Fully titled ''Wyrmwick: The Past Years'', the ''[=PreWick=]'' campaign is an ActualPlay {{prequel}} to another ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign by Creator/LordKaT, the ''WebVideo/WyrmwickCampaign''. It is set in what will become the kingdom of Wyrmwick, several hundred years before the events of the first campaign, and boasts an entirely new cast of characters plus a few familiar faces.

Former Wyrmwick party members [=SonicGav=], [=Y Ruler of Time=], WebVideo/RolloT and [=ArcLight=] return, and are joined by tabletop gaming veteran [=MechaGM=] and livestream regular Sable.

The cast and PlayerParty consists of:
* [=LordKaT=] as the Dungeon Master
* [=MechaGM=] as Caeranne Bladewalker, an Eladrin Swordmage
* [=SonicGav=] as Drycha, a Wood Elf Seeker/Ranger
* [=ArcLight=] as Elexis Moreau, a Genasi Warlord
* [=Sable=] as Fardraig Culhwch, a Human Fighter
* [=Y Ruler of Time=] as Han Niudao, a Human Monk
* [=RolloT=] as Vega Cruz, a Half-Elf Warpriest

[=LordKat=] had to end the campaign prematurely due to RealLife stress[[note]](namely, a legal dispute with TNA)[[/note]] and scheduling conflicts, and the previous sessions and the campaign wiki went offline by 2015. An Website/InternetArchive backup of the wiki can be found [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140409231515/http://www.lordkat.com/wiki/index.php/PreWick_campaign here]].

!!''[=PreWick=] Campaign'' provides examples of:

%%* ActionGirl:
%%** Caeranne
%%** Drycha
%%** Elexis
%%** Han fits this now as well.
* AnachronismStew: When Vega prays to Selune for instruction, she is answered by a receptionist from "the Law Offices of Selune, Selune & Selune"; when she prays for the party to be transported away from danger, she gets "Selune, Selune & Selune Cab Service".
* BadFuture: Ten years or so in the future, Bomar is the Mayor of Wyrmwick and the kingdom is engaged in an unending war against the Taint's army -- which Han is now leading. Fortunately, it was only a vision. But the party is now desperately trying to prevent it from coming to pass.


* BewareTheSillyOnes: Mage Firenipple. He's an eccentric old man with a funny name and a goofy verbal tick... [[spoiler:who slipped unconscious Han a [[GenderBender gender bending]] potion, with the intention of making Female Han his wife. Did we mention the potion also contained a [[MindRape mind-altering ingredient]] to make the recipient more subservient?]]
* BrutalHonesty: Nearly everything out of Fardraig's mouth. The wiki describes him as "blunt as a craghammer (and just as deadly)".
* BuxomBeautyStandard: Firenipple apparently thinks so: he gave Female Han D-cup breasts. (Jason said he had to resist the urge to make them [[StealthPun Double Ds.]])
%%* CloudCuckooLander: Bomar the Baker ([[WebVideo/WyrmwickCampaign again]]).
* DeathByOriginStory:
** The Druidic community where Drycha was raised (which had formerly been home to all manner of forest-dwelling creatures) was wiped out by goblin raiders.
** Fardraig's family were killed by a band of adventurers when he was a child.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Bomar. The party becomes this after they are transported thirty years into the future in a holy vision.
%%* FutureMeScaresMe: [[spoiler: Han, who is apparently destined to lead the Taint's army.]]
* GenderBender: [[spoiler: Han, thanks to a lovelorn Mage Firenipple. The transformation began as a slow, gradual process that caused Han to acquire soft skin and large breasts while he still had his male reproductive organs; however, this led to a great deal of {{Squick}} and rude humor from the livestream community, irritating [=Y Ruler of Time=] and causing [=LordKaT=] to re-write the arc so that Han woke up fully female at the start of the next session.]]
%%* GranolaGirl: Drycha. Comes with being raised by Druids.
* HeroicBluescreenOfDeath: Han very nearly has one after [[spoiler: he witnesses the possible future of Wyrmwick and learns of the Taint's plans for him.]]
* LastOfHerKind: Drycha. Her entire community was slaughtered by Goblin raiders.
* LethalChef: Bomar. ''Live mouse bread.'' He also tries to make rock bread after running out of his normal ingredients ("It didn't bake well"), grass bread, and contemplates making ''gunpower bread''.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: After Firenipple used his [[spoiler: gender bending]] magic on Han, Vega (the only one present at the time) had to "inspect" him to see how thoroughly the spell had taken effect. Being a fairly sheltered young woman, Vega was so embarrassed and {{Squick}}ed out by the whole thing that she prefers to pretend it never happened.
%%* KiManipulation: Han.
%%* {{Prequel}}: To the Wyrmwick Campaign.
* RunningGag:
** Vega's habit of asking for the name of anything and everything the party encounters. It drives [=LordKat=] crazy.
** "Selune, Selune & Selune" (all of whom have Brooklyn accents).
* StableTimeLoop: Bomar travels into the past and ends up in the yet-unnamed land that will become Wyrmwick, inadvertently giving the kingdom its name by referring to it as such.
* ShoutOut: To ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'': "Iron giants? Are they voiced by Vin Diesel?" / "[[RuleOfFunny Yes]]."
%%* SuperSmoke: The party encounters this in a cave pit in session five.
%%* WarriorMonk: Han, in the Centered Breath tradition.
