Page 795 - Really Unrealistic

Author: Dusk Raven

Guest Author’s Note: “I’m not too much of a stickler for realism - I’m more for consistency and internal rationalism. Sure, it may not make sense for Pegasi to fly from a ‘realism’ standpoint, but once you know how the world works, it makes perfect sense. Of course, in a tabletop game, sometimes players use their knowledge of the unrealistic world to argue, realistically, for more unrealistic things.

“As for the actual comic this was a learning experience on quite a few levels, and this is definitely something I’d like to do again - when I’m not so rusty with Photoshop and when I’m not prohibited from grabbing screencaps for monstrously stupid - even contrived – reasons.”

DM: No! You can’t fly by tying yourself to a load of balloons!
Pinkie Pie: Why not?
DM: There’s not enough lift!
Pinkie Pie: But Pegasi can fly, and walk on clouds, even though their wings are so small!
DM: That’s because of their magic! It lets them fly when they shouldn’t be able to do otherwise!
Pinkie Pie: So I’ll just use my Earth Pony magic to fly! My Earth Pony strength will propel this gyrocopter across the skies!
Rainbow Dash: You know, that gives me an awesome idea…
DM: Don’t you start!
