''Knights of Buena Vista'' is a CampaignComic covering mainly the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon and a few other {{Creator/Disney}} works and {{Creator/Pixar}} films.
''{{Disney/Frozen}}'' is the first work to be covered, as all the {{player character}}s die in battle, including the king and queen of Arendelle (a kingdom they founded). Fortunately those players move on to their daughters, and we follow the subsequent adventures as Elsa is crowned queen.
The group consists of:
* '''Walter''', the GameMaster.
* '''Adriana''', a min-maxer who played the king before is currently playing Elsa.
* '''Mary''', who played the queen and is now playing Anna.
* '''Bill''', who is Mary's boyfriend and is playing Hans.
* '''Ilene''', who is going to play Olaf, but is playing the unseen regent of Arendelle until she can get the kinks worked out.
* '''Dick''', who is playing Kristoff.
[[http://elsaletyoufinish.tumblr.com/post/87419793983/kobv-frozen-0001 This is the first strip, and links to all following strips.]]
'''Warning: This comic will have spoilers for the films shown.'''

!!Tropes in the comic and author's notes:
* AdaptationExpansion: Scenes are made up, happen off panel, and are then discussed later.
** There [[WhatCouldHaveBeen was going to be such a character]] in ''Frozen'' but was cut. Ilene plays him until she sorts out how to make her snowman character stronger.
* AngstWhatAngst: [[invoked]]Adraiana needs just a few extra points, and decides on the tragic backstory flaw, asking Mary if her character nearly killed Mary's character accidentally when they were kids. Mary thinks that's awesome, and Dick snarks about how they're making out childhood trauma to be a cool thing.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Although Walter thinks barons are more evil than dukes, so he makes Weselton a baron instead.
* BadBadActing: Mary's in character acting is really bad, and Walter bites his tongue to avoid saying anything. The way it's written out is extreme pauses similar to Creator/WilliamShatner. The exception is when there is action involved.
* BattleAmongstTheFlames: When Mary guesses that Hans might be a villain, she says she hopes he and Anna have "an epic battle over a live volcano".
* BishieSparkle: When Anna falls for Hans, Mary describes it as seeing sparkles around his face.
* DeadpanSnarker: Dick is this in the group, but others have their moments.
* DiscreditedMeme:[[invoked]] Although Walter's swear jar isn't serious, he does have "an overused reference jar", and is serious about it.
* DoomedHometown: This is what Ilene says is Olaf's backstory, but it's likely not going to turn out that way.
* DumpStat: Mary considers charisma to be this, and is shocked that Bill focused on it.
* FailedASpotCheck: Mary rolls a 2 when it turns out Anna is running along the same street Hans is riding. That's how Anna falls into the boat.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Walter fixes a good for Adriana (being hated and feared changed to only if her powers are revealed), but says he won't fudge another one.
* GenreSavvy: As soon as Walter describes Weselton, all five players call him out as a bad guy. Walter can't even deny it.
* GoingFurASwim: Anna mentions that wearing fur isn't too warm for summer, especially over a swimsuit.
* GRatedDrug: Mary chooses a random addiction flaw, and it's chocolate.
* AnIcePerson: Adriana decides she wants to play Elsa as an ice sorceress, so like the movie, no further explanation for her powers are given.
* ImMelting: Subverted when Bill thinks Ilene's {{Snowlem}} character will melt in the summer, but it just turns out he will loose a hell of a lot of defense points in the heat (then Ilene realizes even that would be a problem).
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: Subverted. Mary wants to play Anna as one, but Walter says there are no ninja in the setting. She settles on "acrobat" as the closest thing.
* ItsFakeFurItsFine: The author's notes says that if a reader prefers, just say that Mary's furs are faux.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: {{Justified| Trope}} when Mary specifically points out that Anna's PimpedOutDress for the coronation has enough pleats on the skirt to do a RoundhouseKick without any penalties.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Bill has this as a charisma bonus, and that's how Anna falls for him.
* MinMaxing: Adriana overdoes this a lot, from a past incident which nearly started a war, to giving Elsa ice magic too strong to control.
