* CreatorThumbprint: Aabria will go out of her way to avert HumansAreWhite if she's given the chance. Even when she's not DMing: According to WordOfGod, both her player characters in "Pirates of Leviathan" and "The Ravening War" are black despite being a merfolk and a pepper respectively, neither of which have the concept of race as we know it.

* BornUnlucky: It doesn't show up much when he DMs, but both of Matt's stints as a player showed off how absurdly unlucky his dice rolls tend to be when he isn't running the show. One battle episode of "Bloodkeep", he got stuck fighting a halfling ''the entire episode.''

* RageQuit: She playfully evokes this when Zac as Squing [[spoiler]]eats the paper granting her final bosses the legal backing to make Dracula's castle their own[[/spoiler]]. However, given Jasmine doesn't actually leave the table and proceeds to give a satisfactory ending to the campaign, it's clear that it's just a gag.

* CallBack: She does an interesting variant on this given it's to a season she had no part of before, but one that player Erika Iishi had starred in. At one point she presents a group of vampire hunters imposing on the party and one of them is armed with a pet goose, calling back to an infamous moment when Erika (as Danielle) summoned a swarm of them and did an absurd amount of damage. The show then cuts back to a clip of the aforementioned moment.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Or rather, formula breaking ''season''. The vast majority of Dimension 20's seasons are done via Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition, but Aabria was the first to introduce a new system to the dome, Kids On Brooms. This was followed by a number of later seasons to branch off from D&D, including a modified version of Kids On Bikes for "Mentopolis" run by Brennan himself.

** On the rare occasions when things do turn against him as DM, either through bad dice rolls or the players outfoxing him, he has shades of this, either getting annoyed or dejected, but will generally take it in stride. Emily Axford and Ally Beardsley in particular have a habit (whether through game knowledge or purely random good fortune) of completely undoing his plans, turning fairly deadly encounters into victories.
