Alex has absolutely stolen the show for me already. They've created just... the saddest little wet cat of a boy. 'Scrappy street kid who just needs an adult to give a shit about them' is one of my favorite tropes in the world, which makes it all the funnier that one of these adults is just 100% ready to throw down with this kid at all times. Also, I can't help but notice that the Fix seems to care a lot about orphans..... 👀maybe enough to adopt one???
I love that this campaign isn't run with a big fancy game map and miniatures, as is often done. Instead, it is, in fact, being played in the... *Theater of the Mind.*
most of us would be nervous. cameras plus famous people. it's hard to process until you've done a couple times. probably made worse because hank is "in the know" regarding each of his fellow cast members popularity within their overlapping fanbase
It’s crazy how good he is in that role. That matter-of-fact, almost singsong intonation while he hints at the possibility of being punched out of existence gives the performance such a pleasantly quiet menace.
@@bluehairedemonI think Freddie wanted his character’s name to not be wordplay after hearing that everyone else’s character was. Don’t quote me on that I forget where I heard it.
As I said to my friend, "I'm glad to see he's continuing the Glenn Close trend of: DM: That's a pretty hefty ask, it's gonna take a pretty high dice roll to convince them Freddie: Heh, you fool! *passes the check*"
It's crazy to see someone doing literally the exact thing they should be doing. It's so rare for someone to have a job that perfectly aligns with who they are, but then here's Brennan, getting paid to be exactly Brennan, and killing it.
Reminds me of his mom's story of Brennan getting upset because the other kids wouldn't do what he told them to do 😂. He's really found his niche. More power to the guy
That komodo dragon "fact" is actually incorrect. They are, in fact, venomous and don't just have "dirty" saliva like previously believed. Although their main attack still relies on the bite leading to blood loss and shock.
@@AllTheArtsywell, he did say they weren't -poisonous-, not that they weren't -venomous- 🙃 okay, he also said the "bacteria in their mouth" act like "a toxic venom"
Alex's delivery is so perfectly understated that it makes every line 10x funnier. I never thought Id laugh about a sticky note but I completely lost it when they said "its a very removable adhesive" in their quiet little sad voice
Thank you to whoever writes these captions. Writing "hoit" instead of hurt, when Brennan said it in the noir accent, is awesome. These captions are on point and I thank you.
@@fisheatsyourhead it would be less useful to deaf people, who may have never heard an accent. I still appreciate that they caption what is actually said and it shows that there is a human being paid to type it out, instead of being given to an AI to do.

hiya you are inhumanly quick at this! how do you manage that? do you work with people from CR and D20? do you figure out all the timestamps beforehand and set up a comment bot for when the video goes live? what is you secret?
Dropout & dimension 20 are well worth their low price of admission, it's the only subscription I recommend to folks. I also highly recommend Tiny Heist. It's another short side quest that I've rewatched a dozen times. It's my favorite campaign ever put to video.
Yeah now three eps in and I’m actually loving Conrad so much, I usually don’t either much but I’d honestly able to not fade away with all these other huge personalities and characters in the room.
Brennan: "How does it rain inside of a brain?" Mike: "A BRAIN STORM!" Brennan: 😲😲😲 There's a reason why Mike wrote some of the absolute best skits at CH.
I watched this on dropout now im watching it again here for the algorithm, I can't stress enough how this is my favorite setting already. The dropout regulars are killing it (this episode convinced me that Trapp and Siobhan need to do all their scenes together, insane comedic chemistry) and the guest players are literally jaw-droppingly incredible. As someone who knows Hank Green as my tiktok uncle watching him play a genuinely menacing character is so terrifying, and I'm convinced Alex is the funniest person on the planet. And Freddie Wong coming in hot with that Dan Fucks persona giving Matt Berry flamboyance!!! As a longtime D20 fan who can't decide what their fave season is, this one's already making a strong case for itself.
Yeah! The way she makes two mistakes by saying seven (counting both the sibling she's speaking to and the dead one among the "other siblings who will mourn the loss of the seventh sibling"), and then correcting only ONE of those mistakes is incredible 😂 I wonder which of the two issues A. Tension noticed to "correct" to 6?
