*** Originally, Rekha Shankar, another long-time College Humor/Dropout cast member, was meant to be in the party; however, for currently unspecified reasons, it didn't work out. As a result, Ally Beardsley would become a member of the Intrepid Heroes cast, while Rekha would feature in several sidequests.

* WordOfGod: Brennan has claimed that, in the world of Spyre (where "Fantasy High", "The Seven" and "Pirates of Leviathan" all take place), other schools teach adventurers with different RPG systems; he specifically said that the school which uses ''TableTopGame/Pathfinder'' caters to solo adventurers, as the gulf in power between a ''Pathfinder'' character and a ''5e'' character is so vast that one adventurer in the former system can do the work of a whole party in the latter.

** A comment from Brennan implies that, during Season 2 of The Unsleeping City, Pete was meant to be sucked into the deep dreaming by the BigBad of the season and essentially die but because Ally [[BornLucky rolled a Nat 20 and successfully cast banishment on it]], that didn't happen. Specifically, Brennan said that the only reason he allowed that to happen on a Nat 20 was because there was a break in shooting where he could try to re-rail his campaign.

*** The season was supposed to be around 25 episodes long, but lost time due to shooting complications, cutting out several events that already had sets and minis being made. Among them were an arena fight in Carn, the capitol of the Meatlands, and a fight in a pleasure grotto in Uvano against the Sanctus Putris, a rot cult B-list group of antagonists.

** Like A Crown of Candy before it, each player in The Ravening War had a backup character in case their character died: Kahfeer Activan-Balfour, a fanatical yogurt follower of a giant SCOBY referred to as "The Mother" (Lou); Zhyr Kaban, a bacon meatlander diplomat (Brennan); Lady Melys of House Manuka, a honey woman who was obsessed with becoming a queen (Aabria); Flakey Smuthers, a megachurch pastor-esque biscuits and gravy cleric of the Bulb (Zac); and Old Granny Pom, an old blackberry woman whose goal in life was messing with people (Anjali). Since no one died before the last episode, none of the players got to play their background characters, although Flakey Smuthers appeared as a minor antagonist in episode 5.

* EnforcedMethodActing: [[RealLifeWritesThePlot During A Crown of Candy, a fire inspection found the dome set unsafe,]] so production was moved to a warehouse. The loss of time from moving and rebuilding the set made them have to film in large chunks late into the night, which clearly made the stress from an already intense season much harder to handle. The cast has also expressed no interest in revisiting A Crown of Candy, as this made their real-world relationships strained at times.
** Very deliberately averted in later seasons. Players in The Seven and A Starstruck Odyssey occasionally break character to confirm that they're all okay, and Shriek Week specifically hired a coordinator to advise the cast and ensure they were all comfortable with the increased sexual content of the season.

** Season 17, ''Dungeons and Drag Queens'', shares the name with an ongoing live show in Seattle; per their FAQ, the Dimension 20 crew made sure to get the blessing of that show before titling their season as such.
