BECAUSE I DONT READ SHORT STORIES
Emily is a dnd player I aspire to be
Was having a bad day, stuck in over an hour long traffic going into work. Emily drops that line and I'm dyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyying! LOL!! Day is insta-better.
Her dialogue is absolutely spot on.
You should never dis a comedian, they will eat you alive
Emily somehow cast vicious mockery and everyone in the bar was there for it
I wish I could do that out of game
“Did someone shoot Santa?”
“I don’t know, I’m not religious.”
Lmfao best part just saying
[Loads a shotgun] hes about to be
that scene is playing right now. So, funny
I cannot get over how good Brennan is at playing Kingston's mother. I was not expecting this white man to embody my grandma. omg
"I thought it was just this plate!" 😭😭😭
RIGHT?? like that’s Black Relative Over 55 Energy
I have bad news…the person you thought was your mother was actually Brennan in a mask
@@monokumaprincipalofhopespe8295 idk if that's bad or good news
@@monokumaprincipalofhopespe8295 I’ve been duped😂 but fr he’s hella good at bringing the npcs to life
This is stupid but brennan’s “lgbt” in that Russian accent had me CRYING it’s so funny
Same, that shit sent me for a minute
ITS SO PERFECT
Il-ge-bitte
I love Lugash, I hope he shows up again. (no spoilers please.
El ge bitte el aye
I feel like this campaign was made just so that Brennan could have an excuse to both gush and complain about his home town.
It most likely was
Or it was made to play into Brennen's childhood dreams of there being magic in NYC
And to swear a bunch
New York is a hell town for bastard people.
Its also the best fuckin place on earth.
I mean he had to get out of there.
For some reason my brain can't handle that they sit in different positions from Fantasy High
If you check they barely moved them. Aly is swapped with Murph, Lou with Siobhan, and Emily with Zac, the only major camera change is Lou and Siobhan which granted through me for a second.
@@TheSlick44y there are six people at this table and, as you just stated, every single one is in a new place
dude
same
well at least they're all on the same side of the table as they were
@@wildpath6730 No Lou is different
First Gorgug and Now Ricky, Zac is a huge fan of playing characters that really nail the whole "Pure of heart! dumb of ass!" i love Ricky already
Crouching idiot, hidden badass
Ah yes, the twink dreams of being a himbo
And whenever he plays anything else, the universe decides he will not. (Shoutout to Lapan 😢😢)
Pov he's not playing a character HE is the pure of heart and dumb of ass
@@superslayer1770 Honestly, Lapin was awesome. As a frail, intellectual warlock with a quite complex personality, he's a far cry from Zac's typecast. And the play he made at the end of Episode 4 was when Brennan realized that Lapin was too powerful to live.
Brian nervously fiddling with his wedding ring while Emily's character goes on and on about her divorce is so pure
Right?? And just the way they look at eachother all the time is so sweet 😭💕 like they are having little conversations of their own and their little grins, gahh.
I was so confused for a second until I remembered Murph’s first name is Brian

