The fact Kristen's little brother said, "You gonna fight a dragon?" in the first episode and they do indeed end up fighting and killing (as well as... devouring...) a dragon in the final episode supplies me with *so* much serotonin.
Gorgug failing every insight on every single NPC in the campaign up until he rolls a NAT 20 on his actual dad at the very end is pure fucking unscripted magic. The dice always have a plan, the dice know all for better or for worse.
@@zabithaluth3527nah he rolled a nat 20 on the police guy and he just got dunked on. “you look so familiar….. you’re that freak kid gorgug right?” absolutely hilarious
Having all of the party’s parents getting together is infinitely funnier than any of the main characters dating. They’re all like, one step away from being step siblings at this point, it’s hilarious

Yes srsly how tf did no one bother with that He literally said in his speech that Chronomancy (the manipulation of the fabric of time itself) is (was and will be) the most powerful magic of all Srsly this was so chaotic and it made for such fun characters
@@SirQuack-mi9szHonestly, I don't blame them that much. That line from Aguefort seemed like a throwaway bit of flavor text in the moment, there no way I would've remembered or written a note about it.
I love that Fabian immediately shoots down the idea of his mom dating Galear but is willing to spend his entire summer at war with elves in order to date his friend's sister
I think it’s less an issue of social taboo and more that his mother is coming out of the funeral for his father, the most dangerous and competent seaman that ever lived, and is immediately hitting on a man with the same energy as a wet rag covered in yogurt 😂
Bill Seacaster, Captain of a galleon made from the stretched carcass of a red dragon, manned by a crew of infernal zombie pirates, sailing across a sea of lava to plunder the treasures of Hell’s princes is the most metal shit I've ever heard in my entire life. Fucking awesome.
I think Ally thought they'd proc Spirit Guardians on every legendary action, seeint as they did ask on the next three. If that was the intention, it's not the worst idea in the world
Yeah in the only campaign I've played yet one of my friends stopped playing so for remaining time of summer camp I had the time of my life as Lady Gelato The neutral good cleric. Also she was very OP
I love how Murphy getting bad rolls ties into Riz’s plot of having to deal with how nasty the world can be, but despite the bad rolls he gets the final blow on the dragon. It really fit his character.
So with this!!!! Either that or all the police were from mumple or some of the other minor schools, and anyone that would be competent as a police officer in Elmville that went to Augefort just stayed being Adventurers instead of being cops.
it makes so much sense Kisten Applebees a teenage with raging teenage hormones' from a religious family that told her she would know about sex only when she was married. repression plus hormones meet a larger world, other questions come to the forefront.
She technically got that question across with “Why/Who?” first, so I mean, asking about sex as a followup tracks. misremembered, but it seems those did get that question across after that one.
I really didn't understand how that contributed to the story. She asked the wrong question. I would have stuck with bad things happening to good people, tbh.
I'm SO HAPPY that Riz was the one that got the killing blow. After an entire session of bad rolls, he more than deserves to get revenge for his father!
When Brennan was introducing gorgugs dad I thought for sure he was gonna say "I'm looking for my son, he's a half orc." Then a pause and " his name is Rog"
While that would have been funny I would have hated a loose end such as that. The fact that his dad was also asking people if they were his son is so much better.
13:28 For anyone else looking for it 😂 One of my favourite Lou moments, but there have been many! Daniel: I knew of that rule, but I think the reason it was so wild (I might be wrong) was because Ally was done rolling death saves and was stabilized, so there shouldn’t have been any rolling and it was just waiting. I think you’d need to get the Nat 20 before the first three successes are rolled. Either way super awesome!
I thought Brennan was going to treat the Nat 20 mechanically like a successful Divine Intervention role, since the probability is similar, but I like what happened instead.
You saying this makes me think. No PC character is dating a boy. That’s just something to note about this whole thing, and it’s interesting. Also I think Kristen and Tracker are together, in some way anyways. Maybe not completely together, but at least getting there.
@@All54321 Kristen and Fig both have gf's later on , Adaine and Riz are single , Fabian may or may not be with Adaine's sister and Gorgug is with Zelda, Rog was dating some elven dude too as far as I remember
Jeez the whole bringing it back around to the chronomancy speech from the first episode in what was basically a rant from a mad man was just perfect. My lord. Brennan is top tier
I KNEW that was going to come back around, I mean, why else would he say that.. I totally had it wrong on the how, I thought it would be a time traveling thing. I’m not finished with the episode so who knows lol
@@Droucko Part of me wonders if Brennan was going to introduce the heaven segment anyway as soon as the party wiped. It seems like an awful lot to come up with on the spot, especially plot related stuff.
The story of Bill marrying the woman who bested him and revealing how his eye was removed (which is a big part of his and Fabian's characters and arcs) is so cool and honestly romantic. I love how Brennan thought out into the details or either decided that on the spot, it's beautiful
As a longtime DM myself, watching Brennan take an unexpected Nat 20 and improvising a scene that tied up loose ends from session one, completed Kristen’s story arc and completely justified a long rest mid-final boss, this man is my hero. Also, how did you finally get tears from me with that Gorbag scene? So good.
He took about a minute to recalibrate after Ally's amazing roll and came up with one of the most satisfying narratives ever 😂 that's amazing writing right there
Brennan: "Hallariel says at the funeral, 'I don't think I'll ever see another man like Bill again.' She looks over, you see Gilear sa--" Lou: "NO, NO--"
Fabian telling his Mom to do something and not just be a thing in his house was Such a good role playing moment and it made the last bits about why Bill married her so much more impactful!
@@CryoXerxes Considering every wizard I've ever played acts the same way I can't argue with this. What good is almost limitless power if the person handling it acts responsibly.
@@frozenyogurth It's the only logical outcome if you would make this kind of academy in real life. A bunch of children being taught how to be adventurers? They will be murder hobos
I love that Aguefort is essentially the avatar for chaotic, rule-of-cool DMs. He's obviously lead this incredible, ridiculous life as an Adventurer and everything he does is just him running with whatever bonkers idea he can come up with, while also facilitating the same for his students. There's a whole story going on in the background of this campaign where he kills himself, sneaks into heaven, and kidnaps the sun and we have no idea what that's even about.
