Between the steampunks, the goths, and the gaming nerds, my gaydar was shut down. No point in detecting something non-mainstream because I was in the land of the unusual.

Or is this simply as Sauro says, so completely alien to our old guy mindsets that being a "brony" is actually a chick magnet?

We can try it at the 2012 NTRPGCon. Get Doug dressed up as Rarity, get other gamers costumed as their Pony counterparts . . .

If I can make it to 2012 I'm going to have to stop somewhere and get a shotgun.

Go ahead, make my day.... if you don't mind, please.

Given Hasbro's involvement, the master stroke is going to be that they come up with the BEST RPG SYSTEM EVARRRR for MLP:FIM and scrap D&D as a result.

How bad could such an RPG be? Make it a dry-run for 5E.

Someone has already run a Pony adventure using the Iron Claw system:

This topic really isn't going away, is it? Time to bring out the heavy ammo. Here's a link to a promotional page for the novel Machoponi: A Prance with Death.

http://www.myspace.com/machoponi

It's written by a colleague of mine in the publishing industry here in Austin, & will explain all your questions. About everything. If it doesn't, note that Mein Poni-Kampf, A Biography of the Leader of the Nazi Ponies, is also now available.

Ha, I've actually played that with my daughters... scaled down for 6-8 year olds... good times

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

I'm just waiting for Jason to pony up his next 02c.

Or perhaps he's having second thoughts about going to Canterlot; even with his shotgun. It is a silly place, after all...

Black Blade Publishing imprint of OSRIC is not only the most definitive printing of OSRIC to date, but also the single greatest resource for old school gamers since the three original hardbacks written by E. Gary Gygax.

Any thoughts please??

Setting up a web page on a free web hosting site is simple, but ads make such pages look unprofessional. Free web pages also have odd-looking URLs, inconsistent layouts, and simply look bad. That's all my opinion.

Using a blog seems to be a good substitute for a web page. Everyone writes and reads blogs, and blogs can look professional. Templates provide a consistent look, and organization and updating are easy.

Blogger (was Blogspot) and WordPress are two free blogging services.

ImageShack and Photobucket are two free picture hosting services.
