Love how much effort Dropout puts into making innovative, fun, original content when we would really be satisfied with a bunch of Grants shuffling quietly for a few hours.

Im not gonna say i think im right or anything, or even that this is my only speculation, but

I think this season might be

Based on irish folklore

Possibly set in london, not ireland

Set in early 1900s or late 1800s

Set during the Irish war for independance

Characters are either changelings or fighting changelings or kidnapped and replaced by changelings. Idk something about changelings

Could possibly be a system based off of or using Changeling: The Dreaming (possibly specifically an altered toys will be toys or something) OR Changeling: The Lost.

The poem in the trailer is "The Stolen Child" by William Butler Yeats. He wrote irish fairy tales and folklore. He ordered the poems and put the stolen child with other changeling poems and stories. The poem is about luring children away to escape the suffering of the world, but also leaving the good things.

The names are also interesting

Wyon is a prominent family who lived in England and irland up until the early/mid 1900s

Constance; Constance and even Con were popular names during this time in London/UK. Constance Markievicz was also a key player in gaining independence for the people of Ireland

Tiddlywinks is a game that came from victorian england, "it became one of the most popular crazes during the 1890s," the word tiddlywinks was derived from british slang. Tiddly was slang for alcohol. Tiddlywink has also been used as a name for faires in media before. And the tiddlywinks game boxes are sometimes depicted with fairies on the box playing the game.

Calypso has musical ties to french medieval music. It also means hidden or hider. Derived from the Greek Kalyptein meaning to conceal. It also has musical ties to trinidad and tobago, where the name may have derived from carrousseaux, meaning a drinking party/festivity - which is typical fae imagery.

Clyde is a name of celtic origin -scotland and northern ireland in reference to the river Clyde

Avery derives of Ælfred the literal translation of which is elf counsel.

(Im aware its Con stance, Tiddly Winks, and caly pso)

New D20 Season: Playtime is over?

So i think what they were trying to convey is ww2, british children evacuated to the countryside and taken away by faeries in the new strange wilderness. OR, they're playing toys. So it's either very Narnia, very JRR Tolkien (in a meta sense based on when he published and his general vibe of tweed and nature, etc, not literally like his works), and code breaking, maybe even a country house? AND OR Toy Story of some variety.

My only clear thought so far is that i think some of the players are playing fairies, just because of the names, or are actually toys, because none of the names seemed like funny british child names of the 1930s but did seem like funny british child toy names of the 30s.

My unclear thought is that Siobhan literally has to be playing in this season or what was this all for? if there is any kind of code breaking, any sort of british 30s children's literature references, like she HAS to be there.

Edit: Actually, I've just watched it again and these are the names. Constance, Tiddlywinks (Possibly Tiddely Winks), Avery, Clyde, Calypso, and Wydon.

Based on the imagery some of those characters are toy soldiers, I think Clyde is most definitely a rocking horse, i think constance is a frightful porcelain doll, and though i'm not sure who, one of them is a marionette.

I've had the other thought that this might be a bunch of toys going to rescue children who have been snatched by fairies, since their parents aren't around to help, and i feel it'll be exploring the reinvention of childhood that occurs in post ww1 england, where following the devastation of the great war, the idea of children having a childhood becomes a much stronger social focus, and then with war and evacuation, independence and or feelings of abandonment become prominent as well.

also the poem used in the voice over is the Stolen Child by William Butler Yeats, about fairies luring children away, so yeah, those toys are going to save their children

since count the rice has been posted I’ve watched it 5 times already. The premise. The editing. The cast. I’m also extremely biased when Demi is present. This episode is definitely my personal favorite and I’m so excited for the behind the scenes

[quantummoonjune]

anyone else holding out hope that "playtime is over" (or whatever the new dimension 20 season ends up being called) will have one of the intrepid heroes DMing with Brennan as a player?