@Ethan Richter It’s an anti-capitalist statement about how the working class should overthrow and claim the property of the wealthy. Plus, they taste very rich.
@@ethanrichter3268 It was supposedly a quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The full quote is "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich".
if you see the dimension 20 live at the bell house (college humor put the video on youtube) Kristen and Tracker talk about Yes! and end up coming to the idea that Kristen loves questions and the exploration of more, so she changes it to "Yes?" instead of "Yes!" lol.
Brennan's speech from the source of divinity is absolutely stunning and nuianced and deep. "People are fractal images of the universe" and "bad things happen to good people because things happen all the time" are wonderful.
I love how Fig ended up with the most parents and stepparents 😂 She’s got her mon Sandra Lynn and her man Jawbone, her dad Gilear and Fabian’s mom, her biological dad Gortholax and Riz’s mom. She went from emo child of single parent to the most beloved child on the planet and I love that for her.
She also has the most siblings, with Jawbone being the guardian of the Abernant sisters, Tracker, and Kristen, Fabian through Gilear and Riz through Gorthalax. The only main character she isn't legally related to is Gorgug.
Riz is Figs brother through Gorthalax Fabian is her brother though Gillear Aiden was adopted by Jawbone, who ended up with Sandra-Lynn so she is her sister Kristen is dating Tracker who is Jawbones niece (secret daughter?) Gorgug is really the only one out of the loop, but he still has 2 pairs of loving parents and is one of her best friends
As soon as he said "the greatest magic of all is chronomancy" the first time I immediately was like "that has to be a chekhov's gun" and committed it to memory, I'm so glad it came back
there’s so many brennan sets up stories so well and pays them off even better. Adaine’s first scene ever started with her father telling her the elves oracle died. Kirsten’s little brother asked if she was going to fight a dragon. and so much more
@@angus591 well first I said I think not that I know, but it's brought up a few times, Bill Seacaster brings it up in the first episode that he will get old but his wife will not. she brings it up in episode 6 while talking to Adaine about the fact that she married a human. as to why she would drink to avoid it, well that fits the high school movie nature of the show can't have to many active and involved parents with out issues.
Me before time skip : Man jawbone has lived a super interesting life Me after time skip : Did he just take a casual 8 hour snooze inside a dragon mouth? Jawbone truly has lived a life worthy of a book.
Is it petty that I was really hoping to hear that Adaine's father lost his ambassadorship and was charged with treason for inciting a war under false pretenses?
I'm still not convinced they didn't fake that bit... I mean the party was pretty much finished and it was right at a time they would end a session. So it was pretty 'convenient' What happens if they lose a fight? Do you just "retry from checkpoint"?
This reminded me of a drawing I saw where Fig was exclaiming “step-sibs!” to Riz and Fabian. Riz was confused and Fabian was very against it. Thinking of that in context is interesting though...
“Reckless Shred” is such a fun way to give a unique ability to a Bard who spent like a year doing nothing but learning how to be a Barbarian lol. Killer series, onto Unsleeping City before season 2 lol
Imagine being this huge fucking dragon, about to like destroy the world, then witnessing through like very fast forward, six teenagers eat sandwiches, have a jam out, dance in front of you, then position themselves on your head-
Not to mention that these kids then proceed to kill him and when he gets to hell he get absolutely bodied by, the one and only, Bill Seacaster and his crew of infernal pirates and turned into a living breathing ship.
Brennan took a lot of philosophy as he said. These are the things you learn in philosophy class and that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you find meaning profound then I highly recommend trying it! :D
I’d love to have another episode with a breakdown of what was and wasn’t supposed to happen. Like what had Brennan imagined that never came to pass, and what happened organically that then changed the course of the campaign.
There's a fantasy high playlist with two more episodes on behind the scenes which may have that (haven't watched it bc I'm moving onto the next dimension 20 series asap but I'm sure they'll mention something)
I kept waiting for it... I thought - how are we so close to the end and don't know who his parents are?? Especially his dad, when his dad insights were some of my favorite recurring jokes in the show? And moments later, seemingly out of nowhere, Brennan says 'roll insight' and for the first F***ING time Gorgug rolls not only a not-bad roll on an insight check, but an actual nat 20, and there he is... HIS DAD. I felt such joy in that moment
"Bad things happen to good people because things happen all the time and it is up to people to determine whether they are bad or good. In the same way as your heart feels and mind thinks, you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares and if you don't, then it doesn't." - Brennan If anyone also wants the profound quote
So Jawbone adopts Adaine, then dates Sandra Lynn, making Adaine and Fig kinda siblings. Adaine is also now related to Tracker who's with Kristen. Gorthalax and Sklonda hit it off connecting Fig and Riz, Harriel and Gilear connect Fig and Fabian, making almost all the Bad Kids related.
Dude, the “honey, we are going to be the goblins who *killed* a dragon” got me, especially with the minor running sub theme that goblins are assumed to be the bad guys who always serve the big bad.
I cannot believe how well Brennan managed to wrap up all of their character arcs for this season so satisfyingly. -Riz cracked the case and killed the dragon that killed his father -Adaine defeated her sister and found a new home that loves her -Fabian made his father proud and killed him taking on his mantle but in his own not cruel way -Kristen Applebees literally made a god -Fig found her dad and now has more dads than she knows what to do with, and more importantly Gilear is the vice principal. -Gorgug found his dad and is no longer a freak loser AND YET, there's still so many obvious ways they can continue to progress. Brennan is a really fucking good storyteller. I feel like it would take any other dm way longer than 17 sessions to do what he did.
@@dggyttggyhgzde1501 Yes! They continued it in Dimension 20 Live! Alot of incredible moments. I will say overall it doesn't feel as tight as this campaign did but its still definitely worth watching to see the continuation of these characters and this world!
1:12:53 can we talk about how this implies that Fabian spent his time making business cards for Riz? He might be the most thoughtful of them all, weirdly
he could have written one or two and then had his writing custom printed on the cards because I'm pretty sure they're made out of something that he can't actually write on
