Too bad he fails at opposed Feel checks.

What a bunch of co— *shot*

To further elaborate, RD started it. She flew into them by accident, but wasn't so tactful about it, just like her first contact with Twilight. And said crew mate is quite grouchy and quick to fight himself so, yeah.

@Kyler: A gimped build? That'd be a really crappy one.

Discord has a minmaxed build, and figures that if he wasn't SUPPOSED to, then it wouldn't be possible.

RE: Fluttershy just responding that the crewman shouldn't have hurt her friends, I think it'd be a bit unreasonable of her to ignore that this is in theory a fight with RD. 1, Even if the crewman had the upper hand RD still would have gotten some good licks in, and 2, RD probably started that fight, all things considered. I mean, this isn't a dragon we're talking about. Her just brushing off the complaints honestly feels a bit callous to me.

as the man himself says, it seems.

Brushie :3

On a side note, RD's introduction in the pilot was really just perfect. WHAM! "Uh, excuse me?"

@Apple Something random I've noticed, but you seem to be basing most of your random plot ideas around running into one of the mane 6. Why would pirates be hanging around Ponyville longer than what's necessary to fly over it? Seems to me like you'd want to focus on adventure in the unknown rather than interactions with canon characters in a (relatively) boring location.

@ Lurker

These are only hypothetical situations to help me build the characters by seeing how they would react in such a situation. I've a whole lot of stuff drawing inspiration from the 40k, Star Trek/Wars and doctor who universes planned.

If you gotta bend minds, better make sure no one can return the favor.

Discord minmaxs not for power, but to be silly. He stacked 8 different templates on his race just because he can.

@ Lurker Ponyville? Boring? The townsponies WISH they had a boring town.

Maybe their base/stash is in the Everfree? So they pass over the town a lot enroute to other places?

Why do I suddenly have the image of villains taking "Penalty: Cannot Understand Love" and balancing it out with huge stat boosts.

The plan was, they wouldn't get to Ponyville until late in the story, after earning a lot of creed themselves.

Discord is less in it for playing the game, and more for seeing how the GM and the other players react.

So player!Discord is pretty much character!Discord in terms of personality?

Hey do you mind if I swap out the Celestial part on these Celestial bison with this Half Ballerina template I found?

"I cast Englarge Creature on the bunnies nearby"

"Why?"

"I don't understand the question."

@Kyler: Pretty much. I honestly imagine most of the cast would be pretty crap at roleplaying, except for probably Rarity, and MAYBE Twilight.

@Seraph I said relatively boring. Despite the craziness, Ponyville is still Equestria's equivalent of a quiet rural town, and when the main characters are supposed to be globetrotting pirates in a flying ship, it wouldn't make any sense for them to give the town a second thought.

Rarity would be good at roleplaying, Twilight would be better at the actual game.

Pinkie would be the kind who casts Magic Missile at the darkness.

Yeah, Ponyville isn't boring. Doesn't mean it's at all suited for being a recurring location in an adventure series, but compared to most places it doesn't seem all that dull.

@ Lurker

You do have a point of course. They'll only be briefing stopping off in Ponyville for whatever reason. Call it an arc I guess.

I've now lost track of what we're supposed to be talking about.

Steaks. On a sprain.

@Syd:

....I'll take that as a "You didn't miss much".

Ace: Hehehe, Dashie is not sure if want.
