Gilda: Scrap the Fighter; I'll make my own party-planning Bard!
Rainbow Dash: Huh? The heck is this about?
Pinkie Pie: Cool cool!
Gilda: Whaddaya mean, "cool"?! Look, if I prove that I've basically done your job but better, you AT LEAST gotta take a few pointers on your build. Capiche?
Applejack: Woah, hey, she ain't gotta listen to–
Pinkie Pie: Okie-dokie-lokie!
Gilda: Good. Now, what's the racial block for Earth Ponies like?
DM: Uh... They're basically Humans?
Gilda: Serviceable. Race: Earth Pony... Class: Bard... Name... Pony name... Screw it, I don't care – Cheese Sandwich.
Bardic throw downs are the best kind! In our Pathfinder campaign, I've actually had a bard vs bard battle quite recently. My Halfling Negotiator against some shmuck who wanted to start some shit. Good fun!
Because I got really, really sick for about half the month, so the SpudShot got delayed, giving me a lot of anxiety... And then on Halloween, a bunch of crummy things happened to me all at once, as if to bookend the whole thing. Taken as a whole, it wasn't great.
"Let me guess. I wouldn't like her when she's angry?"
"What? No. Nothing like that. She gets a bit... shouty. Scolds people. Nothing dangerous. No, the reason you don't want to get Fluttershy angry - or hurt, for that matter - is because that makes Discord angry. You *don't* want one of the primordial forces of the universe angry at you."
Well SRP, considering it came from a Storyboard Artist/Supervising Director (Twitter Handle @TheBiggestJim) for the show, I'd say it's looking pretty official.
I can't help but feel excited to see Cheese Sandwich, both because I'm a huge Weird Al fan, and because I ran a mildly successful askblog involving Cheese (and Trixie) for about a year, so feel, like, viscerally connected to the character.
Yep, that's me. I ran that until I got burned out on MLP. Now this comic (and two tumblr askblogs run by a buddy of mine, askbutdonthug and askrosemaryandguru) is all the pony that I consume.
I gotta say, I feel famous, what with someone recognizing my blog so quickly.
Did not see this coming. And Pinkie's becoming a better manipulator. Say Spud? Are the others gonna finish their sheets before the "goof off" or is that gonna happen during or after?
Credit to Gilda for recognizing that Pinkie Pie is trying to be a party throwing pony, and not a fighting pony. However, I feel like things are not going to be fun for Rainbow Dash at all.
This is why I keep reading this comic even long after the gimmick of the premise has worn off. Your plot twists and remixes never fail to catch me off guard.
One of my favorite moments when I was DMing was after the party had to flee the dungeon. There was a brief moment of silence as they regrouped. Eventually one of the players spoke up and said "Did ... did we just get our butts kicked by a bard?!"
