Lou’s completely sincere and traumatized “WHAT THE FUCK? W H A T T H E F U C K? WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING? WHAT DID Y- WH- WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?” is my favorite line of all Dimension 20.
The fact Aguefort, a powerful mage with access to chronomancy, takes out a gun and commits a murder suicide instead of _ANYTHING_ else has to be one the biggest plot twists in DnD history.
@@LetsPlayCrazy he ends up sneaking into heaven, knocking out god, and taking his place. That eventually leads to Kristin Applebees to getting his chronomancy watch and defeating the bbeg
The funny thing about this scene is later on, during one of their Adventuring Parties, Brennan admitted he pulled it out of his ass at the last second because he didn't expect the party to have gotten so careless as to get themselves killed in the first combat encounter. I like that for future seasons, they started with backup characters already in place. A lot of Crown of Candy's seemingly superfluous lore was setup for other players' backup characters.
@@3ndlessL00p not sure, I haven't seen one where they talked about it. It's ironic how well-prepared they were for character death in CoC but only lost two. They all got really good at managing unconscious characters after a while, to the point that even in UC2, where the Intrepid Heroes are all primary casters, they hold off their healing spells as a last resort to stabilize mortally wounded party members. I think that season suffered only one death, and it was only temporary.
No, they didn't create backup characters in later seasons or campaign. The only campaign that they had backup was Crown of Candy because there's no major heal and revivify.
Brennan recently described Arthur Augefort's principal emotion at all times is whatever the most outward and aggressive form of that emotion is, turned up to 11. I think he called it "expanse" or something like that, but just the idea that Augefort's enthusiasm for absolutely everything cannot be contained by his mind, body, or even soul. This was probably the first and best example of that.
A youtube clip of this moment is what got me into D20. I've known of CollegeHumor for like a friggin decade and thought all they did was sketch comedy, which is definitely not my bag; there was no way I would have checked them out again on my own. SO glad they've brought their humor into some storytelling!
Lawfully aligned people in stressful situations will break laws if they can justify it to themselves. See: “do as I say, not as I do” and the children who grow up to say what their parents say but also do what they did.
Well it clearly showed he was at least HIGHLY AWARE of the law and had a respect for it's authority. Or I mean, I really great understanding of it's authority and what it does to people who look like criminals. And he needed to 'make it easier for the law to focus on stopping the real criminals' lol
It is really impressive how Brennan took two problems, two dead players and an NPC who knows too much to make a good story, and solved them with each other.
To be fair, it's subtle, but Brennan originaly planned to have Arthur be poisoned and die sometime later. A twist they were supposed to find out before fighting Johnny Spells but was (thankfully) replaced with this.
@@slenderslayer8203 and it’s really funny when you think about all the hints… and they just didn’t end up paying off. But also, there’s a pattern of the party not listening to the important stuff Aguefort says, like in the same speech where he said his tea tastes bad he also said chronomancy is the strongest magic and they just forgot about it
@@brianmorton9419 Let's be honest, if your DM had a wizard talking about how the greatest magic was chronomancy, you'd assume that Wizard was just bigging up their own school of magic, no matter if it was evocation, abjuration, illusion, etc
@@InterrogatingTheCat but also chronomancy is time magic so it's objectively the strongest. And if you're assuming they're gassing up their school of magic that means that you still know they have time magic. That's not exactly something most people would ignore I'd think.
Adaine, smeared with blood, curled up into a ball and just rocking back and forth with an expression that screams "Every second now is another year I will have to spend in therapy to address the trauma that I am experiencing right now" is just pure perfection
This was the moment that hooked me to Dimension 20 and just absolutely enjoying the collective imaginary improv that is DND. Had me experience the full gamute of emotions in a few minute bit
This has been a rough day. But hearing one of my favorite animators is interested in covering my favorite DnD podcast, that makes it a hell of a lot better. The chaos will be glorious.
This was the moment that everybody went from messing and joking around to taking things a little bit more seriously. It was also the moment sucked me into this series!
