Never heard of the GM, but the premise is fun and the cast are cool so I'm looking forward to how it and seeing how Gabe Hicks plays things. What system is it using, since it doesn't look like D'n'D stats on the character sheets?

He created the system himself according to the FAQ on dropout discord.

quote:

When does Shriek Week premiere?


Shriek Week premieres on Dropout.tv on Wednesday, November 10th, at 7pm EST / 4pm PST. Episodes will air every Wednesday.



How many episodes are in this season?


4 episodes.



Will there be associated Adventuring Party talkbacks for every episode?


There will be Adventuring Party talkbacks for every episode this season. Each episode was filmed after the preceding campaign episode recording, ala Misfits and Magic and The Seven, so there will not be a question submission form.



Does this season take place in the same universe as any other season?


No.



Is this season remotely shot or in-person?


This season was shot in-person. All cast and crew were following safety protocols and guidelines, however we were able to seat cast closer together than we were able to for Misfits and Magic or The Seven.



What game system does Shriek Week utilize?


The Mythic system, created by Gabe Hicks.


-When rolling an ability/skill/major you roll a d10

-You roll the number equal to what your skill is.

-Example: Having a Physical of 4 means you roll 4d10


A success is when you roll your die and at least one of them has a 7 or higher on the die.

Rolling a 1 with no successes (2-6) is a CRITICAL FAILURE
ex. results 2, 3, 5 = failure. results 1, 3, 5 = critical failure
Rolling a 10 is a CRITICAL SUCCESS
ex results 2, 3, 8 = success. results 1,5 10 = critical success

The mechanics will be further explained in the premiere episode.



Who are the cast and their characters?


Gabe Hicks (he / him): Game Master
Ify Nwadiwe (he / him) as Terry Talbo (he / him)
Terry is the son of the Wolfman
Stats:
Physical: 4
Mental: 3

Social: 2

Dani Fernandez (she / her) as Seven (she / her)

No Brennan this season.



Who is Gabe Hicks?


Gabe Hicks (https://www.gabejamesgames.com/) is a game designer, GM, cosplayer, and creative producer who has worked with Critical Role, Roll 20, Paizo, and more. Gabe has previously appeared on Adventuring Academy in 2020, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axFT5zXjgWg



Will there be physical battlesets this season?


There will not be.



Who is the character illustrator this season?

Any info on the season(s) coming after Shriek Week?


Yes. A season featuring Brennan Lee Mulligan as GM and the Intrepid Heroes cast (Emily Axford, Ally Beardsley, Brian Murphy, Zac Oyama, Siobhan Thompson, and Lou Wilson) will be premiering shortly after the finale of Shriek Week.

It'll be dope to see Ify back; I really enjoyed him in Bloodkeep and of course he's semi-responsible for the true breakout star of that season.

I thought Jeremy(I can't remember where all the apostrophes go) was mostly Trapp and Brennan?

This looks decent, similar mechanics to World of Darkness so relatively simple which is nice.

I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun, and I'll almost certainly enjoy it but every time it comes to a new season I'm just hankering for a second season of "Pirates of Leviathan", because the cast was stellar, all the characters were great and it's a really interesting setting. It's probably just a function of Pirates being my first D20 show though, so having some extra attachment to that one property.

I kinda slept on Game Changer and am working my way through now. The prize bin one was surprisingly both really funny and really sweet. And it kinda demonstrates the beauty of the premise of the series: This isn't a format that you could do as an ongoing game show, but as a one off it works great.

If you actually stopped to think about this statement, you'd realize the answer is "yes, he does."

(Also, Zac and Josh totally keep up with him, IMO.)

Brennan does shine in the sound impression episodes, but Zac and Josh give him enough of a run for his money that I wouldn't say he dominates them by any stretch. I'd say he tends to dominate a bit more when he appears on "Um, Actually...", but even there he often has some good competition and it just depends on who he's up against. That aside, this weeks "Breaking News" is fun just for the Erika getting an improv cue to name 10 teenagers and just...breaking, and realizing "oh gently caress, I'm getting old". The fact she gets so stuck she can't even name one, and everyone just has to move on is fantastic. I'm still not a fan of how much they're doing the improve cues in the show this season, but I do like the latest episodes giving the loser a task at the end.

I was being a little snarky, but I'm not sure how many of the other regular cast members would be able to keep up with those 3. Sam even says he came up with that gimmick specifically because he knew it was them doing the show.

I don't know how many Collegehumor regulars could do it, but the show has demonstrated that it's willing to look outside that box for guests at times so I'm sure there's other people in their circle doing VA work or what have you that could do it. I'd imagine Matthew Mercer or Liam O'Brien from Critical Role would be pretty good at it just going off the way they've stretched their voices for sound effects and different voices over the years, for one. I'm not sure if it'd extend to that degree, but they're the first ones to come to mind at least.

Well, to be fair, the show is a particular mix of both foley work and improv to end up with cues like "A 100 year old recording of a speech losing coherence", "MTA train announcement becoming self aware" and poo poo like that. Mercer is pretty good at thinking on his feet in D'n'D, but I don't know how that'd translate to comedic improv.

For me it was Brennan and the Prediction. Nicely played.

This was a decent episode and I'm drat glad they're back and in studio again, but it wasn't as good as "Lie Detector" or "Guess the Rule" which have been my favorites so far.

I will say the end had a moment with Brennan and Izzy that was very similar to the Lie Detector one in making you go "ohhh, that's why they're together".

I assume it's less a "good enough/deserve" comment and more of a "oh, okay, I can *really* now see how these two people click together as a couple" thing. :v:

First episode really good. High bar to set for the season, imo, and hope the rest follows just as excellent.

Yes it was that. The Lie Detector one was Izzy yelling "And you SHOULDN'T!" when Brennan protested that he trusted her and this one was both of them yelling at Sam for trying to semantic them into losing points for clapping at the end.

New M&M "Holiday Special" one-shot in December, followed by the core cast doing a science-fiction game, A Starstruck Odyssey, in January.

Fun fact: the original Starstruck was a stage play written by Brennan's mother Elaine Lee, which was later adapted into a series of comics at Marvel's Epic imprint, then Heavy Metal magazine and IDW. So the next big D20 campaign is Brennan playing with his mother's toys, as it were.

I only know Starstruck from the 1985 comic, which is a really strange read; it's one of those sexy distant futures with tons of unexplained argot, so it's a lot of work to get through it. I have no idea how it could be usefully adapted to a tabletop setting.
