Then you come across a fridge in the wasteland with a fedora...
What? How could you not choos the best perk in the whole New Vegas?
Fallout: New Vegas goes down great by itself; there's no need to make that into a cocktail. I didn't even use mods other than an unofficial patch.
I can always take the trait in my second run through when I do hardcore. My current character uses energy weapons and wild wasteland takes away one of the better vanilla energy guns.
But it does give you several holy hand grenades. Just remember to count to three. Not four, nor two, except preceding directly to three. Five is right out.
I just want to say, Digo, your guest comics are both quite lovely to look at art-wise and very entertaining to read. Please, keep up the weirdness in the wastelands!
Did you mean the fridge has a fedora or the wasteland has a fedora?
Who here has read My Little Dashie?
Nice concept. Now who here wants to raise their own little pony?
It doesn't have to be the main 6.
Me, Applebloom.

I've seen it listed, but I tend to avoid humans-in-Equestria or ponies-on-Earth stories. Though from its number of views, there are certainly many who don't.
Nice story, but the ending kind of spoils it for me.
I can enjoy both happy and sad stories, but I don't like stories that, for example, show us a thief re-make his life after leaving prison, get a proper job, get to know his family again... And then end after he's gotten addicted to drugs, killed his family in a drunk-driving accident, and returned to crime.
I can see how some people would consider MLD to have a fairly normal, possibly even 'happy', ending.
But for me, the story would have been easier to enjoy if either they just cut off the story while it's still happy, leaving it a light pony-on-earth story, or the suffering had been there in greater amounts from the start so I could stick to enjoying her suffering rather than growing attached (I do read 'Prequel', also known as 'Making a cat cry: The adventure', so I'm not unused to 'misery porn' as they call it)
I'm also going to guess that [Insert name of pony wearing hat here] doesn't realize that the fridge (if it's not completely destroyed) might not fly away, and you'd be stuck in there without food until you either open it, or starve.
Still, I give a 'Bravo!' for evading the AoE of a nuke, not an easy feat to pull.
What do you mean "no food"? There's a whole 'nother pony in there.
Donner party.
Donner party.
... that must be one of the most normal names I've ever heard.
I know parties who'd make speculations about (more precisely, who'd make suggestive but not quite rule 34 fanart of) a mare PC and a stallion PC cramming themselves into a tight space together for a few minutes. But surviving a nuke takes precedence over propriety.
I was gonna ask if she always works this hard to stuff stallions in the fridge, but I realized that could be taken several ways...
Crystal Skull. That could have done it better.
In many of those tests, they had built shelters to test various designs and materials. The scene should have ended with Indie running through a door before cutting to the countdown and blast. In the next scene, when some inspectors were looking over the wreckage, they find Indie in the shelter, eating a can of beans and demanding to know what took them so long to find him.

Yes, but then they would not have had to decontaminate him. (Fan service, that.)
I would read it for sure
Sadly I do not have the time currently to invest in a comic series. Perhaps in the future.
Like an audio play, or some such.
Alas, I suppose we shall never get to see ponies tinker with bombs outside of Digo's guest comics.
Perhaps someone will, eventually (*dramatic sigh*), create way to hack ponies into roleplaying games.
I am sure Newbie would even be an acceptable GM.
Such a shame he's far too busy with the comic and will never, say, start a youtube channel.
Oooooh count me in for that idea! I've always wanted to do a pony based campaign. And a campaign based in the fallout equestria universe is just icing on the cake! ^.^
Only eight? I guess that means no Scarmory gamg this time
Wasn't their arc closed though? You know, the Tomb of Horrors?
On the other hand, with the Smarmony Gang's creativity, they'd probably only come out lightly bruised out of this.

Apparently Alessio Cavatore, one of the designers of Warhammer, is working on an *OFFICIAL* MLP tabletop RPG.

My guess: it's related to why it's taken so long for an officially licensed one to be announced. And/or they don't do simpler systems, like this one appears to be.
"Dang it, Doc! I told you not to question it!"
Dang it, Digo, now you've got me wanting to get better at drawing so I too can start making Fallout-DnD-Pony-ish guest comics to throw at Spud!
But anyway, I like Jackie. She sounds like the kind of out-of-box thinker that I could work with. I mean, these are the kind of Hail Mary type plans that I would come up with... with mixed results, obviously. Too bad she's probably not going to survive this. Even with a +10, the DM will have to be really forgiving for this to even have a chance of being remotely successful here.
Yay, I'm inspiring! Well I hope you do try out some art. Maybe next time I'll be seeing your comics here.
...there was any question that you're inspiring?
But I concur: more guest artists! (Within NS's quality standards, of course.)

And I am trying out some art. I have been for a long time and I do occasionally try to do a one panel comic when the mood strikes me (Like showing off Astral's reaction when Pyra attempts to apologies to someone on the other side of a video camera). It's just doing something like this feels a bit... intimidating. But then I felt the same way with my previous guest comics so it's nothing I can't get over.
"Eventually I came to the realization that refrigerators, with their metal exterior and dense insulation, are a decent defense against the elements, gunfire, and explosives."
Mythbusters would beg to differ.

... I think I got the next best thing though. ... though maybe not...
Really, the Our Townians (Ourians? Townians? Towns-People? I think I like 'Towns People' as a name for them)
Anyway, the Towns People also need an episode if they're to truly have forgiven her (and in general, really, especially as one of my favorite reactors, and the one I feel most needs the encouragement, seemed quite taken with a certain Pegasus)
Also, @aerion - I liked the quartet of heroic Townsponies that saved the day in the S5 premiere. I've been wanting to see them again - or to see other heroes like them sprout up as Twilight and company traveled Equestria.
They have that in the new eps? Haven't seen them yet (isn't there a grace period in effect before you're supposed to talk about new eps on here?), but I'm glad to hear they do show the reunion in the show. Of course, it means I can't write a fic about it anymore. XP
You're still essentially 'spoiling' that it's going to be more than just momentary nervousness.
Her tail is braided like her hair is, but don't ponies have bones in their tails? At least, I assume that's braiding.
Props for having only 1 snake on the doctor's staff.

I think there's a short section at the base with bone, but I'm pretty sure most of it is just hair.
Woo, these guys again! And it looks like we have a new face! I always wanted to ask where this gang was from.
Also, figures the day I come back is the day guest comics show up... Sorry 'Spud, I would have worked on a guest comic if I could. :/

Interesting. What about Manco and Switch from the Hacking Skills 3-parter you drew?
Switchblade came about as a foil for Doc when I started drawing the comics and writing a fanfic. I wanted to make her a raider, but from a sane tribe like the Great Khans in New Vegas. Her personality inspired by Wanda Sykes. Maybe someday I'll play her as a PC. She'd be a fun character to RP.
Guest Author's Note: "Eventually I came to the realization that refrigerators, with their metal exterior and dense insulation, are a decent defense against the elements, gunfire, and explosives."
Newbiespud's Note: Starting with this, we've got a grand total of eight pages of guest comics! I was a bit more stringent about quality and theme this time around, so it's not as many as I would have liked for a sabbatical. Still, three weeks will do.