I feel like censoring these characters is doing a disservice to their abilities to role play New Yorkers.
I think it's uncensored on dropout. It is jarring, and honestly I would prefer the bleep censor than just sudden silence.
@@xxxdumbwordstupidnumberxxx4844 yeah it kinda throws me off. With any censorship I find myself thinking of every possible word that makes sense which is confusing and distracting.
Comments like this are why my understanding of New York is basically "downtown, but it's the entire town"
@@lindseyfrancesco4 bro you don’t even know
It's discrimination, really. That's censoring cultural heritage.
One day I hope ally will make a character that has a healthy relationship with their parents
GYAHA
I think their character from Crow of Candy does, but I'm just assuming from the D20 shorts I've seen, 'cause I haven't watched that campaign yet.
Honestly, I'd be content to see one that isn't a lightning-rod for fever-dream sequences.
@@Caitydid561 Liam in a Crown of Candy has what passes for a good relationship in the world. They have some issues, but given the other issues and family drama happening between the PC's and the world, Liam is on pretty solid ground with his parents.
@@kylebeardsley6200 if nothing else, Joren accepted Liam's asexuality despite being... probably the most sexual character in D20. Thats gotta count for something. Also yeah compared to the mess that is Amethar (Lous character for the uninitiated) and his whole family (including Ruby and Jet, Siobhans and Emily's characters in that campaign), it is for sure some of the more wholesome content in ACOC. Btw, if anyone is reading this thread out of morbid curiosity, I highly recommend subbing to dropout for ACOC - that season is by far my favorite of the inteprid hero seasons, and has some of the most dramatic storytelling and emotional gutpunches, alongside some comedic goldmines (Swifty, Slammed Down Big Style, Gooey and Theos weird relationship, Primsy, etc.). Honestly, if fantasy high weren't available for free on youtube, ACOC would be what I recommend to D20 newcomers. Sorry I'm just kinda gushing about this campaign now lmao, just thanks for reading this comment if ya did, and I hope yall watch ACOC.
6:15 his tattoos are Russian phrases:
1. “love is eternal”
2. “handwriting” or “manuscripts” which feels as part of a famous quote which translates as “manuscripts do not burn”, it is a quote from “Master and Margarita” by Bulgakov (famous Russian author)
3. my personal favorite: the third word translates as “skill”, and it also feels like a beginning of a famous Russian saying which roughly translates as “a skill can not be drunk away” or “a skill can not be spend on a drink”
this is brilliant, it is so heartwarming to see people doing research about your language and culture and actually using it the correct way instead of choosing simple mockery (like bears and vodka…)
and also I can easily imagine these phrases as tattoos
and it is also very funny
you could have just wrote some nonsense and the absolute majority of people wouldn’t have noticed anyway, but you chose to do something cool and that is so wholesome
thank you guys, you all are wonderful
Wow, do they all seem to have a theme of strengths, virtues, good being able to endure hardship? Thanks for this ^_^
Круто что я не один пытался понять откуда татуировки
All the group's "modern world" take on D&D classes are cool, but I've gotta say that I really like Zac's portrayal of Ricky just as a great example of a Paladin in _any_ setting. Finally someone playing a Paladin who goes, "What if he's just a really nice guy?"
I feel as if that's optimal for a Paladin anyway, I mean, you've got so much of an helper complex that you've made it your religion, how wouldn't you be a nice person?
'Lawful Good' does *not* mean 'Lawful Nice'.
lydia diddia BUT IT CAN!!!! You’re completely right btw but I..... i just wanna be extremely nice and handsome....
@@lydiadiddia6428 but,,, what if you were nice
I saw Ricky’s design and immediately went “that’s a good soft boi, I wanna hug him”
I love that Murph heard New York rpg and decided he was gonna play a god damn rat
All we need now is a ninja tortle.
apparently he was gonna go as a rat/other animal infestation exterminator, but instead went for an actual rat 😂
@@alijoc epic and valid
Pretty sure it was partly due to Emily’s sexy rat bit

I’m fully convinced that Sofies husband Dale is based off the guy recording deer in his back yard and sneezing, scaring them off, and his wife starts yelling at him “what I can’t sneeze now?”

I loved how when Emily mentioned a rat guy helping her through a hangover the camera panned over to Murph looking embarassed.
Time stamp, tried to catch it but I missed.
45:00
Oh yeah, Murph totally got Emily an egg sandwich and a Gatorade for a recent hangover. That was such a sweet little moment
Hope some gets this reference “hey there it’s josh welcome back to let’s game it out”
@@tzeechgodofchange3197 oh theres a grace? perfect
The opening sequence for Pete is a fucking masterpiece.
It's such a great blind introduction, letting us experience the supernatural world for the first time through the eyes of someone who is also experiencing it for the first time.
Probably the best beginning to any D20 campaign at just how good it introduces the world and sets up the plot.
Just stunning.
"Maybe see a therapist- THAT'S A THIRD ONE!"
especially since it was by chance that Pete was introduced first, it was meant to be
I love how Lugash just straight up turns your expectations of what a Mob Doctor would be like on its head. You'd probably expect him to be rough, abrasive, mean, etc etc. But he's actually super sweet and supportive, which makes sense, since most people who train to be doctors do so because they wanna help people.
Expecting a mob doctor, who is dealing with injured mobsters, to be abrasive is just expecting they have a very short life span.
Ideally most train to be doctors to help people.

