S06E18: Dungeons & Discords

Postby Wayoshi (?) » Wed Aug 24, 2016 3:51 pm

When the Mane 6 leave town, Discord decides to join Spike and Big Mac's top secret Guys' Night; Much to Discord's disappointment, the Guys' Night turns out to be an evening of fantasy role-playing.


This thread is for discussion of the episode. This episode airs at 11:30 AM Eastern / 8:30 AM Pacific on Saturday, August 27!

Official preview clips and images are okay to post, as is speculation about the episode.

This is gonna be amazing.

What's the over/under on this involving actual magical fuckery or just everyone pretending really hard?

Given that Discord is involved, I'm guessing the former.

In one of the clips Dash was shown to be physically jumping into a barrier that outfitted her.

:dearcelestia: What shape do you choose for her?
:excellent: Fat.
:dearcelestia: OK, Rainbow Dash starts gaining weight.

I wish the writers were announced in advance. I don't know, I like seeing that kind of stuff. :pinkieshrug:

At worst, this episode will (at least) offer some Discord fun. At best, it'll be "Make New Friends but Keep Discord". :-D

I want to imagine their fantasy role-playing is something completely opposite of what we normally think of it as.

:here: "We are playing a fantasy game. It is a world completely different from our own, were no magic or dragons exist."
:notgonnadoit: "Right now I'm a level 12 clerk. Once I get to level 20 I can be promoted to an accountant and spec into office management skills."
:dearcelestia: "I just got an epic folder that allows me to hold up to twelve forms and a rare coffee mug that gives me plus three to energy."
:notgonnadoit: "Wait, your supervisor skill isn't high enough for your filing cabinets to hold that epic folder. You need to submit a report to corporate first. Have you been cheating this whole time?"
:eep: "..."

Something I'd mentioned elsewhere (prob. on Discord) is that I thought it'd be interesting if futuristic sci-fi settings were the most popular in Equestrian tabletop RPGs. Still, it's funny that most ponies in this magical fantasy world lead lives so mundane that they use fantasy adventure for their entertainment (see also the Daring Do books and how they're actually based on true stories).

New preview out and I did not expect to see Hulkshy return.

So Discord is basically that kid doesn't want to go and play with the other neighborhood kids so his mom makes him.

:excellent: But why do you need me for your silly ... "role playing" activity?
:yikes: Because we need players desperately, and gaming night is Guys' Night!
:here: And you're at least 50% guy!
:excellent: Darn tootin'. But can't you get some other male instead? What about that nice Garble boy?
:eep: Asked. Lava swirlie.
:excellent: Well, how about Zephyr Breeze?

I'm glad that Fluttershy is such a complex character. Sure, her overarching personality is to be shy and timid but there is so much more to her then that. At times she can be firm and aggressive as well. It is fun to watch her because you get a general idea of how she will behave but at other times we also see glimpses of different aspects of her personality. She is like a beautiful rainbow crystal that when you look inside you can see so many colorful... um, colors! That is why I relate to her the most.

If they won't feature any of the hallmark D&D monsters (like Owlbears, Displacer Beasts, Myconids, Beholders, or Othyugs) I'll be highly disappointed. I don't expect them to show a Terrask or Tiamat or any monster in the giant or colossal category but if they do I'll be truly amazed.
