I might have this wrong, but isn't a familiar a talking animal that belongs to a witch? Sounds like Spike to me.

A great and powerful pagetopper.

See y'all later, time for me to get my sleep.

@Dalek: In a general sense, yeah, but depending on the universe's take on them they also help with spells, act as magical conduits, and other stuff like that.

'Night, Ace.

Goodnight, Ace.

And yeah, I should probably clarify that everything I know about D&D I learned from The Order of the Stick.

Cue crossovers with the ponies defending their homes?

Night Ace!

Furbies are terrifying. They're scarier than a schoolbus full of cockroaches.

A familiar is a creature with a magical link to its master. Rather like a magic leash. Spike shows no such property, though he and Twilight share a much deeper bond: love.

I mean, family love. Not romantic love.

So, how 'bout dat Twispike?

*facehoof*

Goodnight, Ace.

@JT Pretty much the same here...

@Bad You'll probably get some in Pony Emblem (Support, not necessarily ship)

Most of what I learned came from DM Of the Rings and Darths and Droids.

So has the thread actually slowed down the last few weeks, or is it just my imagination?

The Order of the Stick, Darths & Droids, and Friendship Is Dragons for me...

Oh yeah, Friendship is Dragons as well.

_*Drop-Kicks the door into the thread down*

Hey, sorry, the door was locked. But yeah, this show is completely and utterly awesome. But I always turn down the volume whenever the theme song plays. I have my limits.

Oh, new guy. Welcome!

Where's that questionare?

Welcome to the herd Sunny, once you find yourself making pony avatars, you'll never escape our clutches. Mwahahahahhahahahahhahahahha!

What about the extended theme?

Has there been any news on the status of Fighting is Magic lately?

Hi Bluesunnyday.

Man I keep thinking that the new pony episode will be tomorrow but it isn't. I hate it when days don't feel like they're suppose to.

Wonder if the ponyies have weekends?

I'm pretty sure that Sunday is a national day of rest in Equestria.

Dear Princess Celestria,

Today I learned that if you want to do productive things, do not download a modpack for Minecraft, or else you will find yourself spending all day fighting pirate fleets, terraforming the land for the Japanese, researching Eldritch artifacts to discover lost knowledge and getting killed repeatedly by a stone guardian. You will not find yourself doing any of the important things you were meant to do, like biology homework, so make sure you do these things first, or you will not have time later in the day to do them.

Your faithful student,

Cookoo Snest.
