You know what I really fucking love in Dimension 20? Changes to mechanics/subclasses based on narrative progression. Sofia going from drunken master to way of the shadow after getting sober. Liam becoming a gloomstalker ranger after Preston dies. Ricky switching from oath of devotion to oath of redemption after giving up the questing blade. Kristen switching from a life domain to a twilight domain cleric. Pinocchino changing warlock patrons as he frees himself from the stepmother and takes control of his own destiny. It slaps every time. I like a good strategic multiclass as much as the next bitch but a subclass switch just hits different

The thing about the D&D movie which is absolutely genius is that the game mechanics basically insulate them against any of the most frustratingly fun sucking movie criticisms. “But why were the guards looking the wrong way?” Failed their perception check. “Why did the spell stop RIGHT before they would have died” Dropped concentration. It gets to be dumb and fun anyone that TRIES to be the plot hole police gets ever increasingly obscure D&D rulebooks thrown down in front of them and called a fake nerd. There’s NOTHING those type of guys hate more than being a fake nerd. This movie is untouchable.

“But that ability doesn’t work in the rules like that-” Have you never had a DM who knows what you did technically isn’t rules-legal but is like “that’s fucking sick; I’ll allow it”

cannot overstate how much i love that lou, brennan, and aabria all went into this knowing it was erika’s first time GM-ing and were like “into the deep end for them, we’re gonna throw the most batshit curveballs. the goat is on reddit now.”

and i mean that both as a joke and genuinely. there’s so much trust at the table that every out of left field ask or character choice will be not just accepted but met and built on, and it makes for a kind of storytelling that’s truly magical
