for them. (Well, maybe not worth the money, but I could at least understand why they would hit that high in an auction)
In my defence I don't recall that conversation ever happening!
...Though if it did that's exactly how it would have gone... Did I mention I'm horrible at describing things? Because I am.
Though on the bright side I was able to identify Braz immediately upon seeing her, and I was also able to determine neither of the guys standing near her was you. No I don't know how it works, she just looked like I would expect Braz to look. And no, I can't tell you how I had expected her to look because I'm horrible at describing things. And no, that's not the first time I've managed to do this either.
Gotta ask, do your players actually base any of their decisions on the models they see? If they saw a model with a bunch of visible guns on it would they start targeting those guns to disable them? Because if so having a bunch of relatively weak weapons that were visible would be a great way to get them to waste time and resources, only to have them find out that the real weapons systems aren't actually visible at all.
Oh Celestia you said her name three times. What have you done?
Inorite? Seriously, I was walking around in a t-shirt in early January. What the hay New Yorkers?!
Not so sure boxing itself is off as we've seen Dash is willing to resort to fisticuffs (hoofticuffs?) if needed. I'm just not too sure how well ponies would be able to manage boxing. Might need to find a better way for them to beat on each other, maybe a head-butting competition?
Totally looking forward to this! I think I might challenge myself to do this entirely by modifying the art on some MTG cards. Could be interesting to see how many themes I can force to fit into those little frames and find cards that fit them.
Tired. Forgot how exhausting long-distance cons can be. Slept just about the entire bus ride home, then slept for a good 4 or 5 hours after. Still quite tired. But as usual was totally worth it.
Hehehe, I love that part.
I'm going to stick Applejack as being more of an endurance athlete. Between the two Rainbow Dash is definitely faster, but how long can she maintain her speed? In a race as long as The Running of the Leaves Applejack probably has an edge because, though she isn't as fast as Dash is, she can probably maintain her higher speeds longer.
That and it's entirely possible Rainbow Dash never really bothers exercising her legs. She does seem to have a hard time keeping herself grounded.
...You planning on animating that? Because that's a great idea.
Oh gods, that show.
Anyway, some stuff from BroNYCon. My phone was largely dead the entire time I was there (listening to music for the entire 11-12 hours it took me to get there, then found out I hadn't packed my charger after all, then found out the next day I actually had but didn't have time to charge it) so I couldn't get any pictures. But here's pictures of things I made on my way there. I had a really long bus ride, so I brought some stuff to work on to see if I could do anything good while on the bus. This is the result:
Spoiler
Also SiuiS decided to test how difficult writing a friendship report with one's mouth really is.
Spoiler
He had put down a little card on which he had sketched Starry Notions, so I decided to see how hard it would be to paint with your mouth.
Spoiler
And finally a sketch of Pinkie Pie being adorable from Ego.
Spoiler
Overall the con was great. Opened up by wandering off to McDonald's at like 3am with three people I didn't know. Then went back to the hotel room and got some sleep in a room with 5-6 people I didn't know. Then got in line to get a ticket and played some games with people I didn't know. (I keep a small stash of quick games with me at all times for fear of death by boredom) And that's largely how the con went for me. A lot of me chilling with total strangers who were all really cool (and seriously talented) people. (Really. I swear everyone I talked to had provided something to this community I was familiar with. One of them had made some of the sprites for Desktop Ponies (ie FillyDash), another did a bunch of TF2 stuff, I even spent a good amount of time Sunday chilling with the guy who made the colouring books (Garret). Turns out he's the one working on the Recobbled edition of The Thief and the Cobbler. ) I swear, I love this fandom. It was the friendliest con I've ever been to.
Oh, and also, this was in the auction.
Spoiler
That's a solid sugar cake.

Damn you, childhood trauma!
What he said.
Nah, when we figured out thanks to Lixi's meddling, my magical girl form has all my Lich powers, plus a few, I decided I was cool with it. (One of the other draws is this form actually being kinda Undead sorta (it's complicated)... I've noticed more than one biological functions that I don't need to worry about much anymore - heck it took me a while to realise they were even missing, having been a Lich for a while...) It's nice to have hair again, for one. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, hair was a pretty minor sacrifice for Lichdom, but if I can have my cake and eat it too...
And I look so much cuter with hair!
Pffftahahahahaha!
Ah, me, that t'were a good one, Hopereaver...

The way the damage system works is that every system (e.g. weapons, drives, crew) basically generates it's own hit point, and they all go on a damage track (where damage is marked off right-to-left). Shields basically create a pool extra hit points every round, and armour is also modelled as hit points (the different being the former two are considered to be on different layers, so having both is a good idea to prevent lucky shots (of which there is a 15% chance per D20) of punching through to the much much vulnerable hull, as some weapons do only one point to armour or shields, but D6 to the hull). You can choose to shoot specific hit slots, i.e. systems, but in order to do any damage, you still have to get through the shields and armour, so generally it's used for disabling vessels for capture, if you don't have special weapons.
That said, you sort of could do that, by slapping some weak minimum size weapons on the ship, and putting them after the armour on the track (indeed, you could argue that the Saiyvali's Class 1 Pulse weapons do exactly that, though the point of them being "weak" weapons is somewhat debatable). But generally, you don't want the enemy to be getting any hits past your shields and armour (you'd be better protected juts using the say same for more armour or shields, of bigger drives (which would give you a higher target number).

Re: My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know
Is that... the daughter of Gilda and RD?
Well, I guess I can't really talk, seeing how I'm the person who created hypothetical daughters for all the mane cast.
and on the same subject, I'm thinking about renaming my AJ+RD (currently called Apple Stripes) "Zap Apple" after the last episode, but I'm not sure. It fits better with the apple family theme (and I really liked this episode) but I'm not quite sure it sounds right....

Nonsense, of course he's a bunny! He's got those big ear things and everything! Not in the face NOT IN THE FACE!
You are a horrible person.
Well whatever works for you. Which suddenly raises a question. I'm pretty sure this has been covered before, but do liches feel pain? I think the answer last time was only really if rainbows are involved, but can't quite remember if there was anything else.
*Hides a notebook behind his back*
Nuts. Would have made a great little surprise if your players did it more often, though you're right that you don't normally want any hits at all. What if the visible weapons systems were actually devices that absorb energy weapons fire to help give the ship a power boost? Would still need to find a way to convince the enemy to shoot it, and it might help with the whole thing of the enemy having to punch through your shields first as you can use a chunk of the energy to boost the shields back up.
I vote for adorable.

2) Which of these do you think would be more appealing to MLP fans?
A standard board game
A card based board game like the OotS game
A standard card game like poker or Uno
A trading card game
