Friendship is Card Games: Moonstuck, Pt. 9 · 1:08pm February 25th
This might be milking the series a bit much, but how else do you get moon cheese?

If ever there were a time to look at Kkat’s signature work, it would have been several weeks ago, when the Fallout decks came out, or possibly several years before that. Since this is the first hole in my schedule after those decks’ release, we’re looking at it now.
From the same animator/speech synthesist who brought us The Tax Breaks (Twilight), we have an adaptation of 8686’s Free Hugs! Let’s look at the economic ramifications.
This week, we’re branching out a little, to a library under a tree and the story that the RCL very scientifically determined was the best story on the site. Spoilers ahead for TEL and the early bits of TEK.
As promised, this week I present a collection of cards based on the entries to the second Imposing Sovereigns contest. As with last time, the name of each card links to the story that inspired it. See here for an easier to scan breakdown. Now, let’s get right to the cards.
Ah, the abridged series, LittleKuriboh’s gift to fandoms everywhere. And when it comes to ponies, the first name that comes to mind is Sherclop Pones’s Friendship is Witchcraft. Or the Mentally Advanced Series. Or…
Look, we’re covering the birthplace of Sweetie Bot.
It’s time for more from Trailblazer, and this time the story’s really getting into high gear.
This one’s a bit unusual. It comes as a request from SirNotAppearingInThisFic (and yes, I do plan on doing the official chapter books, including one next week.) I didn’t really know what I was getting into when he suggested, but having taken a look, this does work.
Look, Estee noted that I design Magic cards in a recent blog. Then I mentioned in a comment on that blog that I had a few designs based on the Continuum. One thing lead to another, and here we are.
This week, we go from one end of the Equestrian timeline to the other as we return to Moonstuck..
I’m playing a little fast and loose with the schedule this week, but as of writing this, I have a contest deadline to race, RL friends to meet, and a performance of Khan! the Musical to see with my mom as a belated Mother’s Day gift, so reviewing a pony novel isn’t feasible.
Goodness, it’s been almost two years since I last checked in on Trailblazer’s adventures. IDW putting out comics almost as quickly as I could review them will do that, especially given all of the G5 video media coming out concurrently.
About a month ago, I told you all about AlexTFish's ongoing attempts to turn my various card blogs into a functional set. Well, now you can playtest with him! Details are in his blog here. I, for one, look forward to seeing just how my creations play.
This week, we’re winding back the clock a bit in terms of source episodes. There were hints of this Twilight’s delusions last week, but now we’ll get a better sense of the depth of the rabbit hole… but not a complete one. That will come in time.
We continue our look at the twisted universe next door, this time checking on some of the younger Ponyvillians.
With the second layer of backlog and my most recent contest resolved, we return to the previous threefold rotation of fan animation, webcomics, and official novels. Specifically resuming the interrupted exploration of Minty Root’s work.
Always a bit awkward to dust off an old save file and try to remember what you were doing at the time. Fortunately, Moonstuck is very forgiving for returning players. The game all but plays itself.
Between the Tell Your Tale schedule shift and the last issue of Little Fillies not coming out until next month, we’ve abruptly come to the end of the G5 backog. This was originally meant to go in a bridge week for the next Tell Your Tale blog, but sometimes reality doesn’t cooperate with my schedule. In any case, I like to commemorate every contest I run by making cards for each entrant, and now’s as good a time as any for my most recent one.
Now that I’ve returned from and thoroughly described Everfree Northwest, it’s time to make up for lost time. After all, keeping Luna waiting on the moon rarely ends well.
