Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Well, yes, but more to the point is that TTG! was a) a massive departure from the beloved series and b) it was everywhere. There were weeks where it was literally over 60% of CN's non-prime time programming. And it's not like The Simpsons where there are hundreds of episodes so you don't have repeats; there were less than 100, so you saw the same few episodes ad infinitum. It didn't help that they were fond of taking pot shots of everyone they didn't like and based entire episodes on it, most notably with *The Return of Slade* which they hyped up immensely and existed solely to piss off fans of the original.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
For those that have not seen the winter Equestria Girls specials yet, they are starting to stream on Youtube.

Have they announced the voice actors for the new pony show? Because if they keep the same voice actors, I can see myself enjoying the show.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
FWIW, I hope they don't. Not to impugn the acting skills of the cast, but one of my problems with TTG! is that since they have the same voice actors, the very different iterations can be a massive tonal difference. TTG Cyborg being happy to be a computer while TT Cyborg was worried that his implants made him less human is my go to example.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
So, I've started re-watching season 9 and while watching Uprooted something occurred to me regarding the song. At the time, I felt the song was mostly a forgettable piece of fluff, but now that the series has ended I found that the message of the song, that something may be gone but it can persist in our hearts, to be a bit more resonant.
Overall, though, the song is unfortunately still a disjointed mess, but the message of the song is solid at least.If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.
When in doubt, set something on fire. If not in doubt, set something on fire anyway.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Almost entirely non-pony related, but I thought you might find it amusing...
I was stuck in a communication meeting today, and apparantly our employer is implementing some variant of the Agile Framework. This involves small teams with a number of young, inexperienced generalists, and one more experienced specialist.
The title of the specialist? the Unicorn.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
We had a potluck at work yesterday. They put out paper tablecloths and crayons for everyone to doodle on (the cloths had some printed tic-tac-toe boards and mazes). I think I was the only one to have drawn anything. I drew a unicorn and wrote beneath her, "Be a unicorn! Majestic! Rare! Sparkly! Capable of stabbing your enemies!
And then added hearts around it. XD
Sadly it got tossed before I could go back with my phone to take a picture. I'll have to redraw it sometime.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
So my brother bought me DnD player and DM set two days ago.
Even managed to do a (sadly two players, because my sister and my parents have no interest in playing but my dad observed) test session to familiarize it.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Something just occurred to me; Snips is short and money-obsessed and Snails is tall, dim, and fairly athletic. All they need is a third colt who's neurotic/intelligent, possibly named something like Puppy Dog Tails to complete the trio.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
*gets halfway through porting Pathfinder feat to 3.A, thjnking "huzzah, perilously close to being 'done,' for given value of 'done' that excludes spell lists*
*grudingly decides ought to maybe adopt CMB/CMD properly from PF, talks over with group they agree*
*starts doing that last night*
*finds gaping flaws in system vis a vis big creature's over-scaled CMD, spends good chunk of day working out how to fix it*
(In the end, CMD = Touch AC plus Str plus BAB, numbers remain same for mediums, buffs small creatures, nefs bigger creature to sane levels, urine-easy to do, meanign potential character sheet tweaks much less severe and easy to work out even with special box from existing Touch Ac and grapple check mods)
*can tomorrow carry on with feat import, and sort monster stat blocks a leisure*

Hey, I'm rewatching the show. Does Trixie ever come back?

