Hasbro has a range of other brands; most wouldn't be suitable for a TTRPG, but there are certainly some that would work.

I've bought every Tails of Equestria product that River Horse has put out. Since I'm guessing that Hasbro yanked the license, I'm thinking of doing a retrospective on the line, akin to what I did for the AD&D 2nd Edition leatherettes and now the various miniseries.

I'm such a fan. I don't know if I have them all, but I have quite a few.

My intention back in the day was to use ToE as a stepping stone for my then-5yo, to move up from No Thank You, Evil!. But then the kid asked, "when are we going to just play D&D?" and the plans changed.

I still plan on running it someday, when we have more of my now-8yo's friends joining in.

But to the point: I'm interested in your full line retrospective, for sure.

Isn't it funny? A preschool-friendly franchise is +13y as TTRPG.

There's a reason most games, including game books, are typically for 13 and up. Most things marketed to the 12 and under crowd require more rigorous product safety testing than things for 13+, potentially more expensive third party tests. And yes, that includes books.

It sounds like a great game for young kids.

...and adults too!

Back in the '80s, we used to do some SJG Toon games, but I could never quite "get in the mood" of the game. But with the River Horse version of MLP, it was probably one of the most fun RPG times I've run in a while - well, short of Alien, but...

Anyways, hope this version is as good.

Has to called all licenses in to make Essence20 games.

D&D in the early days, with its exposed boobies and demons and murder hobos was 10+

Times are definitely changing. Hope this is not an epi-phenomenon of adultescence.

They are still not making sales to people outside the US. Just charge me the stupidly expensive shipping. That is what every other company does. Just would like the option of getting the physical product and PDF together. No issues if ordering from Green Ronin or Chaosium (even before they had a Canadian warehouse. Sigh...

D&D in the early days, with its exposed boobies and demons and murder hobos was 10+

But it was the 70s which was pretty trippy

Times are definitely changing. Hope this is not an epi-phenomenon of adultescence.

Pretty sure if we start looking for that, it becomes a never-ending rabbit hole of back-and-forth brickbats over whether an elfgame with phlumphs and pun-tastic spell components is more or less mature than MLP, Star Wars, superhero games, an actual 1980s Ghostbusters RPG, and so on...

So is the magic system powered by Friendship points? Missed opportunity if not.
