This season fully inspired me to make a Pied Piper bard character who actually got killed by the rats and so now the critters are wearing his clothes and pretending to be him
That’s pretty great actually! I came up Beast from Beauty and the Beast, who was forced out of his castle. He then wished to fix everything, by finding by Belle. Thankfully, he figured out another way to change. He’s an inverse druid, he has to wolf shape to be human, and cast spells. I thought it was cool change to the druid formula.
51:10 - "You're very much a cat. So when you stand up, it's not like you're anthropomorphic. You have long-cat tummy." is the best character description I've ever heard.
i think its very interesting how careful Pinocchio was about names to the stepmother. Tim with the broom, the frog guy, the princess. Never full names. He's learned his lesson
I love that Murph is always totally okay with being the most gross character to imagine everyone else is like “she’s creepy but in a beautiful way” and he’s like “IM A RAT”
"That's why they build castles. That's why they build 'em. So we can be _in_ here." makes me laugh so hard every time I see it, Murph knocked it out of the park with this character. That whole scene is gold. 35:36
Murph played that backstory so smoothly and effortlessly, it wasn't until Brennan got snagged on that absolutely insane take that I was reminded it was all improv'd
Emily's reaction would totally be my own playing this campaign, I freaking love body horror and twisted fairy tales and everything this season is about. Horror has never scared me, I don't get scared by things, I'm absolutely fascinated by dark fantasy and horror. Further proof that Emily is the most relatable D20 cast member for me, closely followed by Ally for various reasons. Cheers!!!
Emily being a hungry werewolf child licking her lips asking her family to let her in was terrifying, and Lou and Ally holding each other terrified was my for real 1:48:41
As a fellow DM I fucking love the concept of very "grimm" takes on fairy tale characters. That body horror with the thorns was the perfect hook and it only got better from there. Truly fantastic
such a minor part but Pinocchio and Pib finally getting to the upper chambers, having all this intel and loot at their easy disposal, and just deciding to jump on the bed and rip up the mattress killed me.
When Brennan says that something is on her when she wake up, I so much taught this was the story where she give birth to twins and they suck the needle out…. 😮
@@Ladruidelune as much as they’re leaning into horror this season i think they’re gonna stay away from the sexually violent aspect of the stories. and i’m so thankful for that. i’m down for fucked up fairy tales but that’s a bit much
@@liamross340 they hundred percent come with trigger warnings. Brennan has been very vocal about his table as a safe space for everyone. You don't even need to sweat. Welcome to the discomfort zone.
@@liamross340 Totally agree. And honestly, it is not that horror-like because the characters are so expertly portrayed that everyone breaks once in a while and they all have a laugh.
I've watched this up on Dropout and the entire series is very much worth it. It's crazy how you get sucked into the universe that Brennan and the players create! The horror spin is amazing too.
My dropout subsicription ended on the day Episode 2 Was released and I don't have much money right now so I'll probably wait till all episodes are released (or all episodes except the last one) but I'm really impatient so it's just torture for me right now
@@crashbandicute7383 I don't live in a third world country luckily but we're still struggling because of inflation. Does the youtube subscription include everything that dropout has? And can you download the episodes to watch offline?
@@Faeriiexx Dimension 20 doesn't always release all of the episodes for every campaign. For a number of them, they've only released the first episode to whet the appetite and to get people to subscribe. Some of the best seasons only have Ep 1 out on UA-cam. You can see Fantasy High, Escape from Blood Keep and Unsleeping City (season 1) in whole, though.
I am absolutely here for watching Murph play a garbage excuse for a human being (frog) He normally plays such wholesome bois (Riz, Barry, Kugrash, and so on). Cody (Night-Angel) was kind of a bad person, but he was so over-the-top with his edginess that he seemed more oblivious than reprehensible. Now we get to see something of a pre-redemption Kugrash. I love it
I love how everyone was sitting there terrified the whole time. Then there was Emily who was having a wonderful time and enjoying it so much, it’s awesome how different game genres strike players differently and with dimension 20 we get to see it firsthand.
The story and transition into the character's backgrounds was so fluid it honestly felt like I was watching a movie, the way everything connects with each other is so sick. Also I stan Lord Bandlebridge.
damn this cast and their chemistry , the storylines and npcs interwoven by brennan, it really felt like a cliffhanger at the end of the video which shows how invested and interested i got after one episode, which is difficult to do
With Pinnocio as a warlock, having the blue fairy as a patron seems like the most sensible way to portray it, but no, apparently that's not how things are going down.