I absolutely ADORE the work that the lighting and set crew have done! 😮💨 When the dome shifted to Hunch’s office and the lights from the shuttered window (that’s NOT THERE AT ALL) cast on Brennan’s face?? 🤯
I love how The Fix's threat initially looked like it would be funny, and then it became one of the most terrifying pieces of dialogues the show's ever soon
36:12 I noticed while rewatching a little hint that Anastasia is part of the Pulse family. Freddy Focus says, "the people whose name you are so graciously not using," clearly referring to her family connections.
One of my favourite first episodes ever. Everyone's characters are beautifully realised and they already working together as a team (for jokes mostly at the moment). Also love seeing Brennan have so much fun. My several of my special interests smashed together leading to my fave season? Big Hank Green yes
As someone who struggles with Misophonia, I feel so valid seeing the trigger warnings in the description of this video. It’s the first time I’ve seen my disorder mentioned anywhere outside of my doctor’s office, and it makes me feel like other people know it’s not all in my head. Thanks for making my day a little better D20 team :)
I feel you. I struggle with wet mouth noises and nose sounds but I never see misophonia addressed as a warning. The sounds in this episode didn't really trigger me because they were quite short, but it's still nice to have a heads up.
That's awesome :) . Can I ask, did any part of the episode trigger your Misophonia? I already watched the episode when it was released on Dropout and don't remember any unusual sounds. Though maybe I've forgotten and maybe I'll notice on this rewatch.
@@8Rincewind not in this one in particular. I too watched it first on dropout and didn't really notice. There were moments in other episodes that triggered me though. I love Brennan, but I just can't stand eating and talking 😬.
@@8Rincewind Funny how an episode about controlling the attention of the mind was able to keep your attention so wrapped that it was able to not allow your attention to shift to a trigger. Your "The Fix" was doing a good job that day.
wow the design for M. Bition is actually sick, 1:03:50 his devil tail also being a stock market graph going upwards, AND a tie with the little tie clip, while still looking like a devil tail. whoever drew that, good job
Can I say how happy I am to see Hank Green on here? He is without a doubt one of my favorite RUclipsrs (alongside his brother) so this is right up my alley.
This has got to be one of my favourite seasons so far. I love the puns, the overall theme, and all of the characters! I think that this has potential for a full 20 episode series! Sadly, it's only 6 episodes, but 6 great ones I bet! ❤
@@YawnBlueI sorta wonder if it got too difficult for Hank Green considering everything. ik my brother was exhausted by chemo n had to stop working, he couldn’t even walk his dog for a while.
The confused terror that Hank is able to instil using only intense eye contact and snake dicks is absolute *chef's kiss* and I feel genuinely terrified of the Fix, every hat off to you sir. Holy cow.
This is so friggin' good. The premise, the cast, the characters, the NPCs, the interactions, the set, the sound design... and what a genius Brennan is. I'm seriously gonna have to consider a subscription to Dropout for this.
Hol'up.... Are the moxie points marbles? IS THE BIG GUY LITERALLY LOSING HIS MARBLES?! 😂 I can't. These guys are freaking geniuses. The endless brain puns are killing me, the fact it's done film noir style, the fact it's set around the great depression which, I mean... Depression is stored in the brain. The miniatures are so cool. This is brilliant. This is hilarious. It has marble runs and flashy lights. Ya'll are so beautifully creative.
Darn, that was so good. Never boring , lots of great roleplay and improv yet no one falls into the voice actor trap. Shit, that's refreshing. Hank, mein Gott, you rock.
...but you're never gonna do that!" Hank Green said that as a fact. Not as a request, an order or a command, but as a fucking fact. He said it as if it was true, because he made it true. I swear if he went into security work literally no one would ever argue with him.
Okay, really cute detail. The sound effect they use when switching to The Daily Observer, is the opening of the Don't Laugh News Network... Also this gang is insane and I love them all
I absolutely love a well done punching bag character in comedy, but they're very hard to pull off. Alex absolutely nails that character immediately and I can't wait to see where the rest of this season goes!
Hank Green plays his character extremely well, I honestly paid $5 for a dropout subscription just so i could see all the episodes, and let me tell you. He's absolutely phenomenal, he has some of the most thought provoking monologues as well as wholesome & terrifying moments. Ive known him from SciShow for years now but this was an absolute performance on his end. My favorite character so far besides Conrad and Curio.
