Tracking, let's see where this goes.
Pretty interesting........but not for me. You get a like and a spike stash
5902473 Can't please everyone, thanks!!
Brad seems to be taking her new body really well Lol
5902553 I based Brad off someone I know RL. I may or may not run Ponyfinder for them.
5902472 Is there a place you'd like it to go? I love feedback!
Well, this is certainly a novel vector for humans in Equestria. It should be interesting to see what happens from here.
Also, I don't what Paul's complaining about. Being a discarnate, quasi-omnipotent narrator sounds like a fairly sweet gig. Especially if it comes with NPC control and/or omniscience. Granted, those dramatic instincts seem like they're going to be a bear...
Also, typo in the short description: "Friday" should be capitalized.
5902620 Tweaked! Paul is sad because he... doesn't entirely exist? He can see everything but himself. He knows everything... but himself? It's really confusing being what he is. Maybe he'd rather be a pony?
Welcome to the story though! Glad to have you on board.
Sadly for Paul, he sees nothing but typos. It's like those green letter on black scenes from the Matrix, but consisting entirely of typos. It's like being in the mind of cThuulu.
Also,
decent intro. Interested in seeing where it goes from here. I'll forgive the protagonists realizing what is going on so quickly and easily since it lets us get to the meat of the story sooner without some very obvious flailing.
5902702 I like to think them being gamers caught in the middle of gaming makes a difference. The situation isn't entirely alien. They know who they are, just not... why, or what to do exactly. Well, most of them. Brad seems to want to get busy with some of the locals.

Yeah, I get that too. I have a fair bit of D&D experience, and while it would freak me out quite a lot to suddenly become my char mid-session, I too would at least recognize it for what it is. And that's part of why I'm so ready to forgive it.
It seems like it's happening just after char creation, which feels like a simplification but also a bit of a lost opportunity. If this happened to me just after making a new char I'd probably more or less just be myself in an unfamiliar body, but after playing a character much longer, where I've gotten a feel for who they are and how they think.. seems like it could make for added layers to a story.
Of course, as the author that's that much harder because you're trying to write them dealing with that duality when you don't know the characters yourself, and introducing them to the readers that also aren't familiar with them.. yeah.
So, simplicity! It has some things going for it, y'know? :)
5902740 They were clearly mid-combat in a dungeon. That's not exactly just after character creation.
5902770 Oops, you're right. I think I got some wires crossed with a different fic with a comparable premise I just started reading. Doh!
Also, I think the random roll for gender comment threw me a bit. I rescind my erroneous comment then. :)
Though.. they still don't act like they're particular in sync with their characters. I'm willing to accept the fact they just suddenly became them as plenty of excuse for now, though it seems like it be harder to introduce the character's characters after this without being awkward. Especially since they already introduced themselves by their human names to at least one pony.
5902632 Paul could always try to make himself a GMPC. It might not work, but it's at least worth a shot.
5902796 I suppose it depends on how important a role the characters themselves will play in the story verses their players.
It looked like it will be a fun ride here. Though, did they just move from Everglow to Equestria?
5902874 Yes. They were playing Ponyfinder, in Everglow, and Ian, rightly, identified that Everglow is dangerous, yo. It's not as much fun when you're elevated from moving a piece on the map to being that piece!
Equestria seems safer.
5902889 After thumbing through just the main book I decided it was a very unfriendly place. You are a mean person to pcs.
5902915 Have you read my self-insert fic? I am brutal to myself.
5902923 o.O? I think that's a common compulsion around authors. -shrugs- Anyways, thanks for Ponyfinder, but story isn't twigging with me. See ya 'round
Well, Brad's going to prison, but that's okay, he deserves it. Considering that Vinyl's supposed alignment is based entirely on a single fanfic that connects two mares that are never actually shown in the same scene, he may also be in for a surprise before that.
Joe seems like the most promising character. Non-bronies always have more potential in a HiE fic because they get to learn stuff. Add to that the fact that he did not start out by objecting to everything that didn't match his picture of the world. There's a saying, "familiarity breeds contempt." A lot (I almost want to say 'all') of HiE stories have protagonists that are desensitized to the circumstances in Equestria. They talk to the mane 6 and the princesses like they're old buddies, or worse, pets. They don't show them proper respect because they think of them as "Flutters" or "Woona" and they are sure Celestia just wants a good laugh, etc. Joe, on the other hand, doesn't know all this stuff, so he'll probably treat the ponies like people while he finds out what's acceptable and what isn't.
I feel sorry for Paul; he gets all the responsibility and none of the reward. I can just see the former PCs getting mad at him if something bad happens, even if he had nothing to do with it.
5903371 Brad is asking for it. What about Ian, the PoV of the story?
5903464 Ian has yet to distinguish himself, either good or bad. He sounds cautious and his limited interaction with the native pegasus suggested he chooses his words carefully. As a first-person protagonist, I suppose he is destined to become either the leader of the group, or a camera with a name. Either of those options would be fine, since there are other characters to drive the story, but I expect you intend to make him the leader. If I got a good read of the characters' personalities, Joe and Paul seem like the types to put the welfare of the group first. Brad, on the other hand, will probably only follow Ian if he can solve a problem that Brad couldn't. Since Brad is physically powerful, that means Ian will have to be a thinker/strategist to get Brad to follow him.
OMFG Dis is awesome!!! Can't wait for more!!
I like how all of Paul's alternations are retroactively true, as if the house had always been there, but the PCs couldn't see it until he told them about it.
Alright, after getting off of MMO's and 4chan strange waifu thread, I can say I love this already.
*rolls a spot check*
*gets a total of 22*
