Alessio Cavatore is now writing a My Little Pony RPG, and has

>>26858100
>Alessio Cavatore
Literally who?

>>26858101
you fucking know who he is.

>>26858102
I genuinely, non-sarcastically, have no idea who this person is or why anybody cares about him. Please, enlighten me. I don't know him from Adam, so why is he important.

>>26858103

He was an oldschool Games Workshop guy. I mostly remember the name from Mordheim.

>>26858100
Meh.
He seems to mostly be avoiding the pitfall of horsefaggotry. He's just a dad who enjoys a silly tv show with his daughter and wants to do something for her.
If I knew him personally, I would rib the shit out of him over it, but it's not like he's one of those creepy bastards on the board that shall not be named or anything.

>>26858100
Who gives a shit?

>>26858104
>He was an oldschool Games Workshop guy.
Okay. Neat. So fucking what? He admits he likes the show and wants to work on the RPG both basically solely because his daughter likes it and that makes her think he's a cool dad. The whole "OMG Brony" thing is years out of date, no one gives a shit anymore.

>>26858105

We have our own creepy bastards here anyway.

>>26858103
He did a lot of GW's best work, co-writing 40k (before it went to shit in 5e when GeeDubs fired all their cool people), as well as Warmaster, Mordheim and LotR. He also wrote Mantic's Kings of War, as well as Bolt Action and Deus Vult if you're a /his/fag.
He has a reputation for elegant and well-balanced rules.

I mean, it's a fun cartoon to watch with your daughter. It only gets creepy when you're an old man watching the show by himself, breaking out pony fleshlights.

Is he doing it as a hobby or is he being paid to write it

I mean, a paycheck's a paycheck

If I had any artistic skills I'd do pony commissions all day long. Rake in some serious money

>>26858100
There's a huge difference between "I love the tv show... that probably makes me a brony" and /mlp/ or tumblr.

>>26858107
>The whole "OMG Brony" thing is years out of date, no one gives a shit anymore.

I wouldn't say that. They're still really fucking creepy and cringe-inducing, just like the furry crowd they overlap. They've learned their place a little better, but they're still a really sad group of freaks.

>>26858111
>If I had any artistic skills I'd do pony commissions all day long. Rake in some serious money
Can you write fiction? Even shitty fiction? Can you learn? Do you have zero self respect? Can your mind survive contact with weird and creepy fetishes? Then you, too, have a future writing terrible fanfiction porn to commission. You'll rake in tons of money, you'll just have trouble looking at yourself in the mirror when you pay your rent with that 30,000 word epic Street Fighter fanfiction about M Bison cutting off Chun Li's limbs and using her as a literal fuck toy.

>>26858113
They're only creepy if you make them creepy.

90% of the time people blow this shit way out of proportion. very rarely do I see any cringelords leave their own sites or containment boards, it's only when others bring it up to complain about them that anyone even remembers they exist.

>>26858107

Hold the phone, you can make MONEY writing bad fiction on the Internet? I mean, I do that for free sometimes, for fun. Maybe not 30k words about Street Fighter snuff, but still.

How much money exactly is "tons," and how exactly does this actually work? I'm serious, I don't think I believe you.

>>26858114
You, sir, just gave me an erection and something to go questing for on the Internet. Thank you kindly.

>>26858119

I know some who take furry commissions to pay the rent, though they do the more tame side of furry stuff.

Honestly, I can't blame them, or even think a single bad thing about them. It's hard enough making a living as an illustrator, so you might as well go for the low-hanging fruit with deep pockets.

Thing is, you'll never see that stuff in their online profiles, personas, and galleries. They know how to compartmentalize and advertise to one crowd while doing another for the majority public.

>>26858120

If you're going to do that, you're going to have to get in deep first.

>>26858120
>How much money exactly is "tons,"
The going rate I've heard is maybe between $5-20 per few thousand words, depending on prestige or workload, and/or shitting out tons of 5-buck mini-porn novels on Smashwords or whatever.
>and how exactly does this actually work?
Go on a site with a lot of pathetic nerds with weird fetishes, show off your existing writings, offer commissions, pick up steam over time.

