Dropout's Dimension 20 returns with its 26th season, Cloudward, Ho, introducing a steampunk setting for the first time. Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan leads a cast of familiar players, all opting to play non-magical human characters in a narrative focused on exploration and personal quests. The story juxtaposes adventure with nostalgia, showcasing characters motivated by different desires, from seeking lost family to pursuing fortune. The gameplay reflects a departure from typical D&D magic-heavy roles, embracing the steampunk aesthetic while maintaining the spirit of collaborative storytelling.
The steampunk genre presents a unique challenge for the D&D system, which is built for high-fantasy narratives rather than the more mechanical elements of steampunk.
In Cloudward, Ho, players are limiting themselves to humans and non-spellcasters, making it a refreshing departure from typical D&D character choices.
This season combines adventure and absurdity, drawing inspiration from Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet, making it a unique storytelling experience.
The characters' goals and backgrounds add depth, with themes of fortune, nostalgia, and camaraderie woven throughout their exploration of a fabled continent.
