Guest Author's Note: "Fun fact! By the time this comic has gone up, I will have started a game with my sister, her husband, and two of their friends, who have never played D&D or any RPG before.

On a related topic, Fluttershy's response is not as far-fetched as it might seem to the seasoned players. After I finished explaining the rules of D&D to my sister, she responded with 'But…what can you actually do?'

We play a lot of board games, but even the loosest of those has specific rules on what a player's turn looks like. For D&D combat, that's easy enough. For the rest of the game, however? That option tree is a lot to take in the first time you hear about it.

Hopefully by this time next week, I'll have a story about their second session."

Newbiespud's Note: Spudventures are back! GreatDinn here ran another session of our D&D campaign, The Forgotten Ones, on Sunday.
Session 12 — Business is Booming: Podcast | Video

Transcript:

Twilight Sparkle: Sigh. I guess I’ll step in. “How dare you speak to her that way!”
MD: Ooh, finally, a response. “Excuse you?”
Twilight Sparkle: I’m going to try and get in her face. Roll to…intimidate, I guess?
<roll>
Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, that’s about what I expected.
MD: We’ll skip the humiliation and say that the bully leaves you both to wallow.
Twilight Sparkle: At least she’s gone.
FS: Is that something I could’ve done this whole time?
MD: Of course! This is to help introduce Twilight, but you didn’t have to sit there and take it.
FS: I didn’t want to ruin the story.
MD: There isn’t a story to ruin yet!