>>26858122
This coming from an insider, the pockets aren't as deep as you think, nor are the fruit as low-hanging as they look. Your friend is the exception, not the rule.
If you want to do commission work, your drawing/writing should be fairly competent stuff and you should be able to step up your own game now and then.

>>26858125

These people I know have done work for Boom Studios and Disney. They know how to step up their game.

>>26858115
It's not like /tg/ isn't full of turbo neckbeards anyway. Just look at literally any MTG convention.

>>26858126
Again, the exception, not the rule. I'm not taking a jab at your friends, I'm trying to warn the potential entrepreneurs here not to get over-excited about making anything close to a livable wage on freelance writing and drawing unless they have serious talent.
Your friends sound pretty set though, so more power to 'em

>>26858120
>>26858124
I think there's a site where you post your fiction and you get a little money whenever someone buys a digital copy. Kinda like those tshirt printing websites where you create a design and get some coin whenever someone buys the shirt.

>>26858100
I bet that cunt sticks True Line Of Sight into it somehow.

He can't fucking stop putting it in games, especially games where it's utterly inappropriate.

>>26858100
>Alessio Cavatore
Who?

>>26858129
Yeah, that's Smashwords. Good if you have weird fetishes or like to write tons and tons of mini stories.

>>26858130
Pretty sure TLoS was Matt Ward. It certainly wasn't a presence in his rules before 5th edition 40k.

>>26858131
Did you even read the thread?

Yeah watched the video when the news broke last week. It sounds like a cute, simple RPG for adults to play with their kids. /tg/ wouldn't like it because it's rules lite and relies mostly on imagination - for instance you pick your own talent and basically extrapolate crazy abilities from it. Ex. Alessios character was a pony that could make really sweet fireworks, or in the terms he put it, was a fucking pyromancer.

>>26858100
>b-but
>muh Warmaster
>muh Mordheim
fffff

>>26858100
honestly I'm surprised something like this hasn't happened already

>>26858134
Yeah, /tg/ probably wouldn't like it. Most of us have forgotten how to game for fun.
That actually sounds like it could be a nice beer&pretzels rpg for when your main game is getting too heavy and you need a break.
I kinda wanna see his charsheet now

>>26858134
>/tg/ wouldn't like it because it's rules lite and relies mostly on imagination
Well that and it's ponyshit.

>>26858129
I can attest to how little you make. A friend of mine designed a shirt for some major nerd website and was getting maybe $1 a shirt sold when the shirt was $20

>>26858138
/tg/ is like 12% horsefucker anyway. Don't believe me, look at the sleeves at your LGS or local community college student lounge or cafeteria.

>>26858133
Nah it's definitely Alessio. He's stuck it in pretty every game he's worked on since 40k.
Which is not a small amount of games either so the mechanic has become prolific pretty much just by his insistence.

>>26858139
Shit website. With most you decide the price of the shirt and then the printer takes their flat fee out of that. Threadless' fee is $15, so if you charge $25 you get $10 from each sale.

>>26858138
People who still care about that are sadder than the bronies at this point.

So you're saying that if you don't like ponyshit you're more pathetic than a ponyfag? Am I reading that right?

>>26858144
If ponyshit still makes you mad almost six years later then yes, your life is pathetically empty.

>>26858144
No, he's saying that you're a petulant little bitch and deserved to be looked down upon more than the horsefuckers.

He's specifically singling you out for whining about what is practically a non-issue, 6 years after the fact, and then also making a generalized statement about people like you.

I hope you have uncomfortable conversations with a furry the next time you visit your LGS.