I love how grandiose and ethereal Aguefort acts when he's pulling out the phoenix egg and describing it, when in reality, he's an old deranged man taking out the used tampon of his partner to revive some kids
Because we know Brennan made it up on the spot after Kristen died by slipping on a banana peel (andhewasgoingtoletGorgugdie), I like to think that in universe, Aguefort heard Riz say that two kids are dead, and he stopped time, panicked for however long he needed to, remembered the egg which he could have kept for any reason however inane, and that he can use it to sort of exchange life in a complicated resurrection spell with a high cost. He then sat down, chose Mr. Gibbons to kill, and began to plan how to get out of the Celestial plane once dead. I bet he didn't even totally have the rest of that plan. EDIT: He didn't use any normal Resurrection spells that only cost expensive things and spell slots because he'd already spent them on his own shenanigans that day. And I guess True Resurrection doesn't exist here; I prefer that, that spell kills narrative tension.
@@queencleopatra007 and others like him. Also literally just intend to write a villain like that and you’ve made an amazing one. It’s that the narrative thinks a guy who made an army of child soldiers is a good person No, Joanne 😂
Between the material costs per resurrection spell, plus the sheer amount of paperwork this entire thing warranted...personally, I see where he's coming from. Lot simpler.
@@DarkeAOU Arthur Aguefort is infinitely wealthy and is powerful enough to end a federal investigation just by telling it to go away. He can spring for a couple Raise Deads.
crying at riz mopping up mr. gibbons with gloves on, he learned from his mom that you gotta take proper sanitary measures when covering up a crime scene!
It's 2 years on, but Fantasy High: Sophomore Year is available on RUclips now and it has an Aguefort scene that's so insane it makes this one look like a perfectly normal encounter. Just a level 20 unhinged principal with experimental god-magic not giving a single fuck
This was the moment that really hooked me into the series. I was kinda distracted at the time, and then. This. This absolutely unhinged old man. It's still my favorite moment in the show just for the sheer shock value
This was the moment that gave us the entirety of Dimension 20 remember, this is the moment history changed, and the timeline diverged... this show is amazing.
I love how they get 2 PC deaths in the FIRST encounter and brennan has to improv this beautiful shit out of his ass and then it turns into a beautiful, narritively satisfying arc for the whole show
Hear me out here: Escape from the Bloodkeep fully animated series as a test run for the longer, lore-heavy campaigns and see if the response is worth the investment. Look, I just want to see Leiland and Hamhead do their Tom and Jerry shenanigans okay
Escape is so good, I would love to watch the fight in the scary volcano animated. Although an animated Je'ri'mih would be a bit disturbing, especially the birth scene
I remember like it was yesterday, I had just discovered D20 and decided to give it a listen. But I was listening while playing video games, and I got focused on the game so I didn't really listen to Aguefort's speech. I snapped back to it when I heard Brennan so calmly say, "He shoots Mr. Gibbons in the head." My heart jumped, my mind shattered, my balls dropped, my game crashed, and my gallbladder dematerialized as I was consumed by raw emotion. My eyes glistened with a layer of tears as I asked myself, "Why? Why did this man just kill Mr. Gibbons? Why have I never heard of this show before? Oh god why did he just kill himself too? What is happening? Who is this psychotic DM? What am I going to do with my life in a week when I finish binging every campaign they've done? Who am I?" It was a deeply spiritual experience, accompanied by a chorus of angels screaming in confusion. Or maybe that was just the players, I don't know.
I was at work listening to it while I made sandwiches I swear I broke down for like 30 whole seconds trying to process what I had just heard lol. Pretty sure my coworkers thought I was crazy
I also love how they captured Gorklug's caring character. he died, woke up in a hellish landscape, sees his guidance counsellor turn into something demonic then wake to a scene of absolute chaos. and the first thing he does is try console Fabian, the guy who beat him up.
This is one of my favorite scenes in all the seasons of Dimension 20. As a DM it's always an amazing moment to see how players react when things go from corn cuties to corn consequences.
I think my favourite thing about rewatching Episode 2 is how much DM Murph comes out. Immediately identified the corn blob as priority #1, and then how he's calm here whilst everyone else freaks out. "We gotta go guys!" is just iconic
@@lavenderwalrus9875 NADDPOD actually predates D20 by about 6 months. First episode of it aired in February 2018, whilst Fantasy Hogh didn't begin until September
I kinda just want a supercut of animations of Gorgug asking different people if they're his dad. Two minutes in it's just lunchladies, parking meters, the ducks he's feeding in the park...
This was masterfully done, there was great comedic moments such as Riz getting blood on his face, Arthur pulling a Sig from his jacket, and there will never be a more accurate, way to show what real D&D is like then Lou/Fabin loosing his shit and that spurred everyone to freak the fuck out.
