Arthur Aguefort is the anti-Dumbledore. He is an old powerful wizard and principal of a magic school, but his pithy wisdom and inspiring speeches are baffling and upsetting, his life lessons have a confrontational frankness to them, and he radiates chaos instead of calm.
My party and I still use "jumping on tables" as slang for doing pointless things instead of the practical option; like our cleric trying to "Destroy Water" a whole river when she forgot swimming existed
Honestly the best thing to happen was Kristen and Gorgug dying cause Arthur Aguefort straight up murdering Mr Gibbons and shooting himself made me actively lose my mind. I was iffy about a D&D show but then that moment made sure I would watch every episode.
That was such a wild and iconic scene. Watching them having fun, goofing off, then Fucking Dying because they're on half health and have no spell slots
Aguefort: "Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Gibbons?" Mr. Gibbons: "Wait, what?" Loved it. Especially that it came as a surprise to Mr. Gibbons as much as it did to us.
Brennan immediately going "You want this, you took the time to write this question and I know you're going to do great" made my heart swell up so fucking much, so sweet man. And then he took a 180 straight into being the most intimidating man in the world and I'm so scared I believe I'm compelled to write and DM at least a session. Jesus Christ.
They say the Gatorade endorsement as a joke , but Wendy's just released a tabletop role-playing game and sponsored a critical role play through , so it's not impossible. Kind of surreal to see a game that I was ridiculed for playing in school , being so popular that a soulless corporation is now trying to profit from it.
I have two pieces of advice for every new DM. First, it is great to have a plan. To know why things are happening, to know who the NPCs are, what their motivations would be, and how you want to plot to actually go. The second is that no plan will ever survive contact with players. Vital NPCs will be murdered, or ignored entirely, Random set dressing characters will become cornerstones of the campaign no matter how innocuous. Rolling with the punches is the juice of the game, learn to do that even relatively well and you will be a fantastic DM.

For new DM, most important thing is for you and players to have fun ... thus the importance of the listener aspect. Then is to have a broad idea of what the story is you want to have the players go through.... so you can help prompt the players if they are stuck. But really just keep introducing little aspects and let the players run! DO NOT GET HUNG UP ON RULES ... you can always just tell the players you will look it up officially for next time. That’s it, have fun
My favorite npc was the hangman... and the Bill/Fabian moment "You know I'll die long before you..." - "Yes papa, you tell me every day" PS. Not a comedy writer, still don't like "classic" jokes. Gilear was awesome. Nothing makes me laugh more than misfortune if I know that person didn't actually get hurt. Every time my man stubs his toe I'm in tears, I hate this but it just makes me laugh so hard.
I uh, came back to this after finishing fantasy high sophomore year, and when I saw the shocking moves question, I immediately thought of the birth of hot Riz jumping off the ledge to grapple a centaur, or shooting the shadow cat through mirror and revealing that hot head of hair under his sleuths cap
11 months late but same. I have a huge crush on ally. I think zac is one of the single most entertaining people on any college humour content. And Brennan is just, Brennan. God I love these 3
i randomly skipped to the middle of the episode because boredom and ended up landing at the exact beginning of brennan’s speech about DMing for beginners. i’m about to try my hand at being a DM for the first time with some of my friends in a couple weeks and that was exactly what i needed to hear
By the way, I'm available all the days. Not just all the days that the fan game might happen, but literally all the days, I have absolutely nothing going on. I should be having things go on, but I don't.
I pictured a Gatorade commercial where everything's in black-and-white except of course the colored sweat but it's just Brennan and the group around table rolling dice in slow motion
I LOVE dimension20 and everything being done lately, but I am kinda worried about the audio mixing on these live episodes as I've seen quite a number of comments but no changes made one way or the other. The one with Emily and Brian as guests was peaking whenever they got excited. In this, sometimes I have to turn my volume up to hear Zac because he's so quiet, only for Ally or Brennan's laughs to be then extraordinarily loud. I wonder if it's better with headphones or worse?
I mean, there is a recap, but it's only a part of the show, while the rest is often wholesome discussion panel--or something that I am missing a word for :P Huge props to Ally for killing it as their first D&D game, 'tho to be honest I think I first saw them in Crit Role's Monsterhearts one-shot :)
"All the teens I know are depressed, queer socialists" like, I'm 31, but girl me, too! Apparently I was born too early, because I was that and all I got was bullied lol
I honestly have to say that Gilear, like many, is my favourite npc in Fantasy High. However, runner up is Bud Cubby and his family. The anarchists! "You guys want to make some bacon?"
I love you Brennan, and your energy, but the one thing every audio tech needs to know is to tune you a little lower than everyone else. The beginning of this episode nearly blew my ear drum.