>>26858144
"Not liking something" is obviously not the same thing as "not liking something and throwing a tantrum every time you're reminded it exists"

>>26858142
admittedly it was a design a shirt contest so they set the rules. Don't remember much for specifics past that. I probably have the amount wrong, but I do remember it being 10% of retail or less.
>>26858143
Shit is still potentially dangerous. Based on what some anons have done on research in this thread, this dude is simply doing it to be a wonderful father. That being said, most bronies have dropped the fandom leaving only the strangest of the bastards left. Watched the show and was a bit of a brony my freshmen college year at the start of season 2, most people started to drop out around the end of that or 3 because shit went from tolerable depending on which site you were on to what the fuckery and tons of hipsters everywhere at that point

Pretty much this, I ended up getting sucked into that black hole of a fandom when it was still new but dropped out myself midway through the second season, finally cutting all ties by the time the third season came out.

By that time, for some reason a mass-exodus of the "more normal and moderate" fans was occurring, leaving only the extreme autists

It's still dumb to bitch about it 6 years later though, especially since you almost never see them shitting up non-brony places anymore.

>Pic related to those whiners

>>26858144
It's the difference between thinking "BBEG" sounds silly, and going on a buttflustered rant about how retarded it sounds, and by extension how retarded the poster is, every time you see that, sequence of four characters.

You can dislike a thing without being a huge autist about it, just like you can like a thing without being a huge autist. It's the "being a huge autist" part that made bronies and furfags so annoying in the first place, and reversed faggotry is not wit.

>>26858151
Just saw a squad of furries in a park last week, some with pony gear. Say what you want, but I have cousins that are girls, 8, and more like very little sisters to me so I'm more programmed to being overly cautious about stuff like this

>>26858164

Only thing is, there's already a few Pony RPGs.

Ponyfinder, which has gotten mixed reviews

Don't Rest Your Hooves, which everyone here should understand

Poor, Unfortunate Foals, which is meant to be even more depressing

FEMTO, which is a simple system you can use on forums if you're tired of freeform

I'm sure there are two already based around Fallout:Equestria

>>26858167
This is an official Hasbro, or at least licensed, product.

>>26858100
There's already one, it's a hack of savage worlds that has a system for nonlethal combat and a host of pretty nice utility spells. Even if you don't care for the series it's still a decent sourcebook.

You can tell who the bronies are in this thread.

Back to your containment board, faggots.

>>26858170
Paranoia is treatable, anon, but the first step is admitting you need help.

Thank god that it's happening now and not when horsefuckers were at their prime.

I completely forgot about it and don't care in the least. I thought I was a horsefucker, but I guess after 6 years I just don't care anymore.

A dad-rpg to play with kids sounds neat though. We need more kids-rpgs.

>>26858153

>>26858176

>>26858100

I'll play it if the lore is deep.

This shit isn't going to fucking work though unless you make a system that entirely eschews combat. The thematic dissonance would be too high otherwise.

In the My Little Pony show, death is implied as possible (there are monsters that have threatened to eat ponies) but of course physical conflict is always ends nonlethally. There's nothing wrong with this, I'm not about to get on the case of a cartoon for little girls. But how are you going to implement this tonal limitation into an RPG, where players can do anything they think up?

>>26858179

>This shit isn't going to fucking work though unless you make a system that entirely eschews combat. The thematic dissonance would be too high otherwise.

Not every system has combat end in Death.

Legends of the Wulin for example is designed for high flying Wuxia combat but Death is a very rare occurrence as the system promotes non-killing ways of taking people out (Forcing them to retreat/stand down/run away crying because you are that good at being a bitch)

Wanting to fuck elves, that is okay.
Wanting to fuck tall blue cat aliens, that is okay.
Wanting to fuck any other sentient bipedal species, that's okay.
Wanting to fuck a quadrupedal being that looks like a horse, but clearly possesses sentience has big bright eyes and can portray a wide variety of emotions, now that is fucked up.

Of course, obsessing over it, building a shrine for your waifu in your basement and sticking your dick in a plushie is strange.
But goddammit /tg/ where is your pioneer spirit? To go where no human has gone before? What would Cap. Kirk think of you?

>>26858179
>where players can do anything they think up
I'm stumped by people still making this assumption.
In a Tabletop Roleplaying Game, players can do anything they can think up (and here's the important part) within the confines of the system, the setting and the social contract between the participants.