1:21 dude that eyelid animation is so good. How did you capture the actual spirit of the wisdom that some DM just said in the spur of the moment, and made the character's expression match EXACTLY?! that's the real magic here.
Same here. Caught the McElroys' Dadlands oneshot, decided I'd look up the dope guest DM they had, got to this point and immediately bought a subscription.
I really love how much the D20 crew cares about mental health and safety ❤️ As someone who struggles with moderate to major depression it makes me really happy to see the effort you put into having trigger warning in you videos.
Wizard etiquette 101: If a wizard is about to pull your bum off the burner the least you can do is let them monologue first. It is the one perk of the job!
Look. I don’t really have context for this. I just like watching the animations for dimension 20. But let me just say, Brendon is one of exactly 2 dms who I believe can say “[character] is covered in blood, [character2] is covered in corn…” in a serious tone and Griffin McElroy is the other. In other news, this took a hard left turn that I did NOT see coming, especially not after the corn
I like how the only magic he visibly showed there was the egg, otherwise it was concealed in the gun, and then Arthur pulls probably one of my favorite one liners before death.
This is awesome. It was around a year ago that one of my former players (and then later DM) told me to watch Fantasy High. Fell absolutely in love. Brennan Lee Mulligan is a damn treasure, and everyone else in the cast is just absolutely awesome. A lot of my gaming group are scattered across the globe now, and we sometimes gather and watch episodes together remotely. Great times.
This showed up in my recommendations when it came out and after I watched it I immediately purchased a Dropout subscription and have almost binged the entirety of the series. You guys are gold
Brennan is the fucking GOAT. I'm by no means anywhere near his level, but as an almost first time DM, I can't imagine pulling this perfection out of nowhere after two PCs dying in the first session.
This was so expertly done. Fabien's reaction the split second before Augefort shoots himself, Fig's eyes moving down to follow where the body would be falling, amazing attention to detail!
I really want the next Dimension 20 animated to be either when Gorgug thinks he's his own dad, or when he tackles the fire elemental from the second story onto a table.
Genius animation this is exactly how I imagined this, especially Riz running out then turning back again, and Adaine just rocking back and forth poor kid... Also the fire animation was awesome
I was introduced to D20 from the original clip on Tiktok of the actual table reaction. Having zero context into the episode I've never laughed so hard in my life. Lou and Murph's reaction are the icing on the cake.
This clip is so well animated! I've seen other "animated" clips where they're just 1 frame per second sketches or have no scenery detail - I love all the detail and time spent to this clip! Amazing.
Fantasy High Freshman Year was what got me hooked into Dimension 20, specifically this episode. The Unsleeping City Season 1 ultimately changed how I play D&D, it also encouraged me to DM and got me thinking about making Homebrew contents. The Seven was what ultimately made me subscribe to Dropout
I love that Riz, the 15 year old son of a police detective and amateur investigator with a bit of a hero complex and a deep desire for justice, _immediately_ attempts to destroy evidence and tamper with the crime scene LMAO He's so thrown off and distraught by everything that's happened in the last, like, 20ish minutes that his morals and sense of justice and the law are just thrown out the window and only self-preservation is left lmao
I love the trigger warning has Jawbone hold that sign. Such an adorable touch, but such a respectful addition to validate that, yes, if any of those topics upset you, caution in watching this -or choosing not to watch it are legitimate and important decisions.
When they came out with the first one of these. I literally thought (they couldn't possibly do "the price must be paid" on RUclips.) Now I'm here. Loving this scene more then ever before now that it's animated.
This is a great scene to choose to be animated. Pretty much what truly got me hooked into DnD. I would also love to see the scene where everyone's working together to bring the golem down in the Half-pipe fight.
I as of recent got into D&D and asked my friends what I should watch in order to get myself accustomed to the game and have a great time. They said "Oh check out Fantasy High, but beware episode 2." I had no clue what the fuck they were talking about. When I finally reached the end of episode 2, I was floored. Brennan Lee Mulligan doesn't fuck around. This singular moment cemented my love for D&D and Dimension 20. It's so fucked and comes out of nowhere.
The fact that this _epic_ plot twist and death of important NPCs was completely improvised because Brennan did not foresee TWO player characters dying so soon, like literally in Episode 2... _chef's kiss_ just spectacular.