Arthur Aguefort is the anti-Dumbledore. He is an old powerful wizard and principal of a magic school, but his pithy wisdom and inspiring speeches are baffling and upsetting, his life lessons have a confrontational frankness to them, and he radiates chaos instead of calm.
But that IS dumbledore.
0=Axel=0 dont forget all the sexual tension flooding his everyday
Does that make Brennan the anti-Rowling?
(It does. An awesome guy who creates an exciting magical story and is a good person)
"Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" vs. "DID YOU PUT YER NAME IN THE GOBLITUHFIRED??!!?"
Dumbledore's biography isnt nearly as spicy
"All the teens I know are depressed, queer socialists." Brennan, please. You cannot call out my teenage years like this.
i was all of those things but i didn’t know it
i am a teenager and i am all of these😭
I hope you got better. Depressed and socialist that is.
he is calling me out
I feel like this describes half of the people at my high school
My party and I still use "jumping on tables" as slang for doing pointless things instead of the practical option; like our cleric trying to "Destroy Water" a whole river when she forgot swimming existed
😂

Straight up, just "THE PRICE MUST BE PAID". I was waiting for the "nah I'm kidding" and it never came.
I've been watching Dimension 20 ever since
Aguefort: "Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Gibbons?"
Mr. Gibbons: "Wait, what?"
Loved it. Especially that it came as a surprise to Mr. Gibbons as much as it did to us.
"Are you my dad?" got better each time it happened! It evolved and grew!
Brennan immediately going "You want this, you took the time to write this question and I know you're going to do great" made my heart swell up so fucking much, so sweet man.
And then he took a 180 straight into being the most intimidating man in the world and I'm so scared I believe I'm compelled to write and DM at least a session. Jesus Christ.
Each time Brennan talks at the camera I feel cared for and comforted. Thanks Brendad ❤️❤️

But Wizards of the Coast already does that.
HEYOOOOOOOOOOOO *audience laugh track*
Soulless because Wendy is a redhead
I still can't believe CR took it down and now they mute anyone that talks about it on Twitch. Like they can pretend it never happened.
@@elguapo1690 What exactly happened with that? I watched it live and it was pretty well received from my point of view.
@@tylerhilpisch7850 it was taken down the next day and a mod warned me about talking about it. Apparently that's something that'll get you muted.
"all the teens I know are depressed queer socialists" i feel seen
Around the hour mark just, but just before 1:02:12
Learning that Zac's Dad is a karate master was something I wasn't prepared for
45:08
"would you ever consider having a guest DM so you could play"
Lucky you Brennan, you got your wish
Which episode?
@George M. The Misfits and Magic campaign! Aabria is the GM and Brennan plays Evan Kelpm. It's a great time.
Matt Mercer DMs the Ravening war
hey look, the two characters who die--
I mean you're not wrong
shrug
I was like “spoilers” thinking this was for season 2 then I remembered this was literally episode 3

@@cmattss4
Daw, thank you! I appreciate it ^_^
Seeing Brennan being a player now since aabria did misfits and magic makes this awesome
And now Ravening War with Merc
The boys love a good foliage shirt
You love to see it
It's crazy seeing all the BrenDad stuff after watching the Game Changer episode where his girlfriend said his really wants to be a father

