“are you ashamed of me”
sir with all due respect, he introduces himself as your son when he walks into any room ever
There's literally no one with more pride for their father
This is interesting to bring up in this episode because remember he ran away last episode at the thought of never being self made like his father.
He is definitely not ashamed
He just hates how people shit on his father cause he's a pirate
Believes his father deserves some respect so introduces him with a job that is similar enough that 'normal society ' views as respectable
This part made me legit sad
This comment made me WHEEZE
episode 2: MULTIPLE MAIN CHARACTER DEATHS
episode 13: the about section of a bank website
Yeah but next episode’s chill point is: the police are an occupying army
D&D in a nutshell
WHAT? THEY FUCKING FOUND A SECRET HIDDEN ROOM WITH VIDEO OF RIZ’S DAD AND DISCOVERED BIZ WAS SHOVING PEOPLE INTO ARCADE GAMES. I...
THIS WAS SO DOPE????
@@ompatel187 chill point?
Yo-ho-ho,accessing pornography.
Gilear is so hard on himself, meanwhile Fig is over here "you have 2 extra children because their homes suck worse than ours does. You're doing fine"
“I have two dads and they’re great”
1:16:37
Damn that's a good point
"Or, I can ask your daughter if YOU make her feel unsafe." DAAAAAYUM.
Det. Gukgak is a real one
I mean wouldn’t you in that position
Nails wish were they that tough
@@georgeweasley54 that's CAPTAIN to you sir
@@AH-tu3km I genuinely read that in Capitain Jack Sparrow's voice
Riz saying "well I'm 14" to them questioning why his mom hasn't discussed his father's death more made me realize I completely forgotten how young they are
To be fair they are like, constantly doing drugs and drinking
@@pinstripe4254like most teenagers lol
@@ConnorVide fair fair, I was pretty abnormal
E
@@ConnorVide you guys are doing drugs?
the night in fabian's room where they all simultaneously get drunk, try to solve a mystery, accidentally stumble upon porn in fabian's computer, riz learns new info about his dad, and try to help gorgug score a date with zelda is the most accurate depiction of a chaotic teen sleepover that i've ever seen in media
Gorgug being genuinely taken aback by Zelda finding his rage hot was one of my favorite exchanges
As I read this the moment happened
E
@@EEEEEEEE do you just reply to everything with 'E' 😂
i was expecting it from the beginning
Wait when did Zelda say that?
Riz: we can’t trust any adult
*Riz tells his mom any and everything*
dont worry she's cool
To be fair, she’s a single mom and he canonically has very little friends. (None, except for Penny.) She’s also let him get away with a ton of stuff that is definitely against the rules.
That's very relatable to me as a momma's boy
I mean, she is the coolest, most badass cop mom there is. She is reliable and dependable. She WILL uphold the spirit and intent of the law and ensure the safety of her son. Social consequences be damned.
She's his fucking mom.
The awkward texting between Gorgug and Zelda is amazing, it’s like actual teenagers.
E
@@EEEEEEEEe
45:32
NGL I had completely forgotten who Zelda was before this episode
They know
Damn I love Brennan as a DM, when he said "accesing porn" basically unprompted I lost it.
Same, shiver me timbers
I'm watching this at like 1am and containing my laughter during that was next to impossible
Timestamp: 44:25
That moment nearly killed me XD
Fig (Emily) said "I search for porn" right before that, but Brennan started speaking before she even finished. IDK if it was unprompted or waiting for anyone to give him an excuse.
@@Peter_Cordes it was already setup that Fabian was being overly private with his computer implying he had something to hide on his computer (porn).. Then Kristen declares it must be porn.. Then Fig says the magic words "I search" and that's all Brennan was waiting for.
Great moment by all of them
It's so sweet how Gorgug realized a battle was about to happen and he got his parents out of there.
Zack is the most low-key considerate person, its so good that he uses his powers for comedy
I swear Zack is the smartest one of the party members, although it’s played for laughs and he always rolls terrible he’s actually incredibly insightful, he always seems to be pointed in the right direction and correctly guesses a lot of the mysteries and answers to things
dont forget hes the best at guessing dads
@@badgaming6670 the best in general really
@@e.keough2975 I love one man and that is Zach Oyama aka Gorgug Thistlespring
fabian calling bill “father” instead of “papa” after he got mad at him 😭
I didn't even notice that 😢
omg I noticed that too. It was sad
Time stamp?