I know this has probably already been pointed out but, the “Sun falling from the sky” could mean “Son” referring to Riz falling from the sky with the badass finale.
honestly this scene is such a pure example of why representation matters so much !!!!!!! i'm a poc & it makes me so happy when i see other poc characters , it's so fulfilling
Allie: lists everyone they wants to have with them when time stops. Me: “And Jawbone.” Brennen: “Is that it?” Me: “No, they forgot Jawbone.” Allie: “Yeah that’s it.” Me: “No you forgot Jawbone!” Brennen: “Alright.” Me: “NO!” Allie: “Oh! And Jawbone.” Me: “Oh thank god” 😩
How many people MAX could they choose to take into the fight? I love the way it turned out, but I felt like they might've been able to get additional NPCs to help (unless "between" meant less than 12). In addition to the nine, I thought of Ragh, Basrar, and either Bud or Mr. Donovan. I know Ragh has his story expanded in Sophomore Year, but I think he could've gotten a jump on that during Prom. If Zelda's dad was there he would've seen how Gorgug is both an uninhibited combatant and a huge teddy bear sworn to help those he cares for. Bud would've been nuts and could've brought the whole halfling thing to Sklonda's attention--assuming he didn't try to light her up. Lastly, an ice-cream conjuring djinn could've made that sugary rain happen during the fight...as long as he's not bound to stay witnin his establishment. Sorry for the long wall of text. Spending a week binging this story really got me focused on certain characters and their tales. Unfortunately, I do not possess the greatest magic of all so that I may ask them directly without sounding incredibly dated.
Did someone reply and then delete their own comment? Sorry if that's true. I just went through my Notifications and saw the preview snippet. I would've like to know what it said.
By this final episode I literally just realized that Goldenhoard is a reference to him being a literal dragon that hoards gold. I'm certain most everyone else noticed this but it is very fitting and funny.
I'm guessing it would have happened that way anyhow, except maybe with a few others experiencing their own version of heaven. It was too perfectly detailed and acted out for Brennan to have come up with the entire thing on the spot.
@@gmork1090 on the last episode of Recapping Fantasy High (on RUclips) Brennan said what he probably would have done. They would have kept the fight going somehow, probably by leaving the gym and ditching the model. I don't think he had planned for what actually happened, which just shows how amazing Brennan is as a DM
@@gmork1090 As a DM with a similar level of experience as Brennan in both D&D, improv, and philosophy, I can assure you that magic was made on the spot with a lot of talent and a little luck.
@@devfre44 Yes! Knowing that makes every time they do anything so much better. Like you can see whenever she does something insane he looks at her with this wild love in his eyes and fiddles with his wedding ring. And when Baron first came for Murph Emily threatened Brennan to 'stay away from her husband'
@@devfre44 No, in season 2! Have you seen it? She also tries to break character at least twice in order to save Riz from dying. She gets other people to help him by shouting, "Save my real life husband!" Which confuses Gorgug, obvs 😂
Riz: A mystery thriller story about a goblin trying to save his friend and avenge his father. Kristen: A journey of self discovery and a plot to use her soul to destroy the world. Fabian: The dude who pulled off every single epic stunt in the series. Adaine: A tragic betrayal that set a war in motion. Fig: The insatiable Jr. Meanwhile Gorgug: Are u my dad?
Murph‘s repeated crazy laughter and utter delight are so satisfying after the last two episodes. It satisfies both the rules lawyer and the storyteller in him so much.
13:20 Lou stays in character for 99% of the campaign, and the fact that he stopped the seacaster accent just to confirm that Arthur Aguefort is black and go "HELL YEAH" is so funny
Especially since he hinted at it in the line in heaven where aguefort was like "i will be occupied once we get back". I onpyfound that foreshadowing by rewatching that scene :D
Well he wasn’t even meant to die lmao. He had to rewrite the whole thing because they got destroyed by the corn cuties. He was meant to be a mentor throughout the whole series
@@NebulousNebula22313 I think he has used the wrong tense here. He means that he was “supposed” to die from the tea, but Brennan accelerated the death because of the cuties.
Brutally killed twice, eaten, sent to hell where his continued consciousness got ripped apart and shaped into a ship, to be controlled for eternity by zombie pirates... Damn that Oracle wasn't kidding with the whole destruction knows no bounds thing
“MAGIC is magic, LOVE is love-“ “then whats the answer, cokehead??” “CHRONOMANCY” its just too good. the comedic timing and rambly speech about love being LOVE and not magic; it’s so unexpected yet it was totally set up
I love how Gorgug has batshit pro gun gnomish parents, gets a shy dom satyr gf, and spends the entire campaign trying to find his dad, to finally find him at the end
Gorgug is secretly the most based character in the series. Edit: Except for the swashbuckling pirate, the ancom halflings, and Jawbone. And Arthur Aguefort. And Gorthalax. And the entire Gukgak family. ...Shit, almost everyone here is based!
"I don't know how long it's gonna take me but I'm gonna eat YOU, bitch!" I can't even begin to explain how hard it was not to cheer while listening to this at work. At some parts i did and was no ashamed about laughing aloud.
"You, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares." That whole part with Kristen in the Void is just....absolutely incredible. Brennan is incredible.
Hard agree. This is the moment he turned it from a gripping campaign to a profound question about existence. ...I hope Kristen gets to revise her new god a little bit, though. I want something as compelling as the philosophers.
“It doesn’t feel like an end. It feels like endless potential.” -Brennan Lee Mulligan, 6:37 I swear Brennan just created my new religion with that speech.
Honestly, when you go deep on dnd religion and divinity lore, specially using all editions, its fucking crazy, really deep and complex, there are plenty of light novels and xiauxia that use it to huge potential.
@@ThunderStruck15...or literally the second verse of monotheistic religion lol ? or the hylic matter of Plato and Aristotle? this concept is as old as cosmology itself.
Riz spent this whole series getting dunked, slammed, thrown off roofs, trapped in crystals, and just getting beaten by these enemies. He couldn’t roll to bring his mom there. He couldn’t get the police. But in that last moment, when the entire end of the world was bearing down on him with the gaping maw that had consumed his own father, he found it within himself to grab his sword, and his father’s mighty gun and make the world right with one saving throw.
13:30 Lou's surprise is precious but Brennan did say so. No lie, Arthur Aguefort is one of my favorite characters. He seems literally incapable of doing anything less than the most.
Fantasy High was such an incredible experience. Thank you Brennan and all the cast for this, I had so many tears and smiles, and I learned to enjoy DnD a lot more because of you. Love you guys so much!!