32:12 The fact that Brennan is also a Mitchell and Webb fan makes me very happy indeed.
"ANGELIC HORDES COME FORTH!"
‘I think you’ll find that the restaurant has apostrophe in the name Applebees’
*caption proceed to spell Kristen Applebees like Applebee’s*
The most impressive NAT 20 Ally has ever rolled was on a D4
Zac's "talent for playing dummies" is very 90's Keanu Reeves
Dropout has been such a worth it 5$ a month for me
"Get Mercer on the line!"
Man, this aged well
Zac's looking mad cute in here. Ally and Brennan as well ofc💖
Zac: cute
Ally: cool
Brennan: wise
Yvonne Waweru *Zac
sorry, it’s a pet peeve
My first thought watching this video was "hmm we're getting quite a bit of leg from Zac in this..."
I'm surprised that they didn't bring up Zeldas parents considering how open with sexuality they had.
Brennan and the Intrepid Heroes gang seems to be the main source of my serotonin these days.
i felt so called out when he said depressed queer socialist. that describes most of my close friends
Depressed and socialist for sure. Not sure about queer but who knows I have never explored myself sexually so maybe I am queer. Who knows?
As soon as Brennan started on his response to the BrenDad question you could just HEAR the Thistlespring seeping into his voice
It’s funny how Brennan is Gorgugs girlfriend, both adopted and biological parents XD
"there was a cow"
I knew I related to ally for a reason
Brendad Momigan!
*BrenDad Lee Momigan
dont forget the "lee"
1:11:14 Brennan getting absolutely Whomped by the cc (they change Applebees to Applebee’s to contrast what brennan is saying)
Coming over to D20 after Brennan came over to CR EXU and hearing him joke about talking to Matt is awesome

