Monsters and Mutants and Manticores, Oh My: Entry 1

In my ongoing, slow-going quest to finish up the first book, I've started working more and more on the monster template sheets.  I use the word monster here loosely, of course - I'll be making sheets for Zebra, Ponies, Ghouls, Alicorns and many of the other strange fauna that inhabit the radioactive wasteland of Fallout Equestria before I'm done here and can truly buckle down and focus on the second book and its dark and foreboding secrets. 

So this post is a promise, both to myself and to you, post-apocalyptic pony fans:  For the next two weeks, and for as long after that as I can manage, I will be posting one new critter sheet a day, every weekday. 

Look forward to it!  Today's post: Dogs. 



Dog – Mare’s best friend, in spite of what the jewelry companies might want you to think.  Dogs survived the wars hiding out in primarily the same way as ponies – in stables.  There were at least two stables that were specifically designated to allow pets.  Many dogs actually survived with ponies in other ways as well – in tunnels, caverns, and other fallout shelters that weathered both the blast and the following… well, fallout. 
Many packs of wild dogs, the descendants of those whose owners died in the wasteland or who simply abandoned them to fend for themselves when the end came, still roam the wasteland today.

Hello, Ponies from EQD!

Hey, that's neat.  Based on my traffic monitor, apparently my blog has been linked by EQD!

So yeah, apparently I'm listed in the Equestria Daily Gaming Index as of some time in the last three months.  I was never notified about it in any capacity, just sort of started getting traffic hits from that page about two and a half months ago.  Didn't actually track it directly until these last few weeks when I was buckling down to finish the core. 

My RPG is listed second from the top of the "D100 (percentile dice) based:" category under the Complete Games heading, directly below the savage-worlds based PNP Fallout Equestria system.
(Ctrl+F "d100" will take you right there, since the page is sort of long). 

(And directly above a system that, not to be mean, makes me sort of laugh and cry simultaneously every time I look at its rules document.  Seriously, that poor person or persons who are responsible for that thing really ought to take it down... it's just not playable.  I should know, I tried.)

Dunno when that happened, but thanks for stopping by, EQD people.  I won't let my Trixie-based recognition go to my head.  :)

Drop me a line if you see something you've got questions about!