Ngl, that kind of mirrored my slow coming out experience from age 15 to 24
E
Some people aren’t that deep 🤷♀️
now that's character development 👌🏽
ally asking for a nat 20 to be alive is probably the most crazy moment of the campaign, but Lou reaction when we see arthur gets me every time
That was the tangent Brennan needed to give them another fair shot. It was a beautiful feat of improvisational storytelling.
fun fact: according to the death saving throw rules, throwing a nat 20 on a death saving throw actually does bring you up to one hitpoint.
13:28 For anyone else looking for it 😂 One of my favourite Lou moments, but there have been many!
Daniel: I knew of that rule, but I think the reason it was so wild (I might be wrong) was because Ally was done rolling death saves and was stabilized, so there shouldn’t have been any rolling and it was just waiting. I think you’d need to get the Nat 20 before the first three successes are rolled.
Either way super awesome!
I thought Brennan was going to treat the Nat 20 mechanically like a successful Divine Intervention role, since the probability is similar, but I like what happened instead.
You know Gorgug might be social awkward but he is the only one who managed to get a girlfriend
What about Kristen?
Jordan Rodriquez I don’t think Tracker and Kristen were officially dating until Dimension 20 live. Might be wrong tho
AND a boyfriend
You saying this makes me think. No PC character is dating a boy. That’s just something to note about this whole thing, and it’s interesting.
Also I think Kristen and Tracker are together, in some way anyways. Maybe not completely together, but at least getting there.
@@All54321 Kristen and Fig both have gf's later on , Adaine and Riz are single , Fabian may or may not be with Adaine's sister and Gorgug is with Zelda, Rog was dating some elven dude too as far as I remember
Jeez the whole bringing it back around to the chronomancy speech from the first episode in what was basically a rant from a mad man was just perfect. My lord. Brennan is top tier
MAGIC IS MAGIC! LOVE IS LOVE
So great
And all of that fucking on the spot, because of that insane nat 20 revive!
I KNEW that was going to come back around, I mean, why else would he say that.. I totally had it wrong on the how, I thought it would be a time traveling thing. I’m not finished with the episode so who knows lol
@@Droucko Part of me wonders if Brennan was going to introduce the heaven segment anyway as soon as the party wiped. It seems like an awful lot to come up with on the spot, especially plot related stuff.
Riz took “eat the rich” to a whole new level.
Aerosmith in the Background
I was gonna say that, wished someone in the cast made the joke!
Wait... you mean it's not literal?
Rich people taste like pork from what I hear