** Mary does a more reasonable amount of this to give Anna some agility points.
* MoreThanMindControl: The "Love At First Sight" bonus is not a mind control ability, so Anna falls for it despite having immunity to charm.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: When Anna goes out to patrol the capital, Adriana says "what are you, Princess Cop?". Mary responds, "No, but I would watch every episode of that show!".
* NoodleIncident: Walter isn't pleased with how much Elsa's [[AnIcePerson ice abilities]] have been beefed up, and mentions the last time she tried to max up like that, which involved her flaws actually requiring [[Disney/TheSwordInTheStone "that the land would be torn by war"]].
* NoSocialSkills: One of the flaws Mary chooses for Anna.
* NotAMorningPerson: One of the flaws Mary chose for Anna. Bedhead is also included, and Adriana is surprised that isn't a flaw. Mary is surprised Adriana doesn't have that section already memorized.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Being that Disney films aren't the most action-oriented, a few extra a thrown in "off panel".
** The battle in the first strip. All that's stated is that the pirate "Blackbrace" has been slain, the king of Arendelle bit a squid man and lost modifiers due to setting off allergies, and that a giant shark pulled the ship down.
** Instead of just meeting Hans, Anna is off to stop a robbery she overhears. Afterwards it turns out that the robbers might actually be thugs working for someone.
* OhCrap: Walter's reaction to seeing Elsa's character sheet.
* PhysicalGod: "Living God" is how strong Adriana makes Elsa's ice powers. Yet being that strong when a character is level one is considered a bad thing.
* PowerIncontinence: Elsa's chance of accidentally casting ice magic is a whopping 90%.
* PowerLimiter: Elsa's gloves reduce the chance of accidentally using her powers by 80%.
* PrettyInMink: It's mentioned that Elsa's [[PimpedOutCape coronation cape]] was going to have ermine lining, but she sold off the pelts for a load of money. Her in character excuse was that all that fur would be too warm for summer.
** Mary has a number of furs, coming from a wealthy family.
* TheRealMan: Mary wants Anna to be a martial artist, and only really gets into character when there is action involved.
* SarcasmMode: Bill does this when he perceives Dick's character to be a bit boring (he changed his mind later).
* ShoutOut: The names of the players refers to voice actors for some of the first Disney animated films, and the GM is named for Creator/WaltDisney.
** The mega shark that pulls the ship down is a reference to ''Film/MegaSharkVsGiantOctopus''.
** Mary mentions "hadouken" from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' and how she doesn't need those to knock a monster on its butt.
** Bill says Hans is "[[Film/ANewHope on a diplomatic mission to Arendelle]]".
** The author admits he isn't a serious roleplayer, so while some inaccuracies are likely, he will make sure to avoid anything on the level of ''Film/MazesAndMonsters''.
** Although not TheLoonie, Adriana has run into similar GM vetos as [[Blog/ThingsMrWelchIsNoLongerAllowedToDoInAnRPG Mr. Welch]].
** When Anna hears robbers say "Your money or your life", she responds "Hang on, [[Radio/TheJackBennyProgram Jack Benny]]!".
** When Anna falls for Hans, Mary says that she hears the love theme from ''{{Film/Airplane}}''.
* ShowWithinAShow: Similar to how ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' doesn't use a defined game, this comic uses a fictional game called "[=FantasiaLand=]" which is a roleplaying game based on {{Fairy Tale}}s instead of HighFantasy.
* SwearJar: Walter has one, but it's less from being against swearing than a way to pay for pizza for the group.
* TalkingAnimal: Played with. Sven still can't talk, but instead of talking for him, Kristoff thinks Sven can actually talk.
* TotalPartyKill: The comic starts off with the king and queen of Arendelle, and other unseen player characters, dying in battle with pirates.
* UptownGirl: Mary to Bill.
* WildMassGuessing: InUniverse. After Bill passes a note to the GM, Mary makes a lot of guesses as to who Hans might be, from a spy to a demigod.

->'''Mary:''' "Dibs on playing her spunky, plucky sister!"
