Squidward: Patrick, just how dumb are you?

Patrick: It varies.

I LMAO of that exchange.

Everything's been done. Everything has a meaning. However your life at best is to serve as a building block for others.

@Enlong: Not starting, stating. As in, setting up stats for antagonist characters and creating appropriate encounters for the party's skill level. She's bad enough with math that unless somebody else made the encounters for her, they wouldn't be balanced. Of course, that's only assuming a stat-heavy system, but if Twilight is the one who starts off...

Eh, I don't think Spike would be the best option. I could see him having the same problems as Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, probably not to the same degree, but combined together could be problematic. Not to mention I can easily see him leading the whole group with his unstoppable personal NPC (who is totally not the son of Bahamut or anything ridiculous like that).

Wow I seem to show up late for all the conversations.

See? Now that is the best option.

You know who should DM a game?

Celestia.

Can you tell me who you are? Can you tell me where I am?

I've forgotten how to see. I've forgotten if I can.

I think it would be easier to get the plot started, and it would be easier to switch between them and switch genres. Like Rainbow Dash would put the whole thing in space or something.

Pinkie would continue it with three scenes in wildly different genres, none of which respect continuity in the slightest.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

Luna has the right sort of stage presence for a DM, though.

@JT Oh! See, I thought you had typo'd "starting", because when I read "stating", I thought you were using a form of the word "state". I usually say "statting", with two "t"s, so you cans ee where I slipped up.

Agreed, Celestia is best GM.

This is a subject I'd probably be having a lot more fun talking about if I wasn't just tabbing over in between Starcraft games.

Now we need to match up the mane 6 to Darths & Droids characters. I guess Pete is RD.

#221609 Japanese Teeth Mon, 11th Jun '12 9:28:53 PM from Meinong's jungle

Well yeah, all DM's have issues. It's just a question of which ones would be most balanced. Celestia and Luna would obviously be awesome because they totally play those games all the time.

There's actually an ongoing comic that's basically DM of the Rings with Equestria as the setting, rather than Middle Earth.

I haven't been very impressed by Friendship Is Dragons so far though. Anyway, I brought it up because D&D actually has a very good DM.

#221612 Japanese Teeth Mon, 11th Jun '12 9:33:09 PM from Meinong's jungle

Isn't Pete too much of a munchkin to be RD? RD would be a barbarian "put all points into attack" player. Although I might just be mixing them up. Haven't read Darths & Droids in forever.

Celestia and Luna co-D Ming a game?

Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.

#221614 Kyler Thatch Mon, 11th Jun '12 9:37:04 PM from the corner of your eye

I kind of imagine Rarity playing a Swordsage, for some reason.

Can you tell me who you are? Can you tell me where I am?

I've forgotten how to see. I've forgotten if I can.

Well Pete is also a bit of a jerk, and likes stuff that's cool and awesome. But it's true that the fits aren't exact. Any time you try to match up characters from different works, there is some amount of mismatch in the possible traits. Sally would definitely be Pinkie though.

Thankfully, I don't think anyone here is into vore.

yeah, I'm sure you're right...who would ever be into that kinda stuff? I'm sure not!

Oh, were we talking about Tabletop Roleplaying earlier?

Can I be the DM? Huh, can I?

Surprise I still haven't heard what bet you made with Rainbow Dash was!

Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.

#221622 Enlong Mon, 11th Jun '12 10:00:30 PM from The Magitek Holyland

So, in sum, I still like the idea of that kind of episode, but I don't know if it could be done well in the span of one episode.

#221623 Surprise Mon, 11th Jun '12 10:02:49 PM from Ponyville

Oh, my bet with Rainbow Dash? She bet I had a cast-iron stomach and could keep anything down, I said I'd find something I couldn't eat. In the end, I couldn't keep down either of the humans I ate, so I won the bet.

Seriously, you humans taste disgusting. I'm glad I'm a vegetarian.

And if we're gonna role-play, keep in mind I can only post once every ten minutes.
