Page 330 - The Next Grand Adventure

But what Pinkie’s planning is for another story, because this arc of Swarm of the Century / A Bird in the Hoof / A Dog and Pony Show is at an end.

Starting this Saturday, and continuing on through September and October, will be a run of guest comics provided by fellow readers. It’s an impressive set this time around, full of references, crossovers, mini-arcs, parodies, cuteness, and much, much more. Regular comics will resume on October 31st.

And when we do return, we’ll be starting up again with Feeling Pinkie Keen.

Have fun, see you all later this Fall, and enjoy the guest comics!

DM: You make it back to Ponyville safely. Aaaand I think that’s where we’ll call it for tonight.
Twilight Sparkle: <yaaawn> Wow, it’s late.
DM: You’re telling me. Alright, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Good news: Between the parasprites, Philomena, the Diamond Dogs, and your friendship lessons, you’ve earned enough XP to level up and then some.
Rainbow Dash: YYYYES!
DM: But it’ll have to wait. The bad news is that we won’t be getting together next week.
Pinkie Pie: Whaaaat? Why not?
DM: Well, I think I need some time off to make new plans and rethink how I’m running this game. But besides that, a couple of us have conflicts that week.
Rarity: It’s true. I will be heading out of town and won’t be back until the week after.
Rainbow Dash: Ah, shoot. I totally forgot about D&D Camp. Yeah, I can’t make it either.
Fluttershy: I guess this is best, then.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh… Okay…
Applejack: Them’s the breaks.
Pinkie Pie: Hey, hey, hey, hey, HEY! The REST of us are free that week, RIGHT?!
DM: It seems so…
Pinkie Pie: Then we should TOTALLY do a game at MY place! Like an inbetweener!
DM: But, uh… Who’d be the DM that week?
Pinkie Pie: Isn’t it obvious? ME!
Twilight Sparkle: Wait, you can do that?
Rarity: It’s not uncommon to have a guest DM for one session.
Rainbow Dash: Even I guested once. …That game got written off as non-canon, but still.
Applejack: Good times.
DM: Well, I’ll want to double-check your plan to make sure it won’t, y’know, break the setting… But other than that, I’m open to the idea. What do the rest of you think?
(beat)
Applejack: Heck with it. Sure, why not?
Fluttershy: Sounds like a lot of fun, actually.
Twilight Sparkle: Let’s give it a shot.
Pinkie Pie: Alright! I’ve got so many ideas for next week, I don’t even know where to start! This is gonna be the best session EVER!
DM: Oh boy…
