SirShadowdeath Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 You make me want to try and play chess with nothing but knights for some reason...Lol Pinkie Pie follows no set rules.Jump to king, move 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Krackle Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Nah. The issue with chess sets based on established characters is needing precisely 12 pieces a side without pallet swaps.So... considering MLP as we know it, let's try this:White King: CelestiaBlack King: LunaWhite Queen: TwilightBlack Queen: TrixieWhite Bishop: Rainbow DashBlack Bishop: GildaAnd so on and so forth in that fashion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 That's very thoughtful of you, Kirby. Now that we have chess established, I bet a Equestria Monopoly isn't too far off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheColtofPersonality Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I dunno with Pinkie being involved chess might not be the ideal game to use her in, perhaps a pony version of this will be better (especially concerning the ice field) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheColtofPersonality Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Pinkie pie is the queen because they both can move just about everywhereActually Pinkie is like the Rook in Xiangqi (Chinese chess), trust me if you know how to play your rook in Xiangqi it is much like Pinkie Pie doing whatever the heck it wants.

Starfox64x Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I dont particularly like the mane 6 vs background 6, i prefer the idea of Celestia VS Luna... or maybe Discord... Celestia, Luna, mane 6, and random soldiers as pawnsDiscord, nightmare moon, gilda, trixie, Flim, flam... and other random creatures =P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfox64x Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 You do bring up a good point dear sir.*strokes my fancy 'stache* I usually doBut yeah, i think that would be best to have protagonists vs antagonist rather than splitting the main six or Celestia and Luna, more fun that way... Although... What if the pieces could have their tops removed? have the bottoms represent the actual chess pieces (king queen pawn, etc) and have the top switchable so you could make up your OWN chess pieces... Have Rainbow Dash be king, Fluttershy be queen, or whatever you want =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronynumber299 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hmmmm I might be able to do it with some plans although I can't even draw ponies.Oh and your idea with the changeable characters would be tooo confusing for the players.Because remember whenever you're making something you have to assume the consumers are idiots.

accountdeleted Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Discord vs Equestria. Awesome.What you could do (in theory at least) would be to get thick dowl (depending upon the size of the squares) and cut it so the hight showed what the peices were. Thin, checker like discs for pawns, thicker ones for knights, ect. Then you could put a small magnet (to stop the picture from sliding off) and use another section of dowl with a pic of the pony on top. So you have the actual playing piece, as well as a disc with the pony on top.If you do make this, Pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like the checker piece sort things.But these are my ideas for the pieces:Discord sideKing DiscordQueen Nightmare MoonBishop GildaKnight Manticore?Or shadow boltsRook Tom? Maybe diamond dog leaderPawn Diamond dog guards no questionCelestia Side"King" CelestiaQueen lunaBishop Twilight and RarityKnight Pinkie and ApplejackRook Rainbow Dash and FluttershyPawn Celestia's Royal GaurdsThere is still alot of planning but I can't do immediate action because I'm sick but you could help by finding pictures and helping with the discord side.
