Eagerly awaiting the arrival of Best Pony and Pretty Dang Good Newbie Roleplayer.
Well, that's not quite true. Tom is actually best pony. But he's not showing up for some time, yet.

Thanks to you, I am now looking for a D20 guide for ponies :P
This is the best D20 pony I've found this far.

It's the one I'm using for my pegasus sorcerer. (I know it's not 4e)

As much as I agree, I think 4e better fits ponies - it just has a cartoonier feel to me, and PCs' ridiculous HP totals leave you with characters who can withstand life in Equestria. (Just look at some of RD's more spectacular crashes, or Twilight's really bad days!)
Exhausted every screencap? But we haven't seen Twilight in tons of different dresses!
The author must be saving those screencaps for when the group needs to don disguises.
Wait, since applejack's player is OOC right now, is that her real accent?
Not necessarily. Applejack is a somewhat experienced roleplayer. She may just be keeping up her in-character accent so that she can jump more quickly into character in case she suddenly needs to do some unexpected in-character roleplaying.
Or maybe it's her real accent. Who knows?

...says the character whose special talent is "getting a steady income of gold".
At least Rarity is HONEST about her characters goals. Everything is for the loot, but unlike AJ's convoluted roundabout way of doing it, she's upfront about it.
Is Fluttershy the only one who picked a talent without resorting to meta-gaming?
...and possibly Pinkie? Although she might have picked partying the better to troll with; it'll depend on how Pinkie ends up characterized.
Fluttershy = Best Pony (but not by much! I love all of my little ponies). Excited to see how that turns out. Loving the comic by the way. I like the fact how the player and the character are separate.
I'm assuming that we'll get actual little sisters from the experienced role players (Applejack/Rarity) to introduce them to role playing (and they will play Applebloom/Sweety Belle respectively). And maybe a kid that looks up to Rainbow Dash's player (for Scootaloo).
Also I think Sweety Belle will also be a Bard. But what of the other two?
I'd say the crusaders will be used as recurring pesky NPCs as their appearances in the show are nowhere near as frequent as the Mane 6 to justify roleplayers
It's interesting that Applejack's player is calling Rarity out- possibly alluding to enmity between the players, mirroring the disagreements between the two characters in the show.
Nice touch!

I love Rarity. SO MUCH.
Social Rogue was such a brilliant class idea.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO D8

Thank god I discovered and appreciate D and D and know about the basic points of what to do, not to do, and classes and stuff like that. Otherwise I'd be Fluttershy in this situation. Casual gaming, FTW! ^_^
Gotta love Rarity. A pretty unconventional rogue, but then again, Rarity is a pretty unconventional pony.

this comic reminds me of the fact that earth ponies appear to be the other races with their special abilities removed. are you giving the earth ponies any advantage to make up for lack of flying/magic abilities.
That's a common misconception. Earth Ponies have a magical connection to plants and animals. This is why Applejack and her kin are such great farmers and why Fluttershy is an oddity.
Yes, that's what they tell the earth pony children in school. "Everypony is magical, each in his or her own way! Just because you can't fly or cast spells doesn't mean you aren't special, and don't let anypony tell you otherwise!"
Hey, some of them even buy it. Whatever helps them get through the day.

Just like those kids I consistently beat in math, reading, and science without even trying, even to this day in college.
This is my favourite comic so far because it's stepping further away from the known plot.
Don't know why I'm only realizing it now, but I accidentally made the perfect video for this comic back before I had ever heard of it.
Never Split the Party anyone?

I just read all the pages and FREAKED OUT that it wasn't at the end. I am loving this D&D ponies, amazing idea.
See, this (and AJ) is an example of why min-maxing need not ruin roleplay.
Twilight('s player) may learn too.

Hey, how cute. You used the "I'm going to slit your throat with my horn" panel. Too bad, You didn't squeeze in a joke about it.
I have always loved that scene of Rarity nuzzling Twilight's side in the last panel, and having Rarity sweetly confess her roguish nature in it just makes it perfect. ^__^
You know, this reminds me of something I figured out a while back. Each Pony has a special talent, an area that they exel in, but they also have a skill, something that they are good at because they've been doing it for years. For example, Twilight's talent is magic but her skill is organization. Rarity's skill is dressmaking, Applejack's is baking, Rainbow Dash's is weather control, Pinkie's is baking as well, and Fluttershy's is berserking. Also, Celestia's is schemeing.
