This story is a sequel to Let Me Tell You About My Character
After years of nerdy fun, Twilight Sparkle's favorite Role Playing Game comes to an unexpected and inglorious end, leaving her with a particularly nerdy kind of melancholy. But it's stupid to get so sad over a game, right?
Sunset and Company take it upon themselves to cheer her up anyway.
Tumbleweed, he puts the “Meta” in Metaphor.
Ooh, more Tumbleweed EqG. And as has been stated, looks like this one's tackling the less-than-satisfactory lack of a conclusion for the spinoff. Eagerly looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

That may be the best thing anyone's ever said about me.
I feel Twi's pain.

There's a Christmas special though, right?
9888050
More like a compilation of shorts, from what I've heard.
9888055
That sucks.
I wanna give Sci-Twi a big ole' hug. Is that all right?
Not sure if this is more about MLP ending or Pathfinder moving to 2nd edition, but either way I am hooked.
Any EqG story written by Tumbleweed is a huge treat. And I’m glad you’re writing.
So chronologically, does this come before or after Cabin Fervor? Or was that a separate one shot?
Oh this is gonna be fun!
This is a great start to what should be a wonderful, and hopefully emotional story. Definitely looking forward to what comes next!
Hey, Rainbow Dash can still help! She just needs to go beat up the Norwegian company until it agrees to support the old edition as well.

Aw dang, and here I was just thinking about how the only people who still play 3.P are toxic weirdos so it's hard to find a chill group. Totally missed the metaphor.
Excellent update! It really lifted my mood to see the next installment of this story.
Was Twilight thinking about looking for a chainsaw a call-back to that story with the changelings and the cabin? XD
One last hoorah. Let's Go!
Eeee! Let’s do this thing!
I’m worried at Twilight’s first instinct in a horror situation. Then again, she is of Friendship. Naturally she seeks out The Great Communicator.
Granny Smith though, good to see she’s still kicking it up.
And that is a great introduction Lyra, good work ^^
Looks like the gang's gonna help out Twilight, here. Good for them!
Yaaaay! Getting to the good stuff.
This is needlessly ominous and I love it.
Depends on how much of a ritual she's build up around it.
Oh, this should be quite fun. Looking forward to seeing how the session develops.
Oh I love this. Surprise party-LARPing! Kind of reminds me of The Man who Knew Too Little.

It looks like a direct reference to the new/old World of Darkness thing (although IRL the video game company was Icelandic and the old WoD made a sort of comeback).

I mean, what else would you call old ladies breaking into the caffeinated sodas after midnight?
This whole chapter made me squee and that never happens for me
*BIG SNIFF*
Oh yeah. That's the good shit. That good good RP drama.
10040618
I didn't squee, but I agree!
The whole thing is as cheesy as it could get. :D
Haha, I'm grinning from ear-to-ear!
Oh I love it, this is great.
Wonderful roleplaying from Lyra and Twilight, some great improve too. "I am the paradox point." Heh.
I love the idea of Rarity going full authenticity on the burial shrouds. People forget that's the origin of 'bedsheet ghosts'. Well, and budget :p
And all of this is reminding me just how much I want a game of Continuum.
Aww.
Good chapter.
Brilliant stuff, from Twilight rewriting the plot into something better than they'd planned to Rarity shipping herself with Applejack by proxy. I just hope Twilight didn't actually sprain her ankle.
Sorry to say, but you left this sentence hanging.
That said, this chapter was a lot of fun!
Dawww
What a charming ending. Thank you for the wonderful little story.
Aww, lovely.
We're all dorks here. The sooner you embrace it, the sooner you stop worrying about what those "normal" people think of you. Fun story.
Aww
"Nerder," if you will.
Oh hey, that's a thing. I wonder if this Carrot Top got ahold of an enchanted sourcebook as well. Or will. Depends on if/when the pony Flash stumbles through the portal.
I do love how defensive Sunset is about her dorkiness. No one who wears a leather jacket with "friendship cones" has fully abandoned her "bad girl" persona.
I'm choosing to interpret this with shipping goggles on and you can't stop me.
A delightful conclusion to this arc of the Tumbleverse, which may or may not he a thing. Thank you for it.
Loved it!
I'm glad it got to have an ending. When you're playing an RPG like this, the death of your character isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Coming from July 2020, I've seen MLP: Pony Life, and it's not that good. Bronies I know aren't enjoying it much. (If you're reading this and you do like it, that's great, but for a lot of people it doesn't seem like it's going to save us from the eternal hiatus.)
At least we can still keep doing G4 fanfic though!

Amen, buddy. No matter how long, there will still be a fanbase. Somehow.
Just wish we got a proper ending for EQG
Wait, is the name Tara Sterling just a mash-up of Tara Strong and Juliet Starling?
Of course she forgot.
Technically it was stolen magic but I'll accept this.
I seriously don't find that bad at all.
Ok, now I see where this is going.
Ngl, what Sci Twi explained is kinda similar to what happened to Equestria Girls itself once Friendship is Magic and Gen 4 ended in 2019.
Something tells me she might not.
for?"*
laugh at her thing?
LARP?
Damn it Pinkie.
She almosted said loved. Saw that coming a mile away.
Good.
A space is needed at the beginning of the last sentence in the paragraph after 'release day.'
Indeed.