I remember going into Fantasy High thinking "this is just going to only be like SLIGHTLY better harry potter I know it" and then this happened. And all I could hear was that one Brendan quote of him saying "do you think I fuck around?"

The craziest part is that he was eventually found out to be right lol
And he took that gun to heaven, probably pistol whipped Sol with it
Hey yeah wait a minute-
Though realistically I assume it’s cause this was unexpected. So he had to improv fast
@@thehauntedtree since I never watched them... could you give a quick summary why he was right?
@@LetsPlayCrazy he ends up sneaking into heaven, knocking out god, and taking his place. That eventually leads to Kristin Applebees to getting his chronomancy watch and defeating the bbeg

This is perfection - Riz is so feral here and I’m in for it
Getting the scenes with Baron from the Baronies and Riz animated would haunt me forever, but I'd still love every second of it
Feral? Riz was the only one with entirely appropriate reactions.
Riz, after witnessing his fellow classmates die, and then the principal commit s murder suicide, just “calmly” starts cleaning up the mess
E
I’m just now realizing that Riz, the most “lawful” party member, was the first to try and destroy evidence and flee the scene of a murder-suicide 😂🤣
lawful doesn't mean you follow the law, it can be any code. whether it is the laws of the land, the laws of your patron, or a strict personal code
Gorgug is the most lawful followed by Adaine then Kristin, THEN RIZ, then Fabian and Fig
Lawfully aligned people in stressful situations will break laws if they can justify it to themselves.

I love that the biggest wtf moment in f20 history is finally animated and it’s exactly how I pictured the scene
I love that, despite guns canonically being in the Arquebus stage of technology, everyone agrees that Aguefort has a Glock.
CHRONOMANCY!
I first time I saw this episode, my jaw dropped and said "WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!" I was very much like Lou 🤣🤣🤣
The lighting effects on Arthur's suit must have taken a minute, but I respect a dedicated animator when I see one!
I really love how much the D20 crew cares about mental health and safety ❤️ As someone who struggles with moderate to major depression it makes me really happy to see the effort you put into having trigger warning in you videos.
Wizard etiquette 101: If a wizard is about to pull your bum off the burner the least you can do is let them monologue first. It is the one perk of the job!
Harry should animate that one moment where Lou/Fabian got that one epic Box of Doom roll
thank you so much for having me on! what an honor to handle this moment!
Got this notification and knew it was everything I could’ve ever hoped for 💜
Fabians breakdown after everything goes down is my favourite part of this whole scene and is perfectly displayed here. 2:10
Look. I don’t really have context for this. I just like watching the animations for dimension 20. But let me just say, Brendon is one of exactly 2 dms who I believe can say “[character] is covered in blood, [character2] is covered in corn…” in a serious tone and Griffin McElroy is the other.
In other news, this took a hard left turn that I did NOT see coming, especially not after the corn
***SPOILERS***
Someone needs to animate Aguefort grabbing the sun!
Easily one of the best moments in Fantasy High. It figuratively blew my mind even more than Aguefort did Mister Gibbons' and his own XD
I like how the only magic he visibly showed there was the egg, otherwise it was concealed in the gun, and then Arthur pulls probably one of my favorite one liners before death.
Murph's cadence as Riz complaining about aguefort's monologues is soooo good
Harry Clabon you are a glorious individual and I appreciate this wonderful experience you have given us all
This is awesome. It was around a year ago that one of my former players (and then later DM) told me to watch Fantasy High.
Fell absolutely in love. Brennan Lee Mulligan is a damn treasure, and everyone else in the cast is just absolutely awesome.
A lot of my gaming group are scattered across the globe now, and we sometimes gather and watch episodes together remotely. Great times.
This showed up in my recommendations when it came out and after I watched it I immediately purchased a Dropout subscription and have almost binged the entirety of the series. You guys are gold
Brennan is the fucking GOAT. I'm by no means anywhere near his level, but as an almost first time DM, I can't imagine pulling this perfection out of nowhere after two PCs dying in the first session.
This was so expertly done. Fabien's reaction the split second before Augefort shoots himself, Fig's eyes moving down to follow where the body would be falling, amazing attention to detail!
The most wtf start to a campaign. I remember my jaw dropping when I heard this play out for the first time.
I really want the next Dimension 20 animated to be either when Gorgug thinks he's his own dad, or when he tackles the fire elemental from the second story onto a table.
