Guest Author’s Note: “The amount of times I’ve felt like Pinkie during an RPG is…a number higher than I’d like to count. I, personally, am very prone to elaborate plans and schemes as a player. I try to set up factions against one another, try to layer disguise after disguise, and generally do everything in my power to avoid a simple solution. It’s a running gag in my Shadowrun game that my character will try to hire any NPC that isn’t an immediate threat.

But a lot of the times, a simple solution is way better than a complex one.

It’s just funny how often the simple ones seem to get you by surprise.

Story Time: Any time your group realized a simple solution to their problems after way too long?”

RD: I’m not a big fan of the secrecy. I’m just glad it’s because our DM wants to keep playing as much as we do.
Twilight Sparkle: So, you were having fun with your other games?
PP: Not exactly… But we like the world and we like each other. We just haven’t exactly done much since that first game, and we would like to fix that. We just aren’t sure how to…ya know. Do it.
RT: We really have been wracking our brains trying to figure out some way for our characters to help Twilight. But we’re just not getting any inspiration.
FS: I think I might have an idea…Couldn’t we just…win the Fall Formal and get the crown that way? We’d humiliate Sunset Shimmer in the process which, feels like enough motivation for all of us.
PP: You know…when you put it that way…I sure feel stupid. Anyone else?