I think that _is_ the case here. The blue fairy just seems more akin to fae, having taken the names of the parents in the village. After all, the woman (blue fairy) at the end of the hallway was named as his benefactor. Then again, I haven't seen beyond this ep so 🤷♂️
@@axolotl0424 actually, pretty sure the fae that Pinocchio's stuck with is the Stepmother from Cinderella, which is admittedly an odd choice but a very interesting twist
The tiny smile from Brennan-as-Stepmother with the glitch over it at 2:12:05 sent chills over my entire body. What a talented cast, I am so excited to watch the rest!!!
"Ain't it the way!" "I'm the Prince of Shoeberg!" Lou is so damn hilarious, honestly. Just finished ACoFaF which was glorious, and I'm absolutely enjoying this season as well! Lou and Zac have the funniest dynamic as two charlatans 😂
Same, then Mothers', "Hiii-YA!!" brought me back to laughter lmao Seriously didn't assume the wolf would be THAT wolf. (And not a spoiler, "Little Red Riding Hood", is very well known to include a wolf. And It's literally been out for ages.🤭)
I wonder how much of pinocchio not remembering people names when talking to his stepmother was actually him not remembering and how much was him trying to protect thier names from her
I got hooked to Brennan's DMing after seeing Calamity, but I'm subscribing to dropout mostly just to see more of Lou's Pinocchio shenanigans. His dedication to roleplay is 🧑🍳👌
@@JTGwozdz thanks for the recommendation. I’ve actually seen EXU calamity and most of the D20 shows. I’m addicted to the high intensity shows. The actual play I watched was Crown of Candy and I’ve loved lethal DND since then.
Your first mistake was assuming Brennan has intensity settings and not challenge ratings, and your second mistake was thinking that he isn't able to go up to CR 30.
this bit in 1:53:05 where little red doubts that pinnochio is a child because he didn't know any of the games she played with her grandma had me waking up my cats. i laughed SO hard.
rewatching this season premiere reminds me why its tied to starstruck for my favorite season EVER on this channel. omfg from the first minute of rosamunds backstory i am glued
First the horror of the briars and now I'm laughing loudly here at the prince's reaction to his changes: 'strange... that was froglike' dying here hahaha
i just need to vent my appreciation for brennan he’s just so incredible, like his acting and improv and storytelling is the best i’ve ever seen i very rarely enjoy dnd related content but this enthralled me it was like watching a movie and god i just can’t state quite how brilliant brennan and the rest of the cast were
i would not have gotten past "they wanted nothing more than a daughter." before my party interrupt the monolog by shouting "We'Re PlAyInG sLePiNg BeAuTy!?!?!"
"...You have your opinions on castles, i have my opinions on castles" holy shit i havent laughed so hard in a while and puss and pinnochios entire interactions are golden im so into this already 😆
Picturing Emily’s voice as going from this portrayal to one of a more classic werewolf as she turns while confronting her family is just wild. Like they couldn’t know if it was really her if her voice starts to get all werewolfy as she becomes more werewolfy. A truly horrifying scene.
For those of you on the fence about Dropout, this really has been one of the best seasons and I am goddamn terrified out of my skull. Genuinely, some of the stuff in later episodes has kept me sleepless, and everyone’s *on point* with roleplay. Please, please at least give it a free trial, this season is so, so good.
8:10 I love this slow linking of hands on shoulders that goes through the group, like they're all sharing trying to share their strength and energy and send it down the line to Siobhan xD
this season feels.... different than the others. by starstruck it was made very apparent that the intrepid gang was gonna put on a masterclass for us, and they definitely delivered. but now this season feels like brennan saying "oh? you fucked me up last season? good luck for round 2..." and now it's his turn. excited for tonight for sure, and for anyone that hasn't gotten a dropout subscription yet, i would highly recommend doing so before you get heavily spoiled in the comment section lol.
UGHHH the editing this season is impeccable! The intro, the character introductions, the little effects over Brennan, it adds so much flavor! Absolutely love Lou’s Pinocchio voice, Ally and Emily’s lil familial dynamic is so cute, Siobhan as Rosamund is so dainty and gentle, Gerard being a frog with a midlife crisis oml, and Zac Obama being the best lil catboy-literal perfection.
To add some horror, thorny bushes are an ecosystem of insects and small things that go "greekh" in the night.. Trapjaw ants, jumping spiders and slugs are to be expected to live on those thorns.
This series is a work of art so far! Words can’t express how well Brennan GMs. Every piece of media with him in it is gold. Thank you Brennan, Lou, Zac, Brian, Emily, Ally, Siobhan and the rest of the College Humor crew. Especially after the series concludes you can bet imma be watching this over and over again. Timeless media
I’m going to be honest and say I wish this was a tv series. Like have the story/backstory/plot-without the game aspect-be acted out by actors because I really enjoyed watching it❤️. I feel like it could potentially be up there, or even above, Once Upon A Time. I’m a huge fan of watching or reading any version of fairytales. So, when I listened to Mo Mo O’Brien’s Neverafter tribute song collab with R. Morgan Slade I knew I had to check out Dimension 20’s Neverafter. And I’m so happy that I did. I can’t wait to check out where I can watch the second episode.