E
The awkwardness between zelda and gorgug was way to real lmao
No, it's Michael Cera and Michael Cera
This was honestly every relationship I *almost* had with a girl in highschool
I know I got second hand cringe
I felt a sense a deja vu, because me asking out my first gf in my freshman year looked and sounded exactly the same way
@@lccm1026 same
"Hey how's your semester? I think you might be in trouble lol?"
too awkward, too real. I'm having flashbacks
“Hey how’s your semester? I think you might be in trouble lol. My tattoo is infected. Want to go to Basrar’s?”
I feel that awkwardness so deeply!
Adine’s “i feel unsafe” was the number 1 most satisfying moment in the entire show
Ha ha, it's was not
ha ha it was for Risky Busine55@@usernamenotinvaild
No sklonda's line: "Or,I can ask your daughter if YOU make her feel unsafe 12:30 " that it hard!
The fact that Zelda's immediate reaction to seeing Gorgug's friends is "of course this is a prank" breaks my heart. High schoolers really can be so cruel
That would be my exact reaction tho even though it never happened to me personally but I knew that was something that happened. Its truly sad
Been there dude, it's a real thing that happens
She's not a real person. Are you okay?
@@imaalias2162 people can feel emotions to fiction bud, are you okay?
man american highschools must be wild if this seems remotely relatable I thought thats just a trope in american tv
I like how the swearing is censored but the full explanation of exactly what docking is is left untouched
that’s because it’s educational 😌
That's UA-cam for you
And as always they add random bleeps to words that arent swears
And from time to time, when Brennan goes into a DM rage, the ducks fly free and uncensored
@@diegonoriega17 Brennan's rage is too powerful to be censored
Brennan's *smug* face right before they figure out Kalvaxis = KVX is everything
E
42:03
@@Ratigan2Now THAT'S good editing. Also, thank you for the timestamp.
It drives me crazy how many times they said it and didn't realize lol
I like how sending people to mumble is worse than death and the most reliable way to get anyone to talk
Anything is better than Mumple.
Not Mumple!
I feel bad for those halflings’ kids. They go to mumble
"The School for the Un-Gifted!?"
I mean, that's pretty accurate to how public schooling works.
"You know who wanted a Monarchy? Penelope." I WHEEZED
AND THE WAY MURPH REACTED
@@bellamccauley9645 that was the best part
I reacted almost exactly like Murph. Felt like finding a clue where you didn't even think to look.
51:17 Here it is.
emily is very jokey but she's also freakishly good at making connections
It's really funny how the town started out as "50s to 80s america but fantasy" but has gradually been yes-anded into "present day america but fantasy, with fantasy-powered scifi elements"
but also a town ice cream shop lol
@@jedinxf7my town has two icecream shops ! one is even 80s themed
It always read as 2000's America to me
It has to have all started with the “crystal” smart phones right?? 😂
1. I felt genuine shock and horror at that ending lmao.
2. Zelda and Gorgug are the most awkward couple on the face of the planet and it is so fucking adorable.
I ship it
Zelda and Gorgug are best girl and best boi
Idk man. Anyone who unironically says "m'lady" is automatically throwin' up red flags
The ending!! I knew there was something up when biz wanted to get the power source TO the arcade. Why couldn’t he have just used it there???
@@sophliberty yeah, i was agreeing with kristen that it was weird that a source was being conveniently made for the arcade. sucks she didn't connect that to biz
I really like how Riz learned about his dad being undercover as a goblin because people assume they're bad, THEN proceeds to be in the some position at the end of the episode when someone mistakes him for being a bad guy.
Wow I love that!
Damn I didn’t even notice that until now
WOW HELL YEAH.
I have never shipped a canon ship so hard before but man Zelda and Gorgug are making me squeal at how embarrassingly cute they are
I love them so much 💚💚
E
I know, when the Arcade reveal started happening, I was like "Get Zelda out of there now!!!"
They’re so adorable together
I know this is sad, but whenever Brennan roleplays parents, I just wish more parents in real life had his insight and cared for their children the way his characters do. Specifically Ms. Gukgak, Gorfalax and the Thistlesprings.
@@Nerdycopia I mean, I might get a nasty surprise later but the Gukgaks and Thistlesprings, and the Faeths and Gorfalax seem pretty good parents actually. Better than mine at least. But yeah the radical Halfling family was the best. Abernant, Seacaster and Applebees can suck a tailpipe, that's true.
