ok: the spreadsheet is updated [thisisnotthenerd's d20 stats]
so is the other spreadsheet [D20 Episode Randomizer]
both will continue updating throughout the season, with character data and episode data, so keep an eye out.
random stats for you to enjoy:
brennan is in the dome for his 20th season, 16th as GM
ally is tied with lou for most seasons in the dome as a player (11) and will overtake him in episode count by the end of the season, with 173 to lou's 170
rekha and izzy are tied with brennan for seasons as players (4), and tied for episodes (36). they've played two of their four individual seasons together (T7 & NSBU).
ify moves up to the 3-season group, with a total of 20 episodes.
alex is back for their second kids on bikes season, capping out at 16 episodes
jacob is in the dome for the first time! we're so glad to have him
R2 is officially ally's seat, given that they've spent 5 seasons and 77/173 episodes in it
in terms of the players, we're at a completely even gender split: 2 female, 2 male, 2 nonbinary.
with this season, we break 250 episodes of dimension 20
we're up to a total of 523 hours, 41 minutes, and 54 seconds. that's roughly 21.8 days, or three weeks of dimension 20, before the season starts. the average episode length is 2:10:23, and median is 2:09:08.
as for the season:
i love the concept--d20 does genre pastiche really well; they're taking an already campy concept and making it campier. they're digging into the comedy sandbox in a fun, chaotic, balls-to-the-wall way this go-around. and what a cast to do it with.
this combines multiple forms of 80's nostalgia in a way that the cast can play in easily; there are a lot of elements to play with on multiple character levels
we're back with a kids on bikes reskin, much like mentopolis. i think it's going to continue to be a staple because the system is simple enough for people to jump in quickly, it's easy to reskin with varying stats, and it has a lot of room for improvisers to play with. right now it's functionally d20's second system, with three seasons on the docket. everyone say thank you aabria for introducing kids on bikes to the dome.
the dual layer of characters is a fun flavor to add--it's just an extra filter that we get to see the cast work with, and not something we've particularly seen them do before. they aren't just playing the movie characters, they're playing them in the way that they think their original characters would perceive the archetypes.
in conjunction with that: kids on bikes lends itself well to playing with archetypes--we saw it in both mentopolis and misfits & magic. we're looking at a few here in NSBU: the action hero [car and gun variants], the femme fatale, the debonair spy, the mob boss, and the hacker.
in other words, i can't wait for june 26th!