@@williammckenzie5008 I believe, for this season, they started at level 3. In the first season, Fantasy High, they started at 1st level, which was appropriate both for the young characters and mostly inexperienced players.
Thank you
I love Kingston Brown. A cleric who's deity is the city itself and is just nice to everyone. Amazing
Siobhan's portrayal of someone who draws power from the adoration of others, but instead of draining it from them in a toxic way, she literally gets power from empowering, inspiring, and lifting up others is such a dope turn from the traditional portrayal of "glamour" powered charecters as parasitic. I love it
That name is spelt Siobhan, if that’s of any aid to you
Oh crap my bad 😅😅😅
@@marcetteb6064 Well it only took a year and a half but I finally corrected the name of one of my top 20 faves performers 😅 Sorry Siobhan! I spell everything phonetically 😅
I love how Lou role plays Kingston. His confidence and self assurance is fuckin perfect for the character “I’m 55 years old I can take care of myself! Why don’t you get your kids to school on time?!”
Right off the bat, I think Kingston is going to be one of my favourite characters. He's older, and with that you get some nice advantages that you have established credibility into this world. You have family, you have a well placed job, you have history with the story. It proves to me that Lou knows how to take characters and put soul into them. I literally can imagine Kingston in a movie like reel doing that bit with his cousin. Absolutely amazing.
There's this great moment in the second season...
Spoilers
...Where Kingston finds out that a non copyright equivlent of amazon is buying up massive pieces of NY real estate and putting New Yorkers out of work and home and "This isn't happening, not in my city. This means war."
And Brennan says "As Kingston says this his voice reverberates outward and you suddenly become aware that his title, Vox Populi, Voice of the People, is not figurative. He speaks for the people of New York, and they've just declared war on Amazon."
It's amazing. He such a good character.

On my first watch I expected Sophia to be that bitter divorce that's like "You don't KNOW him! In five years he's just gonna up and leave you and you'll wonder if he finally just got sick off you!"
But she was so encouraging and all women supporting women and I was like "oh I love her!"
and now having seen her whole arc I'm like "Can she just be my aunt/older female mentor friend"
Fr I was pleasantly surprised when she said “You leave that bachelorette alone! She’s got a good long life ahead of her!”

Made it even better when he became the big dumb hulk in Starstruck
The question is, which is the superior rat; the mythical rat jesus or the legendary sexy rat
man, i fucking love how respectful and tactful all of the things that could EASILY be offensive/jokes are when done by brennan. Talking about a transgender PC's top surgery/father deadnaming them or having Black characters played by a white DM talking in a slight AAVE + NY accent could be ABSOLUTELY NIGHTMARISH given the wrong DM. But Brennan ain't the wrong DM.
The defining factor there is respect and collaboration with the people being represented :)
These people are his friends and some of them are transgender or black. How could he not be respectful? That would be pretty messed up.
@@P4rz1va1 ... as a trans person you would be shocked how many friends make mistakes and assumptions of what they should or can say. But this dm is very kind and just real so no worries of that.
@@jaycebechtol8448 honestly I don't think being kind and real has much to do with it. He's just used to being around transsexual people. I'm kind and real and my friend still has to correct me every so often when I don't realize something is offensive.

