Dimension 20: Titan Takedown

Episode 1 Party Animals

A lot of fun, looking forward to the next episode. I watched this with my friend that is a WWE fan which I think added to the experience.

Something in my years of experience is telling me that’s not the Key Hair and Makeup Artist’s real name…

Hades 2 Kronos: I shall destroy mount olympus and restore the world back to its golden age

Titan takedown Kronos: I love hotdoges

Are you cutting, are you bulking? - I'm fading.

Without missing a single beat. Already maybe my favourite joke of the season.

Y'all, I'm literally BEGGING you to read this article. It's am article from Variety about Titan Takedown with a bunch of interview questions from Brennan peppered in there.

Imagine someone just randomly coming across this article. Can you even comprehend how confused they must be????

We, as d20 fans, know how Brennan talks. But seeing it all written out like this is insane.

Excuse me what's with this jumpscare in the Titan Takedown ep1 credits?!

Hats off to Renesme Fakename, what a wild choice 👀

you hate when i GET MAD!!!!

it's time for a t-t-t-takedown!

i'm really enjoying this so far. d20's used dnd in a couple of different settings where it hasn't been perfect, but does the job, but i feel like it's really at a good point here as a combat system. quick fights with a combination of skill checks to appeal outside of the ring, it works well.

the shine tokens are a fun aspect as well, playing with the idea of worship and the less physical aspects of the game. i loved their use of the system and how they worked around limitations to get what they needed.

also i love the commentator bit. the instant i saw wrestlers on d20 i wanted murph, ify and danielle to be there, so 2 out of 3 isn't bad at all.

anyway it's time for some quick mechanical breakdowns:

julius mortem:

  • the son of kronos with a ticking hourglass around his neck
  • a level 5 monk (subclass unknown at the moment. i'm thinking maybe a little bit of chronomancy homebrew given the shield and redirect abilities)

thea kittleroo:

  • a cursed kangaroo minotaur
  • a level 5 juggernaut barbarian (she can't be knocked prone while raging and can push combatants up to Huge size 5 feet in a direction of her choice automatically)
  • presumably has a feat giving her the thorn whip

adonis thanaformis:

  • a formerly hot undead king
  • a level 5 battlemaster fighter (he has a trip attack and presumably 2 other maneuvers)
  • presumably has a feat granting the fear effect; i'd say it might be a reskinned, one use dragon fear given the cone

tabatha:

  • the tabaxi goddess of loving your cats
  • a level 5 rogue (unknown subclass, leaning towards arcane trickster given the magic even though vicious mockery isn't on the wizard spell list)
  • any feats are unknown, but she has a bag of cats, which i'd call a reskinned bag of tricks perhaps
