Line 18:
* [[Big "What?"]]: From Twilight's teammates and the GM when she announces {{spoiler|the Elements of Harmony are within her friends}}.
* [[Book Ends]]: For the Feeling Pinkie Keen arc. The first time, it's silly and carefree. The second time, it's much more heartwarming.
{{quote| '''AJ's Player:''' ''"Hey, it's free food and good company. What's to complain about?"''}}
* [[Brick Joke]]: During Twilight's introduction, Pinkie's player mentions that ponies can't get drunk. Later, during ''her'' introduction, she brings it back up.
* [[Broad Strokes]]: While the basic events of the episodes remain the same, the author has thrown in some extra scenes (such as Twilight writing another letter to Celestia just before NightMare Moon's arrival or talking to the more experienced players after their first session wraps up) or changed how they play out (like {{spoiler|Fluttershy botching her roll and Rarity going over the cliff}}).
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: During Dash's [[Leave Your Quest Test|temptation]], Rarity and Applejack's players state she's not very good at roleplaying and was probably the worst choice for the solo scene, leading her to take both scene and offer more seriously.
** When Twilight states that Applejack represents the Element of Honesty, AJ's player is honestly surprised at how she classes her behavior:
{{quote| '''AJ's Player:''' Honesty... huh, never looked at it that way. Everyone else calls it annoying.<br />
'''GM:''' That's because it ''IS'', sometimes. }}
* [[Classy Cat Burglar]]: Rarity, who describes herself as a 'social rogue'.
Line 35:
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones|Even Evil Has]] [[True Companions]]: How Dash's player justifies having the Element of Loyalty. Just because she's Chaotic Evil doesn't mean she won't stick by her friends no matter ''what'' others (or the GM) say.
* [[Failed a Spot Check]]:
{{quote| '''GM:''' Forgot to ask beforehand - what's everypony's Passive Perception?<br />
'''Applejack:''' ...Aw, '''heck''' no. }}
* [[Familiar]]: Spike is now Twilight's familiar.
Line 47:
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: {{spoiler|Nightmare Moon was intended to be this.}}
* [[Hulk Speak]]: Rainbow Dash forces the Shadowbolts to reduce their [[Leave Your Quest Test|offer]] to this. She's ''really'' sick of all the speeches.
{{quote| '''Shadowbolt:''' We, Shadowbolts. You, captain. ...Accept?<br />
'''Rainbow Dash:''' '''Much''' better. }}
* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]:
{{quote| '''Twilight:''' Well, yes, but... Why...? Ugh, I need a drink!<br />
'''GM:''' In-character or out-of-character?<br />
'''Twilight:''' BOTH! }}
* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: {{spoiler|Dash tries to goad the Shadowbolts into showing aggression so she can attack.}}
Line 92:
** The rest of the party is more content to follow the plot, except in the Zecora story arc, where the railroading is so blatant and abusive of the players' free will that they call the GM out on it afterward. {{spoiler|Pinkie's player even makes her write a friendship letter to Celestia.}}
* [[Retroactive Wish]]: After Pinkie finds the reference guide:
{{quote| '''Rainbow Dash:''' Oh, great. Is this book just gonna TELL us the information?<br />
'''GM:''' As soon as you open the book you hear: "Hey! How about a little respect for the R.G?!"<br />
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Really? You're gonna take everything I say and...? Oh gee, I wonder if...<br />
'''Applejack:''' ''Stop talkin'!!'' }}
* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: Applejack's player establishes this about cutie marks. Essentially, if a pony's cutie mark symbolizes what they're best at, they have to know ''everything'' about that particular subject, and barring obscenely specific talents, there's bound to be some skills that overlap with other fields. So even though, for example, Applejack is an apple farmer, there are plenty of skills and aptitudes that cross over into her player class as a ranger.
Line 110:
* [[This Is Gonna Suck]]: Rarity's player reacts this way when she hears Pinkie Pie's about to use a Glib Limerick.
* [[Title Drop]]: For the show.
{{quote| '''GM:''' Really? You actually want to keep playing my little pony game?}}
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Twilight isn't quite sure if the sea serpent is a 'sir' or not.
{{quote| '''GM:''' Would you like to roll an Insight Check?<br />
'''Twilight:''' ...Nnngh. }}
* [[Total Party Kill]]: Happens to the CMC's {{spoiler|due to them derailing the [[Game Master|GameMasters]] plot and attacking Fluttershy as evil, when she was just trying to set them a fetch quest. She turns out to be a 15th level druid.}}
Line 118:
* [[You All Meet in An Inn|You All Meet In A Tavern]]: Referenced and avoided, much to the consternation of Dash's player.
* [[You Answered Your Own Question]]: When the Mane Six enters [http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/comics/78 the ruins where the Elements of Harmony are kept]:
{{quote| '''AJ''': "Then what the heck is Nightmare Moon up to anyhow? Is she waitin' outside or somethin'?"<br />
'''AJ''': ".. Aw, shoot, I just answered my own question." }}
* [[You Can't Thwart Stage One]]: {{spoiler|Averted, to the GM's misfortune and ire.}}
