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

Considering my 7 year-old is primed and ready for TTRPGs (and my 3 year-old is an expert dice tower architect), I'm sold.

So, River Horse just announced "Tales of Primordia," about cute cartoon dinosaurs trying to save the land from the depredations of cave men. Kickstarting in 2023.

I'm guessing that's our timeline for when Tails of Equestria is going out of print and the MLP license fully switching over to Renegade.

Interesting! Did River Horse give up the license or lose it?

River Horse's Labyrinth and Dark Crystal games are phenomenal...but as a company, it feels like they just publish these works of art in terms of game design and production and then just disappear back into the mists or something ;-P There's very little discussion of their games, none of the folks from the company are out there chatting about their stuff. Hell, even Ben Milton who's ridiculously prolific doesn't say much about Labyrinth. He mentions it off-handed sometimes, but it's not like we see anything else from anybody else about their releases. What gives?

(You can tell I'm emotionally invested in this, right?)

River Horse did a great job with MLP:TOE; there was a good amount of support.

Am running Transformers (also Essence 20 system), and I've seen press that says the new MLP will indeed be Essence20... which means I won't be buying in.

Even people who are thinking of switching over should probably scoop up the River Horse stuff ASAP. There's a lot there and the system is light enough that converting it all over to the new system should be trivial.
