Agnes is an average woman with a super-nerd for a sister. She always thought that eventually she and Tilly would have something to talk about, until Tilly’s life is cut short by a car accident. But that is not what this show is about. What it is really about is Agnes, while packing her sister’s room, finds a Dungeons and Dragons module that was created by Tilly. So she takes it to Chuck, the Dungeon Master, to lead her through the game. In it, Agnes fights alongside her sister Tilly and Tilly’s band of misfits – a sexy elf, a sassy warrior woman, and an unwilling orc. Together they battle fanged cheerleaders, exploding fairies and the ultimate Tiamat for Tilly’s lost soul.

Woman faces off against two dragons under dramatic red lighting.
The back of a woman, in armor tensely holding a sword.
A woman stands at the opening of a cave/balcony, looking off into the distance, yellow-orange lighting cascading her face..
A woman decked in a tutu,fuzzy neon green boots, and butterfly wings stands on a platform, a look of grace on her face as she holds her arms out.
A group of young women decked in armor triumphantly raise their weapons in a celebratory manner.
