SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED! Based on the popular online game Neopets comes a new and official full-color graphic novel. A rare form of magic has turned everyone in Neopia into toys, and it’s up to TDMBGPOP and his friends to restore it. This graphic novel is full of humor, heart, and plushie pandemonium.

Somebody has left their Blue Grundo Plushie here. What a poor unwanted little guy, maybe you should talk to him... no, he's just a toy, he won't answer you. Don't be silly!

No one knows where The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity (TDMBGPOP) came from. He was spotted one day sitting on a Faerieland cloud. At first, Neopets believed he was just forgotten and whoever left him there would return for him soon. But many moons passed, and no one came.

When Faerieland fell from the sky, TDMBGPOP toppled down with it. He descended until his stitches were snagged by a tree branch, and he took up post in a nearby tree.

These days, Neopians from all over visit TDMBGPOP in his tree. Rumor has it that if you talk to the poor guy, you’ll get a rare item or Neopoints. Perhaps it was good luck or . . . ?

No one knows.

Not even TDMBGPOP.

Until one day, when TDMBGPOP discovers that he can move. Not only that—he can talk and walk and cartwheel!

But there’s something amiss in Neopia. All of the Neopets have turned into toys—and even Queen Fyora is looking quite playful, if you know what we mean.

This beautifully illustrated original graphic novel tackles some of life’s hardest questions—like the meaning of family, “good” vs. “evil,” and what it means to be real. This graphic novel also includes a universal code for a new one-time-use item in the back, which can be redeemed on the Neopets website.

Backmatter in the back of the comic, written by disability activist and content creator Sabrina Hutchings, touches on the importance of equity for people (and Faeries!) with disabilities, like Seshatia the Library Faerie, who is an ambulatory wheelchair user.

Neopets Battledome TCG - Banned and Limited Announcement

Posted on October 11th, 2024 @ 11:00am by Joe.

Today, Upper Deck shared some previews of the upcoming 25th Anniversary Expansion of the Neopets Battledome TCG as well as made their first announcement related to Banned/Limited Cards.

Effective November 1st, 2024, Naia will be banned from Organized Play.

The development team has decided to ban Naia for a handful of reasons. The most glaring problem that has become evident over the first couple months of the game is the overwhelming value that Naia brings an opportunity cost of zero. Additionally, we have received sufficient player feedback about the negative gameplay experience due to the non-engaging nature of Naia. It is not uncommon for games to be decided by a turn 1 Naia into Rainbow Paint Brush. For these reasons, Naia is banned (effective November 1, 2024).

Why now? Originally, the development team wanted to wait until the next expansion to make a ban announcement. However, due to her performance in both competitive and casual settings, we felt that moving this ban announcement up was the best option for the health of the current metagame and overall enjoyment of players.

As for the limited list, there are a few cards on our radar but nothing we feel needs addressed at the moment. As the card pool grows, so does the potential for powerful interactions with preexisting cards and we are always considering this during the development process. In the meantime, we will continue to keep an eye on the metagame, player sentiment, and tournament results to help inform future banned and limited decisions.

The Upper Deck team will continue to monitor game play and will make their next Banned/Limited update in early 2025.
