7 | Past Division is a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' actual play podcast hosted by the gaming group Company of Fools. 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. |

31 | * OurGoblinsAreDifferent: The goblins in "Cleanup Duty" are [[spoiler:5'6"]]. |

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). |

43 | * TimeStandsStill: The Staff of Distort Time can do this. |
