The GM has canceled this campaign. However, I will be running a campaign of my own. You can find more info in this blog post.

My Saturday night D&D game had to be canceled, because the GM wasn't able to begin until late, and half the players needed to go to sleep early. So, instead, three of us played a game of Fiasco; our first time playing the game ever.
It's time again for Bronycon, and this year I'm glad to be a part of it. It's always fun to get together with my fellow fans and geeks of all flavors, and last year's Bronycon was one one of my favorites. I expect I'll be spending most of the con in the Stabletop Games room, as it most suits my interests; I'm afraid I've never been much for panels. As it so happens, I'll also be running a game this time 'round: Don't Rest Your Hooves. It's just about my favorite pony-based
Or yesterday, I guess, since it's nearly 3:30am.
Anyway, one of my friends wants to start up a campaign of Paranoia, and a couple days ago he had another friend and me create our characters for the campaign. One thing led to another, and the two characters became identical twins... with identical names. At some point, we came up with the idea of using a ME Card prop and passing it back and forth.
The Exalted Third Edition backer PDF landed today. Along with squeeing and... other things... I found this on page 65 of the PDF:
A REPORT ON THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE SCARLET EMPRESS

Join us on some Pony Tabletop RPG shenanigans why don't you?
So, I'm involved in an Ironclaw game with some friends and it's been a blast. My character is a fairly quiet timid soul so the GM proposed I go chat with one of our NPCs one on one so I could develop her a bit.
So this evening myself and the NPC sequester ourselves at a local tavern for a chat. It's kinda expected by both of us that we'll chat, I'll learn a bit about her backstory and flesh out my own, pretty low key.
And Naan is returning as the lead of Children's Programming - exciting news for the both of us.
I'll be running through my usual contact list to rehire people, but do let me know if you're interested in working in BABSCon's Tabletop Gaming next April, either as staff or with a tabletop gaming event. Volunteer and staff applications are open.
A Kickstarter to help fund the production run of Exalted Third Edition launched last Thursday. The Kickstarter ends on June 8. Donations can be anything upwards of $1 USD, and Onyx Path Publishing has already exceeded their goal by more than five times, with over 2,000 people backing the project. (They still have stretch goals, with the next goal to be reached in about ~$5,000.)
Because Ponygrad asked for it! And also because I'm lazy and putting off doing actual productive things.
See, over the last couple of months, I've been painting minis to pass the time. It's relaxing to sit down and do something with your hands, with a podcast or YouTube or some random netflix show in the background. (Sidenote, I'm almost out of Hannibal episodes, which means I'm gonna have to find something new for background noise).
I am now the head of Tabletop Gaming at BABSCon.
The old head was fired and his badge pulled for dereliction of duty, so if your volunteer application or event submission hasn't been processed yet, that's the reason why.
The day has finally come, my Exalted 3rd Edition Ultra-Deluxe edition book has arrived!
Such a nice, dark leather.
I've had the PDF for a while, of course, but it's nice to have the physical copy in my hands. Also, it's shiny.
Hello everyone; I've got two quick announcements.
First, and perhaps most importantly, the next pair of chapters for In an Effort to Stay Evil are off to the prereaders. If all goes well, that means they'll be published within the next few days. To everyone who's enjoyed the ride so far and been hoping for more, let me say thank you; for your interest, your patience, and for temporarily pushing it up to #4 on the site - which still amuses the heck out of me.
It's a minimalist RPG system. All you need is 3 6-sided dice. It's pretty slick for what it is, and you can buy it for whatever you want.
Note, if you buy a physical copy there is a minimum amount you have to pay because the Printer still gets their cut. It'll tell you how much. PDF can be $0 if you want though.
I'm not going to claim that things are in any way "normal," now, or even that the "old normal" is something we should be striving for.
And, y'know, I still don't know if I can write silly pony fic right now. But at least I have slightly LESS of a sense of existential dread right now-- not to mention the fact that it looks like protest action around the world is beginning to have SOME effect for the better (though we really need to keep going).
First off to the mystery person who bought me ad space, thank you.
Second, Hi Yall! I'm glad you enjoy my stories; I've got more coming up, one in the works and Chapter 18 to Dead Tree is being edited by Props as we speak; though I do wish his life would slow down and let him finish that up.
For those of you who are unaware, I am, in addition to someone who enjoys reading and reviewing pony fanfiction, a huge nerd.
Because, you know, writing reviews of fanfiction isn't nerdy at all.
The Crusaders managed to get some chocolate mousse to the Very Important Pony who missed dinner. There may have been some breaking and entering involved, but hey -- it was for a good cause, and the adorable little foals made a friend in the process.
The fact that their new friend turned out to be the youngest Equestrian Princess was a surprise to everypony.
Looking for help on this. Full details here.
Last session, my players met with an elder god and blew up a mountain. This was primarily caused by Gin Gear, who wanted to investigate the mountain in the first place, and started feeding pegasus-assisted wind power to said ur-god, giving it the jump-start it needed to do its thing.
