Line 19:
== The GM [[Nerf|Nerfs]] the Apple Clan. ==
AJ's player originally intended for the ''whole clan'' to stay and work in Sweet Apple Acres, earning lots of money for her adventuring career. The GM decides this is too overpowered and cuts it down to just Big Mac, Granny Smith and Apple Bloom in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* Justification will be either:
** Applejack's parents were killed by monsters, giving her a tragic backstory and reason for becoming an adventurer.
Line 50:
* Not all of the regular players will be able to show up to every session, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders are created to try and avoid [[Never Split the Party|splitting the party]].
* Side-effect of Applejack creating such a big family: the GM expects her to ''do'' something to flesh them out more.
* An attempt to draw Fluttershy's player [[The Quiet One|out of her shell]] and make her a more confident player. If she plays one of the Crusaders (most likely Sweetie Belle), the events of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* Punishing Dash's player for all her complaining by illustrating how it could be worse: she could be a pegasus who can't even fly and has even ''less'' reason to go adventuring!
Line 62:
* '''Apple Bloom''': Twilight's player, trying to expand her repitoire and prove she's not completely reliant upon magic.
* '''Sweetie Belle''': Pinkie's player: given how Rarity reacts to her main, having the [[Spoony Bard]] play her little sister as well [[Rule of Funny|would be hilarious]].
** Fluttershy's player could also work, though "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* '''Scootaloo''': RD's player, hoping for more action. She could also be attempting to groom Scoots as a potential backup character in case anything happens to Dash.
In all these cases, their 'main' characters showing up could be balanced by the DM temporarily playing them as a NPC, or handwaving their access to information, such as [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* Jossed, they were in a guest comic.
Line 78:
== Adapting Future Campaign Episodes ==
== Owlowiscious will be Twilight's player attempting to get a new familiar. ==
Since the GM [[NPC|provides Spike's characterization]], she'll get annoyed enough with his snark to try and replace him with a new familiar -- one who ''can't talk''. The GM responds by [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
== Gilda and Trixie will be failed attempts at adding a [[Sixth Ranger]]... ==
Line 89:
* Apparently not, she was Natalie's character in the ''Grand Line'' crossover.
== "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
With Rarity thinking that the other mun doesn't use the extensive [[Backstory]] she's created for AJ ''correctly'' and is treating the Apple Clan as mindless, shallowly characterized labor. AJ's player defends her decisions as practical and accuses Rarity's mun of overthinking things.
* This could [[Foreshadow]] "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
== Discord will be the GM's way of giving Rainbow Dash's player exactly what they wanted. ==
Line 97:
== Discord is the GM's attempt at 'rerailing' the campaign. ==
Though the changes he had to make in response to Twilight's taking the series [[Off the Rails]] work at first, the GM isn't completely satisifed. (If the series is kept entirely in order, he could be disappointed by the results of the Grand Galloping Gala... or, alternately, irritated by the players' reactions to it, or generally continuing complaints of the series not having enough 'action'.) [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
Along the way, he reveals lingering frustration with how each of the players has conducted themselves thus far. In particular, Discord singling out Rainbow Dash for a far more [[Sadistic Choice|sadistic version]] of a [[Leave Your Quest Test]] comes off as his attempt to ensure she doesn't handle it the same way as her first one. This leads to hurt feelings across the board, and the group seemingly on the verge of breaking up entirely.
Line 107:
Plus, there's something ironic about the Embodiment of Chaos being used in a heavyhanded attempt to force '[[Railroading|Order]]' upon the player party...
== "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
She could have intended this as a ''temporary'' change, in order to try playing a different character concept for a while before [[The Bus Came Back|bringing her back]] later, or a more permanent switch-up. Either way, the whole thing gets dragged [[Off the Rails]] when the rest of the group, instead of meeting her replacement, decide to go after her instead.
== [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
Giving her an outlet for the sort of dungeon-crawling adventure she's more familiar with.
* Instead of the conflict being Dash not wanting the others to know she's gotten into reading, perhaps her player's more concerned with keeping the others from discovering she's become so invested in the 'girly ponies' setting she's started playing ''another'' adventure in it.
