Usually when the GM starts to smile, there's a good chance someone is about to die or something really bad is about to happen. Especially involving evil amulets and cthulhuian horrors.
Though as a GM I also tend to smile 'when I get to use all these toys'...or when I think the group really likes my game.

To celebrate, here's a unique poll.
About what page was up when you first came here.
Me:page 49, Rocks fall.
Wow, I was here longer than I remember.

It's been a fun ride, here's to another 1000 pages.

... good memories.
Its been so long, I can't remember the exact first page, but I know it had to be within the first dozen. Probably even in the single digits.
464 was the first time I commented on a page (as far as I can remember. I might have said something before that point). I remember nearly having a panic attack since it was also the first time I tried doing a story time and I felt like I was being an idiot for doing so.
Never would have thought that I'd still be here with all of you commenting about colorful ponies playing D&D. Here's to another 1000 pages indeed.
What? Who remembers thing like that? I jumped to page 1 right away and started to read from the beginning, like a normal human being.
It's not that strange. I remember what page of Something Positive was the newest when I started reading it.
My 'first page' for this comic? Taste the Rainbow.

I sometimes remember this kind of thing, often even write it down, but... not this time :(
This is why I always distrust online dice rollers and prefer physical dice. Buuuut can't easily use that on pbp.
This is one of the reasons that when we played Fate we used the Deck of Fate and a three-card hand, so there was an element of strategy in determining what actions we could allow to fail (since we couldn't draw more cards until the hand was empty). Everyone who played said that they greatly preferred it to total randomness.
Unfortunately, we don't play Fate very much because our group is bad at any system that uses any sort of 'be awesome points' - possibly a holdover from Deadlands in which your awesomeness points are also your XP.

The Deck sounds like an interesting idea, although it might make some players not willing to try actions if they're holding a bad hand?
You could expand it to Saving Throws or whatever the game uses, which would force players to attempt things like that.
The thing about Fate is that everything is opposed rolls with a spread between -4 and 4, so there's always a chance that a low result can beat an even lower one. In our experience, people with really low cards would sink them into spectacular failures that enlivened the scene but was unlikely to seriously harm the group's chances - there are plenty of opportunities for bad stuff to happen in Fate without the random number generator.
You need physical dice for your online games? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n8LNxGbZbs
And to think, it's after all this time that she's in a decent scrap, and now she's doing poorly.
Congratulations, Newbiespud!
I know a lot of Campaign Comics that went on infinite hiatus before reaching 1000 pages mark, so I feel save to say: You are doing a magnificent thing here!

Congratulations on reaching the 1,000th comic milestone, newbiespud!
Heh heh. I like how you used the Twilight Gatling Gun to represent Pinkie's boost. Obvious in retrospect, but I did not see it coming. :P
You magnificent bastard, thank you for the early Christmas gift.
Congrats once again! I haven't watched any MLP since season 2 and this is the only pone media I still consume. Keep up the good work!
Oooh, something new for story time! I was wondering if something would show up on the 1000th...
Anyway, I'd been absent for a couple weeks, came back today to find the 1000th. Quite a welcome surprise!

In light of this personally mind-blowing occasion, the precious fourth digit, I've prepared a few remarks.
