History WebVideo / TrappedInTheBirdCage

''Trapped In the Bird Cage'' is a live RPG show hosted by Holly Conrad and set, more or less in the same universe as WebVideo/DiceCameraAction. It is actually set 25 years before of DCA and in the [[TabletopGame/{{Planescape}} City of Sigil]], which is almost literally the center of the D&D multiverse.

It starts with four complete strangers being sucked out of their universe, which it's implied may not even be the same for all of them and into a closet which in turn is in a tea room run by an old lady wereraven called Crone who then sets them to various tasks which she says are necessary to save Sigil.

The Crowbar Crew:

!!Trapped in the Birdcage contains examples of:

* ActionFashionista: Both Wil and [[CampGay Saturn]].
* AllGaysArePromiscuous: If you are an attractive male Saturn will hit on you, or at least give you the eye.
* BigBad: "Us".
* BigGood: Crone, Mother, and Maiden, a triumvirate of wereravens.
* TheCameo: [[spoiler: A ten-year-old Strix shows up in Episode Six, working at a bakery that's been taking in Blood War refugees.]]
* CampGay: Saturn.
* CityOfAdventure: Sigil, of course
* CoolOldLady: Crone.
* EveryoneHasStandards: When the team goes to [[spoiler: the doughnut shop where Young!Strix works]], all of them but [[TokenEvilTeammate Wil]] worries that the children there are being exploited. [[spoiler: They're refugees of the Blood War, willing working there to make ends meet.]]
* HiddenHeartOfGold: After Reader saves her life Will, in what Anna calls "a rare outburst of genuine emotion" is genuinely grateful, both hugging and kissing him.
* HiveMind: "Us", [[spoiler: a collective of cranium rats]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Yox, an ooze mephit )played by Holly's husband) who is Crone's familiar.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: By design. Holly made them all design their characters with no knowledge of what the others were making which is why there're two rogues and no fighter type. They never even met each other until winding up in a dark closet together.
* StickyFingers: Wilhemina who will basically grab anything that's not nailed down. And if it is, just give her a few minutes with her crowbar and it won't be. Also Saturn to a lesser extent.
* TheMedic: Saturn, the only member of the party with healing spells.
* TokenEvilTeammate: She's not evil in the murderous sense but Will is clearly the team member who cares least for anyone but herself and [[spoiler: they visit the bakery where Young!Strix lives]], she's the only one who cares nothing about the children there.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Reader. None of the others are actually '''evil''' but all have a definite disregard for the law.
* WretchedHive: Not '''all'' of Sigil is this but much of it is and, being adventurers, the crew spends a lot of time in the less savory parts of town by necessity.

* BadassGay: Saturn is seriously deadly with his rapier.

* TokenEvilTeammate: She's not evil in the murderous sense but Will is clearly the team member who cares least for anyone but herself and [[spoiler: they visit the bakery where young Strix lives]] she's the only one who cares nothing about the children there.

* EveryoneHasStandards: When the team goes to [[spoiler: the doughnut shop where young Strix works]] All of them but [[TokenEvilTeammate Wil]] worries that the children there are being exploited.

* Chad Quandt: Reader, a Warforged investigative rogue, looking for whoever killed his creator
* Hadeel al-Massari: Nejma, an elven wizard with pyromaniacal tendencies.
