The story centers around four recently-dead misfits--the dwarven cleric Drake Hothands, the tiefling chronomancer Lucky Twice, the carolili tarocchi Lolli Rose, and the bearkin shinobi Peter Panda--their deaths, and their subsequent recruitment by the five Guardians of Time. The podcasts follows them on their missions, and the people they meet on their adventures.

14	!! This show provides examples of:
15	* AnAdventurerIsYou: Drake is the Healer, Lucky and Lolli are ranged DPS, and Peter is the Blademaster.
16	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Drake, Lolli, and Peter are all young adults by their respective races' standards...and then there's seventeen-year-old Lucky Twice.
17	* TheBigGuy: Peter, who is both physically bigger than the rest of the party and the strongest party member.
18	* CardsOfPower: Being a tarocchi means Lolli uses her tarot deck as an arcane focus.
19	* CoolOldGuy: Thorn, the astral plane's Battle Master, is in his late fifties but has the statistics of a level twenty fighter.
20	* DeadToBeginWith: The characters die just before the campaign begins; the downtime between missions takes place in the Astral Plane.
21	* DownerEnding: "Lost City" ends with [[spoiler:the entire population of Carrok being brutally murdered and the city being removed from time]].
22	* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Thorn says this almost verbatim when he meets the Past Division.
23	* FunnyAnimal: Peter is an anthropomorphic panda bear.
24	* GroinAttack: Drake loves going for the junk.
25	* HornedHumanoid: As a tiefling, Lucky has a pretty impressive set of horns.
26	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Peter is 7'6", Lolli is 3'3".
27	* IronicName: The girl who drank herself to death is named ''Lucky''.
28	* TheMedic: Drake, being a life cleric, serves as the team's healer.
29	* MundaneAfterlife: The astral plane (at least, the section of it responsible for the Time Masters) takes the form of a combination hotel and mall.
30	* {{Ninja}}: Peter, despite being TheBigGuy, is a shinobi.
31	* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: The goblins in "Cleanup Duty" are [[spoiler:5'6"]].
32	* PlantHair: Lolli has flower petals in place of hair.
33	* PlantPerson: Lolli is a carolili, a member of a race of sapient flower people.
34	* PlayingWithFire: As a flameborn dwarf, Drake can innately produce fire.
35	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Basically the only thing tying the Past Division together is that they all died at roughly the same time.
36	* SelfDuplication: Herbert, the villain of "Lost City", can create time remnants of himself [[spoiler:because he's a paradox demon]].
37	* SkewedPriorities: The party reacts to [[spoiler:Carrok's disappearance]] by complaining that now they're going to be assigned to [[TrainingFromHell cleanup duty]].
38	* SpeciesSurname: Peter '''Panda''' (an anthropomorphic panda bear). To a lesser extent, Lolli '''Rose''' (a PlantPerson specifically modeled after flowers).
39	* TeamPrimaDonna: Lolli has a bit of a bratty streak.
40	* TeamTitle: The podcast is called Past Division, after the title the party holds.
41	* TimeMaster: As a chronomancer, Lucky has control over time (albeit on a more limited scale than the Guardians of Time).
42	* TimePolice: The purpose of the Time Masters, and therefore the Past Division.
43	* TimeStandsStill: The Staff of Distort Time can do this.
