hey check it out i’m gonna be at Bronyscot in a couple of weeks! I know it’s kinda way too late for this to influence anyone’s weekend plans but HEY look for me there if you wanna hang out! I’ll be in the games room and doing an animation thing and probably doing something similar to what I did at Galacon where I just walk around blasting Eurobeat from a speaker.

See you there!

Hey there table friendos! It may interest you to learn, if you are heading to Bronyscot, that I’ll be bringing a couple of custom horse™ conversions of Popular Board Games® to inflict on the general public: Changelingfall (a FiM-themed version of social deduction farce Spyfall), and Crossfire: Fallout Equestria (who knew, it’s a Fallout Equestria-themed version of social deduction accusation machine Crossfire).

In addition to these games, I should be bringing everything I brought to Galacon plus more:

• Pandemic: The Cure & Experimental Meds Expansion
  
• Magic Maze & Maximum Security Expansion (new!)
  
• Splendor
• Crossfire (regular version as well as the FoE version)
• Skull
• Love Letter (regular version, though I know a pony version exists!)
  
• A Fake Artist Goes To New York (new!)
  
• Welcome to the Dungeon (new!)
  
• Buck: Legacy (new!) (maybe! It’s not my copy!)

We love RPGs, but we love them more for the RP than the G. The unique aspect of roleplaying games is the way the players collaborate to steer the story and create situations out of whole cloth, and the mechanics provide a framework - be it more or less rigid - to facilitate the creativity of the players. We don’t mean to dunk on people who love RPGs for the combat puzzles provided by the mechanics, that’s just not what we turn to RPGs for. As such, we don’t really care that much about the minutia of differences between systems. We’ll happily sit down with either.
