Yeah, based on the Elements would have been excellent. There are official Tails dice, too, but they're just color coded for convenience and I guess patterned according to the three races? (Cloudy, marbled, or sparkly.)

They're so close. Also, dem Season 1 vectors (...and Starlight).

[Copper Bezel]

The perennial stock vectors for Pinkie and Rarity have always seemed slightly uncanny to me.

 

I did appreciate the use of Starlight given she is technically now the one other unicorn among the Manes.

[Zamuel]

Yeah, she gets used as such in the book. All things considered, Sunset actually gets a passing mention.

[Copper Bezel]

Oh, nice!

I'll stick with my all purple crystal set I think

Yeah, it's a shame the My Little Pony-themed Dungeons & Dragons dice area Hascon exclusive. 

 

Then again,  since we still have people who claim D&D is devil worship and can possibly be used to commit crimes, best to make this an exclusive so Equestria does not get dragged into this.

[Destron D-69]

the truth of that statement makes me sad on every possible level

Oooorrr, we could ignore such people? Especially since a group could be fully stocked with paladins (or the equivalents).

[Copper Bezel]

Yeah, that's really a 90s thing, Mothers Against Canada and all has different targets now. 

 

And D&D fans who appreciate MLP are probably least likely to be all murderverse in their D&D too, for that matter, if we want to look at that end.

Next supplement announced, "Festival of Lights" letting players go from Levels 2-5 in the Umberfoal (aka the Underdark).

 

Now I want them to do a Barrier Peaks homage module....

It's good that it seems like they're committed to there being a continued stream of content for the system.

[Zamuel]

Since some more supplements and such have come out, I'm curious, does anyone know if the three ponies on most of the promotional material are named?

Is this the party from the cover of the core book and "Curse of the Statuettes" game? I don't have any of the materials, so I'm no help here but also curious.

[Zamuel]

Yeah, them. The fact that they look like decent designs that tell you a lot about them even without words has always caught my attention.

[Dvandom]

Are there more books out?  Amazon still only has the core rules, the GM screen, and the dice set.

[Zamuel]

There's supposed to be a sourcebook based off the recent movie though I don't know if that already dropped or if that's still coming. Granted...I guess that probably wouldn't have those three in it.

[Copper Bezel]

I believe the intent is that "Curse of the Statuettes" is an adventure that includes a GM screen, rather than a GM screen that includes an adventure, but I don't have it and could be wrong (appears to be a very thin book.)

[Dvandom]

I have it, it's a proper "module" plus GM screen and a pad of character sheets, all in a box big enough to hold the main rulebook too.  The adventure expands on the Badlands area a bit, with maybe a half dozen new critters/monsters.  It doesn't include Somnambula's hometown or anything from the movie, but we might see the world map needing some tweaking to fit in all the Storm King's old stomping grounds anyway.

My copy of the second module, "The Festival of Lights," arrived today.  It has a lot more statblocks for monsters than the previous one, and a number of AD&D in-jokes (Maredenkainen's Faithful Hound, stats for a Flumph, a telescoping 10-foot pole for exploring, etc).
