  1. Speak the name of the demon, and yea he shall appear.
  2. Splendiferous news! The game is ready! Scroll up to the top of the page for links to the rulebook and peices. So, yeah, what do you guys think? We're going to try and submit to EQD here shortly. With any luck, they can help me put this out there. But I guess you guys get the first look.
  3. Hey, guys! Sorry it's been a bit. We got more playtesting done recently, and are in the phase of tweaking things for balance. Once I get past this next midterm I should be able to start putting together a nice-looking rulebook. In the meantime, have another sheet of cards. This one, in addition to some swag unicorns, displays the three special Alicorn cards. Alicorns override the normal conditions for success or failure on an episode, and a player holding an Alicorn in their hand has to use it. As a pony, you can send Celestia to your fellow ponies to save an Episode that's going down the tank. Or, as a Changeling, you could sneak Chrysalis into a Pony's hand and force them to do your dirty work for you. But be careful! If the other team guesses what you're up to, they can make you pay dearly for it.

  5. Hi, everypony! Got a treat for you this time. After more than a year of development, we're proud to announce: A My Little Pony Print-N-Play board game. Changeling is a hidden identity game which holds 5-12 players and finishes in less than an hour. In it, you either play an undercover Changeling attempting to sabotage episodes of My Little Pony, or a citizen of Ponyville using teamwork to overcome their nefarious plot. If you've ever played Resistance or Avalon, then you'll recognize some of the game mechanics. Changeling adds another layer by letting you call on the unique talents of dozens of different MLP characters. Rainbow Dash lets you take multiple actions; Rarity lets you give cards to other players; Doctor Whooves lets you travel back in time to a previous episode! This makes the game a bit more 'Brony-ish', in that it gives everyone something to do, even if they aren't invited on the 'misison'. It also makes the game a bit less harsh--if you're found out as a Changeling, there's still a lot you can do to wreak havoc. Like Shipfic, it's a great game to break out at meetups and conventions (or just parties). We do hope you'll give it a whirl, and we very much hope you enjoy it when you do. If you had fun, tell us! And then spread the word. Link to the PDF Version Link to the .docx Version
  6. @@Pripyat Pony, @@Hypn0ticD, "Cicada! Horsefeathers!" Twilight gasped as a bullet hit the Changeling right in the arm--she only winced heavily. Must have been biting her tongue against crying out. Never had Twilight felt so useless. She must have done good--hopefully--with that outburst, but after it her magic wouldn't come back for at least an hour. Maybe not for a day. Her instinct was the pull Cicada backwards, out of the doorway, but she resisted the impulse. The soldier had to know what she was doing. --------------------------------------------- Fluttershy kept her head down and as close to Colette as possible. There was shouting everywhere and people hurting--dying--why had she insisted on coming? Rainbow Dash could have handled it, but not her. She was dead weight here. The best she could hope for was to keep from losing, stay close to the group and hope there might be a chance to tend the wounded afterwards.
  7. @@Hypn0ticD, @Pripyat Pony,@00Pony "Do you know who these men are and where they came from?" Twilight said breahtlessly to Diliges. "I was in my room when we were just attacked!" ------------------------------------------------------ Rainbow frowned, shifting in her shackles as if she could have somehow pressed her ear against the heavy wall-cum-door that sealed their new cell off from the outside world. "I know know," she said. "Pinkie? I coulda' sworn I heard something like right outside. Something's gotta' be going' on. How long as it been since they took us outta' here to stick needles in us?"
  8. @@Hypn0ticD, "It's okay," she said, trying unsuccessfully to shake him off. "I'm...not a rabbit. Urk...I'll be okay eventually." She looked up at Applejack. "AJ, where are the others? Did they get out? Or are there still people trapped upstairs?" She clambered up with Stephen's assistance, looking to each one for help in turn.
  9. @@Hypn0ticD, @@Pripyat Pony, Twilight groaned as Applejack embraced her. SHe covered her eyes with a hand. "Oh, no...not again." She sighed. "Well, at least it'll probably wear off in a couple of hours. Make sure everyone knows that." She tumbled back to her butt when Cicada shoved Applejack back. Unfortunately, Twilight fell in the descending direction of the stairs. Crashing in slow motion, she made a feeble, intent effort to reach out to the bars, but fell short and slid down the rest of the flight on her back. "Ow..." Twilight sighed again. When she had been a little filly, she hadn't really imagined that being a Princess involved dealing with this sort of thing. "Stop fighting," she tried to say, but she wasn't sure if she was loud enough to be heard from up there as she pulled herself onto her knees, and then onto one leg.
