Have you... ever had an idea, that was sorta a bad one?

Like, you thought there were a lot of reasonably exciting things that could be done with it, and thought the characters could be explored in an interesting way... But it's starring mostly not-very-popular characters?

A weird fantasy story with Rarity that I'll probably never finish, so I’m publishing it in parts as a blog to reduce potential prodding about lack of updates. It's almost a freewrite. No notes. No outlines. Character profiles at most. Heavily inspired by Pathfinder (via Ponyfinder). If thou art curious, find it below.

Next installment of my messy Rarity fantasy thing. First part is here. Can you guys guess the puzzle? If you can't, it's probably my fault.

Random blog post: the Pony Dungeons & Dragons thing I do with my editors and one very other person has reached 20 subs! Which...is minor, but, you know, we think its nice. So minor yay, and if anyone wants to see a bunch of guys pretending to be ponies (In my case, pretending to be a perpetually drunk pony who likes to punch things) being crazy, the link is below. Our channel, Random Pony Games (RPG, geddit?) ain't flash, but we're planning on pimping it up soon.

It's been a while, hasn't it? Sorry for being 100% worthless for like a month, but I've got at least 3 minutes of diversion here. Yup, it's time again. Today I'll be vicariously living through the best pony ever: Pinkie Pie.

It's time for Numero Tres in this series, and boy howdy is it going to be a wacky one. With only four levels to work with, multiclassing is a risky, risky business--especially in D&D Fifth Edition. Luckily for us, David Silver and his Ponyfinder setting have a few very crafty tricks to make things... a little easier. And who is the pony we're going to be statting up this time around? Well, everyone, prepare to meet the instigator of

Real life happened... and is still happening.

oh well

So I was on the group about changelings and Chrysalis and I was struck with inspiration on how to set my world up. The things I want is ponyfinder changelings to be mlpfim changelings and a reason for the ponies to be where they are and in the reduced numbers I envision. I feel I have just what I need...

What did I have?

We bought the Pathfinder Ultimate Intrigue book on Sunday. Just leafed through it. I desperately wish to play a Cipher or Forensic Physician (Investigator archetypes), or a Snoop (Rogue archetype). Hmmm... Could I make that work in Ponyfinder?

So basically I want to do some variant of Sherlock Holmes and James Bond?

To any and all D&D and Pathfinder players and other fans of tabletop RPGs: Ponyfinder is currently up on Bundle of Holding!

It’s USD 12.95 for the corebook, bestiary and three adventures. And if you offer more than the level-up threshold (USD 20.55 at the time I posted this), you also get three supplements and another adventure.

I'm back, batches. (Let your cookies come. They will all fall before me.) And boy do I have a doozie for you today.

So recently I've been marathoning Star Trek: the Original Series. I've also been playing in a campaign of Ponyfinder (ponified Dungeons & Dragons) for almost two years now. I've been meaning to do a blog post on that, in fact, but I've never gotten around to it. Anyway, both those things came to a head last night in another extended and detailed dream sequence.

So, I'm still doing GrubHub delivery, which remains as exhausting and soul-crushing as usual (if not moreso sometimes, given the way their tech will now take jobs away while I'm stuck in traffic with no options!) It also does quite the number on writing time, though I think I'm getting the gears grinding a little more on that all now!

But I'm looking for other options. And I see that one of the things happening now is paid GMing. I'm hesitant to call it 'pro' at this point, but paid.
