If I had any idea how to change thread titles I'd probably update it to "Umm...Actually, I think you'll find it's just Dropout now and we discuss more than just Dimension 20".

Um, Actually, whichever mod changed the thread title forgot to say "um, actually" - no points for them

Starstruck hooked me about halfway through Sundry Sidney's introduction. I love her.

I've only watched one episode of Starstruck so far but it's main effect has been to make me realize just how bland the Starfield universe is by comparison. There's just so much flavor and personality in Starstruck, and Starfield seems to actively choose to pick the tamest option possible at every juncture.

Caught the first episode of Burrow's End:

Random speculation:
I'm not saying the villain of the season is Man, but... it might be Man. Anyway, here's some random thoughts because I haven't had enough time to form a coherent thesis:

- Blue is one of the more uncommon colors in nature, so it makes sense that it's being portrayed as an otherworldly thing here.
- With the stoats having Blue in their eyes and an implication that it plays some role in their burrow's founding may mean we have a rats of NIHM type situation, just a few generations removed so it's all been lost to legend...
- Having seem a few of Aabria's games, the mysterious gas is either going to completely unexplainable, or a very specifc, real thing that she can pull factoids out about later. Blue and a squeaky-noise immediately makes me think of some sort of plastic-based material, like a vinyl fabric or something. There are several plastic-related gases that can be quite deadly, although the combination of heavier-than-air, colored, and smelling of metal is not immediately coming to mind. Maybe she was writing this right after that train wreck in February that dumped all the plastic chemicals?


I thought the cast did a great job of immediately gelling. Excited to see where this goes!

Trying to guess the 'thing' that made Aabria want to use d&d for this campaign. I notice that the player stats seen to be rolled instead of point-buy. Could it be as simple as that? The arbitraryness of nature means some characters are just going to be way more capable than others? Hmm...

Not much talk here about the new d20 run, but all the social media stuff I'm seeing implies that something wild is going to happen in today's episode.

There's video of the cast seeing the (offcamera) battlemap and flipping out, and apparently this episode will have a tag for 'LOTS of body horror'.