Genius animation this is exactly how I imagined this, especially Riz running out then turning back again, and Adaine just rocking back and forth poor kid... Also the fire animation was awesome
I love in the animation how Fabian and Fig react to realising that Aguefort is gonna pull the trigger on himself a split second before he does it.
I was introduced to D20 from the original clip on Tiktok of the actual table reaction. Having zero context into the episode I've never laughed so hard in my life. Lou and Murph's reaction are the icing on the cake.
Riz's expressions are everything 😂
Riz is so cute in this animation!
This is even better than what I imagined. Thank you so much Harry Clabon!
It's always a treat to see ANY dimension 20 content animated.
Ah yes, the scene that set the tone for all seasons of Dimension 20
That plot twist when i was watching the series really got me good, Its still amazing watching it animated!!!
This clip is so well animated! I've seen other "animated" clips where they're just 1 frame per second sketches or have no scenery detail - I love all the detail and time spent to this clip! Amazing.
The moment we see Arthur Augefort was batshit insane, but the precursor of the question of ‘how much?’.
I showed Dimension 20 to the rest of my group and when this happened they were just stunned. Good times.
Fantasy High Freshman Year was what got me hooked into Dimension 20, specifically this episode.
The Unsleeping City Season 1 ultimately changed how I play D&D, it also encouraged me to DM and got me thinking about making Homebrew contents.
The Seven was what ultimately made me subscribe to Dropout
he just carries that phoenix egg on him at all times. an extremely valuable object that's just in his coat the entire time
Well he did fuck the Phoenix that laid it.
I was literally relistening to this episode today and thinking how an animatic of this scene would be great! Thank you this is amazing!!!
This is the moment where they hooked me and most of us into Dimension 20. We got Episode 2'd.
I love that Riz, the 15 year old son of a police detective and amateur investigator with a bit of a hero complex and a deep desire for justice, _immediately_ attempts to destroy evidence and tamper with the crime scene LMAO
He's so thrown off and distraught by everything that's happened in the last, like, 20ish minutes that his morals and sense of justice and the law are just thrown out the window and only self-preservation is left lmao
i renewed my dropout subscription 40 minutes ago to watch this animation (also to watch more content lol)
Great news, we have a LOT more coming very soon...
I want Jawbone to give me all the trigger warnings I'll ever need.
I love the trigger warning has Jawbone hold that sign. Such an adorable touch, but such a respectful addition to validate that, yes, if any of those topics upset you, caution in watching this -or choosing not to watch it are legitimate and important decisions.
When they came out with the first one of these. I literally thought (they couldn't possibly do "the price must be paid" on RUclips.) Now I'm here. Loving this scene more then ever before now that it's animated.
2:06 Riz taking the words right out of my mouth
This is a great scene to choose to be animated. Pretty much what truly got me hooked into DnD. I would also love to see the scene where everyone's working together to bring the golem down in the Half-pipe fight.
Been waiting for this scene!!!
I remember seeing that part of the campaign, and this short is exactly how I thought it would play out lol
I as of recent got into D&D and asked my friends what I should watch in order to get myself accustomed to the game and have a great time. They said "Oh check out Fantasy High, but beware episode 2." I had no clue what the fuck they were talking about. When I finally reached the end of episode 2, I was floored. Brennan Lee Mulligan doesn't fuck around. This singular moment cemented my love for D&D and Dimension 20. It's so fucked and comes out of nowhere.
That's what makes the scene so shockingly funny
i gotta give props to you, this wouldn't nearly be as funny without the animation. good job.
I ADORE how Riz is animated here. Also, just everyone has so much personality how they're animated!
if the chaotic chaotic alignment existed, aguefort would be right there in that category
This moment will always be one of the HARDEST in the series EVER, and Fabian's reaction could not be any more accurate.
Imma just rewatch it all, this is the best campaign ive ever had the pleasure of watching
The fact that this _epic_ plot twist and death of important NPCs was completely improvised because Brennan did not foresee TWO player characters dying so soon, like literally in Episode 2... _chef's kiss_ just spectacular.
Yoo, this is pretty good. This scene definitely deserved an animatic. Huge props to Harry here.
I remember going into Fantasy High thinking "this is just going to only be like SLIGHTLY better harry potter I know it" and then this happened. And all I could hear was that one Brendan quote of him saying "do you think I fuck around?"
