Dice Disasters & Yuletide

I only wanted to listen to one episode of "Dice Disasters" today because I really need to get some work for uni done, but then episode 29 ended on an amazing cliffhanger - holy shit Jasmin! Asking for another go at the gauntlet try-outs and showing everyone that she is a changeling, and saying that her wish is to be cured! Aaaaah! The other players' reactions in the background are also beautiful.
The other characters' reactions in the next episode are also great. Especially Max just claiming that he's Fallen too so he gets put in the same part of the prison as Jasmin, and the others being worried and defending Jasmin to the resistance, especially Cody.
Oliver reminding everyone that getting into prison is not the hard part ^^
Erica as orc naval pirate/Rockstar with her hurdy-gurdy, "Han Solo" the tiefling in stilettos to be taller, Cody as an air genasi with Voltron armor, Max with dress pants and a sheer shirt, and Jasmin with her shapeshifting dress! I really want to see art for that.
Jasmin and AJ, eee! Jasmin likes being animals :) Meanwhile Erica puts on a fantastic performance and gets a sponsor immediately, Cody gets to deal with the eccentric wizard, poor Max gets objectified and insulted, and Zan is sponsored by her warlock patron who calls her "my little pet."
Cody's "Goost" Cody-mon card for Jasmin, "you got this" <333
They all have sponsors now, the gauntlet can begin!
…by the way, wonder what happened with Pickles… ^^

I'm finally caught up now! I'm definitely going to request Dice Disasters for Yuletide :D Great timing that they're starting a hiatus just as I'm catching up, but can't be helped.

I'm not going to request Skyjacks though. I was planning to for the past few months, but I'm still disappointed by what happened in episode 80, and the episodes after that were good but didn't alleviate my concerns, and I don't want to request a fandom that I'm concerned that I'll lose my enthusiasm for before reveals, that'd feel unfair.

I don't 100% know what I want to offer yet, there are some fandoms I'm contemplating but don't want to commit to before seeing some letters, but there are several that I'm excited about offering so I'm sure it'll be fun.

I liked the post about DNWs on [community profile] yuletide_admin, helpful. It also reminded me to opt-in for interactive fiction, jic. I think IF could work especially well for an RPG-based canon: instead of readers making choices, you could tell them to roll dice :)
