* UnfortunateNames: Sometimes [=LordKaT=]'s random name generator produces some real stinkers, like Dahl (formerly Skynet Antigravity) the pirate and Pantikrabs. Its only success was naming the group's ship: the ''[[AwesomeMcCoolname Mighty Gauntlet]]''. [[spoiler:And then Bomar the Baker burned it to ashes. He made a campfire on the deck to bake bread on.]]

''Wyrmwick Campaign'', named after the setting's kingdom's name, is an Actual Play of a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign formed by members of Website/ChannelAwesome with Creator/LordKaT serving as the DungeonMaster. The character roster changed from time to time to accommodate schedule changes and personal preferences.

Wyrmwick Campaign, named after the setting's kingdom's name, is a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign formed by members of [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Channel Awesome]] with Creator/LordKaT serving as the Dungeon Master.

The current roster consists of three of the [[WebVideo/SpoonysCampaign Dethklok]] campaign -- WebVideo/RolloT, Y Ruler of Time, and Skitch -- and two of [=LordKaT=]'s good friends: [=SonikGav=] and [=ArcLight=]. The character roster has changed from time to time to accommodate schedule changes and personal preferences.

The current party:

* [=LordKaT=] as the '''Dungeon Master'''
* [=SonicGav=] as '''Jonn Dayth''', a Human Fighter
* Y Ruler of Time as '''Dhother Cyllenae''', an Elf Preserving Invoker
* Skitch as '''Greig Eisenbogen''', a Human Archer Warlord
* [=RolloT=] as '''Caitlin Cormac''', an Elf Scout
* [=ArcLight=] as '''Denora Silune''', a Half-Elf Sunpriest

Every Friday, [=LordKaT=] also hosts ''That Tabletop Show'', where he and the players recap and discuss the events of the game. ''Wyrmwick'' had a short-lived spin-off campaign, the WebVideo/PreWickCampaign.

!![=WyrmwickCampaign=] provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Even the players call Caitlin out on this.
* AscendedExtra: [[spoiler:Dahl, the pirate that the party spared in an earlier session, is now a member of the party (played by Rollo_T) while Caitlin is imprisoned by the Demon Baron.]]
** [[spoiler:Well, was. Until he met his untimely death at the hands of Ghadi in a recent session.]]
* BadassPreacher: Former party member Eli and current party member Denora.
** No mention of Brother Walken?
* BerserkButton: Don’t fuck with Alpert unless you want to get on Caitlin’s bad side. [[spoiler:This may now extend to desecrating Alpert's name, now that Alpert has sadly passed away.]]
* BigBad: Owayn, the Death Knight. [[spoiler:Well, he was. Now he's been smote by Bahamut. The BigBad title has now shifted to the Firstborn of Tiamat, the Demon Baron. And now again the title has shifted to the High Priest of Tiamat, with the implied death of the Demon Baron.]]

* CloudCuckooLander: Wez the Mad. [[spoiler:Recent events have hinted that Wez was like this prior to his current insane state.]]
** Party member Jonn also displays signs of this trope as well, but nowhere near Wez's levels.
** Actually, this trope would apply to nearly all of Wyrmwick's mages. WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity indeed.
** Harley the [[spoiler:cannibal orphan.]]
** Bomar the Baker. ''In spades''.
** Hell, some of the Deities are this!
-->"I just had Lunch today..."
* CrossOver: With {{LetsPlay/Boatmurdered}}!
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler: Ghadi. SWEET MOTHER GHADI!]]
* CrystalDragonJesus: [[spoiler:Caitlin is slowly becoming a near literal version of this trope.]]
* {{Defictionalization}}: The popularity of Wyrmwick inspired many of [=LordKat=]'s followers to make Twitter accounts for... I mean, it inspired the people of the Wyrmwick universe to get Twitter accounts. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Yeah.]]
* DownerEnding: The 5/1/11 session ends with [[spoiler:Denora missing her eyes due to the White Orb, Greig and John being kidnapped by the Demon Baron's [[TheDragon Dragon]], and the rest of the group unable to help any of them for the time being.]] [=RolloT=] explicitly compared this ending to ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.

