Soooooo been there. Loove the comic. Do you plan on going further after the two-parter?
He'd better. If he doesn't do Dragonshy then I am going to hunt him down and make French Fries of him!
Fries are potato. What's our dear artist's screen name? :P
...quick come up with the idea that your character is shy so you don't have to say a lot!
That's cheating. And shame on the DM for putting the Watcher on the spot.
you know, since she is new, the DM may not be aware that she is "the Watcher" yet.
I used to be like that... Still am if the games over the internet with mics TT-TT
Funny, I'm the same. In a local game I'll happily play the face of the group, hamming up my part and having fun. But as soon as I'm put into a chat with strangers, I clam up and start second-guessing everything I do.
Personaly im quiet unless I have something to say, although shy like fluttershy(my fav of the mane 6) I never let my shyness get in the way of things.
Also if you don't make comics to atleast Dragonshy im simply going to have to love and tolerate you like a bomb.

You to, eh?
Aaaanyways, not sure what a 'watcher' is in gaming terms. But Fluttershy's player reminds me of me in some ways here, still pretty new to roleplaying of this genre and while I love roleplaying and invest as much as I can in the game, if you aked me to make a character on my own? I'd be cowering under the bed.

The watcher title is a quip that you attach to a specific play style such as power gamer or role-player. Watcher means that they're, more or less, along for the ride.
Flu? Sounds like a good pony to have on a quest. I take it you work with poisons?
Aw man, Dash is gonna bite her head off for taking a rabbit as her animal companion instead of something combat-oriented.
Well, actually, pegasus is NOT angel. It's a horse with wings on its spine(which, actually, are additional pair of limbs). So,... pegasus is beast, in some way... Especially CHAOTIC EVIL BARBARIAN Pegasus with "RAGE" PERK ACTIVATED!
He means "Angel", Fluttershy's rabbit. He's quite the handful at times :D
What we need is an 'off screen' pwning by Angel to the point that even RD is in awe.
"Your animal companion...is a RABBIT?"
"That's no ordinary rabbit! It can leap about...It has teeth like...look at the bones!"
"That's no ordinary rabbit! It can leap about...It has teeth like...look at the bones!"
Angel does plenty of on-screen pwning in the actual series.
4e druids don't get animal companions though. Unless they changed that back in Essentials?
They do (potentially) get lots of summoned critters at least.

Druids haven't received an Essentials build yet. Beast Mastery Rangers can gain a companion, though, so Wiona will at least be canon and legal. Though with her Nature score, Fluttershy could just as easily passed a Handle Cute Rabbits check in character building.
I do find it slightly humorous, though, that our resident "Watcher" has taken a class that I call one of the quintessential "Roleplaying" classes of 4e. Wizards and Druids have enough "tricks," through Cantrips, Rituals, and access to ridiculous Diplomacy checks (crit 20 Diplomacy vs Dragon Fluttershy?), to allow for creative roleplaying opportunities. Though I have another random thought now...
Can Fluttershy use Wild Shape to turn into a Tree? Or an Ent at least?

And as far as I know, Wild Shape in 4e doesn't allow you to turn into plants. However, you can rp your transformation as anything beastial (quote from Wild Shape: "Your beast form might also be an indistinct shape of shadowy fur and claws, an incarnation of the Primal Beast of which all earthly beasts are fractured images.") So, theoretically, you could be Ent-like (by becoming a hazy shape of twisting vines).
Please do Dragonshy. I want to see Fluttershy beat that dragon in the D&D universe.
* The Actor, who has fun by developing and acting out a fictional character.
* The Explorer, who has fun by immersing in a large and detailed fictional world.
* The Instigator, who has fun by making something happen, regardless of if it would be logical or in-character.
* The Power Gamer, who has fun by Min-Maxing a powerful character.
* The Slayer, who has fun by killing things in combat encounters.
* The Storyteller, who has fun when the game sessions tell a continuous and engaging story.
* The Thinker, who has fun by solving challenges through strategy and planning.
* The Watcher, who doesn't care so much about the game itself but about having fun hanging out with his/her friends.
I identify most with The Explorer archetype. Unfortunately, I am also one of those people who needs to know all the rules and ins-and-outs of the world in order to play it. So I do get rules-lawyery from time to time. Though that might be because I like to DM and weave things in from others' stories so I need to know how it all works.
haha, I'm definitely the instigator type
one time I was the evil kobold warlock in the group and vaporized a peasant, a couple hours later, the town is flooded several feet by the druid so that we can escape the town guard

Thinker, Actor, Storyteller, Explorer, in pretty much that order.
I am an instigator, watcher, power gamer, and actor. In that order. I love to minmax a bizarre character for something nonessential, like cooking, and then have him turn out to be hilariously powerful in combat, due to the wording of of his skills and feats.
I am evil incarnate when it comes to character creation.

I'm a mix of Actor, Storyteller, and Thinker. I love getting into the story, especially when it is complex, and I LOVE coming up with crazy puzzle solutions. *nostalgic sigh* I can't count the number of times I made my DMs twitch and foam when I found inventive solutions to crazy complex puzzles in moments when the puzzles were supposed to take hours to properly solve. Usually when the puzzle was to give the DM time to retcon the big bad's escape after I'd broken their empowering ritual in similar fashion. *nostalgic sigh* good times...I can still remember them pulling out their hair...
Power gamer, thinker, slayer.
And all lawful good.
I'm really not a role-player.

Pardon if it's been asked before, but what time zone is this comic posted in?
I'm EST, so I get a tinge of the WTF's when I see this comic isn't up at the 6:00 am it says it is.

Nevermind, I figured it out by the comment post time :) This comic rocks faces and it makes me really wanna try table topping! I wish I could give it a shot! Keep it coming!
Let's see... I live in Bratsk, so my time zone is... hmmm... roughly GMT+8. The time is 19:07, so GMT is 11:07. All I need is to know time of the site and...
Poor Fluttershy's player (whom I'm going to call Andrea until we know the players' actual names). I hope the others can help her get into the flow of the game - I don't see Twilight's player being especially helpful. Rarity and Applejack, now, they seem to be on the ball when it comes to roleplaying.
If nothing else, Andrea does appear to have a firm grasp on the difference between IC knowledge and OOC knowledge. This is a good sign, even if she is (I speculate) not very organized.
Then it's in Spud's interest to keep going, right? He doesn't want to make me angry at him or you angry at me.
Hear that, spud? Through Dragonshy at the very least! :D
