General Discussion / LF Twilight's Secret Shipping Stable

I'm looking to find this expansion and I simply cannot seem to locate a copy. Could someone point me in the right direction? The link in the reddit thread is dead.

Website Issues / The Card Database
« on: May 12, 2016, 05:16:04 pm »
I'm curious about the software behind the card database. I have a project in mind and that style of display would be utterly perfect for the presentation. Just wondering how the system is running.

Drawing Board / FiMFic Expansion Pack Concept
« on: May 12, 2016, 03:32:54 pm »
So I've been reading through various FiMFiction stories lately and thinking about the really stand-out stories. I may (for no obvious reason at all) have a romantic weakness streak as well...sooooooooo...I'm playing with the idea of designing a series of cards based on some of the best FiMFic stories (After getting author permission of course).

Here's what I have so far. Please let me know what you think! (Still very much a work in-progress)

Hard Reset

Ponies:
Young Starswirl
Morning Glow
Shooting Star
Azalea
Azalea the Changeling
Queen Sparkle

Ships:
Time Loop (One or both cards become Dystopian)
Weathervane
Friend-Enforced Therapy
Superpowered Elements (Race Change, can change Changelings)
Memories from Another Dimension

Goals:
No Spatulas This Time - 4 pt - Twilight, Azalea & Luna
Grounded in Reality - 2 pt - Azalea and Twilight
Eons Apart, Eons Together - 2 pt - Luna & Starswirl
Love Spans All Dimensions - 1pt - Rainbow & Applejack with both set as Dystopian.

Shipping and Handling

Ponies:
Niles Nigellus (Pronghorn) - Pronghorn Network - At the start of every turn, you may move Niles and an attached ship to any unoccupied point on the grid as long as it doesn’t break any other existing ship. Power cannot be copied.
Lady Falalauria (Deer, Elder) - Far Sight - When Falalauria is placed on the grid, player may look through the top five cards on the goal deck. They may then rearrange them as they desire. Power cannot be copied.

Showcase / A Panel Of Ponies Completed! (1.0.6)
« on: March 18, 2016, 02:51:14 pm »
Greetings all!

I’m Novel Idea, a somewhat recent acolyte of the art of the Secret ShipFic. I also happen to be the Executive Producer (and a dozen other things) for the Manehattan Project (http://www.gardensofequestria.com). Running GoE tends to get extremely stressful and I’ve found that TSSSF is a wonderful way to relax. And it still lets me be creative…and the best part? Write purple prose.

I’m quite the fan of the MLP Comics (Siege of the Crystal Empire makes me bawl my eyes out at the end, I’m not ashamed to say) and was thrilled to discover Horrible People Games had done an entire expansion based on it…only to discover that it was never completed!

Well, that needed to rectified.

So I rectified it.

Below you’ll find most of the cards for my version of the “Panel of Ponies” Expansion Set. All of them are in Bleed format so you can use Printer Studio as you see fit.

Let me stress that I am an author and a designer, not an artist. None of the artwork below is mine. The artwork is either directly from the official comics themselves or from fan art where I have received written permission to use the piece (Pixelkitties went a bit nuts when I showed her the ones based on her material). Every single artist has been credited on the card and is even further credited on the card's deviantArt pages, as well as the reasoning behind some design/art decisions.* (http://mlp-novelidea.deviantart.com/gallery/58059629/TSSSF)

*I still have no idea what comic "Subverting the Regime" is supposed to be from!

I only take credit for putting together the design based on the template provided from Horrible People Games, fine tuning spacing, font sizes and the like and that bit of purple prose at the bottom.

So without further ado, I present (most of) the completed version of “A Panel of Ponies!”
