Feather of Sun, what do you have to say for yourself?

I hated martin's books. Couldn't read them. Same with Terry Goodkind. As for the show...I don't have TV and really don't want to see a show of a book series I disliked. I'm more of an Asimov/Clarke/Niven/McCaffrey/Bujold/Cherryh/Yolen/Tad Williams/Paolini/Rowling and Tolkien type of person. But, i will say, I would perfer Terry and George over Ponies anyday.

You can try Sapkowski(The Witcher Saga) or Grzedowicz(The Lord of the Ice Garden) if they have been translated to english. Or ROBCakeran53(My Little Dashie), that one is good too.

How about no.

The only fanfic anyone should ever read is Newt Gingrich: Hero of Equestria. It isn't a story: it's an experience.

Every year, some of the Festivult cookies/cakes/jellies change their effects.

Can we expect to see offensive instead of healing Cupcakes on the next Festivult update?

Offensive cupcakes? I doubt it since the game is rated T.

We all knew the zsword was going to be a joke. No for me it was back when Goku was on the ship approaching namek, what was that 10 episodes to cover the last five minutes of his approach while gohan and krillon got the stuff pounded out of them. Then the last episode before he lands bam 6 month break on cartoon network before it comes back on and we get to see what goku can do, oh sure it was glorious, right up tunil he got his body stolen. NOW THAT WAS FRELLED!

I think it's awesome I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Go me.

How did my little pony references get past anyone with common sense? Well thats easy, no one with a lick of sense past the age of eight would have any idea that these are my little pony references. This is one of the lamest things I have ever seen in a game, congratulations Turbine.

I was blissfully unaware of these references until this thread. Sadly, now I know. Some things you can't unread bro.

Cupcakes are nutritious enough to heal because they are made of little ponies.

I feel the same way. But now that I do know, I'm forced to ask, was the person who chose to reference these items a male? And if so, I'm compelled to require that he permanently surrender his man card.

I think DDO: Equestria would have deeper characters and a more interesting storyline than anything in the forgotten realms

[Truga]

The TV show based on George R. R. Martin's books is probably the most popular show of the last 5 years (at least). If you haven't heard of Game of Thrones, you likely have been living under a rock. Not knowing Goodkind just shows that you haven't read fantasy lately.

I read fantasy almost daily. I haven't even touched any of GRRM's books, because I don't read unfinished **** that's not going to be finished in the forseeable future. Cliffhangers suck. If it's not episodic or finished, I won't bother reading it, no matter how good it is. For this same reason I don't intend to watch Game of Drones until it's, just like the books, finished.

But again, it's not about popularity, it's about relevance.

So, why are there a ton of band and movie references in this game? Also would it be proper to throw in a bunch of anime references when they're based on D&D (where are all my slayers references?). What about Star Wars references? There's at least some of those in here, and that's a Sci-fi, which has little to do with D&D.

I personally find this thread dumb. The OP was probably using a sarcastic negative tone in the thread title (and it seems I'm right, considering his other posts) and found the entire thing pretty funny, as did I after I read it. I had no idea about this before this thread, as I don't watch ponies. Then it degenerated into people complaining about a reference to a popular children's cartoon show.

If I hadn't stumbled upon this post, I'd have no idea that those weapons are a nod to My Little Pony. If someone had asked me to guess I probably would have guessed Sailor Moon, but honestly, some of you guys sound like you've just got your manhood chopped off. Seriously. Get a grip!

Turbine's naming policy
http://support.turbine.com/link/port...-Naming-Policy



Who do we contact to report naming violations when they're weapons instead of DDO characters or guilds?

I think Turbine would be able to get usage rights from Hasbro pretty easily, considering the latter owns the former.


And the lot of you, did that "STOP LIKING THINGS I DON'T LIKE" picture a couple pages ago whoosh right over your heads?

You've never heard of the feared Vorpal Cupcake?

You sure you didn't already surrender yours? Sure sounds like it.

Pffft... cupcake. FEAR THE BEARD!

Exactly this. I posted this thread because it was funny (and because Twilight is best pony and the princesses are awesome). Everyone who's complaining is just buttmad.

There are different levels of D&D related, fantasy based references, or, to put it bluntly, there are different levels of stupid pop culture references.

Obviously the stupid-range is subjective. My personal range is as follows (1 being the least stupid reference non-D&D related reference, and 10 being one of the most stupid, unrelated, vapid, references possible that make you a little bit dead inside).

1- Cleverish and/or relevant to fantasy trope: e.g an NPC using a quote from Conan the movie

3- Silly but remotely fantasy related: e.g princess bride reference

5- Groaner and not really related to D&D, but not annoying: e.g. Scorpion rare named Schenker, Barb NPC Arnal Swarts

7- Bad crowbar, no connection to D&D and no need to go there: can't think of an example right now

8.5- My pretty pony, strawberry shortcake, sailor moon, barbie, etc

10- God awful reference to some awful pop phenomenon that is the anti-thesis of everything D&D: can't think of any in DDO, but if they ever had any thing alluding to Jersey Shore or Real Housewives of the OC it would be here.
