Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Hey Bleakbane, are you familiar with Konosuba? Particularly the light novels. They have a lich bullying a vampire and I thought of you.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
It's a comedic take on the Isekai genre, and yes it has both an anime and manga adaptation of the light novels. Personally, I prefer the anime (specifically the sub, as there is a joke involving the character's voices that the dub does not catch), but I really wanted to know the full story so I went and found a translated version of the light novels.
The scene of the lich bullying a vampire happens pretty late in the light novels, so it hasn't been adapted to the anime yet. But it's pretty funny, so I figured I'd mention it to you.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
When you say "bully" what do you mean specifically? Because as a kid who was bullied in school, I uh... Don't particularly like the idea of that being depicted as a good thing.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Spoiler: SpecificallyThe protaganist was powerleveling with a lich and a greater devil (long story) in the biggest dungeon of the world. They made it to the final room where the boss of the dungeon launched into a big elaborate speech, introducing himself as the feared king of the undead, a Vampire.
The lich and devil begin mocking him for his arrogance in calling himself the king of undead in the presence of a lich, telling him that if he's so sure that he's better than a lich he'd be able to beat her in a duel. The vampire frantically pleads for his life, and the pair proceed to loot the crap out of his throne room while the protaganist has tea with the vampire, who is so traumatized by the experience he decides to retire from being a villain to live a peaceful life out in the wilds instead.
There's also a short story where something similar happens, but in that case a goddess ends upbullyingtricking both the lich and vampire by having them compete to see who the real king of the undead is. After a bunch of insults, the goddess gets them both to attempt to drain her life, where her holy nature ends up purifying both of them. The vampire is destroyed entirely, and the lich ends up needing several weeks to recover from the experience.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Apparently there were some pony shorts recently released as a special about Starlight putting together a memory book?
Just curious if anyone watched those. I read a synopsis that they are like clip shows.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I think Hayla and Malexekor might have gotten a little carried away here...
Spoiler
But, I mean, the Lost just kept spawning, and they kept running to exactly the same place, so after a bit, Mox just sat down and had a cuppa, while Hayla and Malexekor alternately Reapered and Face-off'd every other swarm.
That's broke the Bleakbane record...
Interesting that having a mod for eight squad members is sort of a bit self-balancing, since tiredness was definitely more of an issue this time around.
Still been doin' the propaganda posters, finding I wish there would be three lines, for better snappy banter (and the community pose pack is GREAT, even if a few of the poses are not very useful).
Pulled it back from the breach, though there was a horrifying moment when the Avatar project hit 12 as I was desperately trying to contact to a region to attack the facility there; but then tghe covert ops Id been runnig fired and knocked it down two levels. All too close.
Just got the Hunter to knobble (I am Killing Him Larst again, he's really not much of a problem...!)
Found myself playing MORE dress-up this time as it FINALLY twigged that each set of non-squad armour (i.e., the ones you make) has a seperate customisable state. Didn't twig this to start with, as something in the mods I'm using doesn't default to put,say, the RAGE Armour skin on when you equip it, you have to customise it manually (which makes Bradford's speech about this new armour, when the folks are wearing exactly what they had before seem a bit odd...) And then it sticks. Which is actually cooler than I thought it was. Experimented with some of the helmets, but as usual, I don't get on with them, because even with glass faceplates, they obscure the facial expressions. So, for the heavy armours, settled on one of the mod's kevlar helmets with not face-plate, which looks okay.
Also realised why it didn't seem to hold the weapon colours sometimes, because if you just REMOVE a weapon, it gives you a default gunmetal one, but if you REPLACE it, it puts your customisation colours on instead.
And this? Is why I've not been bothered about X-Com Chimera. (After the rage-inducing arse about yesterday because Firaxis broke the mods in the launcher (I eventually found a work-around) - SOLELY so they could advertise their other games in the launcher OF COURSE, I'm DEFINTEY not going to rush at all, it's not even going on my wishlist now.) Customising and arsing about with the characters is a very solid chunk (maybe even more than half) of the fun. And I'm honestly far less bothered about the official lore and story than I am in telling my own, even if it's to myself. So they can call me when they do X-Com 3 proper-like.Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2020-05-25 at 07:03 PM.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Mwahaha. 10/10, I approve.
Oh, you remind me; I have been wanting to run a cyberpunk-genre pony game in recent weeks. I love the Shadowrun setting, but I dislike their rules system, so I came up with the idea to hack Starfinder in order to create my Shadowrtot setting. Since Starfinder has a decent SRD online, people without the books can still put together characters. I still need to add the chapter on Megas and then my GM notes on re-fluffing a few Starfinder things to fit the campaign theme.
(The banter in between chapters is my most proud part of that document)
And if someone wants to run ponies in space, this doc works too. Just crib the races for your own needs. :3