Ngl, not even sure why, but my hype and expectations for this season we’re middling going into it. But this first episode was genuinely so much goddamn fun to watch I think it might be one of my favorites already lmao! The characters, the setting, the player’s energy, and the set are all so good! I’m looking forward to every episode.
I get the feeling all of them will get a part of an iconic Film Noir story arc to themselves The Fix - The last score before he retired (and adopted his card daughter, lizard son, Conrad and Justin) Conrad - The littlest urchin comes to Great Expectations ala Annie or Pip Imelda - I never dids what I said I dids but I dids do it - Classic Femme Fatale fare A Tension - the big story almost killed me/ the odd couple (if Danielle and Trapp don't utilise that tension even into a better friendship I'll be so sad) Hunch - The Dick Tracy finally gets big Dan - Redemption arc/ Double down
This season has unquestionably become a standout favorite of mine. The clever wordplay, the overarching motif, and the entire ensemble of characters have all combined to make it an absolute delight.
Everything about this was perfect! What a great first episode. The lighting, the background graphics, the music! Tropes, tropes, tropes! The players are all so funny and good. I'm so excited for this season! Not to mention Hank gazing at Brennan with hearts in his eyes 😍 every time Brennan does something brilliant, which is a lot. Same, Hank!
I love love love seating Hank Green right next to Freddy Wong. I never thought I would see the two of them in the same room, but to see them on the same show is an absolute delight
![Queens on a Quest | Dimension 20: Dungeons and Drag Queens [Full Episode]](/img/1.gif)
They're in the Great Depression. Brennan is a genius
Oh snap! 😂
And how did I not put 2 and 2 together? No I put 0 and 2 together to get 1. Darn it.

I love his Jimmy Stewart vibes

@@greyimpala2116 there is no dnd style combat in this season though. So the table will always look like this
Apparently Hank was incredibly nervous but he does such a great job (as does everyone)

I can confirm in the second episode he continues to be a great addition to the cast.
He was the same during Wil Weaton's campaign for Geek & Sundry but he was great there too!
The players all seems like supportive people. Wanting each other to to do well. May only be on camera, but I don’t this so.

"It's not sexual. but it's not, not sexual." Love it
Hunch and A. Tension I ship it. Conrad needs to find a way to get a set of those keys
36:12 I noticed while rewatching a little hint that Anastasia is part of the Pulse family. Freddy Focus says, "the people whose name you are so graciously not using," clearly referring to her family connections.
My favorite part about Brennan’s DM style is that he almost never says anything that isn’t going to end up being important.
You know this whole concept feels like a Pixar movie, like Osmosis Jones or Inside Out but based on the brain and I don’t know why but I like it
Inside Jones?
@@Hylebos75 or you could say.. Jones Inside?
One of my favourite first episodes ever. Everyone's characters are beautifully realised and they already working together as a team (for jokes mostly at the moment).
Also love seeing Brennan have so much fun. My several of my special interests smashed together leading to my fave season? Big Hank Green yes
i love the character development of the dome, from being just red blue and green lights, to being screens that show the environment
As someone who struggles with Misophonia, I feel so valid seeing the trigger warnings in the description of this video. It’s the first time I’ve seen my disorder mentioned anywhere outside of my doctor’s office, and it makes me feel like other people know it’s not all in my head. Thanks for making my day a little better D20 team :)
I feel you. I struggle with wet mouth noises and nose sounds but I never see misophonia addressed as a warning. The sounds in this episode didn't really trigger me because they were quite short, but it's still nice to have a heads up.
That's awesome :) . Can I ask, did any part of the episode trigger your Misophonia? I already watched the episode when it was released on Dropout and don't remember any unusual sounds. Though maybe I've forgotten and maybe I'll notice on this rewatch.
@@8Rincewind not in this one in particular. I too watched it first on dropout and didn't really notice. There were moments in other episodes that triggered me though. I love Brennan, but I just can't stand eating and talking 😬.
@@8Rincewind Funny how an episode about controlling the attention of the mind was able to keep your attention so wrapped that it was able to not allow your attention to shift to a trigger. Your "The Fix" was doing a good job that day.
