My Little Pony XCVI: Long Live the King

So there isn't nearly as much talking about the Toyfair spoilers as I expected. I guess this thread really is just a handful of regulars posting now.

Speaking of Toyfair one mystery has been solved. How does Sunset Shimmer afford things in the human world?

Apparently she operates a Sushi Truck.

Well, the toys seem to be loaded with movie spoilers, so do take into consideration that some of us are avoiding the subject in order to avoid spoilers. :3

Until then, Bat Trixie!

Seems legit.

Lots of spoilers about season 7 and season 8 and the feature movie, but they haven't announced EG5 yet apparently.

EQG will have 3 shorts throughout the year, instead of a movie - which would probably detract/distract from the Movie, which is being all KINDS of insanely marketed right now (at least at the Toy Fair).

I don't think it's a movie spoiler to note that RoboTwi is adorable.

And once again I am reminded that I am not, in fact, immune to the uncanny valley.

Oh my god my heart



So much stuff at the toyfair... good god. I am going to go bankrupt this year, I know it.

It's the head tilt that clinches the adorableness for me.

Also adorable? Harmonizing Twilight and Spike figures. (Warning: song is from the movie.)

I'd post more, but I'm more a reactionary than a self-starter when it comes to such things

How . . . fitting? I don't suppose human Canterlot requires permits for those things?

I hear those three are actually full episodes, between 20 and 30 minutes long, not shorts of about 6 minutes length. I'm not sure if any of that excludes another Equestria Girls movie. EG2 was released during the hiatus between S4 and S5, but EG3 and EG4 were released while seasons were on, both on a weekend with a pony episode. The MLP feature movie is planned for 2017 autumn, which I think is after the conclusion of S7, so they could fit an EG5 film overlapped with the second half of the season, and put two of the three episodes in the mid-season hiatus.

I want a Trixie of this and I want it NAO! :D

Legs are slightly saggy, but that's otherwise really neat!

Harmonizing toys... haven't seen those since the Neopets did talking plushies of them. Need to donate the Shoyru I found over the weekend.

If it's anything like Orlando, getting a permit to run a 'roach coach' is pretty simple.

Yaaaay. Phase 2 complete (copying of all spells into one document). Now just phase 3 (any remaining Core, PHBII and SpC spells needing a quick note or fix) and then we can move to phase 4 (sort domains out) and/or phase 5 (update spell lists), which Manga Shoggoth has considerably helped with (I'll get back to you on the colour thing in the next day or two; got to start doing some actual CAD work again now...!), either of which can be done at any point.

Then I will actually have to PRINT all the stuff...!

(It's currently about 126+84 pages, so it's nearly a splat book in an off itself...! But it will replace a fair chunk of existant paper guff and a hard-back book, so it's a net saving anyway.)

[DigoDragon]

Now that moving is done with, I can get back to fanfic writing! Shadowtrot, chapter 2.

(It's currently about 126+84 pages, so it's nearly a splat book in an off itself...! But it will replace a fair chunk of existant paper guff and a hard-back book, so it's a net saving anyway.)

Sounds like an impressive book to me. Though I'd have to take it to Kinko's for printing. I gave up on owning a printer.

Tails of Equestria ships March 14. Apparently there's no PDF version planned, sadly.

There's no rush. I've already written the code for it. I was bored last night...

Too bad no pdf. At least a demo version so I can see if it's something I'd want?

[Aotrs Commander]

I was hoping to go through, in one last gasp, and get all the spells sorted out this evening and be ready for the next stage.

And then all the SpC/PHBII and CR1 errata (the former expecially) reared it's head.

I gave it my best shot; got down to Reincarnation, but it's probably another hour or two's stab before its done, plus the tidying.

But. The. End. Is. In. Sight!

Fer-racking FINALLY!

Phase two complete! All the spells are now are in and updated! 146 pages, this damn document (and 1217 entries..!) (But by the time I'd added all the spells that had changed, had errata and/or XP components that needed fixing...!)

Friday (since tomorrow is Nanny followed by sorting for Hammerhead), I can talk to Manga Shoggoth and maybe start looking to get the spell lists sorted...!

Uhhh, Mind filling me on what it is you are compiling spells for?

But look at how happy Celestia is. XD

Hmm, what could Luna gift in return just to give a little payback? A new telescope? One of those wearable lanterns?


Kicking butt and taking names.

And they're all out of names to take.

[Aotrs Commander]

Uhhh, Mind filling me on what it is you are compiling spells for?

a) My copy of Relics and Rituals was disintegrating, b) the spells we had were split across at least two files, c) many spells desparetely needed updating and improving oor had been and d) the players wanted an updated page reference to the ones in our existing list which referenced the original sources (compiled by hand a long time ago) and some times ago (two/three years something like that) I painstakingly transferred (from PDF) the spells (and feats/skill tricks and eventually most of the classes) from the splatbooks sans PHBII, SpC and the aforementioned R&R to decrease the amount of weight of books carried.



So, Manga Shoggoth is very kindly Doing Me Some Excel Formulas to help expedite the process of translating the table of contents to page references.. So tonight, at a loose end, what did I do?

I started the whole process all over again with Psionics.

I... I think I may have a problem.

This is 29 Acacia Road. And this is Erica - the filly who leads an exciting double life. For when Erica eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs!

Do you have both players who can use psionics, and players who can use arcane magic?

Nah. A few of the characters do though. There's about an an average of one psionic character in every party at the moment (save maybe one or two parties).