Still watch this every now and then, mine was the birthday question
MY THREE FAVOURITES IN ONE VIDEO? THE POWER.
I'm here cus I've got a FAT and SEVERE crush on Ally
The Self-Worth Habit I know she’s so friggin cute
@@beatrixthegreat1138 ally is gender non-binary and goes by they/them, by the way 😊
The Self-Worth Habit oh didn’t know that. Noted
If you don’t have a crush on ally, are you even watching dimension 20?
11 months late but same. I have a huge crush on ally. I think zac is one of the single most entertaining people on any college humour content. And Brennan is just, Brennan. God I love these 3
i randomly skipped to the middle of the episode because boredom and ended up landing at the exact beginning of brennan’s speech about DMing for beginners. i’m about to try my hand at being a DM for the first time with some of my friends in a couple weeks and that was exactly what i needed to hear
That moment when you can't get anything but nat 20s.
On percentile rolls.
Super late to say this, but as kid who also got bullied at church as a kid, I feel you Ally
feels genuinely surreal hearing brennan reference drawfee as a college humour show in the beginning there
Brennan’s talks about experience not being the mark of a good DM, but instead a desire to make fun for others is what got me to start DM’ing!
Knowing that Brennan is into Mitchell and Webb just made me like him even more
GMing like the House always wins and “the battle not the war” philosophy is SO PROFOUND!
1:06:26 that was me!!! I loved this so damn much, and the whole stream was a blast to watch. Thanks again guys!!!
By the way, I'm available all the days. Not just all the days that the fan game might happen, but literally all the days, I have absolutely nothing going on. I should be having things go on, but I don't.
This hits different now
Ally is new to D&D? That's crazy cuz Pete is... the most developed character I've ever seen
Every time I see that shirt Ally's wearing I want it more and more
I pictured a Gatorade commercial where everything's in black-and-white except of course the colored sweat but it's just Brennan and the group around table rolling dice in slow motion
I'd love to get my hands on a d20 source book. Been toying with the idea of starting a fantasy high or unsleepong city campaign.
I LOVE dimension20 and everything being done lately, but I am kinda worried about the audio mixing on these live episodes as I've seen quite a number of comments but no changes made one way or the other. The one with Emily and Brian as guests was peaking whenever they got excited. In this, sometimes I have to turn my volume up to hear Zac because he's so quiet, only for Ally or Brennan's laughs to be then extraordinarily loud. I wonder if it's better with headphones or worse?
It's the same. They do need better audio engineering.
Just watching this for the first time and hearing the question about a murder mystery and then you ended up doing it, I love it.
47:31 This is why Aarakocra is banned in Adventurers' League hahahahahaha
honestly brennan, i love you
I want to answer the parents question. My dad is basically Mr. Applebees, and my mom is a mix of Sclonda and Mrs. Thistlespring.
Big Dad Energy radiating from BLM in this.
He always has big dad energy, man's was made to be a dad and his wants reflect that
You mean Brendad?
The whitest thing ally’s ever done is “look at the elbow”
36:05
Brennan goes into a rage lol
Just knowing that you've seen Mitchell and Webb fills me with such joy. British shows and comedians are hardly mentioned by americans. So thanks.
The level of foreshadowing in this is insane
I mean, there is a recap, but it's only a part of the show, while the rest is often wholesome discussion panel--or something that I am missing a word for :P
Huge props to Ally for killing it as their first D&D game, 'tho to be honest I think I first saw them in Crit Role's Monsterhearts one-shot :)
less than a second in, ally does something hilarious
Wait, Zac's dad is a Karate master?
That means Zac Oyama might be related to Mas Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin Karate o_O
Zac’s father is Yasuhiko Oyama, who trained under Mas.
zac sir pls spare hand in marriage
"All the teens I know are depressed, queer socialists" like, I'm 31, but girl me, too! Apparently I was born too early, because I was that and all I got was bullied lol
Arthur Aguefort is like a competent Leonard Powers. A couple of Chaotic legends.
Everybody loves their Brendad
45:00 is so funny with the last few seasons
"Brake legs or I'll have to"
Utterly obsessed with Zac’s shirt
these are my 3 favorites from d20 and I love that their dynamic ❤
36:35 the origin of goat house 🤘🤘🤘
Almost all my fave people on your show
Hustler Bojankins took Brennan’s speech to heart and changed his name
45:11 Tonight marks the wrap to a six episode arc Matthew Mercer ran on Dimension 20 where Brennan Lee Mulligan got to be a PC!
No one has ever come to my home games; everyone is fucking insane
edit-Can we just have a book of all Brennan’s tips and tricks for d&d
"Goatfish. Half goat, half fish, all goatfish."
lol BMX bandit is such an obscure reference. try Mumen Rider!
My god Ricky is such a mumen rider already, just jumping on rooftops looking for good deeds to do
Beardsley: "Get Mercer on the line,"
3 years later here we are
THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS
this is delightful
I've seen episode 15, but I'm not sure what Brennan means by "plunge"
Probably Fabian and his Papa?
@@Kiwi-cc7ibbill seacaster uses a plunger on the singer on the barrel?
I honestly have to say that Gilear, like many, is my favourite npc in Fantasy High. However, runner up is Bud Cubby and his family. The anarchists!
"You guys want to make some bacon?"
I started rolling my dice like ally and now I roll much better so it works
I love you Brennan, and your energy, but the one thing every audio tech needs to know is to tune you a little lower than everyone else. The beginning of this episode nearly blew my ear drum.
I felt high school had 0 personal growth. More of just actually gaining a regular level of social interaction
I can relate so hard to the parents question because my parents are aquefort/digby and sklonda/wilma
when is the new season fantasy high straming? I know it got delayed but is their a date?
Brennan as a PC FTW!!!
56:47 Gilear
I like Ally's idea of Talking Fantasy High with Chris Hardwick
kinda insane that ally just casually came up with adventuring party in this episode
Get Brennan on CR!
Well they got Mercer on the line lol
Mess with the Goat; get the horns. Go Goatfish.
