* EveryoneHasLotsOfSex: Equestrian society appears to be very sexually permissive; promiscuity is not discouraged, and there's a readily-available contraceptive potion. There doesn't seem to be any taboo against same-sex relations either, although [[GenderBender Trailblazer has ways around that in any case]].

* DudeNotFunny: Captain Moor plays a joke on Furia Storm by pretending that he's about to arrest and imprison her, when actually he's congratulating her. Considering that Furia was locked up by ponies for ''hundreds of years'' and fears it happening again, she is decidedly unamused by this. At least the Captain apologizes for the joke's poor taste.

* DayHurtsDarkAdjustedEyes: Bat ponies are nocturnal and their eyes are adapted for night vision; they therefore have some difficulty seeing in daylight. Moonflower compensates by wearing a hat to shade her eyes. Other bat ponies blindfold themselves completely and rely on other senses to get around.

* BlindfoldedVision: Bat ponies are nocturnal and have difficulty seeing during the day. Moonflower gets around this by wearing a hat to shield her eyes, but more well-equipped bat ponies forgo their sight entirely by blindfolding themselves, presumably navigating by echolocation alone.



** The other races of pony shunned the batponies hundreds of years ago and drove their clans underground, where they became elusive and rarely-seen. For that reason, many ponies don't even know that batponies exist, and batponies are extremely distrustful of the other pony races. Part of Moonflower's quest is the goal to bring all the pony kinds back together once more.

As the reader/player, you take the role of Trailblazer, a young earth pony with an adventurous spirit, who has just moved to her new home of Hoofington.

!''d20 Pony'' contains the following tropes:

* ArtificialGill: [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2018-04-16#post Sea Swirl enchants Trailblazer and Moonflower's choker necklaces with an Aquatic Respiration spell.]]
* BewareMyStingerTail: Sea Swirl's Temples and Titans character uses a tail-mounted flail for combat, which she can charge with electricity for more damage.
* BeyondTheImpossible: In their Temples and Titans game, Trailblazer's character succeeds in looking so ''unfathomably'' cool that a set of magic sunglasses manifests out of nowhere from the sheer awesomeness of it. And he keeps them for the rest of the game!

