** The wrap-up following the final session has [[WordOfGod Zito]] reveal some different paths they could have taken, such as learning about Zap and Mitzi's secret relationship, Danny actually being a Mock, and fighting Ford as the final boss if they had dealt with the Girallon in the movie world. He also states that there was only a 10% chance for the party to get an EverybodyLives ending, and [[spoiler:is both befuddled and impressed that they pulled it off]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: At the end of Episode 2, Zito tells the party that he intended for Patty to have been killed by the hostile Running Gags in the storeroom. However, because the party went to that room before Patty went there, they drew the attention of the Running Gags first, and were able to kill them before they could kill Patty.

* WordOfGod: Within the story itself, it's not known exactly what precipitated the Fall of Iburkal, or how fared the party who were trying to prevent it. Wake in particular maintains a tense optimism that [[spoiler: they somehow survived. Out of universe, however, Zito has said categorically that as far as he's concerned, everyone who was in the area, hero, villain or NPC, is super dead.]]
Surprisingly did not include Scaffy, Ezra's Crawling Claw item, which was later recovered by Wake.

** When Zito was making Nedra, she was gonna be a Goliath, before settling on Tiefling.

*** This event also had a bigger consequence: [[spoiler:Wake going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge over Gulfurr's death was seemingly the last straw that risked destabilizing his alignment and and lead to his leaving the crew in order to get himself in order. Which leads one to wonder, had Gulfurr lived, would Lani still have retired Wake in favor of Dagon?]]
** Due to Ben Creator/Hbi2k's sudden departure, massive rewrites were made to account for it. The end result was [[spoiler:the crew failing their mission and the ivory tower collapsing in an explosion, killing everyone in the city and unleashing fiends and monsters throughout the world. The focus is then shifted back to Wake as he and two new characters (Morgan Strong and Chromagil) go on a quest to save the world. The death of so many major characters led to many storylines being cut short.]]
** In the final chapter, [[spoiler:Wake's gift from the fey is an orb that would allow him to perform a True Resurrection [[EquivalentExchange at the cost of his own soul]]. It seemed like he was going to use it to bring back one of his fallen friends, but after Brian gave Morgan's epilogue where he willingly accepted his long-delayed death, Lani had Wake reconsider the idea (though he was tempted when he confirmed that Calliope was killed in the Fall). In the end, Wake never uses the orb for its original purpose, instead using it to pass on to the afterlife peacefully when he reached the natural end of his life.]]

** The as-yet-unnamed Baalor demon instigator of the Onrush, the calamity of the previous generation, is known by fans as Mr. Onrush.

** Glorriosa and Yawrugrik were both designed to be recruitable, under the right circumstances. However, a combination of their late introductions, and both of them having homebound responsibilities, led the crew to believe it was best if they stayed.

* ActorAllusion: The inn on Vennin Island is named the Toad in the Hole, which was one of the possible tavern names floated by ''WebVideo/TheUnexpectables'', of which Zito is a player. He reuses the name in the Kobold one-shot.

*** A few episodes later, the group finds out that as a consequence of this, [[spoiler:Yeldin's soul left the Mimic ship since Gulfurr was his last surviving descendant and therefore his final tie to the mortal world. This forced the One-ders to scuttle the ship, which was replaced by a vorpal ship donated by Lieutenant Gore.]] Obviously, this has some severe implications and none of it would have happened if [[spoiler:Gulfurr had survived]].

** In Chapter 3 Episode 5, the circumstance of [[spoiler: Gulfurr's death]] all came down to random chance. Zito had Lani roll a d4 to determine which member of the crew would be with him: the options were Skrung, Onslow, Risf, and Gulfurr. [[spoiler:Then Zito rolled a Natural 1 when determining the severity of Gulfurr's injuries, which resulted in his having died some time while Wake was unconscious.]]

** In Chapter 3 Episode 5, when [[spoiler: Gulfurr dies]], Zito reveals via the tokens that, based on Lani's pick, it could have been Skrung, Onslow, or Risf instead.

** Kirran was originally going to be the guest DM of the May 29th session, but he came down with an illness so Lani took over and ran the Project Omega one-shot.

* FanNickname: Nedra is the group's Punchy Princess.

** Originally, Zito planned for Calliope to be the BigBad of the Venon Island Arc, secretly being the Wendigo.

** If the crew had recruited Nedra first, then they wouldn't have been able to recruit Onslow, due to his fear of her.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Chapter 2, episode 15 ends on a literal cliffhanger as Eloy is knocked off a bridge by a catapulted troglodyte. In preparation for a possible character death, Ben wrote up a replacement: the very trog that killed Eloy, having made a pact with the magical item Eloy was carrying and becoming a hexblade warlock, and decided to side with the party because they [[IFightForTheStrongestSide seemed stronger than his own kin.]]
