@randomwonderbolt @rarity You should come! Check out www.FurFest.org if you want details! I'm actually the guy who ran ALL of the MLP content there for the past several years, and I've finally conned a few other local Bronies to run some side panels! Plus, all of the tabletop gaming I'll be running there like "Are You A Changeling?", Inspireland, MLP: TOON, @MassEffect : Unity (all are which games I've developed, personally!), it's going to be a blast!

I'm so exited about Midwest Furfest! I know the thought of a Furry con bothers some, but it's a REALLY great con, with a HUGE brony presence, and there'll be a TON of Pony gaming, brought to you by yours truly! :D
-
@rarity Indeed, it is in the Chicago area! Technically, Rosemont, but still Chicago area!
-
@draioct Not quite sure why I asked actually, since it's probably coming up soon and I have no plans for it. Oh well
-
@draioct Yeah, I definitely have no way to make it down to Chicago by then. I live in SW Michigan
-
@randomwonderbolt I'll bet if you check out the Midwest Brony Division on facebook, you'd find several local Bronies that juuuust might be willing to carpool!
-
@rarity Such a shame! But, mid April, there'll be one that I frequent, near the Detroit area, so you might be able to plan for that one! :D
-
@rarity Hey, no pressure! It's just an option, if you ever wanted to try out a weekend of Brony fun!
-
@randomwonderbolt They wouldn't be strangers, if you made friends with them! Join the MBD, and you can hang out at some of the meetups!
-
@randomwonderbolt Oooh, ouch. Yeah, you might want to take them along with, then!
-
@draioct and yet I spend all my time here. Oh well, people are more than the community they belong to I suppose. Anyways, what's up? I don't remember seeing you around here and yet you seem really cool
-
@rarity I've been on a major social networking hiatus for a while. Been a full time student workin' on my psych degree, and running Equestria Inspired (which this site has a link to, here on the front page!) and mostly developing and playtesting the games I mentioned several posts back!
-
@randomwonderbolt I wish you the very best of luck! Maybe, if you're super-cool for your mom and dad, I'll mail you a free copy of my game "Are You A Changeling?" Howzat sound?
-
@draioct ^_^
-
@draioct oh look at that, we do! Be careful to keep a low profile making games like that, though. You might get HasbrOwned
-
@rarity All of my pony-themed games are specifically tailored to avoid all forms of copyright infringement, actually! :D

-
@draioct I take it, a 2d game?
-
@rarity It's a really expanded pony spin-off of the popular "Are You A Werewolf?" or, Mafia, or "Lupus In Tabula" party games that you might be more familiar with
-
@draioct I know another guy who made a ponified Mafia game like that. His uses show characters though, and he doesn't sell it or anything, just runs it at conventions and stuff.
-
@redenchilada Yeah, there's a group in the Western US that took my game, and changed all the roles to the characters from the show, which is highly dangerous, because not only did they steal my game, but they MADE it copyright infringing. They could, in all honestly, get ME shut down, because they were too lazy to just get my permission
-
@draioct Nah, the guy I know lives in central Texas. And he isn't commercializing it or anything.
-
@draioct That sucks. :/
-
@rarity Actually, I don't know if you heard of the official MLP card game that they tested out at GenCon this year... But it's actually about %75 similar to another game system I devised when the show came out, but shelved the idea due to copyright restraints... Now I'm both happy and sad, because one of my ideas was thought good enough for Hasbro, but I'm so sad that I can't claim credit XP
-
@draioct probably just a coincidence, right? I mean, I wouldn't put it above Hasbro to take fan content since they've done it before, but to take a whole game?
-
@rarity Oh,. it's completely coincidence! I never shared that particular game design with more than 4 people, and I don't think they saw enough to build the system off of it. But, I DO know that Hasbro's been watching me...
-
@draioct Harbo is literally the NSA #wakeupsheeple
-
@draioct Question: How can you tell that Hasbro has tabs on what you're doing?
-
@clayinthecarpet Easy. I run panels at -several- conventions I go to, across the country. After I run panels, the cons get information from Hasbro (and things that neither they nor I can share, publicly), and I get informed of their responses. Plus, I cheat... I know a few people on the *inside*
-
@draioct Ah, I see. Very interesting. Take care of yourself, for sure. Though, really the only worry you should have is the receipt of a C&D, which is rather common and harmless unless you just ignore it entirely.
-
@clayinthecarpet I am always on the lookout! But, I'm %99 sure all of my work has been done specifically to avoid ever teeeechnically earning one, but... You never know
-
@draioct I hope you're right!
