Spike: “My dear Twilight, there is more to a young pony’s life than studying!”
Twilight Sparkle: Urrgh…
Spike: “So I’m sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year’s location... Ponyville.”
Twilight Sparkle: <sigh> Yes, yes… Here are the rails, I shall follow them.
Rarity: Don’t let it bother you, dear. As railroading goes, this wasn’t the most egregious play I’ve ever seen.
Rarity: More importantly, grumpiness has a way of spreading across a table. Best to let it go.
Twilight Sparkle: Alright, alright.
Spike: “…AND, I have an even more essential task for you to complete. Make some friends!”
Twilight Sparkle: What’s that supposed to mean?
DM: He’s merely reading what’s in the letter…
Spike: C’mon, Twilight! Princess Celestia made you the Official Overseer of the Summer Sun Celebration! Doesn’t that make you happy?
Twilight Sparkle: After learning about a doomsday prophecy nobody believes? Not particularly.
DM: The pegasus chariot comes in for a landing in what appears to be the central plaza of the small, rural town of Ponyville.
DM: You can see many ponies going about their business in the vicinity of city hall. The rest of the town seems to branch out from here, built upon the surrounding hills.
Twilight Sparkle: Finally!
DM: Oh, it wasn’t a very long flight – Canterlot basically overlooks Ponyville. Also, aren’t you forgetting to thank somepony?
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, right. Thank you, sirs.
Pegasus Guard: You’re quite welcome, Miss Sparkle.
By default, Comic Life restricts the comic page to normal US Letter size. I find that to be a perfectly acceptable creative limitation. But since we've reached the 10th comic of the series, why not remove the restrictions and stretch a little? I could do something like this every 10 comics.
More importantly, I've gotten the hang of the comic-making process. I ought to, since this comic has been running for a month now. That's why I feel like I can change the update schedule to be more frequent.
So from now on, Friendship is Dragons updates three times a week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Also, good for Twilight remembering to interact with the NPCs after only one reminder. I've had PCs walk up to the heads of their religious orders, their commanding officers, even their king, and start interrogating them without preamble. And once they got what information they wanted (or decided that the NPC in question was 'boring') they turned around and left without so much as a 'thank you.'
And of course, then they wonder why they aren't more popular...
Because, as is often the case, regular real life complications make a M/W/F schedule inconvenient. Tu/Thu already worked for me, and so I pick Saturday now that I have room to expand.
Best news I've heard all day.
I can't wait to see Pinkie "roleplay" her "introduction". ;)
No, seriously. The players are gonna say "someone" all the time and it will start some funny. Everything's suddenly a gold mine for jokes! :D *Squee*