If you're going to play a MLP game, it is generally understood that you're not going to kill anyone. The rules will probably spell out as much, too.
If killing is allowed/encouraged, then the players are expected to talk it through beforehand. Other than that, it's the GM's responsibility to put down the foot and tell the offender to cut it out.

>>26858191
Well, the bar is pretty damn low there.
D&D as a whole is still about a decade behind on the curve, thanks to legacy rules, marketing and the sheer inertia of the company and its customers.

>>26858195
It's never been about ponyfucking with bronies, the same way it's never been about animalfucking with furries.

We just find them insufferable.

>>26858195
What was the rule?
"If it is sapient, of age and unmistakably expresses its consent, preferably in the form of speech..." Something like that anyway.

>>26858198

Also, that doesn't really have anything to do with bronies themselves, right?
It's just that you don't like insufferable cunts who keep yelling into your ears about their favorite shit all the time. I like the show, but I mostly keep it to myself, though I sometimes bring it up around my friends when we chatter.
It's the same as anything, a small minority of annoying cunts who are the loudest and give a fandom a bad name.

>>26858202
I envy you. I refuse to watch that show because I am sure that once I do, I'll become as bad as the worst /mlp/ poster stereotype.

>>26858202
>>26858203
I've watched it. It wasn't like, incredibly cringeworthy or anything, nor was it some undiscovered cult classic. It's just a boring kids show and nothing extraordinary beyond that.

It's not the reasonableness of players I doubt.

You see, in cartoons the presence of an obviously lethal force doesn't risk tonal dissonance because the good guys always win. But players have the potential to fail. What do you do, as a GM, when a pony confronts a hungry manticore and loses? Never include such a level of danger in the first place?

As far as I know, it's always been possible. Mods just don't do it often.

>>26858401
It's a licensed product.

>>26858401
You're right, but first they've got more IP infringements to police.

Did you know IDW is doing a bunch of comics based on MLP?
Little Brown and Company do books!
And then there's Gameloft who've made mobile games based on ponies.

And let's not even go into the trading cards. It's amazing how Hasbro IP Enforcement have let this slide for so long.

If he still got his writing chops from the 90s this could be pretty sweet.
I hope he gets some freedom for creating fluff.

>>26858934

I sort of hope he doesn't. The setting is so amazing as it is, I'm scared he'll fuck it up like they fucked up the setting in the official comics.

Who cares, even if it is Hasbro licensed and well made, any campaigns and stories the game introduces will be discarded as non canon because it didn't appear on the fairly spongesimpsons: friendship is magic

Either you didn't understand or I write english like a nigerian prince. Or both

I think it will be a good game, even if I (probably) can't introduce my group to it, I'm sure some people will organize games here
This kind of games are the best way to make interesting stories, if it's a mlp game it will have pony relates settings and campaigns included. But like the books, comics and anything that isn't the show, people will just ignore it even if it is better than the show, which isn't too hard

>>26859009
The thing is, at its core the spirit of the setting is High Fantasy. Few of the writer's working for the show have experience writing and maintaining a complex cannon, and the setting has reflected that as we got more and more episodes.

I have always held that one of the best attributes to look for in writers of the show and comic is that they are lorefags. It shows that they have a respect and understanding that the setting they're writing in is an actual world that follows rules. Additions that have the potential to change those rules must be carefully vetted, otherwise you end up with continuity breaks. AKA Ponyville has a hydroelectric arch-gravity dam thanks to the careless writing of MW. We've never even seen the ponies use concrete before that. cutting the autism now before I spill into 3 posts

Everything that Cavorte has done in the past indicates that he fills this criteria.

>>26859062

If it's a good game, people will play it, hence they definitely care.
Quite a lot of people don't ignore the comics either, each issue sells around 15-20000 copies. I hear the books are fairly popular among children as well, but those of course have nowhere near the universal appeal of the show itself.

Back in the day, the books he was writing for WHFB were pretty darn good, both in terms of rules and fluff, which included expanding on an already established setting.

>>26858237
I... honestly, I watched most of these, but I don't remember them just based on what you're telling me.

