Dropout’s hit D&D actual play anthology series, Dimension 20, has covered a lot of ground over the course of its run. But with the premiere of its 25th season, Titan Takedown, the D20 crew has got something that may surprise even long-time fans: A post-credits segment.
So if you’re looking forward to the first episode of Titan Takedown this week, this is your warning: Don’t close the player once the credits start rolling to watch Make Some Noise or Very Important People, stick around.
And if you’ve already been there, done that, and watched the footage — read on, because we asked Dimension 20 host Brennan Lee Mulligan how it all came together.
[Ed. note: This piece contains spoilers for the post-credits scene of Titan Takedown’s first episode.]
When Polygon spoke to Mulligan, he said that the post-credits segment — in which D20 veterans Brian Murphy and Ify Nwadiwe appear in costume and character as Greek mythology-themed wrestling commentators — was all about giving Dropout’s biggest wrestling buffs a chance to join in on this collaboration with the world of WWE.
“We had a ton of huge wrestling fans that are amongst the cast and crew,” Mulligan told Polygon, “and there were these ways to generate really fun additional content that would get fans excited, and also allow multiple hands to touch this project. I wanted [spoiler] involved, I wanted [spoiler] involved, I wanted [spoiler] involved. We’re creating a bunch of really fun additional content for fans of the show. To celebrate the show and also ham up the world-building of these incredible Ancient Greek wrestler heroes, the world-building of the season. It was a joyful project that also got to expand the family of people working on the show.”
Mulligan understandably didn’t want to spoil upcoming extras, so we’ve omitted the specifics of who all is involved, but suffice to say: It’s not just Murphy and Nwadiwe who’ve gotten an invite to the party. Fans can expect more Dropout stars to drop in on Titan Takedown during the rest of its four-episode season.
