Ignoring Lore because the NPC is Cute | D&D: Altered Interlude
The newest upload on World of Io is twelve hours old and already moving faster than anything else on the channel: "An Allergic Reaction in a Potion Shop," a clip from The Devil's Due, the IO5e campaign Brett Ultimus runs with Masae, Naomi, TheCrownedDM and Tomato. Eight videos went up over the week, pulled from three different tables.
The one with the biggest total, though, is a little different. "Ignoring Lore because the NPC is Cute" turns a moment from Altered Interlude, streamed in July, into animation by Burd_Bones. A blindfolded player asks whether she can look at a statue, then whether she can look at a woman, and Naglo answers with a shout that half the comment section now quotes back. Many viewers are simply excited that this campaign is getting animations at all, and some are delighted to finally see Naglo's legs drawn to scale, or to meet Demetria in motion. It passed 1.5 million views.
Icewind Dale had its own say. "Carried by Horsepower," from the Rime of the Frostmaiden hardcore run with Juniper, LobosJr, Lawlman, TheCrownedDM and Tom Fawkes, first aired in May 2025 and drew more than 700,000 views in its first day back.
The channel as a whole ran at about half its usual daily pace, while adding around 4,000 subscribers to reach 430,000. Even so, among the tabletop and anime channels nearest its size, only zsy gained more views over the week; Min-Maxed and Rumpus were steady but below their norm.