There were a lot of trigger warnings for misophonia during Never After.
“I don’t see a body, I hope you didn’t eat him.”
“It depends on what you mean-He’s gone and i enjoyed it”
absolute chills
Hank Green just casually lowering the ambient room temperature 10 degrees every time he opens his mouth.
wow the design for M. Bition is actually sick, 1:03:50 his devil tail also being a stock market graph going upwards, AND a tie with the little tie clip, while still looking like a devil tail. whoever drew that, good job
As a former neuroscience major i eagerly await the punnery of this season
As a current neuroscience major I am pumped for this season!
I was hoping to hear what Noril's sisters name was. Any suggestions?
@@xerothedarkstarMaybe just Nora?
@@xerothedarkstarpathological HAS to be one
Can I say how happy I am to see Hank Green on here? He is without a doubt one of my favorite RUclipsrs (alongside his brother) so this is right up my alley.
Sheesh, THREE Nat 1s in a row? Did Murph give Danielle those dice?
My thought exactly lololol
Nah, Will Weaton. 😈😂
This has got to be one of my favourite seasons so far. I love the puns, the overall theme, and all of the characters! I think that this has potential for a full 20 episode series! Sadly, it's only 6 episodes, but 6 great ones I bet! ❤
You made me so sad. I thought it was gonna be 10 episodes for some reason.
Why are their best ones so short!?
Misfits and Magic was, what, 4 episodes?
@@AHDBification maybe they don't have a lot to say?
@@human_collector0 I would imagine scheduling was probably a big part of things. They're all busy people after all.
@@YawnBlueI sorta wonder if it got too difficult for Hank Green considering everything. ik my brother was exhausted by chemo n had to stop working, he couldn’t even walk his dog for a while.
Alex Song-Xia is on a whole other level with this character
1:40:51 every Conrad line in this scene is GOLDEN, my favourite TTRPG character in a WHILE
I’m here because I heard Freddy Wong say on Dungeons and Daddies that his character was Dan Fucks. All I needed to hear.
The Fix and Madam Loathing's whole scene was so powerful, holy cow. I got chills.
Dying over Hank’s little sunshine smile after being told his speech was terrifying
Honestly, Hank choosing to get caught was a super smart move, in terms of realism😮
Adding Hank Green to the cast almost made me cry from excitement. I love this!
Hank is so menacing that he gave chills down my spine.
The confused terror that Hank is able to instil using only intense eye contact and snake dicks is absolute *chef's kiss* and I feel genuinely terrified of the Fix, every hat off to you sir. Holy cow.
This is so friggin' good. The premise, the cast, the characters, the NPCs, the interactions, the set, the sound design... and what a genius Brennan is. I'm seriously gonna have to consider a subscription to Dropout for this.
Bro just do it it’s so f***ing worth it
Hol'up.... Are the moxie points marbles? IS THE BIG GUY LITERALLY LOSING HIS MARBLES?! 😂 I can't. These guys are freaking geniuses. The endless brain puns are killing me, the fact it's done film noir style, the fact it's set around the great depression which, I mean... Depression is stored in the brain. The miniatures are so cool. This is brilliant. This is hilarious. It has marble runs and flashy lights. Ya'll are so beautifully creative.
If you aren’t watching with the closed captioning on, turn it on and watch 54:20 it’s incredible!
Hank absolutely killed it, holy crap. I love The Fix
the graphic design of the character files is so so gorgeous
Darn, that was so good. Never boring , lots of great roleplay and improv yet no one falls into the voice actor trap. Shit, that's refreshing. Hank, mein Gott, you rock.
What's the voice actor trap?
@@Crvknightthat's Mike over there playing the gumshoe. He's more of a writer than a voice actor though 🤡
Hank Green explained the premise of this show and thus i am here! No regrets!
33:00 love that my brain immediately registered this as the Breaking News intro lmao
GOD FUCKING DAMIT SAME I HAD A NEWS REPORTER ASSIGNMENT LAST MONTH AND IT'S THE EXACT SAME SHIT I USED FOR MY BGM HAHAHAHAHAHA
...but you're never gonna do that!"
Hank Green said that as a fact. Not as a request, an order or a command, but as a fucking fact. He said it as if it was true, because he made it true.
