      Brennan is a masterclass genius story teller.........the way his players played completely shaped the story but in some very unexpected ways, but that we all should have seen coming. The story was alive his npcs were amazing. Especially avanash! Perfectly normal conversation with a sudden crazy comment out of nowhere said in the most normal fashion. I have never played dnd but always wanted to

      In one of the campaigns I play at the moment, we had an NPC named Brent. He got bullied by some of the group because he found some ill-fitting armour after a fight and was just ridiculous in general. Henceforth, some of our party dubbed him "Brent the Bullied". He finally died during our attack on the water cult after being dismembered and eaten by a giant shark.

With many eyes spread on their face like jewels, all gleaming with different reflected colors of the adventures they're seeing, clad in many brown/dark green layers of clothes with diagonal "skirts" if that makes sense? And they have much golden jewelery hanging off their nape and hands, clinking together in the rhythm of stories, the music of heroes. They have bottles containing universes, ready to mix into new creations, tied by rough ropes at their hips, and for some reason they HAVE to be wearing a short poncho to their shoulders.

    I love the fact that Brennan started the ep by shaming them for not asking the eagle’s name, and when they do ask he just says “John Feathers”
    That and knowing that he knew they had befriended an eagle last ep and it was going to probably have to be a named reoccurring NPC and either didn’t bother to come up with something until someone asked or just fully decided this dude’s name is “John Feathers” like in advance

      The latter. Definitely the latter. Him shaming them is a clear giveaway he had that joke locked and loaded.

    From this day forward I can *never* watch any kind of hospital drama TV show, no more Scrubs, E.R., House M.D., nothing. I can't even watch the Magic School Bus. Anytime after watching this video I come into contact with even the thought of a skeleton I am going to think of this, and I will almost immediately laugh like a madman. Hats off to you BLM, you've changed my life forever.

I absolutely loved the Avanash conversation and my sides hurt from laughing! When he first asked if the river was going to take them, I completely lost it hahaha