"YEAH!"
*aggressive goblin eating noises at the speed of light*
The look of genuine confusion on Zac's face at "I was about to ask you the very same thing" kills me.
The story of Bill marrying the woman who bested him and revealing how his eye was removed (which is a big part of his and Fabian's characters and arcs) is so cool and honestly romantic. I love how Brennan thought out into the details or either decided that on the spot, it's beautiful
AGH! Yes, that is so incredibly on brand for the whole Seacastor family!!
Fabian’s mom was also a pc in another game that Brennan played
@@mrbibs350 which game??
@@mrbibs350 WHICH GAME DONT LEAVE US HANGING
@@mrbibs350 WHICH GAME PLEASE WE HAVE TO KNOW
As a longtime DM myself, watching Brennan take an unexpected Nat 20 and improvising a scene that tied up loose ends from session one, completed Kristen’s story arc and completely justified a long rest mid-final boss, this man is my hero.
Also, how did you finally get tears from me with that Gorbag scene? So good.
E
He took about a minute to recalibrate after Ally's amazing roll and came up with one of the most satisfying narratives ever 😂 that's amazing writing right there
Yh that was ridiculous!, I love my DM but jesus christ that was next level.
he even made a callback to sklonda needing to go grocery shopping when they are kalvaxis! 😮
how would the story have ended if that dind't happend?
HE FOUND HIS DAD. WITH A NAT 20!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW

Fabian telling his Mom to do something and not just be a thing in his house was Such a good role playing moment and it made the last bits about why Bill married her so much more impactful!

Twelve hours stuck in a dragon's mouth. It kind of had to happen. Thanks for pointing it out.
How does the time magic work with that? Is nothing able to make contact until the freeze ends or?
Aguefort is the best use of the murder hobo D&D stereotype I've ever seen
Strategical murder hoboing

@@CryoXerxes Considering every wizard I've ever played acts the same way I can't argue with this.
What good is almost limitless power if the person handling it acts responsibly.
Augefort really said "murderhobo factory" and made Augefort Academy
@@frozenyogurth It's the only logical outcome if you would make this kind of academy in real life.
A bunch of children being taught how to be adventurers? They will be murder hobos
I love that Aguefort is essentially the avatar for chaotic, rule-of-cool DMs. He's obviously lead this incredible, ridiculous life as an Adventurer and everything he does is just him running with whatever bonkers idea he can come up with, while also facilitating the same for his students. There's a whole story going on in the background of this campaign where he kills himself, sneaks into heaven, and kidnaps the sun and we have no idea what that's even about.
it's?? kinda implied that he did that to escape his poisoned tea???? but honestly I think he did it just cuz. thought it'd be funny
I love how the two greatest moments "Friendship is Magic" and "Is Arther black?" are just back to back.
Spoiler;
Riz eating the dragon is the embodiment of the phrase "eat the rich"
"i have leftovers" mmmmmm, dragon meatloaf anyone?
too bad that Gorgug the raw meat eater didnt have some...
I'm more surprised there is a phrase like that
@Ethan Richter
It’s an anti-capitalist statement about how the working class should overthrow and claim the property of the wealthy. Plus, they taste very rich.
@@ethanrichter3268 It was supposedly a quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The full quote is "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich".
09:44 Kristen just made Consent her religion and I can think of no more appropriate and meaningful an ending to this bonkers show.
Consent, confirmation, affirmation. The tenants of Yes!
if you see the dimension 20 live at the bell house (college humor put the video on youtube) Kristen and Tracker talk about Yes! and end up coming to the idea that Kristen loves questions and the exploration of more, so she changes it to "Yes?" instead of "Yes!" lol.
@@EthalaRide I loved that as well.
You can also interpret it as the Patron Saint of Improv Comedy, "Yes and..."
@@enderesting OF COURSE
"it doesnt take a nat 20 to tell you wilma's my mom and digby's my dad" SO precious.
Right?? I teared up!
And the drawing of them hugging him and all crying after he died and returned to life, that was too much for me, such a cute scene
In my head, Zelda tells her parents that she's heading out to a drunken orgy when she is actually hanging out with Gorgug listening to music.
Brennan's speech from the source of divinity is absolutely stunning and nuianced and deep. "People are fractal images of the universe" and "bad things happen to good people because things happen all the time" are wonderful.
Well said. It's times like this when Brennan's philosophy degree really shows. What a wonderful man.
What time stamp???
@@Summyer the scene starts at 6:20 :)

