with misfits & magic season ii coming out on 9/25, it's time for a spreadsheet update!

links to the relevant sheets:

thisisnotthenerd's d20 stats: the og spreadsheet. where this all started.

d20 episode randomizer: watch orders! go here to see all of the episodes listed in various ways, and to pick a random episode!

d20 seating chart stats: the table and how it plays out every season. check the compiled chart for basics on each character

anyways, on to the stats!

general stats:

total episode count: 251, spread over 22 seasons.

there have been 8 main cast / intrepid heroes seasons, that make up 147 of the 251 episodes, or 58.5% of the total count. if we include oneshots in this count, the count goes up to 151 of 251, for 60.1%.

total runtime: 541:54:53. that's 3 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours, 54 minutes and 53 seconds of dimension 20.

average runtime: 2:09:32. the median is 2:08:32, which i thought was funny. the episode that's closest to the average, with 2:09:33, is 'the house always wins' from a starstruck odyssey.

some more recent updates: never stop blowing up has the third-shortest average (1:49:18), following fantasy high (1:39:43) and coffin run (1:43:16).

nsbu is the shortest of the 10-episode seasons, with a total runtime of 18:12:59. compare that to the longest 10-episode season, the seven, with a runtime of 23:55:12.

for mismag, this is our first sidequest sequel season. aabria is the first guest dm to get a sequel season of her own (matt is a little diff by virtue of brennan running acoc). it's the first KOB sequel season as well--that speaks well for d20 expanding their game systems.

mechanically, they're now using a version of nsbu called never stop making magic, so i'll be tracking stat explosions this season as well. i do think d20 is leaning towards expanding the systems they use, so we'll see how they continue to expand going forward.

it's also the first odd-numbered sidequest season, with 11 episodes. by december 5, we'll have had 16 episodes in the world of mismag, which is just under a main cast season.

player stats:

aabria's back in the dome for her 7th season, and 4th as the game master! with an 11 ep season she's up to 59 episodes, and remains the most common guest on d20. at this point she's the second in-house dm. she has the Q4 10-ep season on lock. the first sidequest sequel season is hers.

brennan is up to 21 seasons and 257 episodes (including time quangle and mismag ii). he now has 2 seasons on the right, evening his split out a little bit (3:2)

lou has dethroned ally and taken the top player spot, with 12 season and 187 episodes. he has a new fave seat, with 4 seasons in L1 as well as R3.

erika isn't far behind aabria, with 47 episodes and 6 seasons. they're split between L3 and R2 (2 each)

danielle's joining the ranks of what i consider the recurring guest cast, with 3 seasons and 22 episodes under her belt. she's behind rekha and izzy (tied with 36), erika, and aabria.

production notes:

in terms of production, the release of the time quangle episodes puts us at 45-46 episodes for 2024, depending on when the december releases start. this also sets us at a total of 268 episodes by the end of 2024.

if we include all of the adventuring parties, adventuring academies and various other d20 auxiliary content, 2024 might take the cake for the most total episodes, dethroning 2021.

i'm guessing that this was the first season filmed after brennan's parental leave, so they're probably still 6 months to a year ahead of the releases

production calendar is looking like main cast season in Q1-Q2, varying number of sidequests/oneshots through Q2 and Q3, with aabria/another guest dm in Q3-Q4. depending on when aabria's season starts, they may start the intrepid heroes' season in Q4 going into the following year. general disclaimer that this is just a guess.

The Magical Misfits were chaotic enough in their 4 episodes (and a holiday special) with the Kids on Brooms system. I can't wait to see what they do while armed with this new system 👀

i'm hopeful about the new d20 and will give it a chance, but it is a little frustrating seeing a mostly cis cast return to a setting that is ultimately an intentional harry potter parody. the "fuck terfs" stuff in the official art never sat right with me because it felt tongue in cheek performative in a way that made me uncomfortable. like "as long as we say the right things we can still harry potter guys!!"

i think i'd feel different if erika weren't the only openly trans person in the cast (last i remember) - but i digress. i'm hopeful that they'll move in a more generalized magic school direction and divorce from the hp parody all together.

i love the cast and characters and aabria is a wonderful dm, i just think they can do something more original and hope they do so, especially since they made another new system for it, yk?

I like the idea of bat kevin being flying fox big, but also pretty small so like streber or someone else can just pick him up while he squeaks in protest

Bat Kevin time!

I'm not sure what species of bat he would be but I imagine hes palm sized, enough to grab him, which happens often because he usually transforms when he is scared or stressed.

Also, This ask made me do a little Google search on bat species and I came across the philippine bat which...

"Stop looking like the dead or you'll end up as one!"

"hey-"

"AAAH-!!"

what are the never stop blowing up predictions

i think celebrities-gone-nuclear could b fun and would fit both definitions of the title.. would love some play it by ear/karaoke night improvisers as musicians for this

saw some heist movie guesses which i LOVE but idk since tiny heist was already that. action spy movie?

brennan’s outfit looks post-apocalyptic which i also love 👀 also the trailer outfit with the tie looks very 80s.. cold war spoof? or disaster movie?

console looks techy

super curious abt the game system. kids on bikes ? something else?

[bruqh]

uh hey so is danielle insinuating what i think she is???

[sinplasm]

Oh god
