It's Nightmare Night and Twilight has found the perfect board game to play. Join the Mane 6 as they investigate a haunted house on a hill.

Not only based on the board game, is being actually run on the board game itself. I have no idea who the traitor is, or what the dice rolls will be. The story also happens to not be beta-read by anyone due to lack of my actually HAVING a beta-reader, so there's that too.

YES! Have ALL of my yes! I love this game to bits! Can't wait for more! :twilightsmile:

Cancelled? But this was posted yesterday.

*Posts a story*
*Cancels it the next day*
:facehoof:

Well, three comments is superior to the zero comments I was expecting, so I'll reconsider continuing it. This was honestly a bet between me and a friend of mine saying it wouldn't get any followers. It's flagged as "Incomplete" instead now.

Well the first thing tha t went wrong is they forgot Spike. Like they always fucking do in this type of story.

In universe reason: Spike is assisting the trick-or-treaters at the front door.
Actual reason: The board game is for six people. It supports as few as four and a maximum of six. Adding an additional person would imba the game.
Potential reason: Depending on how this story goes I may be convinced to have a second game (getting a second scenario, second house, and second traitor) with other characters, like the Princesses or the CMC, at which point I could add in Spike.

“As fun as last years’ Nightmare Night was, neither Fluttershy nor Rarity were able to make it.” Twilight explained. “So, I decided to look for something we could all do together, and I think I found the perfect game.” she finished triumphantly.
“Betrayal at House on the Hill?”

Who said "Betrayal at House on the Hill?"

Put your author's notes in the author's notes section please. :applecry:

Other then that, it looks good, keep up the good work, and don't skimp out on character interaction and details. Don't give up and have some fun, I heard this was a good game.

keep going, keep up the character interaction.
Have fun:raritywink:

If you do a sequel, it really has to involve the princesses. I would read just to see how Luna competes against Celestia

4892009 Wouldn't have let me post since it was just a few words too short. Trying to lengthen it a little.

4892552 I honestly wouldn't know if Luna and Celestia would appear on opposite teams. It's entirely possible someone else would be the traitor. The game cannot be played with less than three people, and even then it's nowhere near as effective; I would need a team of four to six.

Well, I didn't say they'd be the only ones involved. Just that their sisterly rivalry is always so fun to have played out in stories.

4892987 That is true. Depending on how this game goes I will consider it. It also depends on my confidence in successfully writing for those characters.

Fluttershy is traitor. I'm calling it right now.

From all I've seen about it, I LOVE this game, and I haven't even played it yet!

I had been wondering about what this would be like with ponies, and this story's a dream come true! Great stuff so far, keep it up!

keep up the good work. Your quality has improved since the earlier chapters.

What is the chance we will see more of this story?

In this game it's not the traitor that gets you, it's the build up.