* FanArt: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140410004424/http://www.lordkat.com/wiki/index.php/The_Hermitage Quite a lot.]]
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Caitlin (On a technicality)
** TheLancer and TheSmartGuy: Dhother
** TheBigGuy: Jonn
** TheChick: Denora
** SixthRanger: Greig
** GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:Dahl]]

* [[spoiler:HeelFaceDoorSlam]]: [[spoiler:The Demon Baron, claiming he was more of a NobleDemon than outright villain, did his best to help Caitlin escape from his tower. Said actions have essentially cost him his life.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] randomly comes in during the fourth session and insults the players for laughing at [=LordKaT=]'s use of bee-worshiping soldiers. He goes too far and insults [=RolloT=]'s weight and the group's intelligence, and accuses them of "shitting on" [=LordKaT=]'s campaign, despite [=LordKaT=] himself laughing at their jokes and playing along. The game is somewhat uncomfortable to watch (or listen to) for a few minutes afterward, and it's clear that everyone is pretty annoyed or angry with Spoony's interruption (even the chat fills up with stuff like "Spoony, calm down" and "Spoony, stop being a jerk" and the like).

* KleptomaniacHero: During their time in Zeliah’s Crypt the party took just about everything that wasn’t nailed down [[spoiler:including the moss]].
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:Dahl.]]
* LesYay: The twin succubi encounter involved one succubus planting a nice kiss on Denora. [[spoiler:And Denora enjoyed it as well.]]

* MoodWhiplash: On the one hand you have things like LargeHam Eli and Duke Ned's DomesticAbuse of his son Timmy (played entirely for laughs). On the other, you have [[spoiler:Denora's eyeballs melting out of her head thanks to a magic artifact and a family being killed and fed to pigs for failing to pay three gold pieces in taxes.]]

* PalsWithJesus: [[spoiler:Well, 'pals' would be stretching it quite a bit...]]
* [[spoiler:PowerGivesYouWings]]: [[spoiler:Caitlin, after drinking a potion, now has dragon wings and may or may not be turning into the vessel for Bahamut. Since then, she has decided to become the firstborn of Bahamut.]]
* PutOnABus: Spoony's Character Azad Tyron left the group to return to the Underdark shortly after descovering what Olwaine had been doing to the Drow Slaves they recovered.

*** [[spoiler:TheBusCameBack:]] [[spoiler:Eli has returned as the new High Priest of the Church of Pelor in Collensgrove, thanks to the recommendation of the party, who got the old Priest committed unintentionally while using the secret portal in his closet.]]

** ArtImitatesLife: [[spoiler:A couple of days later, details surfaced about Osama bin Laden's death, which surprisingly mirrored Felbrigg's. The major difference being that bin Laden was buried at sea because no country would accept his remains.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Wez is Bahamut. Well, sort of. Part of Bahamut is trapped in the person known as Wez the Mad. The real Wesley is dead; however, the fragment of Bahamut that was not trapped in Zelilah's crystal (which is where most of his spirit was trapped) followed Wesley's body jumping experiments and survived to the present day. And Bahamut likes to turn things pink, apparently.]]

* RunningGag: Several so far.

* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Dhother and Caitlin
* SchrodingersGun: Lord Kat has admitted he had to use it when the players decided to take down Olwaine before they were supposed to.
* SeriousBusiness: In the 5/6 episode of ''That Tabletop Show'', [=LordKaT=] says that he got an email from a viewer who demanded that he {{Retcon}} the 5/1 session (see DownerEnding above) because it was so dark and depressing that it made the viewer cry. This was followed by [=RolloT=], Skitch, and Arclight defending the dark elements by pointing out that Wyrmwick may be silly but there's always been a serious undercurrent.
* ShoutOut: The VideoGame/DwarfFortress they go to is named {{LetsPlay/Boatmurdered}}.

