He got the killshot. I want him to be immortalized in goblin mythology as Riz Dragon-Muncher. I want them to write epics about him and his culinary exploits involving Ancient Dragons.
Hyper-specific Predictions Based on Your Favorite D20 PC: Fantasy high
Gorgug: You get a rush of anxiety every time somebody tries to look at your sketchbook and/or journal. You think that people would realize you aren’t actually talented if they saw your practice pages even though your friends will always support you.
Adaine: You tried so hard to be a tea person, but coffee is just the only thing that keeps you going.
Riz: Your couple friends invite you to do activities with them, but you can’t tell if their offers are sincere or if you’d just be third-wheeling.
Kristen: You’ve made some big life changes, and it’s hard to figure out to handle the people who knew the person you were pretending to be. Don’t worry, you’ll figure it out.
Fig: Those “do I have ADHD” quizzes have been a little inconclusive for your liking, haven’t they?
Fabian: You appreciate that your friends think of you as the fun one in the group, but you wish you knew how to open up to them without ruining that.
Minor spoilers for episode one of Dimension 20’s Fantasy High: Junior Year
I personally loved the episode and I can’t wait for the next 19 episodes (and 20 adventuring party episodes) of amazing content from our Intrepid Heroes!
What’s new with Kristen Applebees heading into Fantasy High Junior Year? Let Ally explain to you in this new behind-the-scenes featurette that just launched on Dropout!
One thing I've not seen yet in discussions of Kipperlilly's reasons for hating Riz is how much it parallels the feelings of people born into priviledged majorities about 'diversity hiring'.
The way she thinks that having a tragic backstory makes you a better adventurer, when all it really does is hurt you, is exactly the way I've seen white cishet people complain that being in a minority gets you priority for job offers/grants.
The idea that having pain in your past from discrimination or trauma is worth it because you get 'more opportunities' in the working world from being a POC or LGBTQ+ or disabled is a genuine belief that some priviledged people hold. And to me that really mirrors Copperbitch Kipperbottle's jealousy of Riz both having a dead father and ESPECIALLY coming from a poor background.
"So what's gonna happen is this. I'm gonna need everyone to just perform a fucking psychic lobotomy on yourself and just move out of the space we were just in."
