The small breaching charge roared as it destroyed the lock of airlock and sent the door swinging inward violently. Smoke poured into the corridor of the starship. A few seconds a lone figure sauntered into the corridor. Pausing to look around the newcomer spotted the terrified crew member who was standing petrified in fear about 12ft away. The white unicorn mare tossed her head causing her long blue-violet mane to sway. With an impish grin she addressed the crew member.

A patron reward for RebelSqurl. He wanted to recreate a scene that happened in Caerdwyn's 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons game. At one point the party was battling some baddies down in the sewers beneath the streets of Duskvale. Which is the hometown of another member of the party.

At my previous job we would periodically have to have refresher meetings to remind the staff about certain core principles and policies of the company. Sometimes this was because we'd have new staff members who were not familiar with them, but often it was simply because it was too easy to get complacent and forget about them. This was true whether you were management or were a long-time sale associate.
Over the last week it feels like a similar thing might...

Last night was another session of my 5th Edition D&D game. The party has finally reached the Keep of Wondrous Grandeur, and have met the two remaining staff members of the keep. This is Tristan Gloryplume who's the Major Dodo of the keep. He perfectly represents the wacky, surreal nature of the keep.

Discord sat on the floor of Fluttershy's cottage. It was the early evening and this was their weekly scheduled roleplaying night. They often had other sessions during the week but those were more spontaneous events. But Wednesday evening was set aside for just this.
Part of their routine was that they would switch who got to choose what the theme of the evening and who would be calling shots. The chiffon yellow mare had gone u...

When I'm sick and under the weather I'll sometimes have rather odd, unusual, one-off dreams. This week while recovering from my bout of crud I had a dream one evening which was set in a fantasy, sword and sorcerer, Heavy Metal, anthropomorphic, MLP setting. In that dream Rarity was the leader of a flight of mercenary dragon riders that served Princess Celestia. Riding a much larger and grownup Spike she and her forces patrolled the borders and mountains of Equestria.

This morning was the first one this week that I woke up feeling and felt I'd beaten the crud that's been plaguing me this week. One thing I've been having dreams about this week is having various characters in nurses outfits showing up to check up on me and make sure I'm getting better. Last night Luna made an appearance.

Carousel and I watched Petina and Trixie wander out of the club in my Equestria dreamscape. Games of chance As they left the room I glanced over at the earth pony mare and smiled.
"So. Do you think they're going back to our room or her's?"
The palomino mare grinned. "Oh they'll go back to our room for sure." Said the mare. "I...

Another of the drawing I started during my most recent Picarto stream which was a tribute to the late Syd Mead. One of the films Syd worked on was the 1986 film Aliens. I could see Sweetie Belle as Newt and Rarity as Ripley, and the changelings as the aliens. Beside I would love to hear 2020-01-15 23:32:11 +0000 UTC

After lunch Chocolate Wonders we spent the rest of the afternoon having fun and experiencing the many attractions Pony Island had to offer in my Equestria dreamscape. One of the high points of the day was Petina winning at one of the games of chance. Her prize was a giant plushie of Celestia that was almost as big as her.
We thought about having ...

I've been under the weather the last couple of days. One of the ways I can tell I'm really ill is that start having dreams about being sick. So I recently had a dream of being at the hospital for an appointment. While I was sitting there waiting to see the doctor I watched the CMC walk by in nurse outfits as they made their rounds. Applebloom seemed to be trying to read some doctor's chicken scratch writing. Scootaloo was fascinated with a syringe full of fluid; while Sweetie Belle appe...

"Cutie Mark Crusaders bear wranglers! Yeah!" The CMC apparently are having another sleepover at Fluttershy's cottage, and seem to be having fun playing with Harry the Bear before heading off to bed. For his part Harry doesn't seem to mind. Especially if Sweetie Belle keeps scratching him behind his right ear.

One of the drawings I started during my most recent Picarto stream. The stream was a tribute to late Syd Mead who passed away at the end of 2019. The first film that I saw Syd's work in was Tron. In particular I loved the lightcycles. So I decided to do Rainbow Dash from Equestria Girls as a lightcycle riders.
Note. The light cycle is not based on any specific one from the movie...

The golden rays of Celestia's sun crept into our room as we began our first full day in Manehattan in my Equestria dreamscape. The focus of today was a trip to Pony Island for a day of food, boardwalk games, rides, and taking in the general ambience of the place. So after a quick light breakfast we headed out.
Since we'd be out in the bright sun all day proper head gear was the order of the day. I had a new white straw skimmer with a deep blue hat band...