I'm sure you don't read the comments here, but something I just wanted to say is that a character like Wally is nice to see in any media. My son has Down syndrome, and I doubt you intended Wally to seem like this, but his persona just reminded me of my son. It's nice to see some kind of representation, although I know it was unintended. I doubt anyone will read this or reply, but I suppose I'm saying it anyways. Have a nice day.
I think it might have been intentional in the best way possible
Yknow considering Brennan and the amazingly casual ways he does representation, perhaps this isn’t too far off
I agree with the comments above. With how he represents characters in every facet, he is an extremely thoughtful and empathetic person.
Dr. Lugash Primjitzki’s tattoos are in russian XD his right hand says “love never ends” and on the left i think it says “mastering” i think im not sure of the other one i cant really see it XD
"love is eternal", "mastery", and, for some reason, "manuscript".
Yeah, that seems right. (*Ba dum tish*)
Love ends at them STRANGLING HANDS
And one of the letters in love is turned sideways lol
I'm probably wrong, but I got the impression (maybe it was just because of his appearance) that Dr. Lugash might be a golem whose creator erased the ת in the אמת on his forehead to let him become human.

RIGHT?!?!?!
Brennan really loves RPing with Emily and Lou so much. Especially Emily, he matches her crackhead energy with his own level headed DM energy so well. God damn, i love watching these guys play.
I love watching him and Emily, the goldenrod/fig interactions in fantasy high were great.
But Lou just leans in to the epic moments and Brennen just eats it up.
Seacaster manor, bill seacasters last stand, the bloodball games, fighting on the dragons back etc... Lou and Brennan have awesome energy crafting epic scenes... when the rolls go his way and don't cause him to run in terror continually or slip off of tables and side rails.
year late to this conversation, but he was really good in NADDPOD, episode ...60 ish? They played off each other so well!

The "Start spreading the news/I'm leaving today/I want to ***be*** a part of it" said in such a sinister voice gave me fucking *chills* when I saw it the first time.
It's so fucking genius, and absolutely *terrifying* in that context.
i dont understand, could you maybe elaborate on why you thought it was so sinister? sorry
@10,000 bees in a trenchcoat
Well it's the fact that those famous lyrics (to "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra) are being said by something that sounds incredibly evil, and using them to imply that it's coming out of whatever dark place it's currently residing in.
It's just a brilliant way of setting up the Big Bad in this campaign, which was developed as a huge love letter to New York and New York culture.
It IS indeed pretty fuckin terrifying. But as a fan of the song, it still kills me hearing the song lyrics being used with like nobody acknowledging at all.
@@Spooderman-sq5ujI took the laughter after Brennan said the first line as acknowledgement, I think they all know the song lyrics lol
The characters of Sofia and Kugrash have the best chemistry! "Santa's real and you're a rat..." lmao
Maybe it's because they're married
that has the same energy as adiane saying “Magic is real and so is my frog!”
1:43:40
"I DONT READ SHORT STORY'S!!!!"
And I love the complete 180 from Pete and Sophia to Ricky and kingston
I was starting to wonder if they were all about to be severely broken people XD Still ready for some surprises down the road of course!
Half the cast is broken people, the other half have all their stuff together.
@@wolfofsummerbreeze
So true, half the story is always "My family doesn't love me and I have depression" and then literally everyone else is "I ride the dragon, killing the god of death with my bare hands while my loving family cheers for me"
Brennan has such a high skill for doing voices and control of pitch that I am surprised that he is not making big money as a voice actor.
He essentially is by doing this
He needs more lol. But true.@shotosynthesis312
Brennan doing audiobooks would be OP.
I’ve always wanted to watch critical role type stuff, and I could just never get never get into it, but Brennan manages to just captivate me like no other person!
I've watched a lot of D&D content, even in the era before CritRole when it was harder to find. Brennan is by far my favorite DM from any group I've encountered. You should give NADDPOD (Not Another D&D Podcast) a try if you haven't already and you're looking for more content to consume.
Murph is the DM over there and Emily is one of the regular players, and sometimes other D20 cast members make appearances on there and it's great too.
This has better pacing
I needed this in my life so badly
46:08 that "sofia le- bicicleta" was so subtle but so brilliant what *_talent_*
Emily Axeford's improv rocks my universe
I love how the dm just goes into such picturesque descriptions. It's very enjoyable.
Have you checked out Brennan (the DM)'s comic with Molly Ostertag, Strong Female Protagonist? I just binge-read it and it's SO GOOD. If you enjoyed this, I think you'll dig that, too.
It's the little details that can truly bring a story to life
I'm using him to learn how to dm
If you like this type of stuff watch not another dnd podcast and or trinyvale they are both great campaigns
I love natural and smooth all of this feels, it almost feels scripted
Edit: Sofia supporting that bride with her drunk speech is the best thing ever
I love how this entire episode was just a series of scenes that end with _"I know a guy!"_
"I might as well microwave some cheese and start my day" now lives in my head rent-free.
Worst part?....i used to do this......and o feel kinda called out lol
I'm here because I finished Fantasy High.
same
Make sure you guys watch watch Dimension20 Live on Twitch
Ay, we got another Starkid!
I fucking love dimension 20. I’m binging it’s content
Got to
I love how Brennan expresses a sense of amused delight when someone is doing something mischievous, silly or surprising by sticking out his tongue. I picked up that habit as a kid, but I don't really see many people do this! 😝 I'm having fun with the false correlation that temporarily being homeschooled left us both with more time to explore unique mannerism options 😆
Omg, I was homeschooled and do this too- is that a homeschool thing?? XD
_I do it too but not homeschooled- weird kid quirk as well?_
I do this too but I started it bc of Phil from Dan and Phil and I haven't been able to stop in the past 8 years
Brennan is so good as a gm, I love how he lets the players get into their character by asking how they are thinking. Gives them a way of thinking to get into character
Zac keeps picking big strong, semi dumb, very kind characters and I'm so here for it
Wait til crown of candy
@@wolfofsummerbreeze such a stark shift in character style for CoC. He plays it amazingly
He likes Himbos
"The Unsleeping City" is such a good play on the nickname "The City That Never Sleeps"
“He goes to say your deadname”
Me: >:(
“Then bubbles proceed to fall out of his mouth, carrying him away”
Me: >:D
“I grew up with twins and one of them was worse than the others so I get that” I died

