''[http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/comics/first/ Friendship is Dragons]'' is a [[Campaign Comic]] that follows that story of six girls as they play through a new [[Dungeons and Dragons]] campaign setting, one that just happens to closely resemble ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. The girls behind the ponies range from a [[Role Play|Roleplayer]] to a [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|Psychopath]] and from experienced gamers to a pair of [[Noob|Newb]]s. The players themselves have not been named, and of particular note is the fact that the comic is explicitly set in the [[Dungeons and Dragons]] universe, using 4e rules.
The players are:
Line 17:
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: The players' takes on their respective ponies.
* [[Backstory]]: All the characters have some backstory, Applejack most of all.
* [[Big "What?"]]: From Twilight's teammates and the GM when she announces {{spoiler|the Elements of Harmony are within her friends}}.
* [[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}}).
Line 65:
** Naturally appears in the ''[[One Piece Grand Line 3 Point 5 (Webcomic)|One Piece Grand Line 3 Point 5]]'' [[Crossover]]. Cory's ''first'' character is Snips, with his scissors mark symbolizing a talent for 'cutting'. Meaning he's the ''fastest'' when it comes to cutting, and every cut deals massive damage. When that doesn't pass, his second attempt's the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well... with ''ALL'' their talents.
*** Even Nat, who's the reasonable [[The Roleplayer|role player]] in Grand Line 3.5, seems like a min-maxing power gamer next to the regulars when she plays Trixie.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: [[Played for Laughs]] when Rarity's player makes her overreact to Twilight's pointing out {{spoiler|how she helped the sea serpent}} in this fashion.
* [[Never Split the Party]]: Pinkie Pie reacts badly when AJ suggests this.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: At the end of the Nightmare Moon arc, the GM invokes this by telling Twilight's player that {{spoiler|they can't play anymore because she utterly demolished all his original plans}}. Fortunately, the others call him on this.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Dash is the 'can't be bothered learning your real name' variety, calling the others by their classes.
* [[Noob|Newb]]: Both Twilight and Fluttershy's players are new to roleplaying. Twilight is well versed in the rules of [[Dungeons and Dragons]], while Fluttershy is less interested in the rules than she is in the setting itself.
Line 94:
* [[Rocks Fall Everyone Dies]]: When Twilight threatens to derail his planned plot completely, the GM responds by threatening a [[Total Party Kill]] courtesy of Nightmare Moon.
** Actually happens to the CMC's {{spoiler|in their scene with Fluttershy taken from Staremaster. The CMC's try to derail the plot by accusing Fluttershy of being evil when she sets them a fetch quest, promptly attacking her familiar, Angel. Fluttershy promptly reveals herself to be a 15th level druid and wipes them out.}}
* [[
* [[
* {{spoiler|[[Sequence Breaking]]: Nightmare Moon was supposed to take up the entire campaign, and they got through it in a night.}}
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Meta-example; It's common (at this point every strip) for the commenters to tell stories of their own role playing exploits that relate the current strip, more than just anecdotes, most are longer than the strips themselves.