* SlapSlapKiss: The joke is that Caitlin and Dhother act this way with the "kiss" occurring after the session ends.
* SuddenRealization: Dhother realizing [[spoiler:that the portals in the mountains where they find Harley may actually be allowing demons to move about the countryside, and evil forces such as Ghadi are helping.]]
* TalkingToHimself: [[spoiler:Subverted. Caitlin does not interact with Eli when the latter makes a return appearance.]]
** Played straight with [=NPCs=], as they are all voiced by [=LordKaT=].
* ThrowItIn: [=LordKaT=]'s approach to [=DMing=].
* TomboyandGirlyGirl: Caitlin and Denora, respectively.
* UnflinchingWalk: Session 14, as immortalized in [[https://web.archive.org/web/20141209232516/http://www.lordkat.com/wiki/images/1/1b/DnD_The_Toothpick_Brigade.png this picture.]]
* UnfortunateNames: Sometimes [=LordKaT=]'s random name generator produces some real stinkers, like Dahl (formerly Skynet Antigravity) the pirate and Pantikrabs. So far its only success was naming the group's ship: the ''[[AwesomeMcCoolname Mighty Gauntlet]]''.
** [[spoiler:Was. Bomar the Baker burned it to ashes. He made a campfire on the deck to bake bread on.]]
* VerbalTic: [[spoiler:Former party member]] Eli always would start a sentence with "I do believe".

--> "Caitlin! Fufufufufufufufufu..."

--> "Rrrrrootootootootootoot..."

--> "Bomar make bread! Bomar make dragon lady special bread."

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity
-->(from [=RolloT=]'s recap of Session 9) Apparently studying the arcane arts in this world leads you to be a complete freak. Note to self: kill all mages.

* Creator/LordKaT as the '''Dungeon Master'''

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: At one point during the game [=RolloT=] has mic problems and has to use the in-game chatbox. In the middle of a relatively unimportant discussion between Skitch and Lordkat, Nik and Chris can be seen in the chatbox arguing about half-dragon blowjobs.

* {{Jerkass}}: [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] randomly comes in during the fourth session and insults the players for laughing at LordKaT's use of bee-worshiping soldiers. He goes too far and insults [=RolloT=]'s weight and the group's intelligence, and accuses them of "shitting on" LordKaT's campaign, despite LordKaT himself laughing at their jokes and playing along. The game is somewhat uncomfortable to watch (or listen to) for a few minutes afterward, and it's clear that everyone is pretty annoyed or angry with Spoony's interruption (even the chat fills up with stuff like "Spoony, calm down" and "Spoony, stop being a jerk" and the like).

** When the party is going somewhere, people (mostly LordKaT) like to suggest that they go there through the Citadel of [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Gilgamad the Gruesome]]. (The Citadel is on the other side of the world map from Wyrmwick, giving them little reason to go there.)

** Played straight with [=NPCs=], as they are all voiced by LordKat.
* ThrowItIn: LordKat's approach to [=DMing=].

* WhamEpisode: In session 15, [[spoiler:LordKaT flat out murders Dahl, Alpert and the Demon Baron, Dhother goes insane, the party meets an orphan cannibal whose best friend is a skull named Mr. Chappy and Bomar burns down the party's boat.]]
* WhatTheHellPlayer: A minor version occurred when [=LordKat=] commented on the fact that everyone sat there staring for five minutes while Caitlin started growing wings (very painfully) and didn't lift a finger to help. He was mostly teasing though.

* DownerEnding: The 5/1/11 session ends with [[spoiler:Denora missing her eyes due to the White Orb, Greig and John being kidnapped by the Demon Baron's [[TheDragon Dragon]], and the rest of the group unable to help any of them for the time being.]] [=RolloT=] explicitly compared this ending to ''TheEmpireStrikesBack''.

* CrossOver: With {{Boatmurdered}}!

* ShoutOut: The VideoGame/DwarfFortress they go to is named {{Boatmurdered}}.

* FanArt: [[http://www.lordkat.com/wiki/index.php/The_Hermitage Quite a lot.]]
