Okay a summary cause I love explaining things and fandom history

• Collegehumor launches Dimension 20, a real-play DND vodcast with custom, handmade miniatures
• The show is an anthology, and each season’s reception varies
• At the Start of 2020, following the high of their sequel to their most popular season, they launched Crown of Candy
• Crown of Candy was a Game of Thrones/Candyland parody that was significantly darker than other seasons, including multiple PC deaths, on-screen child abuse, war and bloody deaths.
• Given that people needed a distraction moreso than usual, Crown of Candy developed an EXTREMELY dedicated and divisive fanbase.
• Unfortunately, due to the nature of the season, the fact that it was launched on twitch and YouTube with chat enabled, and some vicious fans, it was an exhausting season for everyone involved.
• Some people think that because of this, it may never get a sequel.
• That said - they have made the interesting decision to auction off minis from past seasons Starting with a crown of candy, rather than an older season or a side quest.
• There was an anthropomorphic carrot that killed a PC and one of the animal companions.
• Worth noting that one of the most popular ships is the carrot and the PC he killed.
• There was a plot-twist backstabber NPC who is essentially the Tumblr sexy man of dimension20. He’s a sentient slice of cake with legs and everyone just kind of draws him as an attractive guy.
• They have been using both characters heavily in advertising the auction – moreso than the actual player characters.
• Within the first hour the carrot’s bid broke $2500 dollars

Updates:

• Anonymous benefactors are offering several thousand dollars to people who want certain miniatures
• Due to shipping restrictions, there are people offering to export it from the US on behalf of other fans
• One of the miniatures in the first wave of auctions is an unused ham-dog. A pug that looks like a holiday ham
• I’m a little foggy on the details but I think? Laney “caramelindarox” on Twitter? May have started a meme about how much everyone should want the ham-dog. Possibly to overinflate it’s value and detract bids on other minis
• The discord server latches on to this meme and has started a church of ham-dog
