Flan is delicious! I can never get tired of that dessert. I think that's something everyone one of my characters have in common; they like flan. Doesn't quite translate well to setting where it might not exist, but I don't worry about little details like that. ^^;
When I played The Great and Powerful Trixie, the other players would use baked goods to get Trixie to help out. She had a sweet tooth, and food tasted a bit different in human Earth than in pony Equestria. I think one of Trixie's favorite human dishes was Tiramisu. Coffee and cake in one? Yes please!
Speaking of, how many of you who play in pony games, have had baked weaponry come up in your campaigns? At one point when we were about to go seeking changelings, my party was given stun pies to protect ourselves with.
Well, my pony campaign is set in a campaign setting for Equestria rather than Equestria itself, and it's about as bloody as our typical settings - Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, etc. - as a consequence.
I fully expect baked goods (or bads) to be weaponized in a moment of desperation eventually, though.
In the very first session of a DnD 3.5 game, we were watching some soldiers trying to burn down a village due to its proximity to a "cursed" forest. One of the villagers took offense to this, and attacked the armed soldiers with the only thing he had on hand- a stale baggette, ending up with a critical hit that flattened the imperial soldier. So impressed with this turn of events, the party dubbed this average villager " The Breadman", and he showed up a couple of times later on in the campaign.
I think describing Flan to a world that doesn't have Flan would be easy enough to do.
I spent a few hours last night trying to describe a Memory Orb glitching out using terms that made sense more for an Elder Scrolls/Equestrian Founding setting, so I had to get kinda layman's purple prose with it, which was... a bit annoying, or confusing.
I've written snippets of fanfiction based on past RPs. I've recently started to put together a full length story based on the Fallout Equestria campaign I'm a part of. It'll take place in a different location, but it has many of the same characters.
Only accidentally. I was GM and the players in a ponyfinder game found a giant library mid-dungeon... I accidentally said that yes there was a Daring Do-like set of books.
Gentlepony Adventurer was the next three sessions after that. I am apparently pretty good at writing stories on the spot. The party almost entirely ignored the plot-important book on a pedestal and the BBEG who was breaking out of prison to read those books... And it was an involved process, involving one of the party members learning the ancient language, scribing a copy in Equine, and other members huddling around the translations and passing them along when done.
Before continuing the adventure, the party brought back the entire library to their homes...via combination of dimension door and ant haul.
Write something about a campaign I'm in? Yeah, I've done it a couple of times. Heck, I've done it even before the campaign even starts. I find it better to just tell a quick story when I'm trying to join a PbP or answer a question about how my character would react to something. I don't consider my writing to be any good but there are some examples for you guys if you're bored enough.
Anyway, I guess storytime here and working on my FOE story reminded me that I actually liked telling stories like this when I get the opportunity. I'm already inside my characters heads anyway, might as well do something productive while I'm there.
Yup, sort of. While I haven't written any fanfic, I have made up a bunch of elaborate crossover scenarios in my head. Lots of them involve, at the very least, a meeting between the parties of all the PTU games I play. And shipping. There's also shipping.
By coincidence, the first Dark Heresy game I played was run by a guy who traditionally storytimes his games on /tg/. I'm now playing in his Deathwatch campaign and running a Dark Heresy campaign inspired by the All Guardsmen Party and a D&D 5e game inspired bya greentext fanfic on /mlp/, both of which are being written up for storytiming by players.
It's not fanfic so much as writeups of what's happened, but I've grown accustomed to it, and some people have a good time reading it. Heck, Record of Lodoss War was originally a record of a D&D campaign, and it got made into an anime!
Nope, and the GM has just crossed another line by not reminding Pinkie's player of this. I look forward to Applejack's player's reaction when she finally returns.
I have indeed done what Pinkie is referring to. the Earthdawn RPG actually had rewards for doing this in character. If you keep a written journal of your adventures, the Library of Parlainth will pay silver for the journal as well as for updates. There were times in the campaign where our characters could only afford to eat because I, and my character, kept a written account of our adventures.
It used to drive my GM nuts because, my character didn't see himself as the hero of the story, but as one of the sidekicks to one of the other PCs. He wanted me to have my character be the hero of the story, as it was supposed to be from his point of view. But my character was a Troubadour (think a D&D bard on steroids) and he was concerned with telling the truth, not a story.
Too bad the bard in the last D&D party I was with spent all his time getting drunk and hitting on women. And I mean drunk... like, my pony familiar was keeping better maps than the bard was.
Speaking from experience, writing stories about rolepaying games you did is fun.
Not D20, but me and a few others are doing some IRC RPs for Steven Universe, and I've been writing some stories based on that. It really is a lot of fun.
I find it kind of funny (and surprisingly practical) in what Pinkie asked Applejack, about wanting to know about a tory she came up with from the journey the group has had together. I actually read this a few hours before a game of ours started, and got the idea to come up with a story just for the soul purpose of writing a story (which is something my character would be doing in his off time).
I ended up telling that story in the game because we were captured by a tribe of primitives who wanted us dead (because they are technophobes, and we have a wannabe DJ in the group), unless we could convince them that we got to their land (via "we did not use technology, but magic), and with extreme detail.
I won't get into details (as it could come in at a better time as a story), but I do want to thank Pinkie's wise words for keeping this campaign alive (literally).

Pass the sour cream pound cake.

The funny part was I didn't know she was under mind-control.

I've got some fanfic out there based on the characters for one of my 7th Sea campaigns.
My players enjoy 'em.

And yes potatoes have roots I looked it up just for this pun.
