* KillerGameMaster: [[spoiler: Jordan takes on this persona after he ascends into godhood, as he basically becomes the new GM for the Eidolon game in which everyone is stuck playing. As the players manage to outwit and outplay his plans he starts getting very petty with his moves, to the point where he starts retconning the story and ignoring the cards that show up in people's spreads and picking for them just to punish them.]]

** Episode 35, "Shining Star". [[spoiler: Haley tries to speak with her Eidolon's Phantom, and in doing so discovers that the Earth's moon was formed when a chunk of the secret tenth planet Nibiru was knocked off by an asteroid impact, then crashed into the Earth and reformed into the moon. Then she gets a motivational speech from the Void Moose that enables her to defeat the Phantom, and uses her "Transform the World" move to rewrite the world--or rather, become the new narrator. Jordan loses all of his power immediately, and after getting beaten up by the other kids he's turned into a raven as punishment.]]

The stories of both campaigns came to an end in February 2022 after two seasons, and though the crew have said possible follow-up stories involving the cast may appear as Patreon bonuses, ensuing stories will be set in their own continuity. The third season began in 2023, using a new edition of the game system built on tarot cards (the previous edition was TabletopGame/PoweredByTheApocalypse). Like before it is split between two campaigns, ''DISCO'' and ''SKA''.
