And somehow I’ve stumbled into a subtextual theme of reconciling the differences between casual and hardcore tabletop players. A subject I don’t feel nearly qualified enough to weigh in on, but here we are.  
Notice: Arint’s Last Day, an expansion mod I’ve been making for the deckbuilding roguelike RPG Griftlands, is now available! If you enjoy my writing, you might like it!

Twilight Sparkle: Then I guess it’s time. Using the Elements of Harmony, we cast the spell that’ll pierce through Discord’s barrier of dimensional chaos!  
Discord GM: You all seem very confident that this will work.  
Rainbow Dash: And why shouldn’t we be?  
Discord GM: I’ll remind you that you’re going up against a god.  
Pinkie Pie: And you’re up against six cute pastel horses!  
Rarity: Surely Discord can appreciate a worthy challenge.  
Discord GM: Sure, sure. I’m just saying – is the DM not even going to make you roll for this?  
DM: They’ve been working hard on this goal. The “skill check” in this case was the past few sessions of strengthening their bond. And it took all of that just to kick in the door. The easy part.  
Discord GM: Awww, you know just what to say.
