Video games are my passion. When I was offered a chance to test out some new "Chess Game" virtual reality simulator during its beta stages, how could I refuse? Go on adventures, explore new worlds and troll NPC's programmed with the most advanced AI available. It sounded like a dream come true.

Too bad I didn't read the fine print.

Contains a healthy amount of swearing and violence.

Let's get this straight - I don't like people. I like being alone with my thoughts without having to go through the mundane distractions of social commitments.

So when I was asked if I wanted to go someplace with no human interactions, I hopped onboard without a second thought. I probably should have thought that one through.

There's no humans, sure, but in order to survive I HAVE to be able to have a steady conversation with ponies. Considering ponies are exactly the same as humans... It isn't going to be easy. Oh, and there's that whole 'Save our race otherwise you die,' deal. I can't believe I got roped into something so convoluted it makes the Lost storyline seem like something you read to a child.

Based on Rust's immense and amazing universe and a part of the Chess Game of the Gods.

With rumours of creatures acting out of the ordinary spreading through Equestria, one motley (and obsessive) reporter for a small time newspaper and her 'spritely' companion set out for answers.

Meet the pegasus Puppy Love and the magical cricket sprite "Dave" as they interview the stars of the "Chess Game of the Gods" Ponyverse.

Not necessarily canon to their stories. Choice made by the authors.

Chapters post-Prologue will be written half-live and half-blog, the blog being simple Q and A with possible 'author' comments. The questions will have actually been sent to each character's author to answer. Going to say also non-chronological due to timing interviews with each character and such. May also be interludes.
Only added tags I'm sure about... may add "Human" if authors choose to have their characters reveal their origin.

As the walls close in on a haunted young woman, a man offers to grant her one wish. In exchange, she must become a pawn in game that has no end in sight and make her mark on this strange new yet familiar world. On her way she meets old friends, new friends and a chance confront her past.

An aspiring rationalist gets punted into Equestria - and instead of being turned into a cool griffon, or powerful dragon, or even a standard pony... discovers he is now a milk-cow, part of the herd.

Part of the Chess Game of the Gods crossover.

[Rewrite's done!]

There's not a lot of things that get to me. One time, I was held at gunpoint by a hoodlum in a grocery store. Then there was this time when I almost got sandwiched between a tractor-trailer and a SUV. At both moments, I was pretty surprised and scared shitless. But this; this whole thing with me waking up in a different body and shit?

I guess I should start out by introducing myself. I'm Justin, and this is how I woke up one day in an alien body.

(There'll be some extensive use of Cursing: Blood and Violence. Viewer Discretion is advised. Of course, the blood and such will take effect later in the story. )

This story was approved by BlackWing to take place in the Chess Game of the Gods universe. I'd also like to give a shout-out to Cloud_Surfer, who approved my species.

My name's Adam. Well that's my name this time around, anyways. This isn't the first time I've been alive. I suppose that the best way to describe me would be a reincarnation.
Yeah, so I in the middle of another game. Yes, you heard me right, another game. Seems that the gods get bored easily. Last one that I was in was only 2000 years ago, give or take.
Anyways, here I am, in the middle of 'Equestria', with a newborn god as my sponsor. Well, at least she's fairly powerful.

This story takes place in Rust's and BlackWIng's Chess Game of the Gods universe. It's been approved! Horay!

This is NOT a self insert, I don't do those.

I hesitantly put the romance tag in this, and I may take it out later.

I'm Griffin, not much else to it. I've been bullied most of my life, which left me bitter and sarcastic. I'm a closet brony. What? You think I'm just gonna go out and tell a world that hates me that I watch a cartoon intended for little girls? I don't feel like giving the punks at school any more ammo. That's when cosmic powers decide I need to take a trip to my favorite fantasy land. But all is not sunshine and rainbows and it certainly won't be after I'm done with it. Equestria from the point of view of an extremely pissed off teenager, with a twist. Rust, the author of 'The Ballad of Echo the Diamond dog' is awesomesauce enough to have a cross over between our stories. Carnelian is a boss when it comes to art. Part of the 'Chess Game of the Gods'.

Violence, gratuitous swearing, and sexual themes. Reader discretion is advised.
