Rogue Trader session failed due to partial attendance. In it's place, I managed to get in a session of My Little Pony: Wannabe Heroes. Used the Heroquest system, ran character gen and a quick off-the-cuff adventure.
The characters:
The guy from Monkey Island as an Earth Pony (Notable abilities: Inventory, Duck and Cover, Insult Fighting)
A pegasus pony specialised in making winter who aspires to be a Royal Guard (Notable Abilities: Reflective Golden Armour)
A unicorn named Spotlight who's basically The Great and Powerful Trixie as a showboating colt (Notable Abilities: "Stand Back, I'm Going To Try Magic" and "I meant to do that").
They arrive in the town of Bridle Shores, which is being held hostage by Thistle who is playing the role of utterly ineffective supervillain. She does, however, have a DOOM LASER aimed at the town. The party storms her doom fortress, overcoming a terrible robot and a pit trap before confronting Thistle and beating her by hitting her in the self esteem. She tries to fire the mind control laser, the pegasus uses his armour to reflect the beam back onto her, and the party instructs her to turn herself in.
Phase two is they move on to Fillydelphia where the Wonderbolts are putting on a performance. Using... that guy who plays Grills in the RP...'s suggestion, I roll a D6. 1. Which means Trollestia's in town. The ladies' colt fails his contacts roll to get tickets to the show, which means he gets the tickets - to Trollestia's private box. Now, Trollestia don't take too kindly to this, so she organises a half-time event where she volunteers Spotlight to go and perform some flying tricks. He's also informed that magic is cheating. Upon using magic anyway, he attempts to one-up Trollestia by claiming he can do a lap of the course with the entire Wonderbolts team trying to stop him.
That doesn't end so well for him.
It was a blast
An extended hilarity match between three wannabe heroes and their attempts to be big shots. There's no way I could do that justice in wordings.

"Escort?" Charger's brow furrowed. "I'm not sure who thought that this would be funny, but I assure you I'm not quite that desperate. No offence intended."