@@Nerdycopia My point was that Brennan knows the difference better than my parents.
The takeaway here is that Brennan Lee Mulligan would make a great dad.
We recently found out on the first episode of Game Changer that Brennan's ultimate goal is to be a dad, and it all makes sense now lol
@@TimdeVisser86 I like the seacasters (not in the nurturing way but in the fun way) Bill seems like he wouldnt give a shit for anything bad I would do
Zack not breaking while Brennen explains docking is one of the most impressive feats I’ve seen.
sometimes i forget these guys are some of the most talented improv artists around and then stuff like that happens
E
OR BRENNAN TBH
1:14:16
…I had to pause. I am laughing so hard at the idea of these sweet little gnomes explaining docking to their adopted, socially awkward half-orc son. Okay. Time to watch this.
Bill Seacaster is truly some of Brennan's best role playing, he can run the whole range from jovial and boisterous to terrifying to frank and morose
E
I love how enveloped everyone is in solving the mystery while Kristen Applebees is just vibing and discovering herself.
She is on her own quest
And I'm fucking here for it. It's beautiful to behold.
I mean Ally said on the first session (Episode) "This is Fucking cool."
That's what makes it an adventure and a story worth telling.
girls are going missing, demons, wars, meanwhile applebee’s: am i gay???
Kristen’s immediate response to realizing she’s gay, being “consume lots of alcohol”, is dare i say it, a mood
And then later drunkenly telling her friends "I think I like girls", all of her friends being like "yeah it's super obvious" and then passing out on the floor
Once you break the first major religious barrier, all the rules go immediately out the window
it's so fucking accurate lmao, the same thing happened with me except it was donuts and chocolate and sleep deprivation instead of alcohol (and even the teachers were like "yeah we knew it")
@@ajaxbird2348ikr, it's so freeing
@@johnnyshortfor glad to hear you found yourself. Please practice better self care.
THAT BODY TEMPERATURE MOVE FROM BRENNAN IS FUCKING GENIUS IM REELING BACK ON HOW GOOD OF A TWIST THAT IS
E
I like how the religious savior turned into a Raging Alcoholic
Well realistic though ain't it?
She's not raging she's super chill 😁
Ally's character
And flaming homosexual
Zelda is perfect for Gorgug. She rages too hard. Gorgug cleft Johnny Spells In Twain and killed an owl bear in one turn.
@Taylor Spencer I love how as badass as Gorgug is, he's roleplayed perfectly true to his character.
They go to senior pom, end up in a rage, and end up half naked in an empty gynasim except Fig and Kristen are there cheating. They smashed the sound system so Fig becomes the band. People slowly come back in, because it's fucking Auegfort, so whatever
This comment would be so fucking confusing to someone who doesn't know what the hell it means and I love it
The ultimate power couple... literally😂🤣🤣
Gilear is THE funniest character.
"I'm pretty sure they're boning down right now."
'I'm in the market for another dad.' "B r u t a l."
and the whole garlic knots and pizza situation.
"Pack it in Fig" was my favorite part of that convo. Gilear fucking out of nowhere dunking on his one daughter is so unlike him, and I love it
@@applesauce4389 Same. I wanted to high-five the fucking guy. Like, he's usually so miserable and tired. Where did he suddenly get the dank skills necessary to dunk on his daughter without skipping a beat? I dunno - to me it feels like he's starting to regain his confidence a little. And that makes me smile. 🙂
Clarification: it's likely that the rib at Fig was a way to show that Gil is getting more secure in his relationship with her. A lot of really guarded people love talking shit to their friends as much as possible, because a relationship where you can safely do that (instead of walking on eggshells) is a relationship where you know you're safe. So to me, this looks like Gil testing the waters with Fig and trying not to be so formal all the time. At this point, I guess he may not feel the need to do that as much anymore in order for her to like him. And that's really sweet. I'm glad to see him slowly but steadily putting his life together. 🙂
Gilear is the best
@@Drekromancer oh f*ck, my heart that’s so sweet, like a scared child
I was not expecting to hear Brennan, without any hesitation, explain docking.
"We just... talked"
"You *docked?!"*
I love Riz’s players response to that.
1:14:04
TBF Gorgog absolutely said "docked".
