Dungeon Crawler World: Earth

The Season · This Season

The season Cascadia showruns, gone catastrophically off the rails with a primal AI and no failsafe.

Story so far

Odette names it while introducing Cascadia to the council audience: "this kua-tin is none other than Cascadia, showrunner and executive producer of this season of Dungeon Crawler World: Earth."

This season is the strangest on record. The AI has officially Gone Primal absurdly early, there will be No Failsafe, the Scolopendra final boss has stirred well before anyone reaches the eighteenth floor, and for the first time both a crawler team (Princess Posse) and an NPC team (Team Retribution) sit at the warlord table. Odette's framing to the galaxy is that everyone is teetering on the edge of the horizon, waiting to see what the AI throws next at the crawlers and at the unwitting world leaders now fighting for their lives.

Role

The broadcast season itself, and the frame everyone at the council is performing for.

Relationships

Cascadia — Showrunner and executive producer.
The AI — Its runaway operator this season.
The Warlord Council — A mandated set piece within it.