I am kind of peeved that the artist didn't go with Brian Murphy's wonderfully gross and disturbing description of the frog prince, and instead just drew a basic frog humanoid.
howdy, here to add to the chorus of ppl stating how dang good this season is. we're about to get episode 4 tonight and it's ALL i've been thinking about since last week
Serendipity strikes at 40:20 With the brief pause all I heard was "weed..." Pib and Pinnochio are fantastic Brennan, there better be a Goose-Hydra boss at some point in this campaign.
I would play the muffin man with an evil gingerbread man familiar. The horror twist can be like a evil gingerbread recipe that brings pet cemetery like gingerbread creatures to life.
I would play one of the Lost Boys(Feytouched Urchin Rogue) he discovered Peter Pan not only is the one stealing the kids from their mothers but is also killing any of the boys that reach puberty, he’s 16 now and has been on the run from a flying imortal with a living shadow and a replaceable pet pixie since he was 13, while also trying to find his mother, my end goal with this character would be to actually grow him into Captain Hook Edit: other similar options(mostly changes to backstory) would be to base the character around Wendy or one of her brothers, same settings for Peter Pan, but if you’re Wendy you’re running away from an immortal creep in the body of a child who doesn’t want you to grow up, while being her brother would mean you’re actually hunting down Peter Pan after he kidnaped your sister
The stepmother being assigned to Pinocchios story in some way is absolutely vile and clever. A scary woman taking advantage of a little boy with no mother is gut wrenching.
Just wanted to say I WOULD have watched it here but after subscribing to dropout I've already blown through the available episodes. 100% worth the subscription and new Dropout shows are some of the entertainment highlights of my week.
I cried in “once upon a time” episode and little did I know Ylfa was crying too 😭😭😭 it was such an emotional moment and I was swept in the story Brennan told, what a brilliant campaign this one 😭😭😭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love how so far, this continues what made Starstruck Odyssey so great to me. The in character TERRIBLE decisions which lead to hilarity are wonderful.
Trust me when I say you won't regret it. Matt used to be my favorite dungeon master, but honestly Brennan's flexibility and willingness to lean into whatever the players are doing has taught me so much about how to be a good DM.

Hard sprigatito shade
what about old, gay prepper??
Pib and Pinocchio straight up gaslighting some man together is so funny
Pib and Pin.
It's even funnier when Del Toro's Pinocchio and Puss In Boots: The Last Wish came put around the time of the campaign.
i think its very interesting how careful Pinocchio was about names to the stepmother. Tim with the broom, the frog guy, the princess. Never full names. He's learned his lesson
Oo I hadn't noticed that, very cool
What lesson?
@@jester9215 not to trust her with real names
@@jester9215when the fairies were told the real name of the kid’s parent, they died
In faerie lore, names have a lot of power
31:45 Murph! You made a character who gets Re-cursed if their lover falls out of love with him? Outrageously heartbreaking and clever!
I keep telling people about this. It's brilliant.
I love the idea, that if they get divorced, he loses half of everything. To include his humanity.
i knoww! im really in love with his story
Fables the comic has this concept with Beauty and the Beast. It's such a unique concept.
I love that Murph is always totally okay with being the most gross character to imagine everyone else is like “she’s creepy but in a beautiful way” and he’s like “IM A RAT”
2nd time rat
"That's why they build castles. That's why they build 'em. So we can be _in_ here." makes me laugh so hard every time I see it, Murph knocked it out of the park with this character. That whole scene is gold. 35:36
"run that by me one more time"
Murph's chatacter is my absolute favortie this season
They fight that stuff OUTSIDE, then rocks, then US
Murph played that backstory so smoothly and effortlessly, it wasn't until Brennan got snagged on that absolutely insane take that I was reminded it was all improv'd
Murph is so absurdly talented at playing a scumbag, which is all the more amusing knowing that at heart he is a lawful good paladin
emily being the most excited for the horror while everyone else was horrified was hilarious
Such a mood tbh 😍
Emily's reaction would totally be my own playing this campaign, I freaking love body horror and twisted fairy tales and everything this season is about. Horror has never scared me, I don't get scared by things, I'm absolutely fascinated by dark fantasy and horror.

Emily and Lou bring such chaotic energy haha
Emily and Lou have certainly gotten more into their chaos since A Court of Fey and Flowers. Good on them!

This promises to be the tensest, greatest, funniest season yet. Episode three was a terrifying masterpiece, can't wait for ep four!