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
March last year, on Estee's blog about the release of Vampire the masquerade bloodlines, in response to "but how could you do proper liches in WoD?:"
SpoilerOriginally Posted by Me
Two weeks ago:
*spends two work days preparing a blog article on conversion of Aotrs ships from scratch built to CAD model for Partizan in the Cloud Facebook event for when Partizan shoiuld have run*
*submitted early and efficiently for the Sunday on Wednesday*
*gets forgotten on day and only gets released a day late, gets 32 reads and 1 like - from Dad, who is in same house*
Yesterday:
*completes 3.Aotrs v2.0 (bar some shouting) and sends around to mates (which comprise all meat-space friends bar the two who are neither roleplayers nor on internet) after nine months of work and 1000+ pages*
*dead silence for 22 hours and counting*
Next couple of weeks:
*completes preparations for full release of Aotrs starship fleet and 6mm fighter force, project over 25 years old and arguably thing he's most proud of ever*
*given current near-total absence of reaction anything Aotrs Shipyards releases that is not moderns...*

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Don't worry, Bleekbane. I acknowledge your existence, remember the stuff you've done, and yada yada.
I don't agree with you on certain topics, like say whether or not it's fair to criticize an author for following literary conventions, narrative tropes, and in-universe logic into a direction that makes perfect sense but that some people don't like, but I acknowledge you.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Hello Ponythread! Long time lurker here; figured I should register given how often I read these threads (this one especially).
I owe you folks a lot: from signal boosting a wide range of fan content, to indirectly introducing me to Hamilton (via pony PMVs), it's always a pleasure to see new posts here (and reading the old threads is fun).
Actually, DigoDragon is partially to thank for getting me into Pony in the first place: I loved reading through the campaign log for Celestia's Finest, and wanted to learn more about the inspiration for it
(Incidentally, I may or may not have laughed quite suddenly and with great volume at the "Neighpon" pun in the Shadowtrot document... it's a good thing I live with people who are used to that sort of thing )
On the subject of gaming, if anypony wants to give a newcomer a shot in a PbP pony game, please send me a PM!

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
When aren't you being autobiographical? Also you have no idea how tempted I was to not respond, but I thought that would just be mean.
On a different note, I'm doing my own X-Com 2 game and my casualty rate is horrendous. I'm averaging one dead solider a mission. Though I'm very proud of my Blacksite suicide run. Send in a single Reaper who sets the bomb. Drop Evac zone on the rest of the squad. Reaper gets horribly murdered, but mission success without a shot fired. Now I just need to figure out how to get the Reaper out alive.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
If ponythread precedent (from an admittedly mostly observational perspective) is anything to go by, I doubt you’ll need to worry about vanishing any time soon (relative as “soon” may be for an immortal). Having hard work ignored still stinks though...
That is a fascinating idea of how to handle the more bombastic sorts of magic in WOD games on the other hand!

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
So, this apparently got posted a little while back, but Acracebest and the Bronies React crew finally uploaded their reactions to the final episode of G4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAyKjXaLjFI
It's long, but that's because about half of the video is a retrospective "what has Pony meant to you" from various members of the fandom.
Spoiler: Favourite momentHas to go to M.A. Larson's cameo - and his long list of restraining orders against fandom members ... and Canada.
Welcome aboard! (Or at least, welcome out of the lurker's bushes!) ;D
Hope to see you around a bit.
Oh don't worry Lichmaster - I definitely remember you!
At least, everything except … something - something to do with hugs? Hmm...
… It must be that you really like them!

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I finished binge reading the Timey Wimey comic and I loved every panel of it. The artwork is good and it really feels like it captures the spirit of MLP. It has also drawn my attention to a bunch of other excellent MLP fancomics on deviantart, so my thanks to BlasTech for posting a link to it. It was great!

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Thanks! I hope to be present often
I don't have many brony content sources other than this thread though, so I likely won't have much to share for the time being.
Where do all of you get updates on the Pony community? I know of Equestria Daily but not much else (I have known of Pony for a while, but only really got into it this year).

Also, I think the abrupt table-flip of 90% of (not-this-Earth) human space forming into a superstate to the complete surprise of literally everyone everwhere means HE has enought trouble on HIS plate at the moment.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I've found a bunch of MLP fan content via the MLP tvtropes page and a lot of the fan materials on youtube and deviantart tend to be linked to yet more fanmade content. Once you've got an entry point you can often just follow the branches from there. Of course there's fimfiction too for fanfiction. Most of it isn't the newest, so it might not technically count as an update. For something like me who has also decided fairly recently to delve more deeply into the MLP fandom that doesn't really matter because most of it is new to me, even if it isn't to others.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Thanks! I remember: you helped put together quite the compelling story.
I mean, you made Chryssi in all her horrific glory somewhat relatable somehow (the side chats between the PCs in her cell helped; she obviously has... trust issues to put it mildly).
And I’m not saying it’s alicorns, but (insert ancient aliens meme here)
Ok, this is all good advice: thanks! I have glanced over the TvTropes fan works entries a bit (struck gold with the Equestrian Civil Service series, which is excellent for any brony with a fondness for Terry Pratchett’s work in my opinion).
YouTube has also been helpful, but I haven’t checked deviantart much: I’ll take a look

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Recommendations are certainly welcome!
Stories with a comedic bent would be most appreciated, but I’m happy to take a look at more dramatic or tragic pieces (the three aren’t mutually exclusive after all ).
