imagine this-- Liam and Matt are the only people on the main cast that haven't been DM-ed for a Calamity-era story by Brennan. What if we don't do another calamity series, but an arcanum series. What if we see the beginning of the Ring of Brass? The beginning of the political corruption with fewer members. Maybe Loquacious is off doing a press tour for some big drama in Vassalheim or Nydas is conducting a deal in Wildemount. Somehow there are two less members at the table and Matt and Liam come in. Liam could be Evandrin (because why not?) and Matt could play a younger version of Loras of the Weaver's Mask (maybe?) or someone in the higher rungs of the city so we can see that side of the corruption and how it started. We could even see the attempt to plane shift that "killed" Evandrin at the end of it. I just remember during the Calamity Wrap-Up Marisha said something about being at high level and not being able to play the "pick yourself up by your boot straps" archetype for Patia, but maybe we can see that era of her becoming the Keeper of Scrolls, or more of Zerxus's weird oracle powers that HE CAME TO AVALIR TO LEARN MORE ABOUT (that detail was dropped so nonchalantly and it keeps me up at night). Maybe we could see Laerryn and Quay's wedding, or their actual divorce! Who knows. This is just some silly idea I had.
I was going through old episodes and was going to gif this, but....it's just not the same without being able to hear Brennan yell, "TITTIES!" So, video.
I need a fantasy high spin-off with only Fig disguised as Dr.Keller, Working at the hospital
hob?? and rue???? has instantly shot up into the most compelling dynamic in the campaign for me
hob, used to being undermined and disregarded, not thinking that anything he says would have an impact on this elegant, ethereal being
and rue, always seen as self-possessed and in control, having their world rocked by the words and actions of this honourable, genuinely-trying -his-best goblin far beyond their expectation
what a masterclass by oscar montoya and brennan, wow
emily axford with gift of gab is truly op
brennan and aabriya having an aside commiserating about it was great. dm-to-weary-dm communication
ohhh “the true nature of their GED quest” in the episode description
twist episode? excited to see what lore brennan drops on the jedd quest and maybe meet the person who is too chaotic for even arthur aguefort to handle!
watching brennan lose all control during katya and penny’s turns is hilarious.
just being constantly heckled and rules-lawyered (with love)
zelda feeling self-conscious about not being able to contribute to the skill checks at the library and choosing violence on the guard as her help action is Extremely Good
zelda (and brennan tbh) just caving and calling it the “jed quest” is extremely funny to me
“i think we as a group need to heighten our standards a little bit”
“not all of us has been quarantined with a partner, okay!??”
i love this group of people so much!! they’re friends!! and they razz each other!!
(the lil look brennan and izzy gave each other, and izzy’s zip motion across her mouth is so cute 🥺)
the conversation between sam and penelope is Gutting. the simple fact that they know each other down to their bones, and knows perfectly what to say and how to say it in order to hurt each other the most. neither of them willing to let the mean girl facade slip even when one of them is in Literal Hell is just…shiver inducing.
penelope, who delights in pain!!! and sam, who does not!!!! my god, persephone and brennan acted the hell out of this scene
“...and his name will be known to him before it is known to any other”
i’m so??? emotional about this line. truly a passing sentence in a bigger scene that made me felt Seen and Known
i think a lot of its impact is because it wasn’t a Big Thing™️. the scene didn’t grind to a halt to mention pete’s transness, the language used wasn’t anachronistic and fits right into the historical setting.
transness is just another facet of who pete conlan is: he’s someone’s descendant, he’s quick-witted and fast-talking, he’s A Mess sometimes, and he’s trans
trans people existing as fully realised people with hopes and dreams, pasts and futures to come; it just means a lot to me
brennan telling ally fuckin’ beardsley to google something about astrology is the biggest flex, dear god. what a capricorn move
i didn’t know i wanted it, but now that it’s been said i’m fully YEARNING for content in which cody calls kugrash “master splinter” to his face
brennan nodding along and smiling as kugrash is speaking and expositing lore is DELIGHTFUL
and murph seems so comfortable back in the old grumpy rat man persona
the absolute SOFTNESS in brennan’s voice when he says “a ~penguin~”
fuck, yes, five friends being passionately anti-capitalist and shitting on billionaires for ten minutes is ENTIRELY MY JAM
Brennan is to Sam what Emily is to Brennan. Vic is to Sam what Beardsley is to Brennan.
I love that Adam ruins everything has just slowly evolved into Adam explains how capitalism is a human meat grinder into which we are all slowly falling
Brennan Lee Mulligan every time he plays a PC/NPC on d20. Bro has had to actually talk about how he just thought he was playing as human of a character as possible and then pulls out fucking Evan Kelmp.
This season is 20 episodes long because they keep replaying the first 5 episodes 4 times until Brennan gives up in despair.
Ope! And there goes my plan of being a murderous racist

Reblog if the most terrifying thing you can imagine is not knowing where your bones are
The Exandria DMs talking about the shit their partners put up with bc they're obsessed with worldbuilding is hilarious. The idea of brennan lee mulligan standing in his kitchen, in the dark, holding a half filled thing of half and half, staring into the middle distance and thinking about dnd is the funniest thing I've heard in a while
I think this episode really illustrates how we were expecting the wrong contestant to snap
We all watched brennans epic rivalry with Sam and thought it was be him to finally destroy Sam. But we ignored that brennan loves to follow the rules and try his best. He's gonna do godamm best at these fucked up trials Sam puts him through
Vic, lou and Jacob however HATE being told what to do and will do anything to make Sam pay after Sam's says
such nerds fr i love it
breaking shit