  10. @@Pripyat Pony, Twilight stayed, not by choice, exactly where Stephen put her. She glanced up at Cicada and smiled weakly, as if apologizing for keeping the Changeling soldier who was no doubt much more competent out of the fight. But apologies for later. "What happened?" she croaked, coughed to clear her throat, and spoke again. "I didn't see...what I did. I didn't hurt anyone, did I?"
  11. @@Hypn0ticD,@@Pripyat Pony, (Super-awkward-thinking-Fluttershy-IC-move-is-to-trip-and-get-shot-but-not-wanting-to-slow-down-the-story-so-ignoring-Fluttershy...FTW.) Twilight groggily pushed out to find purchase, encountering a slippery metal bare to one side that seemed to do the trick well enough. She held herself up by the rail until the world had stopped spinning enough for her to stand, whereupon her other arm wound up grabbing Stephen's pocket for balance. "I'm okay," she insisted. "I'm not shot. No one is going to get shot." She took another deep breath, working her way to the point where she would stand without holding onto anything. She'd never tried to force herself to come to so fast after a major manaburst like that. It certainly couldn't have any positive health consequences. Why, if she wasn't careful, she might even... Too late. The thought sent her lunch ricocheting in lumpy green glory down the center of the story.
  12. @, @@Pripyat Pony, @@Hypn0ticD, "Eeep!" Fluttershy covered her head. "Don't hurt anyone!" ------------------------- Rainbow Dash inhaled deeply, rewarded by the distant tang of smoke. In her new cell, the sounds of gunfire were seeping easily through the walls. Her chains rattled as she turned to Pinkie. "Yeah," she said. "Thanks. Thanks for that." @@Hypn0ticD, @Pripyat Pony, Twilight rubbed her foredhead, moaning heavily. She felt like a million pounds of lead. Her eyes were cracked open, but admitting no more yet but colorless light, and the pain...like an alicorn playing drums on her... Were those wings? Oh, right...she was an alicorn. Hah. "Where am I?" she mumbled.
  13. @@Pripyat Pony, Dash harrumphed, doing her best to nicker. "Pinkie," she moaned, "if you could've got that door open, we could've been out of here a week ago!" She rapped on the thick steel pad a couple times, then shook her head. "Stupid," she muttered. "Can't let Pinkie get in my head. Seriously, filly, don't you hear something outside?"
  14. @@Pripyat Pony,@@Hypn0ticD, Fluttershy kept her head down and ran, trying to stay close to Colette ----------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash lifted her head for a moment. For a moment, she thought she had pricked her ear, before she realized that she had cauliflower ears instead of the fine-tuned triangular dishes she'd used to. "Pinkie?" she muttered in the dark. "You hear something?"
  15. @@Hypn0ticD,@@00Pony, @@Pripyat Pony, (OOC: Yeah, buck the plan) Twilight glanced nervously over at Cicada. She should fight...this was the same as dealing with a rampaging Ursa Major or Timberwolves...except the Timberwolves had just been hungry, an the Ursa Major just grouchy. The cruelty was terrifying. She tried to summon her magic, but it stayed just beyond her ability, like swallowing after a lump of water had just passed her throat. She began to freeze, there in the middle of the hallway, knowing that she must be in terrific danger every second that she stood here. But she didn't want to go back, and she couldn't force her will and body to move forward. Then there was a thundercrack. Something made Twilight jump, whistling past her ear and hair, and when she spun, a man in the corner had been reduced to a ragdoll covered, as if in grim humor, with blood that spattered the walls. And then was the familiar feeling of something breaking, the heat, and then the drowning light. Twilight was--just barely, faintly--aware of her feet leaving the ground for some time as the mana erupted, reshaped on the fly in an orgasm of pulsing energy. One part of her will was, distantly, aware of the rest of her acting swiftly and without thought or hesitation. She came back to ground--some time later, which seemed like hours, though it couldn't have been more than a few seconds. When she looked down the hallway in the previous direction of the fighting, all she could see were clothes, and occasionally a few guns, lying beside tastefully selected potted plants. "Oh, dear, not again...' Twilight tried to say, and reach out, but fainted a second later. (OOC: So the idea was eveyone in sight that direction down the hall is a plant now--civillians and characters included, etc. You can sort of select who you want to have been frozen if you'd like--for instance if you really don't want Warlord to be a plant of whatever, he can be out of sight. Same goes for Cicada, Angie, Stephen, whatnot. Or you could write about the no-doubt fascinating experience of being a plant. I wish Futtershy were here now...)