I love how Fig ended up with the most parents and stepparents 😂
She’s got her mon Sandra Lynn and her man Jawbone, her dad Gilear and Fabian’s mom, her biological dad Gortholax and Riz’s mom. She went from emo child of single parent to the most beloved child on the planet and I love that for her.
Dude, you have 666 likes and I hope no one touches it. Hail Gortholax. lol
She also has the most siblings, with Jawbone being the guardian of the Abernant sisters, Tracker, and Kristen, Fabian through Gilear and Riz through Gorthalax. The only main character she isn't legally related to is Gorgug.
@@ianhammock4564 up for debate because uhmm what if Gortholax is his dad?
E
Riz is Figs brother through Gorthalax
Fabian is her brother though Gillear
Aiden was adopted by Jawbone, who ended up with Sandra-Lynn so she is her sister
Kristen is dating Tracker who is Jawbones niece (secret daughter?)
Gorgug is really the only one out of the loop, but he still has 2 pairs of loving parents and is one of her best friends
As soon as he said "the greatest magic of all is chronomancy" the first time I immediately was like "that has to be a chekhov's gun" and committed it to memory, I'm so glad it came back
Honestly one of the funniest quotes of the whole season for me, and that was before I even knew how important it would be.
there’s so many brennan sets up stories so well and pays them off even better. Adaine’s first scene ever started with her father telling her the elves oracle died. Kirsten’s little brother asked if she was going to fight a dragon. and so much more
I mean, Chronomancy has always been Chekhov’s Gun in all forms of media
Are we even sure he was going to give payoff for that until ally got the nat 20? Pretty sure Arthur killing himself wasn't planned so
@@rheawelsh4142 see, that's what I thought, but then I remembered the poison tea...
So is anyone gonna talk about how weirdly sweet the story behind Bill Seacaster and his wife was or
I wonder why she has never been sober around Fabian?
@@angus591 I think its that she knew the love of her life was doomed to die and she would continue on it was probably the same for her son.
@@jetvulcan2020 how do you know? Also, if she knew, why didn't she spend more time with her family
@@angus591 well first I said I think not that I know, but it's brought up a few times, Bill Seacaster brings it up in the first episode that he will get old but his wife will not. she brings it up in episode 6 while talking to Adaine about the fact that she married a human. as to why she would drink to avoid it, well that fits the high school movie nature of the show can't have to many active and involved parents with out issues.

@@liquidzen906 oh well, the lucky ones are us viewers that could see such bullshit in action lol
I'm still not convinced they didn't fake that bit... I mean the party was pretty much finished and it was right at a time they would end a session. So it was pretty 'convenient'
What happens if they lose a fight? Do you just "retry from checkpoint"?
Wait does this mean fig has three moms and three dads now?
...yes.
Figueroth Faeth, collecter of parents
This reminded me of a drawing I saw where Fig was exclaiming “step-sibs!” to Riz and Fabian. Riz was confused and Fabian was very against it. Thinking of that in context is interesting though...
And they're all great! Bill Seacaster is kinda involved too, but being dead makes that a bit weird.
She basically predicted Beverley Toegold.
“Reckless Shred” is such a fun way to give a unique ability to a Bard who spent like a year doing nothing but learning how to be a Barbarian lol. Killer series, onto Unsleeping City before season 2 lol

Not to mention that these kids then proceed to kill him and when he gets to hell he get absolutely bodied by, the one and only, Bill Seacaster and his crew of infernal pirates and turned into a living breathing ship.
brennan just explained the meaning of the universe to me
I almost cried at that universe speech for reals!
@@giualonso me too :o
Brennan took a lot of philosophy as he said. These are the things you learn in philosophy class and that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you find meaning profound then I highly recommend trying it! :D
Full existential depth - not what I expected from this show, but it was so perfect.
this is my new faith now
I’d love to have another episode with a breakdown of what was and wasn’t supposed to happen. Like what had Brennan imagined that never came to pass, and what happened organically that then changed the course of the campaign.
jawbone and the ancom halflings were some of the best running jokes ive ever witnessed
There's a fantasy high playlist with two more episodes on behind the scenes which may have that (haven't watched it bc I'm moving onto the next dimension 20 series asap but I'm sure they'll mention something)
Fig went from not having a dad and hating her mom, To having 3 moms and 3 dads that make her happy.
Wait how does she have three moms /gen
@@ericthebmo3433 she has her biological dad, her biological mom, her dad who raised her, her dad’s girlfriends, and her moms boyfriend.
Gorgug found his parents.
My life is complete.
we all know that gorgug had his parents all along 🥺
I kept waiting for it... I thought - how are we so close to the end and don't know who his parents are?? Especially his dad, when his dad insights were some of my favorite recurring jokes in the show? And moments later, seemingly out of nowhere, Brennan says 'roll insight' and for the first F***ING time Gorgug rolls not only a not-bad roll on an insight check, but an actual nat 20, and there he is... HIS DAD. I felt such joy in that moment
Maybe Gorgug's real parents were the friends he made along the way...
"Bad things happen to good people because things happen all the time and it is up to people to determine whether they are bad or good. In the same way as your heart feels and mind thinks, you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares and if you don't, then it doesn't." - Brennan
If anyone also wants the profound quote
So Jawbone adopts Adaine, then dates Sandra Lynn, making Adaine and Fig kinda siblings. Adaine is also now related to Tracker who's with Kristen. Gorthalax and Sklonda hit it off connecting Fig and Riz, Harriel and Gilear connect Fig and Fabian, making almost all the Bad Kids related.
Really the only one not connected is gorgug then because he has such solid parents
I feel like this is a Full house episode
and then there's Gorgug lol
They're all like step siblings and half step siblings to each other now
This is what I was thinking the ENTIRE time that epilogue was being narrated
Dude, the “honey, we are going to be the goblins who *killed* a dragon” got me, especially with the minor running sub theme that goblins are assumed to be the bad guys who always serve the big bad.
"What the f- is happening?!?"
"I created a new god..."
"Well that's... that's complicated and unnecessary"
I'm dying
I cannot believe how well Brennan managed to wrap up all of their character arcs for this season so satisfyingly.
-Riz cracked the case and killed the dragon that killed his father
-Adaine defeated her sister and found a new home that loves her
-Fabian made his father proud and killed him taking on his mantle but in his own not cruel way
-Kristen Applebees literally made a god
-Fig found her dad and now has more dads than she knows what to do with, and more importantly Gilear is the vice principal.
-Gorgug found his dad and is no longer a freak loser
AND YET, there's still so many obvious ways they can continue to progress. Brennan is a really fucking good storyteller. I feel like it would take any other dm way longer than 17 sessions to do what he did.
I can’t find any continuation so did they continue or did they not

