Page 1096 – Ready to Rock

Welp, this update lands on the 28th of July, so you may or may not know what that means.

Seven years.

It was a silly little thing from the very start, mashing up ponies and D&D, flagrantly aping the gimmicks of older, wiser webcomics. It should’ve burnt out ages ago, and yet… here we are. This has been surprisingly fulfilling work, exploring roleplaying this way. I’ve now accomplished a lot of the ambitious things I wanted to do with Friendship is Dragons, but I’m surprised to find I’m not quite ready to throw in the towel. I feel like there’s further I can go. I don’t know how far yet, but half the fun of writing organically is not really knowing for sure. We’re sticking around for a while yet.

Anyway, got some campaign podcast to drop today, as well.

Discord GM: It’s a long process of tearing away at flimsy rock with your bare hooves, but eventually you unearth the pristine jewel. And as you do so, you hear Discord’s dulcet tones once again.

Discord: Thou hast embraced the fear of chaos with thine own hooves. From this moment forth, until the game is over… You are cursed to fervently and always covet this “diamond.“

Rarity: Well, it’s less the diamond itself and more what it can accomplish for me, so– Waaaiiit a second. That tone sounded a lot like invisible air quotes. Just what exactly is the catch?

Discord GM: Oh, by the way, I brought you a prop.

Rarity: Like a plastic emerald?

Discord GM: Oh no, no. I found this outside.

Rarity: … Ahhh. Aha. Ahahaha ha ha. AHAHAHAHA! AAAAAAHAHAHAHA! Aheh. Hehhhh…

<sigh> Well played.<br/>
Discord GM: Thank you!
