absolutely obsessed with the idea of the dream team’s kids becoming heroes of the unsleeping city like their parents, so i drew what that might look like! i was inspired by comics like young avengers and runaways for their designs.

I just wanted to comment on this with the release or TUC 2 and say i’m overjoyed with the Jewish representation. Especially with another theme about capitalism and gentrification in New York, this season has handled Jewish characters perfectly. I adored it and will continue to adore it as the story unfolds. Rabbi Mike Salters made me cry because he rocks so much. They even included my favorite golem feature— אמת / מת!

On Representation in Dimension 20

Anyone interact!

Hi, I’m Jewish. Ethnically, culturally, religiously- the whole shebang. I also adore Dimension 20. Dimension 20, along with Naddpod and Sirens of the Realms, has sparked my interest in D&D which has brought me so much joy and friendship and community.

I just finished my second rewatch of The Unsleeping City, this time with my mom. She also liked it, and I was happy to show it to her. One of the characters I was most excited to show her was Willy. A Golem who is actually a protector! And is actually Jewish! When I heard Brennan sprinkle Yiddish words into Willy’s vocabulary for the first time, I paused the video and took a full minute to enjoy my excitement. My mom wasn’t overjoyed, though. She was a little off put about Golems portrayal as monsters in dnd as a whole. And in other seasons of Dimension 20. And we had a discussion about Robert Moses.

Robert Moses (1888-1981) was a real life historical figure. He was also a scumbag real estate developer. He was also Jewish. Because he was real, I wasn’t bothered by his depiction as a greedy, money and power-hungry vampire-adjacent villain. Because he was some of those things. But DnD’s mechanics refer to Lich’s Phylacteries as small boxes with evil language scrolls binding their souls. I know phylacteries as small boxes with Hebrew words written inside that are used in daily prayers. I mean, that’s the main definition of the word. So I was confused. With more digging into the etymology, here’s what google says: “late Middle English: via late Latin from Greek phulaktērion ‘amulet’, from phulassein ‘to guard’.” So, it could mean a guarding amulet, which Lich’s phylacteries aren’t. They’re boxes. With secret foreign language scrolls. And the google results for Tefillin/phylacteries is half discussion of how they’re evil horcruxes. Which makes sense in dnd.

This is not the D20 teams fault. I know and respect that they work with sensitivity consultants. I know and respect that Izzy, Brennan’s girlfriend, is Jewish herself. This is not a callout post! I’m not sure what this is other than a conversation starter I suppose.

Someone on Twitter recently said “Brennan creating such diverse characters is so anti white man energy of him and that’s very sexy.” This tweet was roundly criticized; as Brennan has said, this should be expected and not particularly praiseworthy. I do think it’s been wonderful having representation in D20, especially for the LGBT community (of which I am a part.)

I guess I’m making this post because I told someone about how the evil secret power hunger phylactery-ness and they said I was being sensitive and trying to be oppressed, because D20 HAS good representation. This is a person who i haven’t heard say similar things, ever. So I was shaken.

I just want other people on d20 tumblr to share their opinions with me: how should we approach questions of the rules and systems of Dnd as they relate to Dimension 20? Especially now that WOTC is showing their willful disrespect and incompetence... and what do people think about using a real person as a villain in dnd? POC, how do you feel characters of color have been represented? How should we deal with speaking about the challenge to need diverse characters and also have a cis straight white male dm portray them?

currently obsessed with the fact that cody was manager at hot topic for YEARS. he had to interview and hire people. he had to make a schedule. i know from experience the bar is not high for ending up in a supervisor position in jobs like that, but he still had to be good enough at retail to not only remain employed for a long time but also not be the worst possible option to promote. basically what i'm saying is cody "night angel" walsh has a Customer Service Voice and i want to hear it

finally finishing last week’s Unsleeping City and like. bless you Ally for having Brennan make the Cloisters Unicorn of Unicorn Murder Room fame say the words “spicy pigeon” three times in a row

[buccaneerbuddies]

apparently murph and brennan, in the creation of cody, talked about him maybe being a part of an occult secret society that was within the hot topic which they eventually didn’t go with but. there is absolutely an occult secret society within the nyc hot topics that he just wasn’t invited to because they didn’t think he was cool enough
