Props to Brennan Lee Mulligan for making Sam and Frodo lesbians.

Just spent the past some amount of hours putting all dimension 20 episodes (only including episodes where they are actively playing DnD) into an alphabetical list for the worst d20 watching experience possible!!!!

It starts with the first episode of acofaf and ends with the last episode of acofaf so maybe it's just the worst way to watch acofaf.

every day i wake up and watch my emotional support millennials play insanely intricate dnd campaigns for hours on end and i am not ashamed of that

Day 11 - Efink and Lilith from Escape from the Bloodkeep

My favorite pair of besties in the D20 universe!

Like every other eftbk fan rn I am going to recommend it to everyone into mentopolis!!! Lord of the rings workplace parody about the villain’s high ranking advisors after the villain dies. They’re all freaks. Mike Trapp is there! He’s absolutely fucking hilarious and plays a freaky guy with a freaky creature unbeknownst. Matt Mercer spends an entire fight scene trying to kill a hafling with a frying pan. He is so pathetic and I am obsessed with him. He has a pirate bf and I personally have a giant crush on Ify so reason enough. Matt Mercer co parents a demon baby with his rival turned bestie who is so girlboss and has a giant hammer. There a wet elf and an even wetter elf and a spider mom who just wants her kids to be happy.Found family. Freakazoids. Absolute losers.

Bonus:

Say hi, _____!

another beautiful day at the d20 dog park

I'm pretty sure Escape From the Bloodkeep was the first Dimension 20 series I ever watched.. Thanks for being my gateway into this madness! 💙

Huevember day 12

dimension 20 really says "having people to care for and having them care for you in return is more valuable than anything" almost every season huh

like every single quote/moment that makes me tear up has to do with how much someone cares for someone else

I'm watching the behind the scenes for Escape from the Bloodkeep and learning that a) this campaign took place in a single weekend so there was VERY little prep time between sessions, and b) the final battle was supposed to be PVP and the players derailed that out of nowhere at the very last second by taking a third option and forced Brennan to come up with an alternate scenario on an extremely short timeframe is VERY funny

tag this with your ideal d20 sidequest cast. personally it's zac oyama, lou wilson, izzy roland, ify nwadiwe, jake hurwitz, and becca scott

anyway i rewatched bloodkeep again and im thinking about them (the platonic co-parents of darkness)

😈 kofi link in bio if you’re feeling generous 😈

Until we meet again.

i have a funny not serious theory based on @chronicallyaddled 's recent post about the seat directly to the right of Brennan in Dimension 20.

i think brennan puts his favourite player/pc in that seat every season (or at least the one he thinks he can have the most fun with)

Fantasy High: Murph/Riz - the PC that drives the mystery forward, also one of the most experienced and least unhinged players at the table

EFTBK: Ify/Markus - honestly the only chill point in that entire campaign, a reliable player because he'll always act in his own self interest, very useful as a DM to have

TUC: Ally/Pete - Vox Phantasma, kinda the catalyst for anything happening in this campaign, a perfect fallback PC if something needs to Happen

ACOC: Zac/Lapin/Cumulous - religious bastard or monk, either way very objective in a high-emotions season, semi-removed from the family at all times and able to steer the party in a smarter direction

The Seven: Izzy/Ostentatia - chaos incarnate, not scared of breaking the rules, great for a season with lots of new/inexperienced players

ASO : Murph/Barry - similar to Riz, also a fairly straightforward PC and a player who is reliably less chaotic

Neverafter: Emily/Ylfa - a cornerstone fairytale pc, the perfect hero?/villain? character, very in the theme of the season, a reliable and skilled player who can be either funny or heartbreaking (perfect for the horror season on a comedy show)

DaDQ: Jujubee/Twyla - in a cast of inexperienced players, jujubee consistently brings the chaos necessary for D20. she's the perfect player for chaotic goofs in that season

Mentopolis: Hank/the Fix - 100% will match Brennan's energy every step of the way, will also likely bring conflict bc of that

i’m so glad everyone is insane about hunch curio because it means i get to plug BLOODKEEP!!!

if you or your loved ones are fans of michael trapp in the dome, you should try watching ESCAPE FROM THE BLOODKEEP!!

the first sidequest d20 ever produced, ESCAPE FROM THE BLOODKEEP features a plethora of incredible improv comedians you know and love! (erika ishii and rekha shankar from the seven, ify nwadiwe from shriek week, mike trapp from mentopolis, matthew mercer of critical role fame, and amy vorpahl from breaking news) this lord of the rings parody will keep you DOUBLED OVER with laughter.

if you’re a fan of the oops! all villains, accidental found family, and cringefail sadguy tropes, you’ll love ESCAPE FROM THE BLOODKEEP!

don’t have dropout?? no problem!! all six episodes of ESCAPE FROM THE BLOODKEEP are free on youtube! here’s the playlist!! go! right now!!

(okay but in all seriousness, i love bloodkeep with all my heart, and it’s criminally underrated! especially since it has a similar energy to mentopolis, now feels like the perfect time to plug it! if you haven’t already, you should definitely give it a try!!!)