My favorite explanation is Seananners's:
"You and your friend are wearing hoodies, and you put your head in your friend's hood... Except it's your penises!"
"we just shared ice cream" well I guess that's close lol
I love the idea that Gorgug asks for flirting advice from his friends but they’re all equally as awkward except Fig who’s first idea is “tell her you got a tattoo”
E
"Tell her the tattoo got infected!"
emily was born to rp fig
I like how it never occurred to them that Fabian lives in a mansion with likely many guest rooms but they're all living with poor Gilear who can barely afford to feed himself.
You know... there is more accommodation at the Seacaster Manor but also the unpredictable nature of Ret. Capt. Bill Seacaster.
It's because Fabian never asked or invited them to stay at his house. Where as Fig instantly offers them her home when someone needs to a place to stay.
@@angelpark2710also, last time they spent the night at Seacaster Manor, Bill didn't let them sleep or call their parents
I literally cried at riz's dads message to him
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!?!
how did none of them cry?
Dude same
Me too. After the whole cast didn’t cry, I came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one.
I cried right from the start (of the message from Riz's dad to Riz) 😭
Can we briefly discuss the fact that Zelda was turned on when Gorgug raged in the hallway. It had me rolling 🤣
59:20
his reaction is soooo good
She was too hot and bothered and had to leave😂🤣🤣
Relatable, honestly
I’m obsessed with Riz’s mom’s reaction every time she sees him at a crime scene.
“God fwcking-not agai-actually I can’t even blame you I mean me and your dad… Sigh.”
@@yourlocaldemon2195 what was the deal with Riz's dad?
@@rheegret8405 I'm guessing you've still got some episode left?
It gives "Why is it, when something happens, it is always you three" from McGonagall.
@@MaximusChivus Yeah, I just finished season 1.
"Prive-tear me a new one" was SORELY underrated.
Daymn, may I get the timestamp please? XDD
@@vi5151 44:51 And it was definitely underrated for Emily to come up with that pun that quickly. I had to stop the video cause I was laughing and wasn't listening anymore. 😂
I love the laziness of "Fantasy Google Search." And at the same time Brennan is improvising a Pirate-themed PC AI and clips of pirate pornography, absolutely incredible.
E
by far my favorite scene in this whole campaign is Gorgug texting Zelda while everyone tries to help him flirt. And the whole time Riz is just, having a mental breakdown over his dad.
YEAH. I’m just imagining Riz holding his head in his hands on the floor with his knees up and the rest of the kids are helping Gorgug flirt
"My friends are just really loud"
"FATHER!!"
“Hey guys i got a slushy”
“Thats a margarita. Who gave you a margarita”
My favorite moment
It’s wartimes I’m sure everything’s looser now
time stamp?
@@chcklfckl 1:49:45
Why is no one talking about Murph's face when Emily put the Penelope monarchy thing together? That realization was gold
And the fact that she TOOK NOTES!? That was honestly impressive. It looks like some or all of the others did the same thing, but the fact that she was able to bring all of that back up. And Brennan’s face when they were putting stuff together. That was great.
@@kaitlynnc15 his face when they were talking about the bank and kalvaxis got me so good omg
Emily Axeford is an amazing player always.
That said, shoutout to Siobhan! KVX clue!!
Who’s Murph??
@@punningpasta4910 he plays Riz
You know what, I just realized the brutal irony of “Zelda” being trapped in what’s essentially a crystal prison.. Like this hasn’t already happened to tons of other Zeldas throughout the ages already dude.
E
Gorgug gettin out the ocarina for this one
Omg this made me remember Skyward Sword!! A Zelda game that has a Zelda literally trapped in crystal!
I love how half the swears aren't bleeped if Brennan says them.
I noticed that too?? Why?
@@sophliberty Cause Brennan is god
@@sophliberty DM privileges, I think! 😂
There are so many the bleeps can't keep up.
I wish they'd make the bleep sound less annoying, especially when everybody is swearing because they're freaking out.
"There's a war. Fuck school." We've gone from John Hughes to Red Dawn in the best way
E
Knowing that Brennan's greatest wish in the world is to be a dad, makes this so much more special. This comes from a place of reality.
He is gonna be an awesome dad.
With all the insight of the parents that he's role-playing, I am sure he will
thanks you just made me cry with your year old comment
I keep seeing this, where did he say that?
