High Hopes, Low Rolls is an animated series retelling the tale of a group of TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons players' campaign based loosely on the Tyranny of Dragons adventure.
Foul events have ravaged the continent of Arcadon. In the north, tales of dragons and war spread, and in the south, the town of Bay Hollow has been burned to ashes. Determined to bring the perpetrators to justice, Paddock Whitlaw, last son of the noble Whitlaw family, has joined a party of adventurers on a mission from the mayor of the Free State of Kadar. Will they fall prey to the great evils that are infecting the world, or will they maintain High Hopes?
The series is written and narrated by the group's Dungeon Master, Jenny Budd, drawn by Alex Brennan-Dent (Also known as [[https://abd-illustrates.tumblr.com ABD Illustrates]]) and Amy Manning ([[https://www.instagram.com/bin_witch_illustration/?hl=en Bin Witch Illustrations]]), and features the voices of the rest of the party. The first episode was dropped September 13th, 2019.
The series can be found on [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwZRhr0Xsxf7csWECf_Mmg ABDIllustrates's youtube channel]].
The story also has a [[https://highhopeslowrolls.tumblr.com Tumblr]].
!!High Hopes, Low Rolls provides examples of the following tropes:
* ArcSymbol: The stylized H of the High Hopes party. On a lesser note, the Evil is symbolized by a stylized star with five curved points. [[spoiler:The symbol of Tiamat]].
* ArcWords: "High Hopes" or "Have Hope".
* CastOfGay: Nagar is the only character so far to be straight.
** Paddy is gay (like his player)
** Torlin is bisexual
** Gimgar is Pansexual
** Rook's sexuality is "Magic"
** Gwing "Likes people"
** Ava's is not listed
* CharacterAlignment: The High Hopes players admit to put little focus on this in their games, but the characters still have canonical alignments:
** Nagar is LawfulGood (Although that came about recently)
** Gwing is NeutralGood
** Paddy and Torlin are ChaoticGood
** Rook is LawfulNeutral
** Ava is TrueNeutral
** Gimgar is ChaoticNeutral (Another that came about recently).
* CharmPerson: A variant, the ''Crown of Madness'' spell, is ABD's favorite spell, depicted as a wreath of leaves instead of flames. Apparently he's used it on a kraken.
* DoomedHometown: Paddy's hometown of Bay Hollow was burned to ashes while he was of with the circus.
* DraconicHumanoid: Nagar is a Dragonborn, which are this trope, despite being only vaguely related to dragons.
* FantasyCharacterClasses: Since the story is based on a D&D campaign, this is obviously featured. By appearance:
** Paddy is an Arcane Trickster Rogue.
** Gimgar is an Eldritch Knight Fighter/Totem Warrior Barbarian multiclass
** Ava is a Circle of the Land (Forest) Druid
** Nagar is a Berserker Barbarian (he'll later multiclass into Paladin)
** Rook Lunera is a School of Transmutation Wizard.
** Gwing is a Beast Master Ranger/Thief Rogue multiclass
** Torlin is a College of Valor bard.
** Jenny Budd is the dungeon master.
* InMediasRes: The series starts with Paddy joining High Hopes, but the party had been active for at least four years before that.
* ThemedTarotDeck: Currently only two cards are available on their redbubble store; The Sun for Paddy Whitlaw, and The Devil for a hitherto unnamed black dragon.
* TragicKeepsake: Paddy's mask was given to him by his family. The family who inhabited his DoomedHometown.
