QDNDOS takes place 15 years before the events of QDND and has been running since winter of 2013. The two sessions have tied together in some unexpected ways, though QDNDOS in general has had some fairly rotten luck. To what degree they're ''responsible'' for the events of QDND is still unknown. The original adventurers were:
* Alexei, a vampire ranger who is uncomfortably into romance novels, played by Ashley
* Sophia, a human cleric with a self-righteous streak that's more like a highway, played by Dee
* Ader, a dwarf fighter who isn't quite sure if he's in the right place, played by Jay

* Issa, a drow wizard who's a runaway prince and a huge nerd, played by Shad
* Penny, a high elf cleric who joined the group a bit later, played by Mia

!!QDNDOS contains examples of:

* {{Dysfunction Junction}}: Most of the group falls under this in this session as well.

Short for "Quouse DND", this campaign began in September of 2013. It follows a set of heroes as they try to stop a series of escalating catastrophes, and eventually a war. Arnam dies at least three times. The original adventuring party consisted of:
* Joaquin, a human fighter who has been elected the party's highly unwilling leader, played by Ashley
* Havi, a highly anxious half-elf cleric, played by Emily
* Jojo, a bumbling barbarian half-orc, played by Shad
* Caranthir, played by Tim
* Ireth, played by Kayla
* Dahlia, played by Rachel
The session is DM'd by Ben.

QDND contains examples of:

* {{AerithAndBob}}: We have Atsafune, and then Jamal. Or Rosalind, but then her brother Nifty.
* {{Always Second Best}}:
** {{Played for laughs}} with Jojo to Joaquin.
** Joaquin compared to [[spoiler:Clint]].
* {{The Atoner}}:
** Jojo's major driving force in being a Good Guy is to make up for his past.
** Joaquin's thought process is that of The Atoner, but it's more just {{Guilt Complex}}.
* {{Character Development}}: The whole group, although some are more extreme than others.
* {{Childhood Friend Romance}}: Havi and Tanum. They go through quite a bit of {{Just Friends}}.
* {{ConflictingLoyalty}}:
** Possible with [[spoiler:Jojo in regard to Lia and the group. Lia may be a {{Love Interest Traitor}}]].
** Possible with the group with regard to the war. [[spoiler: Could be {{Wrong Side All Along}}.]]
* {{Dual Wielding}}:
** Joaquin wield's two swords to [[spoiler:try to amount to his older brother, Clint Calloway, who wields a great sword]].
** Jojo tries to wield two great axes for the whole session, but doesn't get to before [[spoiler:running away with Lia]].
* {{Dysfunction Junction}}: The whole group, really.
** Joaquin being [[spoiler:a runaway "prince"]] along with a slew of person issues and inadequacies.
** Havi avoiding all his problems, and his issues with Tanum.
** Jojo has his previous group of friends die. [[spoiler:Except Lia. But her being alive doesn't make things better at all]].
** Caranthir was abandoned by his parents and raised by wolves. Though he turned out the most collected of the group...
** Ireth has her whole tribe and family wiped out by a group of Orcs. [[spoiler:Lindsey survives, but survival of old friends for this group just tends to bring more problems...]].
** Dalia comes from a very large, poor family. [[spoiler:Her rogue trainer was also part of the Cult of Sorrows]].
** A whole lot of the npcs fall into this, too. Most notable being Tanum, Lia, Nifty, Lindsey, Phillip, and Meekus.
* {{The Faceless}}: The masked man.
* {{Failed a spot check}}: Jojo, continuously with anything at all regarding Lia.
* {{FailureToSaveMurder}}: Jojo playing the Hero and the Fool about his old group of friends.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: Joaquin and Curtis seem to be heading in this direction.
* FiveManBand: With the departure of Dahlia, the original adventurers fall into these archetypes almost perfectly. Specifically:
** {{The Leader}}: Joaquin
** {{The Lancer}}: Caranthir
** {{The Smart Guy}}: Havi
** {{The Big Guy}}: Jojo
** {{The Chick}}: Ireth, if you disregard the whole heartwarming good girl part. Though she does step into this role a few times when Joaquin is [[spoiler: dealing with his family, after Jojo leaves]].
* {{Grievous Harm With A Body}}: Jojo, when he hits and proceeds to scare away city guards by hitting them with another guard.
* {{Hazy Feel Turn}}: Lia went from working with thugs, to working with some shady figures for 10 years, to working with the party trying to save the world, to marrying [[spoiler:or rather, scamming, a rich noble from Quarmar]] before performing an apparent final {{Heel Face Turn}} and [[spoiler:running off with Jojo.]] Needless to say, nobody's quite sure whose side she's on anymore.
* {{Heel Face Turn}}: Several of the characters come from darker pasts, but are now on the side of the "good" guys, as far as we know. Joaquin and Jojo went through this before the story officially began, and Tanum made the switch shortly after his introduction.
{{Lured into a trap}}:
** Lia lures Jojo into a trap when she invites him to come back and visit her after they deal with the Shaman.
*** Could easily be {{Schmuck Bait}} because Joaquin and everyone BUT Jojo feel like it's a trap.
*** It's also unclear if Lia knew at the time of inviting the group back that it would turn out to be a trap.
* {{Meaningful Rename]]: [[spoiler: Joaquin and Jojo]] both have their fair share of name issues.
* {{Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond}}: Joaquin could be seen like that compared to [[spoiler: his family]] and the group.
* {{Parents Know Their Children}}: The Calloway's knew of all of [[spoiler:Joaquin's]] alias' and what he was doing while being them.
* [[spoiler:RedemptionEarnsLife]]: The end of Tanum's first character arc.
* {{Reluctant Ruler}}: Joaquin, on multiple occasions.
* {{Reluctant Hero}}: Areli wants nothing to do with being even part of the hero group.
* {{Rivals Team Up}}
** The gang and Nifty on Beard's boat.
** Ireth and Jojo
** Areli and Joaquin, although Joaquin doesn't really see Areli as a rival at all....
* {{Supernatural Aid}}: [[spoiler: Meekus]].
* {{Wham Episode}}: Oh boy there's a lot of them
** Jojo [[spoiler: finding out Lia is still alive. And then having to fight his dead friends. And then being able to talk to his dead friends and have them forgive him and tell him their death wasn't his fault.]]
** The same time as that, Havi [[spoiler: dealing with Tanum's heart and necromancy thing...]].
** [[spoiler: Lia and Tanum getting their hearts removed. Again]].
** The Wedding.
** Joaquin [[spoiler:reading the letters from his family. Also when he reunites with his family]].
* {{Wham Line}}
--> '''Jojo''': -Admitting his feelings-
--> [[spoiler:'''Lia''']]: ...do you have the stuff?
--> '''Jojo''': -nods-
--> [[spoiler:'''Lia''']]: Ok. Get out.
* {{You Are Not Alone}}: Every character has a background arc that is especially tough, but everyone else in the group stands with them through their hard time.
** Except Caranthir, who was honestly pretty chill with most things happening to him. Like normal.

A {{Dungeons And Dragons}} roleplay group based in Minnesota who have been around since 2013. They revolve a bit less around the nitty-gritty of gameplay and a bit more around roleplaying, character development, and complex world building. There are several campaigns going at once with various different DM's, though the plots and character are often interrelated. [[http://www.gaysincapes.com/ The website]] gives descriptions of all the players, characters, and worlds, and hosts livestreams of most of their sessions. Their [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/gays-in-capes/id965078141?mt=2&ls=1 podcast]] covers the sessions MINDND and DNDASH weekly.

Tropes are broken down by session.
