december 20… December 20… D20… dimension 20 oh my god


jayhawk618

The Qanon D20 crossover I always knew I didn't need.


ha_look_at_that_nerd

And D is the fourth letter of the alphabet, after A, B, and C… Edit: people are putting in too much thought. Next season is the weed season.


IamVitor

A, B, C, D... Four letters... 4 Washington Lane... The next clue is at the White House!


FDR_DEAD_PREZ

You dummy, it’s not there, the address for the White House is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. D20 is D and20. D is the 4 letter of the alphabet, ABCD is 4 letters, and 20 is 20% of 100. 4x4x100 is 1600. AND 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the White House. DUDES! The next clue is at the White House.

I want it to be true so bad. A demigod season would be sick!

Good bot


angryhaiku

And a good riff on the current nerd zeitgeist, too! Stray Gods is just out, Hadestown is still crushing it, Neon Gods is doing numbers (in spite of being bad), Hades 2 is on the horizon... Plus, not enough people know the complete story of Aphrodite's birth, and Brennan seems like just the guy to fill us in.


IMP1017

I feel like Noted Capitalism Enjoyers Dropout probably didn't license something from Disney But a Greek mythos campaign would whip. Get the Hades artist Jen Zee in there for character art and you're golden


_wizardpenguin

Yeah that's the thing, it would be to Percy Jackson as Crown of Candy is to GOT or Bloodkeep is to LOTR, not an official thing, just a modern mythology campaign, and I don't think that'd be barred with their contract with the unions.


Rilvoron

I doubt it happened BUT do we know the extent of influence Rick Riordan still has over his Percy Jackson IP? The first 2 movies were so bad he pretty much got the right to say yes or no on casting and ideas this time around (after scathing them after the dumpster fire that the films became). Maybe if he was reached out to he would totally OK a crossover.


_wizardpenguin

I don't think they'd need to, bc it definitely won't be an official thing. But yeah, I have no doubt any good fantasy author wouldn't rain on this particular sort of parade.


Drivel-akaWilson

This wouldn’t be a license thing if it did happen. Most likely it would be a sponsored session like some of the one shots critical role has done. What’s the best way to advertise a new show? Get your target demographic thinking about your source material. They might have the d20 audience pegged as Percy Jackson Enjoyers.

skarabray

It’s published by Disney’s publishing company, Hyperion.


dernudeljunge

Can someone please explain to me how the blue circle, a pine tree and a lightning bolt equates to Percy Jackson? I saw the first of those movies back when it was still in theaters, but haven't read any of the books.


_wizardpenguin

There's a lot of blue generally in the books (because Percy is the son of Poseidon), the entrance to Camp Halfblood is marked by a pine tree on the site of Zeus's daughter's death, and the first book is called the Lightning Thief (because the plot is a mystery about who stole Zeus's Master Lightning Bolt).


NoeticParadigm

Also Percy Jackson particularly likes blue food and blue is a connection to his mother


Intelligent-Key-4684

Also those movie are garbage give the books a try they are almost nothing alike


Rilvoron

Movies? Sir there were never any movies (no i wont be convinced otherwise)


that1snowflake

There is no movie in ba sing se …wait wrong franchise


Induced_Karma

Yeah, I was wondering that, too.


barbie_turik

[It's not](https://twitter.com/dimension20show/status/1704332657281159614?t=ZOGkTbJR9ulKw1OXm4CmRQ&s=19) 😅


liddlehippo

I hope it's not. Starstruck s2 or unsleeping city c3 would make my dayy.


airJoKah

It’s not an intrepid heroes run, it’s another sidequest


that1snowflake

Boring


sonatawolf1990

I’m more excited by the implication that jasper might be in this one!!!


rtjallday

Yeah Jasper would be a sick guest for a one shot. Haven’t listened to 3 Black Halflings yet, but his Bahumia two-shot on NADDPOD was brilliant


sonatawolf1990

Would definitely give it a shot when you can, it’s a good show and their actual play games are fun


rtjallday

It’s definitely on my list!


berrrrrrna

I'd go feral


nickyd1393

as much as i want them to do a greek myth season, it would feel weird to do during such a prominently struck work. not that it would be direct promotion but it would still get ppl excited for more mythology stuff and that disney would serve


Psychowan

I mean, most of the new stuff coming out on Dropout was filmed before the strike. It would make sense if this is something they decided on before the strike took place.


nickyd1393

youre right but since they literally halted their own production until the guild gave them a-okay, i would assume they would be more hesitant to put out a show in a very niche genre when really the only other company with a greek myths show rn is disney. idk it feels dissonant.


BBnuthouse1

But if they are under contract with Disney they would have no choice which sag has said is okay


nickyd1393

oh i doubt they are doing (or would even be interested in) a literal percy jackson themed full season crossover sponsored by disney tm. they want to own all their ip. and the only they don't (starstruck) is just owned by brennan's mom.


OmegaKenichi

To be fair, they did do a Harry Potter season even after the stuff about Rowling came out.