I swear if he went into security work literally no one would ever argue with him.
Okay, really cute detail. The sound effect they use when switching to The Daily Observer, is the opening of the Don't Laugh News Network...
Also this gang is insane and I love them all
Absolutely love that Dan Fucks has the verbal cadence of any Matt Berry character
YESSSS I was looking for a comment like this! What a great choice
I absolutely love a well done punching bag character in comedy, but they're very hard to pull off. Alex absolutely nails that character immediately and I can't wait to see where the rest of this season goes!
All i could think of during this episode is "what if there was a guy called Adrien Lynn" and that's how you know the pun world building is good
Immediately the most I’ve ever appreciated Trapp. Brainstorm. Of COURSE.
I haven't seen the series, but I'm calling it now: Mr. Lance's full name is gonna be Virgil Lance.
Hank Green plays his character extremely well, I honestly paid $5 for a dropout subscription just so i could see all the episodes, and let me tell you. He's absolutely phenomenal, he has some of the most thought provoking monologues as well as wholesome & terrifying moments.
Ive known him from SciShow for years now but this was an absolute performance on his end. My favorite character so far besides Conrad and Curio.
As someone named Elias, I think this series will be funky to watch (in a fantastic way)
Ngl, not even sure why, but my hype and expectations for this season we’re middling going into it. But this first episode was genuinely so much goddamn fun to watch I think it might be one of my favorites already lmao! The characters, the setting, the player’s energy, and the set are all so good! I’m looking forward to every episode.
The big guy is having a burnout - depression - nervous breakdown wombo combo!
I like how the fix has the most distracting facts. Like how do they keep in character after that!
Dimension 20 always comes out of the gate super strong but this a particularly great first episode!
YESSS im so glad this episode is on youtube. Can't wait to convince all my friends to watch this
"If there's one thing I love, it's questions....
If there's two things I love, it's money. If there's three things I love, it's coffee"
🤣
Why is Mike Trapp so good at being incredibly funny? I think this guy might be doing comedy or somethin' for a living.
I feel like Trapp is supposed to be a main character, but Hank is the real main character, channeling Nicholas Cage in his speech.
I get the feeling all of them will get a part of an iconic Film Noir story arc to themselves
The Fix - The last score before he retired (and adopted his card daughter, lizard son, Conrad and Justin)
Conrad - The littlest urchin comes to Great Expectations ala Annie or Pip
Imelda - I never dids what I said I dids but I dids do it - Classic Femme Fatale fare
A Tension - the big story almost killed me/ the odd couple (if Danielle and Trapp don't utilise that tension even into a better friendship I'll be so sad)
Hunch - The Dick Tracy finally gets big
Dan - Redemption arc/ Double down
I got more of a Chris Walken sort of menace.
@@Firegen1 It's crazy how you more or less predicted everyone's story. Well played.
This season has unquestionably become a standout favorite of mine. The clever wordplay, the overarching motif, and the entire ensemble of characters have all combined to make it an absolute delight.
I love the Stacy Fakename bit😂
@1:34:23 hank trying desperately not to say yes he knows that fact. good on him for slipping back into the character
Everything about this was perfect! What a great first episode. The lighting, the background graphics, the music! Tropes, tropes, tropes! The players are all so funny and good. I'm so excited for this season!
Not to mention Hank gazing at Brennan with hearts in his eyes 😍 every time Brennan does something brilliant, which is a lot. Same, Hank!
I love love love seating Hank Green right next to Freddy Wong. I never thought I would see the two of them in the same room, but to see them on the same show is an absolute delight
Really interesting. Seems like the primary conflict is going to be conscience vs ambition, which absolutely makes sense.
Stacy Fakename will be the new standard of the disguise kits.
I love Siobhan's fake name. My "obviously not my real name" name is Steve McRealname, so I love to see something in a very similar vein.
I never realized that the Osmosis Jones of the mind Campaign was something I so deeply needed. LOVE IT.
Took me hours to realise - "Conrad Shintz".
*"Con Shintz".*
OOOOOOOOOOHH!!!!!
The captions are stellar as usual, and I really appreciate the timestamped content warnings!
Brennan is a force of positivity and good in this world that I just can't fathom existing in human form. I hope he is staying well!
