I don't think this thread needs any more explanation.
Where is their legal representation anyway? Out crafting a BS-SL (you can either read that as Bella Sara System License, or the other way)?
This. Will. Not. End. Well.
Damn... those are some sweet lookin' ponies! Gonna have to say that Bella Sara is definitely winning at this point.
Except... they don't have an actual game to play with the minis. You just collect them right? It's kinda begging for combat rules to be drawn up.
Also... I want to find the person who's responsible for the blurbs beneath each of the minis. I'm starting to think there's some dark sinister message hidden in all those cheerful blurbs.

If you're talking solely about the quality and paint jobs of the minis, keep in mind that D&D minis usually look good in the poster art too. Then you open a box and your dwarf's axe is bent down to his toes and he's growing an eye out of his left cheek. Somebody is going to have to make a sacrifice and actually buy a pack of these to see if they match up to the designs shown on the webpage.
Ooo! Please let it be me! Uhm..er, I mean, these ponies are lame. Yeah, glue-factory lame. That's the ticket.
As far as the happy blurbs go, I just want some of whatever that terrier is having.

Um, helloooooooo! 4e.

Pony Warlock?
By the infernal powers of the Abyss, I curse thee!
Nnnnew...nnnnew.
Ummm...
...this bodes for badness.
They are from an apostate branch of the Church.
Ah the young. They know not from whence the church was born.

Didn't something like that already exist? It's called My Little Pony. Where's Sebastian? I want to file a trademark infringement claim.
I think he wandered off after the edition wars died down. Not enough hot heads to insult.
It would behoof you to take that statement back.
Quit horsing around.
Don't saddle me with that accusation. CJ is the one who needs to be reigned in.
PLEASE!!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!
You know.. eventually a certain lawyer is going to show up.. is that something you really want?
Get off your high horse, David. You have been chomping at the bit to silence me some time with your dog and pony show. I am not quite ready to be put out to pasture.
whoa! whoa! whoa!! lets all relax get a pony keg and party...this post is turning into a nitemare.....nyuk nyuk nyuk!!
You know there's something to be said for the benefit of species diversity. The Bella Sara ponies just seem like a multitude of different versions of the same thing. Kinda like goblins, bugbears, hobgoblins, etc...
You might say the Bella Sara minis bring new meaning to the term "pony play."
...if you were some kind of pervert, which I am clearly not.

Too late, it's like locking the barn door after the horse is gone!

You do not have permission to use D&D in this thread. All of your inventory must be destroyed.
NOW!
Sorry, but our God has NOTHING to do with D&D minis. They are from an apostate branch of the Church.
Sheesh, they'll let anyone be an apostle these days...
REPENT, BLASPHEMER!
Know ye not that our game came about because the Great Gygax liked playing with little plastic toys on maps!

Those were pristine pieces of lead and/or pewter, crafted by specially selected gnomes from the clans Ral Partha and Grenadier, not cheap plastic baubles made by syphilitic, color blind kobolds on crack (referring to D&D minis, specifically).
I am, of course, aware of the Great Gygax's affinity for kriegspiel endeavors, but those games are not represented in this fight!
Goes back and forth upon the earth, seeking whom he might SMITE.
You can smite me again if it will make you feel better. It kind of tickles.

Well you're not getting that horse back in the barn, so you should just give up. Besides, you're not telling the foal story. I here you brought a whole stable of Hero players over here to drown out us purists.

Funny, I always though lawyers were Lawful Evil. Unless of course he's a defense attorney. ;-)

If only...
I thought Dave Arneson did all the work and Gygax took the credit.
You know I'll take this as far off thread as you let me...but seeing the nature of the OP/title, I can't feel that bad about it...
I really do wonder if (doubt that) we've heard the full story here, as much as I love. E.G.G. He was not only a bear, he also seems to have been pretty mercurial. Wolfgang Baur raised the possibility of interviewing Arneson for KQ, and my secret deepest wish is that he could get Arneson to really reflect on the the contributions to the game that they both made: what were their differences, distinctions, and so forth, without getting back into all the old issues in a less than helpful way. If D.A. was to that point, it would be priceless to set that alongside the Gygaxian side of the story, which was told many times, with verve and perhaps not a fully realized critical introspection.

I should have put a little ;-) at the end of my statement...
I knew it was there...you see how I shamelessly seize on any pretext to hold forth! It wouldn't have stopped me if it had been there :D