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Bit of a late response, here, but:
SpoilerYes, putting all of Equestria at risk is a bit too far for reformed Discord. The thing is, he didn't think he actually was putting anything, much less all of Equestria, at risk. Losing his powers was Not Part Of The Plan, and he expected the worst case to be that he might have to save the day himself. As he put it when talking with Twilight, the idea was to give her challenges with "a Lord of Chaos safety net". If things go well, Twilight gets a boost to her confidence and reputation and maybe learns something too. If things go poorly, he snaps his fingers and fixes everything.
His surprise when the three of them ambushed him with the bell was absolutely genuine, and on seeing that events had thoroughly jumped the rails he immediately switched to doing everything he could to fix his mistake. He ran - actually ran, on his feet, since he no longer had magic - to Twilight so fast that he was actually hurting from the exertion by the time he got there, confessed the whole thing, and did his best to help.
Yes. She is a recurring character all the way through to the very end.Last edited by Douglas; 2019-11-27 at 01:49 AM.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I found this picture, and I find it hilarious.
Spoiler: Causes vs Solves problems
My favorite bit? The fact that the CMC go from one of the biggest sources of problems, to the undisputed solver of them. That, right there, is character development.
Other nice things is Trixie being the source of accidental problems, and Rainbow Dash edging Discord out for deliberately causing problems.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
And Nanny's in hospital again. After a long palava on Tuesday, because they couldn't get the GP out, she ended up going in so they would have the ability to get her seen by someone that would be able to give her something to deal with the suspected chest infection... Except that the consultant, after the did all the bloodwork and whatever, thinks it is not a chest infection and just caused by excess fluid because of her failing heart. So she was expected to be in for about three days while they attempted to get some fluid out. And when we went to see her today, she told us she'd done both of her ankles suddenly while walking for the phyiso. As we left, they were taking her down to x-ray to see what exactly might have gone on, but the doctor observed that her ankles didn't look swollen or anything, so it seemed unlikely to be a catstrophic break. (And, if anything, her legs looked less swollen than usual, because of the fluid they'd dumped out.) 'Course, the balancing act being more drugs to keep the fluid down verses kidney damage, though our general concensus (including Mum (ex-nurse) and both sisters who work at the hospital - Nanny was actually on the ward my younger sister is Sister of last night) is that quality of life > quantity, if it comes to that choice, and kidney failure is a better way to go than drowning in your own lungs, so we'll see.
So, we can add this to liteny of things 2019 is doing to try and ensure it can be another Bad Year, despite my early attempts to make it not be.
(See also, having to close down the Thursday night of the wargames club, not making more than about four Thursdays this year at said club not helping the situation, end of pony, Pokémon going further away...)
So, uh, yay.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Oof, that's always rough news to have. Hope she is doing well today.
I had an unusual dream last night; took place in some kind of conference room with people I didn't recognize (except Zecora who sat in the corner eating donuts). I think the people were writers discussing the scene in Season 1, Episode 2 where Applejack was holding on to Twilight over the cliff. Several writers were upset because what should of happened was that AJ assures Twi that she's going to be okay by holding on tight and gently kick off the edge with her back legs and then AJ hauls her up with her earthpony strength. And then opposing writers said not to worry, they can address earthpony magic abilities in a future episode.
And then I woke up laughing.

3.Aotrs overhaul now stands at
Classes 109 pages
Class Features 83 pages (i.e. rogue talents/blood lines combat styles etc)
Classes Epic 33 pages (some duplication of information from Classes)
(Combined up from 67 at 8-point times new roman)
Master Rules 81
Feats 124
(Combined up from 88 at 8-point times new roman)
Feats list 49 pages

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Nobody's complained yet. I only switched from times new roman (the most space-efficient font I have found), which I generally have always preferred, because one of my players hates it (just switching font pushed the spells up by a good +20% before I added anything). As and when it does become a problem, the font size will have to go up. But I'm not going to do it before then, it's going to take me long enough to print it all double-sided as it is - an idle check says it would shove the spells from 187 to 273 to go from 8-point to 10-point (12-point more than doubles it to 379), so you can perhaps see why I started using 8 rather than 10 for this stuff (which I use for pretty much all other purposes at that I started at) in the first place...

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Well, a little experimentation came up with Bahnschrift Condensed, Gill Sans Nova Condensed and Rockwell Nova Cond Light, but you probably don't want to use those, especially below 10 point.
On the plus side, I have found a way to make the next set of documentation to hurt the eyes as well as the brain.Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Oh, I have lots of SMALLER fonts than TNR. Actually, one of the little things I do is try to have a different from for every starfleet, so as you can imagine, with over 40, we've got rather a number than I've found to be of a suitable size and a fair few that looked interesting but turned out to be unsuitable.
But none of them are unilaterally better to the poiint of you wanting to replace all the text with them.
(Apparently the three you mentioned either come with Windows (or came with Windows at any point, since for the aformentioned reasons, Fonts are back-up data) or I'd already looked at them...)
Actually, while on the final stage of Accelerate & Attack, I did a lot of font searching (looking for something suitable for the title font, mostly), considered for five seconds making my own until I looked into it and realised how compliated it was and came to the conclusion that I really don't understand fonts.
Seriously, if no for this one player who loathes it for some reason, I'd never have switched.
Printed ponies?
I done that...
Spoiler
The Jalyrkieons count, stup up!
Yours is sandstone, I presume?
People keep saying "it won't be long before you'll be able to do colour printing on your home printer!" and I'm like "it really will, especially on FDM, plus even making a colour-mapped model is a different set of skills again..."
Edit: Did a “find/replace” to change the copied-from-Pathfinder "(Combat)" descriptor to the "[Combat]" (i.e., changed the brackets to square), which I hadn’t bothered to do until now – “Word has made 660 replacements.”
