I would appreciate as few spoilers as possible.

I recently got a dropout subscription and wanted to make my way through the D20 seasons. The premise of Fantasy High really appeals to me because it reminds me a bit of the Magicians books, with the way magic has a more modern world to play in.
I've seen the first two episodes so far, and while the high school intro was very alienating to me, l figured that it was just going to be a neat/funny intro and Brennan has absolutely riffed about not having then high school experience before so it didn't really bother me that much. I assumed the campaign would carry on with other things.

But then at the end of episode two when they resolve the fight it's basically hard-confirmed that the party will all be going to class, including classes they’re not even taking and even seems like that will play a somewhat prominent role in the campaign, as the initial plot hook for the party involves it.

Are these kind of aspects and themes present throughout the campaign or do they fade into the background as time goes on and the focus is elsewhere?

I really want to get into this one but stuff like this really turns me off of media generally.

I got my army box today, and was disappointedly surprised to see several bits missing of multiple sprues. I found a couple of loose bits in the box as expected, but some are just gone, most unfortunately one of the maulbeasts set of horns, but also parts from the ironguts sprue.

Box was still taped up and undamaged, so it seems like this was an issue on the packing side of things as best I can guess.

Since I’ve never had more than one sprue with a bit missing before, usually found in the box, this is pretty wild to me. Like, I really wouldn’t think anything of it all if it had just been one sprue, but multiple in the same box feels crazy, doesn’t it?

Anyone else had issues with theirs?

[for the solution oriented commenters: I already emailed GW, and got in touch with my local store who didn’t have an extra box to trade but are gonna be getting in touch with their GW rep on Monday, too, so I have faith I’ll get this sorted out. I just wanted to post about it and see if this was a wider issue.]
