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

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

I hope the new MLP book/game is as good as the River Horse version. I'm a big fan of that one.

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

I can finally make use of my painted ponies!

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?)

I don't know what happened with the license. For all I know, they still have it and can publish concurrently.

I'll confess I'm not a fan of the Labyrinth boardgame; I bought it but don't care for the mechanics. To each our own.

But the MLP game is stellar. In have the core book and a bunch of the supplements - including the movie sourcebook and the bestiary (which includes both flumphs and mimics, to my endless delight).

It sounds like a great game for young kids.

And look what it did to all of us!

I've bought every Tails of Equestria product that River Horse has put out. Since I'm guessing that Hasbro yanked their 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.