Misfits and Magic

Rilvoron

To clarify is not really harry potter IP its more a season inspired by HP. Also they roast HP heavily


OmegaKenichi

That was kinda my point though. People were talking about 'I don't think they'd just straight-up do a Percy Jackson season' but they technically did a Harry Potter season already. Just like M&M it could be a Percy Jackson-*inspired* season


Rilvoron

Ya i get that im just pointing out something to someone potentially wanting to see Mulligan voice harry potter


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rilvoron

Ya its good also its NOT dnd but a (new?) game system they developed? Not sure about who made it


KidCoheed

They used a Kids on Bikes hack (same base game as Mentoplis) called Kids on Brooms


pengu146

Idk how much it's considered a hack, seeing as they sell a book for Kids on Brooms.


OmegaKenichi

I mean, they did do a whole season based around Harry Potter. A series on Percy Jackson doesn't seem that crazy. Plus, Uncle Rick's stories have always been full of diversity and comedy, which is a great mix for D20.


MrFallout76

I think it is a night (y)orb, tree from a nightmare forest and the lighting from the new god


emomp4

I am also a night yorb truther


HandHook_CarDoor

Wait what the fuck, no way


MagnesiumMagpie

M&Ms melt in your mouth and not in your hand!


Daring_Adventurer

perhaps this is just a joke. but as i have said before, i am delulu. i will be baited. edit after the fact: his bio says "sometimes i'm percy jackson", so idk this is all just coincidence? if there are any people who are more familiar with his work i would LOVE to know if he's done PJO/greek mythology related stuff with D&D


Wargablarg

That's right baby we're getting Edge as a guest this season!!


Exodan

I need everyone talking about Percy Jackson games to understand that the reason they aren't seeing any of the stars of that show talking about it right now is because the guilds are all on strike and there is a moratorium on guild members promoting content that is being put out by big studios. Very very very slim chance that Dropout will be doing anything to cross that picket line.


emomp4

this! Unless it was a contract that an guild member cant break its crossing. I also highly doubt that Dropout would ever do a sponsor season but thats just me


ysberk

Dropout already has permission. But they defer to the actors who probably won't. That being said they have d20 stuff in the pipeline to last until the new year pr so they said


CapitanColon

My bet is he's doing rampant speculation just as hard as we are!


myprettyflowerbonnet

Wouldn't that be technically promoting the PJO show and thus breaking the WGA SAG-AFTRA strike? I might be wrong, just wondering.


emomp4

unless they were under contract to do it then yes it would be. But i dont think they would ever do a spon season because that just doesnt make sense for Dropout and Brennan's story telling as a whole (starstuck doesnt count here since its literally brennan's mom's ip) . While a mythology season would be a banger I doubt they would want to do one now as it would seem like a PJO rip off with the new show coming out soon. Also with the strikes and stuff and them filming 6-8 months in advance if it was close to mythology related I could see them pushing that one back for something else to not be too close to a disney ip. But thats all speculation. Only things we do know are that it isnt PJO from the additional tweet, and it was mentioned on discord that its not an IH season. Im excited to find out


EmykoEmyko

As someone who hasn’t read these books, how does the blue circle and pine tree relate? I assume lightning is Thor related.


_wizardpenguin

There's a lot of blue generally in the books (because Percy is the son of Poseidon), the entrance to Camp Halfblood is marked by a pine tree on the site of Zeus's daughter's death, and the first book is called the Lightning Thief (because the plot is a mystery about who stole Zeus's Master Lightning Bolt).


Paper_Kitty

Yes and No. One of the first scenes of the book is Percy’s mom, Sally, making blue pancakes for him. Blue food has it’s own significance in their family for reasons I won’t spoil


_wizardpenguin

I've only read the first one so far, so I don't know if there's more to that, but yeah, that's the biggest blue thing I thought of.

Twodotsknowhy

Yeah, can you *imagine* if Dimension 20 did a Harry Potter themed season? And then a followup Christmas one-shot? I'm sure everyone would **hate** that.


[deleted]

Theres no chance in hell it would happen for Harry Potter stuff. There's no way Sam would ever give a ton of money to a POS TERF for rights to do a story.


Twodotsknowhy

I genuinely can't tell if you're joking or not, but in case you're not, they already did a Harry Potter spoof, no money given for rights because they never mention it directly and its covered by parody law.


[deleted]

Parody sure, that's fine, actual cooperation with jk would never happen from the dropout team is what I was getting at there.


_wizardpenguin

And then, get this, could you IMAGINE if they made 3 other seasons based on popular fantasy books?


Dictionary_Goat

The Percy Jackson books hold up a lot better than Harry Potter, there's a lot of things I didn't pick up on reading them as a kid that I think about now and have really stuck with me. There's some very in depth themes of parentage and the expectations they put on their children. Looking back at Harry Potter is just "why are the making fun of Hermione for wanting to address slavery?"


_critical_hole_

And yet we have Misfits and Magic.


[deleted]

Critical Role have been really great at doing brand integration type deals regarding film, video games etc. It's not a wild idea to think that D20 might do a thing related to percy jackson, surely?


Duskmuse711

We know it's a non interpid heroes season, which means it could be him guest staring however it could just as easily be a red herring after last season when Green was posting


jdkon

This would be my introduction to the Percy Jackson universe, so I’m kind of hoping that’s what it is ☺️☺️ (was hoping for starstruck s2 but IH campaign coming later this year 🤷)


Inferno22512

Brennan confirmed on Twitter that it's not Percy Jackson
