Twilight Sparkle: That brings up a good point, though. If the Breezies migrate all across Equestria for this pollen... Will they be willing to just give it if we ask? Will we have to trade for it? How much do we need, anyway?
DM: You're right in that the pollen is a vital resource for their home. But the thing is, you only need a few grains. They're very potent and dilutable. Add them to a big enough mixture, and you can treat a few dozen ponies.
Rarity: <ahem> So, in short, it won't be too much trouble?
DM: The Breezies aren't known for being stingy. It'll probably be alright.
Applejack: Watch as we get the one Breezie that's a real tough customer.
Pinkie Pie: "You won't get any of MY pollen!" Then BAM! They go into a Super Saiyan rage and kick our butts!
DM: Riiiight, because Dragon Ball Z and my pony campaign are prime crossover material...
I say 'Attempt' because I think it probably be best left to a one-shot gag adventure to spare the sanity of whoever DMs that awesome train wreak.
On another note, tell a story of something from some work of culture blatantly appearing in the campaign.
If there was any two shows that is further apart, I can't think of any.
One is 99% fighting, the other is 0.1% fighting.
Hmmm, crossover might be easier than we thought. 5 minutes of light show, 3 episodes of talking about it.
Hmmmm...
How about Mlp and Deadliest Warrior?
I already told the story of Trixie going to Earth and seeing that MLP was a show there, I mentioned the Shadowrun campaign where the team went on a run modeled after the game Clue, I did run my old D&D group through Dante's Inferno from an old campaign years ago...
The X-Files style campaign I was in almost went on a mission to deal with Satan and his amazing flying canoe. That would of been interesting.
Then there was an Exalted campaign, where a pair of recently-empowered masters of a city (specifically, a Solar and a Lunar) wished to clean it up and make it shine so as to echo the glory of their patron Sun and Moon. Given the level of grim and grit, none of the other player nor the ST expected a cheerful work song.
And yes I just looked that up. How many you ask?
It's over 90!!!!!!

What I meant to say was "How about now" not "How about no way".
In the game I'm in right now none of the other players- not even the other WOW player- noticed that I had done a wholesale character reference to one of the major NPCs down to the armor design off WOW for my character
She's the daughter of a character's mount from the previous game, and selected by the various "intelligent animal" races across the continent to become the leader of them all. They're tired of being lumped into a humanocentric label, and they want to become a nation unto themselves, and recognized as such by the humanoid races. So naturally the reigning Empress of Calandia has tasked the PC's with helping the newly-chosen Princess Luna with finding a land for their people.
Currently they're talking about raising a Lost Continent, and bankrolling the elven nation to terraform it.
Honestly, I thought the joke was Twilight's fight with Tirek. XD
If you want something closer to canon though, try FiM's season 4 finale. It's egregiously like DBZ.
Though...I wonder, what will NS do once the party gets to level 20? Or will level-ups just get arbitrarily longer to accommodate the length of the show (assuming FiD will keep going at least as long as there are new FiM seasons to sustain the fanbase).
"It Ain't Easy Being Breezies."
I love that moment of realization in people, when they realize there are only so many voice actors in the world. For me, it came around 2003, when I realized that I was hearing the same actors when I played Baldur's Gate II as when I watched Toon Disney every day.
It happened again when I started watching MLP and wondered why Tara Strong was the only actor in the series I'd ever heard of, and then I recognized Lee Tockar and Kathleen Barr's voices from the Barbie movieverse, and then I realized, yup, same ENTIRE cast. Not sure when I realized that the newly-discovered cast were Canadian. I think until then I'd just assumed it was some lower tier of the voice acting world, but nope... not a lower tier at all. They had, after all, done DBZ. Big names in anime, as it turns out. It's very gratifying to learn these things. To me, anyway.
Listen to an episode of Strawberry Shortcake Itty Bitty Adventures with your eyes closed. Half the time you'll swear you're listening to a My Little Pony episode because of the shared cast. :D
The only reason I own lolipop chainsaw is because of Tara Strong
The ponies just help them go from 'we lose most of our group on the way, but with the pollen we did manage to get home, some of us might manage not to starve' and never being certain if they'd make it through another year, to 'we had a few close calls, but with the help of the ponies we all made it home alright'
Nature can be pretty harsh sometimes - hence why you 'need' medicine, doctors, and so on even though humans got along fine without them for a long time; Everytime a mother died in childbirth, or some kid got the pox, there were more humans around to replace them, and the race as a whole kept going.
So, yeah, the Breezies function fine without help, it's just they'd prefer a lower death-count when they go out to get pollen.
But really, Pony Ball Z, Friendship is Battle, could be strange.