''Knights of Buena Vista'' is a CampaignComic covering mainly the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon and a few other {{Creator/Disney}} works and {{Creator/Pixar}} films.
''{{Disney/Frozen}}'' is the first work to be covered, as all the {{player character}}s die in battle, including the king and queen of Arendelle (a kingdom they founded). Fortunately those players move on to their daughters, and we follow the subsequent adventures as Elsa is crowned queen.
The group consists of:
* '''Walter''', the GameMaster.
* '''Adriana''', a min-maxer who played the king before is currently playing Elsa.
* '''Mary''', who played the queen and is now playing Anna.
* '''Bill''', who is Mary's boyfriend and is playing Hans.
* '''Ilene''', who is going to play Olaf, but is playing the unseen regent of Arendelle until she can get the kinks worked out.
* '''Dick''', who is playing Kristoff.
[[http://elsaletyoufinish.tumblr.com/post/87419793983/kobv-frozen-0001 This is the first strip, and links to all following strips.]]
'''Warning: This comic will have spoilers for the films shown.'''
----
!!Tropes in the comic and author's notes:
* AdaptationExpansion: Scenes are made up, happen off panel, and are then discussed later.
** There [[WhatCouldHaveBeen was going to be such a character]] in ''Frozen'' but was cut. Ilene plays him until she sorts out how to make her snowman character stronger.
* AngstWhatAngst: [[invoked]]Adraiana needs just a few extra points, and decides on the tragic backstory flaw, asking Mary if her character nearly killed Mary's character accidentally when they were kids. Mary thinks that's awesome, and Dick snarks about how they're making out childhood trauma to be a cool thing.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Although Walter thinks barons are more evil than dukes, so he makes Weselton a baron instead.
* BadBadActing: Mary's in character acting is really bad, and Walter bites his tongue to avoid saying anything. The way it's written out is extreme pauses similar to Creator/WilliamShatner. The exception is when there is action involved.
* BattleAmongstTheFlames: When Mary guesses that Hans might be a villain, she says she hopes he and Anna have "an epic battle over a live volcano".
* BishieSparkle: When Anna falls for Hans, Mary describes it as seeing sparkles around his face.
* DeadpanSnarker: Dick is this in the group, but others have their moments.
* DiscreditedMeme:[[invoked]] Although Walter's swear jar isn't serious, he does have "an overused reference jar", and is serious about it.
* DoomedHometown: This is what Ilene says is Olaf's backstory, but it's likely not going to turn out that way.
* DumpStat: Mary considers charisma to be this, and is shocked that Bill focused on it.
* FailedASpotCheck: Mary rolls a 2 when it turns out Anna is running along the same street Hans is riding. That's how Anna falls into the boat.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Walter fixes a good for Adriana (being hated and feared changed to only if her powers are revealed), but says he won't fudge another one.
* GenreSavvy: As soon as Walter describes Weselton, all five players call him out as a bad guy. Walter can't even deny it.
* GoingFurASwim: Anna mentions that wearing fur isn't too warm for summer, especially over a swimsuit.
* GRatedDrug: Mary chooses a random addiction flaw, and it's chocolate.
* AnIcePerson: Adriana decides she wants to play Elsa as an ice sorceress, so like the movie, no further explanation for her powers are given.
* ImMelting: Subverted when Bill thinks Ilene's {{Snowlem}} character will melt in the summer, but it just turns out he will loose a hell of a lot of defense points in the heat (then Ilene realizes even that would be a problem).
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: Subverted. Mary wants to play Anna as one, but Walter says there are no ninja in the setting. She settles on "acrobat" as the closest thing.
* ItsFakeFurItsFine: The author's notes says that if a reader prefers, just say that Mary's furs are faux.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: {{Justified| Trope}} when Mary specifically points out that Anna's PimpedOutDress for the coronation has enough pleats on the skirt to do a RoundhouseKick without any penalties.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Bill has this as a charisma bonus, and that's how Anna falls for him.
* MinMaxing: Adriana overdoes this a lot, from a past incident which nearly started a war, to giving Elsa ice magic too strong to control.