@@alejandrorivas4585 in the lie detector episode of game changer
"Yo-ho-ho! Accessing Porn-"
*Chaos immediately ensues*
God, is it just me, or is Brennan the best DM ever?
44:34
SHIVER ME TIMBERS
It ain't just you! This guy is AMAZING!
I came here from taz, which had set my standards vv high, and Brennan is fucking incredible
"Yarr harr harr! Suck the plank"
Detective gukgack is so done with riz being at crime scenes when she meets him just "god damnit"
I feel like Gilear is less a dad to Fig and more a project... or, like, an injured bird she brought home in a box.
This KILLED ME
Oh my god I laughed so loud
"I get worried that he's not eating when I'm not there"
Talking about your stepfather or a dying animal?
@@evildeathcuddles886 Or an ill parent, physically ill or mentally ill.
It may not be Fig's responsibility but we haven't seen anyone 100% on Gilear's side the entire time we have known him by this episode. Mrs. Gukgak is great but she is a busy lady and a single parent; I really doubt she can help Gilear as much as having Fig be so vocally supportive of him since Fig is his daughter.
I mean Gilear probably is dealing with severe depression. He's had his world rocked in a bad way. Fig is trying her best and so is Gilear, but sometimes kids take too much on when a parent is ill and maybe this is too much?
Gilear needs an adult support network outside of Fig and while I hope Mrs. Gukgak helps, he definitely needs more people on his team.
@@kraziiXIII He definitely needs professional help. He's a qualified, competent man who could be making enough money to live well if he could get his depression under control.
I absolutely loved when Riz had his moment with his mom like he's kind of shook and crying like "Mom, we're all badasses! I knew you and me were badasses, but dad was badass too!" This series would make such a good comic.
I would love to see this adapted to something!
@@TheRedOne11 If I ever (1) get good at drawing or (2) get rich, I would totally start adapting it. At least some of the really good parts (I still remember this scene a year later and it was so good lol it's all so good).
E
I love the way Gorgug, who's usually quiet and happy to go wherever somebody else decides, gets noticeably more talkative and insistent once Zelda's in trouble. Everyone else keeps getting pulled in other directions and following other threads and he just says "We gotta go do this now."
The fact I'm sitting in my bed laughing my ass off, picturing a tiny gnome explaining to his 14-year-old, half-orc, adopted, 6'4 son what docking is.
This show has made me laugh countless time but man this scene had my crying.
I was eating Cheetos and I spit them out onto my bed and started choking
Haven't gotten to this part yet, but I did spill my drink when I read your comment 😂😂😂
i was watching it last night at 2 in the morning and I had to shove my fist in my mouth to keep my self from waking my parents lmao
It makes even better when you remember it's his mom explaining it.
I am asexual, so I *never* wanted to know this dkkdmcmcmslxms God it's seared into my brain
This group could legitimately be called "Daddy Issues". We got

My dad died when I was nine, and I dream about a video message being left for me like that all the time. Thank you Brennan for giving me catharsis and crying my eyes out (in a good way). I can't remember the last time I've done that.
This is touching. reading your comment made me smile (:
Me too. If only my dad did leave a message like that, I would be able to know what he feels about me before leaving this world.

Zelda's family being Bacchantes is absolutely the best thing I have *ever* heard
i love your pfp😂
It’s fantastic
I literally heard “god of wine and ecstasy” and went “ *please* be what I’m hoping it is”
I was not disappointed at _all_
I know right that's some deep fucking nerd Lore xD
We're reading Βακχαι in school so I fucking lost it
As a drama kid from France, I had to study and play the Bacchantes for a semester and I absolutely flipped out when I got to that part of the episode
literally the way the party bullies people into doing what they want is to threaten them with mumple but also when they met the cubby’s they were like “mumple’s great!!”
In fairness, the Cubby’s are ride or die, and it’s not the party’s fault the people they fight want to be special.
… That, or Mumple has a _reputation_ that the party isn’t wholly aware of, having just run with everyone else’s reactions the whole time.
A threat is not what about what you believe, but what the victim believes. To many, the threat of having your head shaved means nothing, to those proud of their hair, it's damning.
@@keirgomcginlay2044 the biblical figure, Samson for sure quivers in his boots when he is around scissors lol
@@kraziiXIII Damn fine example.
