    Just note that we are not planning on uploading the rest of the season for free to TH-cam right now! But you can get every episode of A Starstruck Odyssey (and every Adventuring Party talkback) by signing up for Dropout at the low price of $6 / month! That's, like, the price of a just okay sandwich.

      Emily feels like she was born to be apart of this world, I would bet hard money she not only researched the comics but became an obsessive fan over them.
      She has always been one of my favourites at any table, but this season she was on a whole other level! I've never seen someone constantly keeping Brennan on his toes like that, finding things and making choices that no one else would. She straight up become OP by half-way through

      I think the only Siobhan character I didn't like at the start was Ruby from ACOC. But then the major twist happened, and she went from "oh I'm just happy to tag along with my twin sister" to the emotional core of the show. Like _dayumn_ she can act.

    Also, not to spoil episode 2, but the characters are really (and I mean *REALLY*) fluid and the cold, harsh reality of the world's economy gives the whole season a thick layer of tension we haven't really had in D20, except maybe with Kalina.

    For those of you who are on the fence about this series, I can assure you that episode two is even better. I know it's based off something else but episode two just gives off so many Cowboy Bebop/Firefly vibes. Zac's metamorphosis at the beginning of the next episode is something I would not have ever expected and is so genius because of it. Pretty sure they offer a two week trial so you could wait for the series to wrap up and binge it all in that time frame (not that I would recommend that).

Then, literally as this campaign was announced, I read the last issue of one of the more recent series (the 2009 or something, I think), and there was Brennan's face in it! And then I google, and it turns out his mother is the creator of the Starstruck play and comics! And THEN I find out Dimension 20 is doing a Starstruck-themed campaign. Super weird and cool.

    Love this crew -- and the fun they're having is mad infectious. I realized 8 mins in that I'd been smiling the whole time.

    Fantasy high has been my favorite Dimention 20 series from the beginning, but I have a feeling this one may top it. I'm so excited to see where this season goes :)

    I love this spaceship full of enthusiastic bozos so much ❤️ Me yelling excitedly at my TV every episode so far! Dropout has always been so worth it, and somehow, more and more worth it with every season. Amazing work Brennan, Intrepid Heroes, and crew!

    Brennans many CEO critique videos prepared him so well for the droid CEO character ballbusting his way around the boardroom.