Last episode I remember was the one about Big Mac crossdressing first time, Brotherhooves Social. I just started watching it and realized that I knew EXACTLY how it was all going to play out, and I just didn't want to finish the episode.

Is that the one you summarized as "Yeah, let's skip this one" or "Big Mac's continued adventurers in crossdressing"?

>>26859089
>people still complaining about MWW
I haven't been to this board in ages, but I guess some things will never change.

>>26858418
It's entirely possible that Hasbro's starting to adopt the same stance as HBO with Game of Thrones. HBO doesn't care about people pirating the series, because it gets people talking about it and that turns into new customers and more publicity by the end of the day anyway. It's free publicity and advertising.
Same would apply to Hasbro. As long as it keeps their toys and cable subscriptions selling, they might not care as long as said product doesn't make them look too bad.

Also because bad dragon isn't copyright infringement. Colors aren't copyrighted (and a lot of them are off-tone, like Rarity) and they use generic terms not applicable to MLP:FiM as opposed to copyrighted characters.

>>26859397
>not knowing the episode synopses by heart
That was Big Mac's continued adventures in crossdressing, one of the worse episodes that season IMO.

In the Luna is a Masochist episode (No seriously, she created a new Nightmare Moon after her return in S1, this one named Tantibus, and it's been feeding off of her guilt instead of jealousy and "punishing" her every night) Big Mac has a Magical Girl transformation in the dreamworld.

>>26859847
Well, I did say that I dropped the show, didn't I?
Ok, no yeah, I saw that second one. And yeah, that one didn't look very good, which is why I never finished it.

What, uh, what exactly is "Fluttershy is a weaboo" about?
And "Applejack's ex"? I can only imagine the buttfrustration if it turns out she actually had an ex. Or was it just Trenderhoof coming back?

Fluttershy one is another Nightmare Night episode, she just happen to have paper cutouts of ponies in anime style onscreen for a second or two. Like most of the synopses the anon describes the episode by some tiny insignificant detail.

Applejack's ex is a female acquaintance of hers from NOT-girl-scouts, now she's a famous singer and Applejack can't believe how much she's changed. Pic related.

I deliberately try to write summaries which are not quite helpful.

Applejack's ex being Rara, her childhood fillyfriend, who's now a big popstar. As seen here to the right.

As for Fluttershy being a weeaboo... she made cardboard standees of Rei, Bulma, Utena, Ranma, and Sailor Moon.

>>26858896
That was the first one.

Whoa there, Anon, you wouldn't happen to be implying that Applejack and Rarity were ever anything more than BEST FRIENDS, would you?

I don't think anybody can be surprised by that

Rara, not Rarara.

Completely different ponies. One was her fillyfriend, the other one she slept with.

Also, here's the anime.

>>26860124
>One was her fillyfriend, the other one she slept with.

Also, I'm confused.

Fuck it. I'm going to watch the one after Big Mac's continued adventures etc. and see if that one isn't good enough to continue. Why the hell not?

>>26860124
If they ponies only knew just how spooky that Rei pony actually was and what it said about their friend...

booo

also I'm pretty sure I've seen a fangame named Tales of Equestria before

In other news, this will be dead faster than the MLP CCG. They could come up with the best game ever, pony fans are too autism to leave the house to play it with others and everyone who's not a die hard pony fan won't even bother looking at it.

I spent a lot of money on the MLP CCG fuck all of your for letting it die

All I said is she was Applejack's ex. Ex-Friend of course! Not ex-wife, or ex-girlfriend. You're all perverts if you think otherwise.

>>26860124
At least she has the decency to like the classics and not the shit they're putting out now.

I was confused as fuck reading the first half of this thread, wondering why everyone was referring to /mlp/ in the third person. I had no idea the mods could move threads to any other board besides /trash/. What an entertainingly disjointed feeling.

It's true that despite its origins /tg/ is no longer just "the W40k board." People go there now to discuss loads of different games, TRPGs and card/board games, not just wargames, and that's a good thing.

Woah, we had a brief window into /tg/ today.
