Приколы
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
“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
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
@@kharonhaden5136 everytime someone calls him by his first name, my brain lags lmao
Whoa timestamp? I couldn't find it
@@boglady6421your uhhhhhhh Brian lags?
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
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.
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 love this
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

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?”

@@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
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
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.
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

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.

Brennan's take on wild magic sorcerer is just an acid trip and it's beautiful
I mean they did choose to make a wild magic sorcerer that has a reliance on psychadelic mushrooms what else is supposed to happen😭 they already cant control their magic sober let alone while high
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.
"I fell off the ladder and the statue went up my butt.". This campaign is already nuts.
look...my mom was a nurse for almost 30 years...thats not even that uncommon...
The Mad Hacker I’m a medical graduate. That doesn’t surprise me anymore.
Pro tip if you ever do get something up there just tell the truth. It's already assumed no matter what that you did it
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 😅
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.

Cake Cinema oh yeah, thanks
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!"

after binging fantasy high it is so weird to hear lou talk without fabian’s voice
Papa!
Was literally thinking the same thing XD
same lol
Ikr
Fabian was legendary
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.

-St. Peter at the Pearly Gates
@@quinnsinclair7028 thanks for the spoiler warning or i would have just clicked read more
He should do voice acting or audio book reading, he has such a nice and distinct voice.
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.
@@kevinwillems8720 you’d be surprised how many people become doctors because they’re looking for a power trip

It’s not an episode of Dimension 20 unless Brennan immediately questions Emily’s character choices. “He just watched deer in the backyard?”

@@thegardenerofbones7598 It's Adine actually I believe
Legends say if any of Lou's characters ever fail to know that they're made of awesome, the world itself will cease to exist.
Lou is like D20's Sam. Just effortlessly charismatic and likeable but just in a completely different way . Was amazing to get to see them both together in EXU.
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!”
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'.

Speaking as a 30-year DM, Emily is a dream player. Completely into her characters emotional foundation, and massively talented in improv and story building. New players, please take notes!
‘Emily is one of the best D and D players there is… She was also sent from hell to kill me’
-Brennan Lee Mulligan
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!
Never forget Hilda Hilda.
*Brennan flexing New York on some unsuspecting nerds for 2 hours and 9 minutes*

This is incredible. The sheer density of world-building brilliance... it'd be easy to miss absolute gems like "bridge and tunnel troll" because you're distracted by "SantaCon is a bunch of failed clones being dropped off under the Umbra Arcana."
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.

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.

I love how this entire episode was just a series of scenes that end with _"I know a guy!"_
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.

@@wouldiwasshookspeared4087 their* (ally uses they/them)
Imagine if he'd rolled to start on anyone else! Now banish the thought
I love, and will always love, the "el-geh-beh-tuh ally" line.
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
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
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.

“I grew up with twins and one of them was worse than the others so I get that” I died
Dimension 20 is just a show to do improv comedy scapegoating as D&D with a gay twist and I'm 114% here for it
100% this, I love the energy they created here
Wait, I thought D&D was always improv with a gay twist?
@@jare3959 yeah
What a great GM. The accents, the narration, the great planned and impromptu stuff. And the players! Engaged in the roleplay and immersed in the story so clearly. Enjoyable is an understatement, Amazing is somewhat closer.
Oh yeah, Brennan Lee Mulligan is what I aspire to be one day when I run campaigns. Absolute legend of a man
@@joe.5103 glad to meet another fan!
The chick with the green hair pisses me off
@@Gustav-lj1wb why?
@@cianmcewen4918 cuz she says she’s trans even tho it’s not a thing
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 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:
Kugrash just inserting "Santa claus is dead!" Into any conversation is pure gold.
46:08 that "sofia le- bicicleta" was so subtle but so brilliant what *_talent_*
Emily Axeford's improv rocks my universe
Ricky Matsui going "Awesome" at almost every end of his sentences is so funny
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
ricky’s such a himbo it’s astounding
Himbo is hilarious since bimbo was already a masculine term in the original Italian.
@@stevecarter8810 Oh yeeeaaahhh like the little bear fella
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.
@@P4rz1va1 ah some advice. Using transsexuals is sort of outdated as a heads up. And nothing I said is wrong lol
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
Murphys smile as he sees his wife describe her divorced charecter is priceless