'''Dawn Break:''' "Combat has started."
* DeadpanSnarker: Furia Storm
* DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel: Sea Swirl has a blatant tentacle fetish, and will take any opportunity to get herself captured by something sufficiently betentacled. Much to the annoyance of her fellow Temples and Titans players.
* DependingOnTheWriter: While there's only one writer, they are somewhat at the mercy of whatever action ends up being decided by the players - therefore, Trailblazer has a tendency to make rather ''strange'' decisions from time to time.
* DoubleSpeak:
--> '''Moonflower:''' "... I wish I was brave enough to test potions like that. Heehee!"\\
'''Furia Storm:''' "Brave is one way to put it."
* EpicFlail: Zaroun the Zebra wields a rather exotic one, a sturdy wheel attached by a rope to his hindleg.
* ExoticWeaponSupremacy: Tonsoria's giant pair of scissors looks rather silly at first... [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2016-10-31#post until you see what she can do with them]].
* FandomNod: Trailblazer's Temples and Titan's character is a black-and-red warlock named Blood Edge. This is almost certainly a jab at badly-designed pony OCs, which are a meme in the Brony fandom - the much-mocked archetype is an overpowered pony which is red and black in color and incongruously "edgy" or otherwise out-of-place in a whimsical pony setting.
* FantasticRacism:
** The other races of pony shunned the batponies hundreds of years ago and drove their clans underground, where they became elusive and rarely-seen. For that reason, many ponies don't even know that batponies exist, and batponies are extremely distrustful of the other pony races. Part of Moonflower's quest is the goal to bring all the pony kinds back together once more.
** Ponies persecuted the entire race of sirens due to the actions of a few evildoers, which resulted in many innocent sirens being imprisoned.
* GameMaster: Dawn Break runs the Temples and Titans game for her group of friends.
* GenderBender: The Ring of Alter Sex allows a mare to instantly and safely transform into a stallion, and vice-versa.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2017-10-09#post The siren in the Amblerta cave has evil red glowing eyes.]] [[TooDumbToLive And Trailblazer still tries to pet it]].
* HeroesPreferSwords: Trailblazer starts unarmed and doesn't equip her sword until much later (when she remembers she has one). She's not particularly proficient with it at first, but she gets better.
* HeroicMime: Trailblazer does talk, but we never hear her voice directly in-game; instead, the game simply summarizes what she said. However, she does write her own quest journal entries, and her voice can also be heard when she's roleplaying her own character in the Temples and Titans game.
* JokeItem: As part of a RunningGag, the various general stores that Trailblazer encounters are always selling at least one olisbos (a sex toy). This gets taken UpToEleven when Trailblazer eventually finds [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2016-08-31#post a store that sells nothing but olisbos]].
* KnifeNut: Throwing daggers are Moonflower's preferred weapon.
* LensFlare: Used stylistically in some panels, for example [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2017-08-14#post here]].
* MadScientist: The [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2018-04-30#post Amblerta chemist]] fits the archetype to a tee, with a lab coat, wild hair, and even an array of garishly-colored flasks behind him (although the last is justified, since he sells potions). His erratic mode of speech suggests he isn't all there, either.
* MeaningfulName: These are practically a given in Equestria, and most ponies are likely to have one. Trailblazer, for example, is adept at pathfinding, while Moonflower is a bat pony with a natural talent for herbalism.
* MermaidArcEmergence: Sea Swirl pulls off a magnificent one in [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2018-04-02#post this strip]]
* MightyGlacier: [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2016-09-21#post Steadfast the Immovable]]. He is an enormous pony who prefers to sit behind his armor and an enormous shield, waiting for the right moment to strike.
* MixAndMatchCritters: The [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2018-07-23#post spider-bear]].
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Dawn Break (Moondancer's older sister) first appeared in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', but wasn't named in-show.
* PaletteSwap: There's actually a potion called the Potion of Palette Swap, sold by the [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2018-04-30#post Amblerta chemist]]. Presumably it simply changes the hair, coat, and eye color of the drinker temporarily.
* PillarOfLight: [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2016-06-24#post Defeating the Titan of the Lake causes a beam of light to shoot into the sky.]]
* PowerPerversionPotential: Moonflower acquires a Ring of Alter Sex to change herself (or sometimes Trailblazer) into a stallion. Literally the first thing she does with it is use it for sex.
* RuleZero: Dawn Break is a cool enough GameMaster to allow [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2016-06-24#post a bit of cheating for the sake of a satisfying battle]].
* RunningGag: If all else is failing, players nearly always resort to making Trailblazer flirt as a last-ditch solution.
* ShearMenace: Tonsoria's weapon of choice is the "greatscissors" - literally a giant pair of scissors that has to be wielded two-handed.
* ShockAndAwe: Whirlpool uses a spell to electrify her tail flail.
* TailSlap: Whirlpool performs these in combat with her tail-mounted flail weapon. Sometimes with a dose of electricity for an added kick.
* ThatCameOutWrong:
--> '''Windcaller''': [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2016-01-23#post Do you sleep with a... bedtime toy?]] [[note]]He obviously meant a stuffed animal, but Moonflower was thinking of a [[ADateWithRosiePalms very different kind of bedtime toy]].[[/note]]
* TheTease: Trailblazer is a massive flirt - mostly because the readers are controlling her actions, although the creator certainly isn't doing much to discourage it.
* TemptingFate: [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2018-05-14#post "You agree to drink the experimental potion. How bad can it be?"]] [[note]]Things get a bit [[IncrediblyLamePun hairy]].[[/note]]
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Furia Storm is... ''less than happy'' about being imprisoned by ponies for hundreds of years. It's clear she's only a stone's throw away from just becoming a monster out of spite.
* TooDumbToLive: Because she is controlled by the players, Trailblazer occasionally makes some questionable decisions. Examples include:
** Attempting to pet a siren
** Drinking a completely unknown potion, for money
** Lying to Minuette about brushing her teeth
* TwentyPercentMoreAwesome: [[https://d20pony.equestriart.net/?page=2016-05-19#post "Roll for coolness."]]
* VerbalTic: Moonflower's lines are often punctuated by a high-pitched laugh ("Heeheehee!").
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Non-pony, in this case, but same principle. Ponies apparently have no qualms about locking up an (apparently) innocent siren indefinitely, purely because of the species reputation as a fearsome monster.