@@alecLogan 9 months too late but I swear earlier on they say Mumple is for "ungifted" people or something similar with a kinda emphasis that it's not really the fault of most people there that are there. So maybe it's more of an unfortunate circumstance thing for peeps who aren't specifically kicked out of another school
Can we talk about how Zelda's family absolutely slaughtered the would-be kidnappers?
Yes, it was awesome
Honestly you’d think it would have happened before now
and they didn't lose the palymphsest
Every single player literally *became* their character and I literally am mesmerized. Riz looked like he was gonna cry when he saw his dad's message. Siobhan hates her sister so goddam much and her freaking family is so toxic and their interactions are so believable. Fig is freaking endearing and silly and Ally's Turner her character into a riot. Fabian is so funny and sarcastic and so honest. Gorgug is like so awkward and adorable.
E
Tbf improv and sketch comedy is all of their jobs.
The thistlesprings being incredibly and uncomfortably overzealous about sexuality and safe sex is so freaking adorable and it tracks with thier characters so well I love this story I think this is my 10th rewatch actually lol
I'm happy that Gorgug's parents are up to him dating a guy, that made me really happy
Gilear may be the funniest NPC I've ever seen. The soul crushing pause before he asked "Does it have to be true?" while he was doing affirmations had me on the floor wheezing. I'm so glad Emily takes every excuse to spend time with him
Oh man the Zelda and Gorgug rp is so good, I have such secondhand embarrassment from how awkward they are but they're also adorable.
Pretty typical of D&D that they forgot why they went to Fabian's dad's house in the first place.
it's not that thet forgot. They just got side tracked because Fabian's dad got upset and left which gave them no chance at that moment to ask him about the shipm
@@tenshix1747 personally in that moment I would have been going to see if bill was ok not Fabien
Now that I'm starting to notice the complex ties between the characters, their backstories and what's been happening since episode one, I'm complete flabbergasted by Brennan's ability to connect everything together in this detailed world of theirs. Honestly, this is so well done and I'm absolutely living for it.
Yeah, his plotting is crazy complex here.
Fig's dad and Johnny Spells.
Riz's dad and the Cerulean, and his babysitter missing.
Fabian's dad and KVX.
Adaine's sister and the Palimpsests.
Kristen's parents and the cult.
Gorgug and Zelda and the maiden thing.
This is the first dnd campaign to almost make me cry.
Brennan is an amazing dm and can make a story real for anyone. The video of riz’s dad made me almost cry.
Edit: correction first dnd campaign to make me cry
God damn it Brennan
the brand of putting "Fantasy" before a brand (eg Fantasy Google, Fantasy Costco, Fantasy seatbelts) is absolute GOLD and probably my favorite thing about shows like these
“Fantasy,” “Space,” and “Sci Fi,” are all valid prefixes
I know this video is old as hell now, but it absolutely never leaves my mind, Riz just going "Speaking of boning down, have you seen my mother lately?" and the immediate visceral shock that comes from Gilear interpreting that as Riz having an incestual relationship with his mother.
Gilear is just the best.
Nat 20 roll get's him a "I found mildew in my shoes"
"Do you know about the harpy?"
"A harpy is a partially nude bird woman"
WHAT
E
Jesus, when Brennan went "Yo ho ho, accessing porn" at 44:35 , I laughed so abruptly that I started choking on my tea and had to take a 10 minute break to ensure I won't die. Just, brilliant.
“Ooooh, shiver me timbers. Suck the plank!”
Riz is just passed out on the floor. Guess that at this party, he isn't having a *BALL*
Booo
Fabian how did you get on youtube
This episode actually made me MAD at how good Brennan is at worldbuilding. The cold pills? The ship? The bank? Every little detail that just seems like texture comes back four episodes later as a major plot point!
It's called conservation of narrative energy. Save so many details, use that as a ramp for more story. Amazing.
@@PanAndScanBuddy can you go a little more into that? Or do you know a video that does so? I think this is my method for dming but I’d like to be much better at it
Creating small details : what did the police find about sad cold kid’s death
Using such details as hints to later stages of the game makes it so it seems that there is a connection that you could as well never have thought of before as a dm at your last session.
That way nothing that seemed useful back when the kid died was taken from the story.
Honestly is a great continuity trick which requires mostly creativity and a flexible story line (multiple important characters)
A harder yet more appealing trick is while you narrate what happened to a certain unexplored area and/or in a private conversation you leave hints in your way you phrase it.