Perfect! I'm doing a quick click-through now that more episodes are uploaded here on YT. Couldn't do it without ya!
Oh so you are the Flando of Dimension 20

I love how the different classes they chose sort of dictated whether or not they knew about the unsleeping city. Like, of course Kugrash, Misty, Kingston, and Ricky all knew about it because their specific classes give them magic that they control and understand, where as Sofia is a drunken master monk, a class that does not use magic or spells, and Pete is a wild magic sorcerer, so his magic hadn't been realized at this time and therefore it was reasonable that he didn't know about the unsleeping city either.
I still get emotional when I see the intro for Pete. This was one of the first Dimension 20 episodes I ever watched. Now I'm almost fully caught up with all the seasons, and all the episodes. The intro for Pete still gets me. The use of Sinatra, every part of it is utterly brilliant.
Ricky Matsui going "Awesome" at almost every end of his sentences is so funny
Character Intros:
2:56 Pete
29:10 Sofia
50:59 Ricky
1:13:50 Kingston
1:34:45 Kugrash
1:49:03 Misty
Thanks for the reference when I rewatch.
Obrigado

@@TheBestGoblinKing .....mr roboto
@@guywhotellsthetime1585 thank you friend, you were brave enough to say what we all were thinking
Thank you.
Murph's affinity for tiny wild creatures is admirable
We love our trash goblin dad.
I feel like if someone ever have to play a live action Bill Cipher, Brennan is the right guy
This is one of the most correct opinions I’ve ever seen
ABSOLUTE ACCURATE TAKE
Most sane Brennan character portrayal:
i LOVE the switch from fantasy high of lou playing a caring loving town favorite hero type while SIOBAN plays the arrogant confident rich famous person
