The following is a preview of an article; the full version can be found on my Patreon/Substack/website. Unlike my other articles on Medium, this preview is not paywalled. The full article can be found here.

Long-term followers of this blog are aware that I am positively obsessed with Dimension 20, a tabletop anthology series that does a different world and sometime seven system every season. I have written glowing reviews of previous seasons, such as ‘Dungeons and Drag Queens’ and Cloudward, Ho!, and ‘City Council of Darkness’ was shaping up to be one of my favorites.

A cutesy World of Darkness story about cynical vampires learning to love small town politics— what’s not to love?

But then it came to its end, with a finale so off the rails it kind of killed the show for me. And so for my monthly exclusive (something you can find on my Patreon, Substack, or website), I wanted to talk about what I think it did so terribly wrong.

Check out the rest of the post here.