For example : if the team saw Riz mum pointing towards a certain landmark (that the team knows) instead of the police station while she talks to her partner in an angry way (while being in an crime scene) that hints something is in said landmark and they should check it out for a different path in their story/ shortcut to the next fight (pointing towards police could very well be that she talks about the file work after the investigation she just did)
@@redstonerg.8616 so in short, remembering all the small details that I’ll naturally leave during good roleplay (and intentionally leaving interesting details) so that I can bring it back whenever it seems fit? I’ll definitely try it out! The harder trick you suggested is something I do already, so I suppose I’m well set to pulling this off, thanks! :)
@@HannahAgra exactly ! you phrased it better all in all go get them !
When they went to Fabian’s computer and found porn, I love that one of the things Brennan says “Suck the plank”
1:34:10 "But Mom, we're all super badass. The whole family is super badass. At first I thought it was just, like, me and you were badass, but dad's a badass too. We're just, like, this trio of freakin' Goblin badasses, Mom."
I thought they were saying batshit for a whole fucking year
"I guess we have a two-bedroom" is such an underrated line, omg
The pirate porn moment was comedy gold
Nevermind, docking was funnier
51:17 Murph genuinely being struck silent in shock when Emily cracks that shit wide open using info from episode one made me lose it
I like to think that by now Scolonda is so fed up with finding Riz at every freaking crime scene in the city.
"private-tear me a new one" XD brilliant
I love how Fabian challenges Brennan's improv skills by asking the maid to make his favorite snack and he just answered back with, "Here's a can of sardines. You love sardines."
except that’s canon. fabian already mentioned his love of kippers
Aren't kippers herring tho?
@@roxythelipstickpixie72 Yeah probably, but the visual is the same.
@@NERFTommy99 True enough
I really appreciate Gorgug's parents for teaching him consent, communication, protection (and even docking!)
The line "I guess we have a two bedroom" at 1:36:35 cracked me up even though it was entirely overlooked, thanks Riz.
Thank you I totally missed that, 100% in character for Riz to say lmao
@yes It was established in the first episode that Riz sleeps in a curtained/semi-permanently walled off area in the living room. So Riz could have had his own room this whole time, but nah. His mom needed her whiskey/reminiscing room 😂
after thinking up all the non-playable characters with Brennan's face I can now say there is nothing odder than imagining his face on a teenage girl with goat legs
I hate you for putting that image in my head
He’s playing Zelda in the newest season where all the seven maidens are PCs! It’s gonna be hilarious.
kristen applebees gets better at inspiring speeches the crazier she gets
Why do I get a strong vibe that Siobhan has at least one sister who was/is their parents' favourite?
I've wondered as well; if not, probably draws inspiration from The Good Place, the character Tahani also is from a rich family and has a sister doted upon significantly more
Yoooo, I was about to say that ^
Oh wait that's me. My bad.
Yeah. Ever since the start it has begun to feel way too fucken real. Her reactions seem to be natural as hell.
At first with was just Ally with the religion thing in the first arc. But then the limelight shone on Siobhan and it just became more tangible.
@@iambuttdix9692 world's best comment chain
The buildup to Biz announcing that he had been putting the girls in the palimpsests the whole time is amazing. Brennan totally just rocked that. He is so amazing at building the tension, it’s insane
Ugh I would kill to be able to sit down with Brennan and just ask him which parts of this story were prepped and which were improvised because I CANNOT TELL AT ALL.
Like he's been cluing them in the direction of the bank for several sessions now but they haven't taken that bait...so has he just been improvising on all this shit?
Also, his ACTING holy shit, portraying all these different parents with their different voices and attitudes... this man is a treasure!
There's a few BTS videos floating around, but I think the rest is on Dropout!
This is a bit of both, but my jaw dropped when I found out: In an Adventuring Academy episode (with Lou as a guest), he revealed that the entire palimpsest subplot was written in after session zero. Murph wanted to be a teen detective, so Brennan gave him a mystery.
@@johnwetzel3392 Unbelievable. The absolute madman.
I remember Brennan saying that his player are a stream of water and he is carving a path for them. And it might twist and turn but it always goes down. You can imagine a lot of these plot points have already been setup, the improv is how the team gets to those plot points.
One great example I remember was the golem fight. There was multiple ways to beat it. The acid, the cliff, the pit fiend.
Brennan Lee Mulligan is my FAVORITE white boy ever
