you know, you manage to make it feel like she's becoming corrupted from the way you write all this, also.. will everyone get to know the story of fred?Β

Cheers to the creators and their community that I once doubtedΒ

I don't like that book. That book in particular. I don't trust it.

I will readily admit I was clueless about the existance of this up to this journal... looks like I've got a l-o-t of catching up to do... >.<

Just a minor note, but since you want us to go for the goat....wouldn't it be easier just to show us what the goat herself looks like? I mean, you're asking for at least 50K inΒ 51 hours, so if you show us a rough sketch of the goat herself (though I'm still not sure how balance works as a power), I'm sure people will give even more into acquiring that character. Please post a picture of the goat, even if it's her face,Β on the next stream or a new post.

Thank YOU for making this game possible. The devs could have given up hope, but you swooped in like a superhero and made an inspirational story out of a saddening defeat.
Can't wait to read the entire book of lore!

Good luck!! Sorry if I couldn't support the campaign with money. My credit card got blocked recently.Β
Also, don't mind this, but there is a little mistake in the link

It's rising ever higher...but given the announcement for forums, you mean you'll add in a place in which we can bring out fan-created predators and herbivores that your teamΒ willΒ select as NPCs and enemies for the game itself? Because we as a fandom have a lot of OCs just dying to challenge the Champions. Come to think of it, since you'll have story mode, will it be similar to Golden Sun in which you and your AI-controlled/Online friends as the other 5 Champions encounter threats and obstacles and find ways to overcome them as a group, as well as interact with each other on chat or over a phone line via mic headset?

I'm loving the lore you're putting out so far! They've all been really well written and fun to read ^_^
Also I just bought the game ^_^ Good luck!! I hope we will reach the goat addition. That would be cool to see!

I immediately thought of Bob from the Dresden Files.Β

Endearing looking in some way, but not without a dark side.

These unicorns are over-gasped!
But surely, you can trust the Unicornomicon. When has a -nomicon ever done something bad?

This might be the first time that a nomicon does something good.

Congrats to Lauren Faust and Mane 6. The world of Foenum will be able to live and breathe. Now I just have to hope my laptop can actually support the game, lol.

A grey knight off to save the world. Will she prove that dark is not always evil, or discover that sometimes it IS?

This is the best chapter. 
Uh...
Herd?

Yes! 98%! I knew if I sent word of the project to Wooden Torchlight's MLP group, they'll flow like a flood into supporting the project. I'm just so freaking happy some of my efforts towards spreading the word worked (and I hope to buy the game itself at the store if anything). Let's see if we can get the remaining 10K by the end of today, guys!

Cancel that, apparently it was Sketchy the Changeling and Silver Quill that sped up the Backer population. Still, it's now up to 99%, so if you want, make a congrats video on YouTube. Also, check out the Them's Fighting Herds music remix I found from Steven AD, it's awesome: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ET_k1β¦

I want to donate and play but I can't! Errrrr!!! Good luck to you all and forever shall you succeed in your goals and inspire.

I'm interested to see what her home stage is going to be. It doesn't seem she will be very welcome in The Sacred Grove so, is it big enough for her to find a shelter there? Or perhaps she could create her own Grove and shape it with not so light magic...

I'd donate to them, but I don't have any money really. I actually advertised them personally though.

These unicorns seem a little sensitive around dark magic, I'm interested to see a unicorn that actually goes into dark magic, I think it looks very interesting.

Man, these chapters are coming out faster than I thought they would! And this one in particular hooked me. It really makes me wanna know what happens next! Something about it kinda makes me think of Skullgirls, partially because I played it for the first time like a week ago. Ah man, I hope there's not any sad endings, though those would be totally fine.

This backstory is very Faust-like, in more ways then one.
π: 0 β©: 0
This raises so many quesions.. What did she look like before she found the Unicornomicon? How did she find the Unicornomicon and can Fred be all that trusted (Discord comes to mind.) FHTNG may have a bit of backstory himself. (Is his name an acronym for something?)

I had not thought of that.

Silly, I know, but I hate the cloven-hooved look of the unicorns in culture. I know it's how they have been depicted historically, but I prefer the modern popular cultural look of aΒ solid-hoofed, horned horse.Β
π: 0 β©: 2
Awww, I love those type of unicorns ;w; Β The cloven-hooved feathered ones, I mean. Β I can understand how you feel, though. Β A lot of unicorn lovers probably started out the same way (as did I.)
π: 0 β©: 1
I just think that the horse-version looks prettier.
π: 0 β©: 0
you know they can't do that because of Hasbro.
π: 0 β©: 1
No, Hasbro does not own the popular culture depictions of unicorns. And I wasn't talking about the game, I was talking about the general depiction of unicorns in culture.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, ok, I just mean they could TRY to sue if the unicorn looked too MLP-esque.
π: 0 β©: 0
Launched another all-out barrage, hopefully the people of Cartoon Network and Hasbro would be willing to lend a hand with it. Still, are you sure you can't make even a tiny extension? Some crowdfunds can go up to 3 months, and so far, we seem to get only 3% a day. Also, very peculiar unicorn this one is. I do hope you'll have more NPCs in this as well as a stream tomorrow afternoonΒ to keep things moving along (as I now have a facebook account to go into said stream and ask you all sorts of strong questions about the setting, npcs and so on).
π: 0 β©: 1
Or I might lose said account due to all the advertising I did speaking about Them's Fighting Herds on Facebook. Eh, live and learn, never did like that social media stuff.

YAY! I contributed $15

This is my favorite one so far. "Fred" is awesome

this is getting exciting just Β looking to this.Β

Wait... is the book called the Book of Undying Misery or theΒ Unicornomicon... or both?
