#coffin run d20

[dropoutconfessions]

While there are a lot of reasons why it wouldn't be realistic, I'm sort of curious to see what a long-form D20 campaign would be like. I often feel that D20 campaigns (especially the Intrepid Heroes campaigns) struggle with pacing and tone in their endings and epilogues. The cast spends most of the season exploring plot hooks and character moments, but then all of a sudden there's only two or three episodes left and they've got to wrap up the main plot threads while giving the main characters enough of a resolution for their season arcs such that while a sequel /could/ be possible, there doesn't /have/ to be. As a result, endings can sometimes feels rushed or less thought through, particularly if the filming schedule/season has been intense. I don't think this is entirely down to having limited-run seasons, but I am curious what the cast could do in a longer-form campaign without a set episode count, where they're able to take as much time as they want/need to explore the story and develop their characters.

Not to say that short-form campaigns are always rushed, Coffin Run for example is a fantastic example of a limited series that maintains excellent pacing throughout and satisfactory character arcs for all the PCs. My curiosity is largely based on FHSY, which I think has some of the best consistency re. story pacing and character journeys among the Intrepid Heroes seasons, and which was also a livestreamed season rather than filmed ahead of time. Even with the last-minute extended finale because of COVID, it felt as if the cast had more room to improvise and let things play out and even develop comedy bits to feed back into the story as character moments instead of just being random bits of humor.

Just spent the past some amount of hours putting all dimension 20 episodes (only including episodes where they are actively playing DnD) into an alphabetical list for the worst d20 watching experience possible!!!!

It starts with the first episode of acofaf and ends with the last episode of acofaf so maybe it's just the worst way to watch acofaf.

you cannot convince me that Brennan didn’t watch coffin run and see the train problem come up no less than two seperate times and a later be planning exam questions with Zac as a math guy and go “hey you know what would be really funny”

Rewatching Coffin Run - does anyone get the vibe that there's bad blood or annoyance or something between Izzy Roland and Carlos Luna?

I don't blame you for feeling that way, but I think you may be another in the long line of people reading into character roleplay and thinking they have actual beef. Izzy was playing a very intense character, and Carlos was playing a very positive go get em type. It was largely natural character type clash. Pretty sure they were having fun with it is all.

Ok! Question for D20 fans cuz I'm pondering this. Hypothetically, what would be your dream concept/genre and guest cast for a Dimension 20 season?
