I'm a sucker for next-gens, plus tragic stories of star-crossed lovers. I recently stumbled across some art that reminded me of an idea that scratched both itches, and I'm curious what you think.

I've always liked the idea that Sunburst and Sunset are related somehow. This headcanon fills in some gaps in EQG canon while playing off that idea. I'm not sure I believe it myself, but it's a fun idea.

Hey, odd question: any Deaf/HoH bronies on here? I'd like to consult about a story idea I have, in which Big Mac is Deaf. I like the idea, but I want to make sure I'm treating the disability respectfully, raising awareness rather than making fun, etc., etc., but the advice I got on Reddit was "Unless you're Deaf yourself, don't." I'd like to talk to someone about this idea, maybe even collab on it, to make sure it's the best it can be. If you'd like to talk, I would love to hear from you,

So, I've been reading through the rulebook for the new My Little Pony RPG (would anyone be interested in a review/writeup?), and one of the locations they mentioned is "Applewood"--pony-Hollywood, which, the book says, is where the Elements of Harmony are at their weakest. I've found myself brainstorming for what a story/adventure set there might look like, and how the ponies would contend with a part of Equestria where the Elements simply don't function.

Dear Reader, I come to you in an hour of (nerdy) need.

A crowdfunding campaign for a board game I dearly love is about to close, but I have not the funds to back it, and I have been unable to convince my wife that we need to mortgage our house to do so. And so, I have done the only thing I can: I have put up a number of my board games for sale to raise the necessary fundage.

Hi everyone! The Minecraft survey I posted recently is almost over! Please take a moment to fill it out if you haven't already. Also, I would greatly appreciate if you could let your friends know about it, to ensure it gets a little wider reach!

[Ourcraft Survey]

Thanks so much!!

Recently, in the downtime I don't actually have, I've been playing a lot of Cultist Simulator on mobile. I hesitate to say it's my "comfort game," but I've easily put more time into this game across multiple platforms than pretty much any other game I've played, with the possible exception of Minecraft. It's good, you should play it.

In all the free time I don't actually have, I've been tinkering with more ideas for "Adventures in Equestria" fan-made sets. I have so many good ideas, in fact, that I don't actually know what to work on next!

Here's the current candidates:

Nightmare (K)Nights
Theme: It's Nightmare Night in Ponyville again... but this time, the villains have come to the party, for some reason?

Good afternoon, everyone! I come to you in an hour of need:

I am currently working on my dissertation, which is focused on the community surrounding the video game Minecraft. I've recently released a survey to find out more about people who play the game, especially how people learn to play the game in the first place. If you happen to play Minecraft, it would be a big help to me if you could fill it out:

Though the last Adventures in Equestria set I released, "Hearts and Hooves," doesn't seem to have made much of a splash (0 comments and counting!), I am still rather proud of it--and my brain is giving me more and more ideas to work with now.