I’m going to be honest and say I wish this was a tv series. Like have the story/backstory/plot-without the game aspect-be acted out by actors because I really enjoyed watching it❤️. I feel like it could potentially be up there, or even above, Once Upon A Time. I’m a huge fan of watching or reading any version of fairytales. So, when I listened to Mo Mo O’Brien’s Neverafter tribute song collab with R. Morgan Slade I knew I had to check out Dimension 20’s Neverafter. And I’m so happy that I did. I can’t wait to check out where I can watch the second episode.
I am kind of peeved that the artist didn't go with Brian Murphy's wonderfully gross and disturbing description of the frog prince, and instead just drew a basic frog humanoid.
howdy, here to add to the chorus of ppl stating how dang good this season is. we're about to get episode 4 tonight and it's ALL i've been thinking about since last week
I love this crew.
I'm also dying imagining Brennan playing the Wizards of the Coast CEO after this OGL leak. Please implement this idea.
Serendipity strikes at 40:20 With the brief pause all I heard was "weed..."
Pib and Pinnochio are fantastic
Brennan, there better be a Goose-Hydra boss at some point in this campaign.
I really really LOVE Emily's acting as Red, like, i'm really so stoked
I subscribed to Dropout for A Court of Fey and Flowers and stayed for Neverafter, best decision.
Same
Try a Crown of Candy if you like this. It's a different kind of intense but still intense
1:40:04 Ally was fully thinking Pinocchio is trying to investigate the Tall Dude before Lou says what he's ACTUALLY doing!! 😂😂😂
I had to go back and read the Brothers Grimm story about Puss in Boots and now this makes so much more sense. I love every second of these episodes!
You know it's going to be good when the TW list reads like a court case
aaaa ally's such a grandpa to the children they got all the mannerisms right
I really don't like watching others play dnd but this was something else. I would absolutely love to see this turned into a movie.
I would play the muffin man with an evil gingerbread man familiar. The horror twist can be like a evil gingerbread recipe that brings pet cemetery like gingerbread creatures to life.
I would play one of the Lost Boys(Feytouched Urchin Rogue) he discovered Peter Pan not only is the one stealing the kids from their mothers but is also killing any of the boys that reach puberty, he’s 16 now and has been on the run from a flying imortal with a living shadow and a replaceable pet pixie since he was 13, while also trying to find his mother, my end goal with this character would be to actually grow him into Captain Hook
Edit: other similar options(mostly changes to backstory) would be to base the character around Wendy or one of her brothers, same settings for Peter Pan, but if you’re Wendy you’re running away from an immortal creep in the body of a child who doesn’t want you to grow up, while being her brother would mean you’re actually hunting down Peter Pan after he kidnaped your sister
Enforcer for the shoe making elf union.
The stepmother being assigned to Pinocchios story in some way is absolutely vile and clever. A scary woman taking advantage of a little boy with no mother is gut wrenching.
1:40:20 the "Prince of Shoeberg" shenanigans begin
Just wanted to say I WOULD have watched it here but after subscribing to dropout I've already blown through the available episodes. 100% worth the subscription and new Dropout shows are some of the entertainment highlights of my week.
I cried in “once upon a time” episode and little did I know Ylfa was crying too 😭😭😭 it was such an emotional moment and I was swept in the story Brennan told, what a brilliant campaign this one 😭😭😭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love how so far, this continues what made Starstruck Odyssey so great to me. The in character TERRIBLE decisions which lead to hilarity are wonderful.
Wow, Emily's backstory really convinced me to finally get dropout, that was sick! Love your content
First time here. Critical Role fan. Brennen did such an amazing job on the calamity mini series as part of CR I thought I'd follow him.
Oh no, you fell into Brennan's trap. Now you're being inducted into the Cult of Brennan, and there is no escape. Roll a wisdom saving throw.
@@jeffquinz2118 *Nat 1*
@@jamesclare5894 You take 6d6 Psychic damage and are now Charmed by Brennan. Welcome to the cult! 😅
Trust me when I say you won't regret it. Matt used to be my favorite dungeon master, but honestly Brennan's flexibility and willingness to lean into whatever the players are doing has taught me so much about how to be a good DM.
@@elizabethlockhart2103 really appreciate the honesty. Look forward to seeing more of him.
Love that Lou is just playing Swifty this season, I love it
Siobhan is glowing (as per usual) in the thumbnail!
I'm not a fan of horror but I'm a fan of this cast, so here we are 😁
1:39:31 I noticed that jump cut from Brennan Lee Mulligan to Brennan Lee Mulligan, a pretty fancy piece of editing right there.
so ready to get episode four’d tonight
LMAO when Emily was doing the backstory and it just cut to everyone holding each other!
