This page is for a [[Spin-Off]] of the Major Spoilers [[Pod CastPodcast]], in which the hosts and a couple of their friends play in a 4th Edition [[Dungeons and Dragons]] campaign. The team is made up of gamers who are completely new to Dungeons and Dragons, those who have been playing since Third Edition, and even one guy who’s been playing since the AD&D days.
 
The plot of the campaign follows a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] as they try to stop The Void, a group of [[Eldritch Abomination|Insane Gods]], from invading their plane of existence. The first and second seasons had them racing to keep the [[Colony Drop|Moon from smashing into the Earth]], and now, in the third season, they've been recruited by a [[Celestial Bureaucracy|Higher Power]] to help cleanse a part of the Astral Sea of the remaining Lunar Monsters. The group includes [[Squishy Wizard|Orem Rivendorn]] of the Eladrin, [[Big Guy|Halston Thorkelson aka "Torq"]], [[Gadgeteer Genius|Randus du Thane]], and [[Mysterious Past|Smith the Sorcerer]],{{spoiler|who has since been replaced by}} [[Loveable Rogue|Ket]] the Half-Elf Warlock. In Season Four, they're joined by an elf ranger, Trelle.
Line 26:
** Bao Bel-Bina is a tiefling Avenger who serves Erathis.
** The third is Trelle, an elf ranger that recently joined the party.
* [[Adventure -Friendly World]]: The world is being attacked by insane extraterrestrial gods, who send their monstrous creations to attack, as well as having built towers on the Earth and the moon to draw them together.
* [[Adventure Towns]]: Moonhold, The Exilarchy of Cogs' city, and Diamond Throne.
* [[Alien Sky]]: Two: One happens after The Void's first attempt to {{spoiler|smash the moon into the Earth}}, described by Rodrigo as constantly red, filled with clouds and roiling lightning. The second is when the heroes are {{spoiler|transported to the moon,}} described as a bubble surrounding the planet with a blurry view of the planet itself.
Line 77:
* [[Running Gag]]: Torq jumping out windows.
** "Uhhhhh, funnelcake?"
* [[Shout -Out]]: Considering this is a show with 5 nerds, pretty much every episode contains a few references to movies, whether it's something one of the players say, or something within the campaign itself.
* [[Straight Gay]]: While Trelle does seem hesitant to admit that {{spoiler|she used to date Orem's sister}} it seems to be more because of an awkward discussion due to who was listening at the time, rather than her being unwilling to share the fact.
* [[The Roleplayer]]: Matthew appears to to be a glorious mix of this and [[The Loonie]].