How many people MAX could they choose to take into the fight? I love the way it turned out, but I felt like they might've been able to get additional NPCs to help (unless "between" meant less than 12).
In addition to the nine, I thought of Ragh, Basrar, and either Bud or Mr. Donovan. I know Ragh has his story expanded in Sophomore Year, but I think he could've gotten a jump on that during Prom. If Zelda's dad was there he would've seen how Gorgug is both an uninhibited combatant and a huge teddy bear sworn to help those he cares for. Bud would've been nuts and could've brought the whole halfling thing to Sklonda's attention--assuming he didn't try to light her up. Lastly, an ice-cream conjuring djinn could've made that sugary rain happen during the fight...as long as he's not bound to stay witnin his establishment.
Sorry for the long wall of text. Spending a week binging this story really got me focused on certain characters and their tales. Unfortunately, I do not possess the greatest magic of all so that I may ask them directly without sounding incredibly dated.
Did someone reply and then delete their own comment? Sorry if that's true. I just went through my Notifications and saw the preview snippet. I would've like to know what it said.
I was so worried about Ragh I comepletely forgot Jawbone, but then he lucked out with his death throws so it was all good.

Ally’s like “Cops don’t keep us safe-WE keep us safe.” And they’re so right.
By this final episode I literally just realized that Goldenhoard is a reference to him being a literal dragon that hoards gold. I'm certain most everyone else noticed this but it is very fitting and funny.

I watched the entire fight to his death and it still took me to this comment to figure it out 😅

He couldn’t get the police. But in that last moment, when the entire end of the world was bearing down on him with the gaping maw that had consumed his own father, he found it within himself to grab his sword, and his father’s mighty gun and make the world right with one saving throw.

Well, if you want a ship to traverse Hell, you can't go wrong with one immune to fire damage!
Come again? I don't understand what you mean Ellie.
Gorgug's insight to ask about his dad was a natural 20
That's too wholesome
I just love the panic on Brenan’s face at the start where he’s clearly questioning if Ally had willed this god into existence in our world
13:30 Lou's surprise is precious but Brennan did say so. No lie, Arthur Aguefort is one of my favorite characters. He seems literally incapable of doing anything less than the most.
there's one BDG sentence that I feel summons Aguefort perfectly: "If I can't be accurate, I will sure as hell be extra"!
@@giualonso He's never inaccurate though. Most correct man in the game.
He is the sheer definition of maximum effort.
@@gmork1090 Plus Ultra all the way!
All Brennan originally said is that he had "dark skin." In a lot of fantasy literature, at most that means he has a good tan.
Fantasy High was such an incredible experience. Thank you Brennan and all the cast for this, I had so many tears and smiles, and I learned to enjoy DnD a lot more because of you. Love you guys so much!!
Hey, don't fret, dimension 20 will be live on the 25th 7:00 PST on twitch
I couldn't agree more. I can say with 100% certainty, Fantasy High is what made me decide to join a d&d campaign when i had the chance.
Good news, season 2 is a-comin'
sadlobster1 did anyone say when
@@Thebongosusetobethicc Not that I know of but look on Twitter, either Dimension 20 or Brennan himself confirmed that Season 2 is happening
Lol fig never attended bard class

“Everything in this world is bullshit, but understanding HOW is the key!”
