Brennan: if the party will just calm down and ask this villain like one (1) question maybe they’ll finally start to understand the plot

The NPC that follows the party is secretly a shapeshifted dragon that is creating a nature documentary on adventurers.

Orrig tries tea.

This is a comic I made on a whim, inspired by some reader comments comparing Orrig and Uncle Iroh.

I’m actually glad we don’t live in an RPG world. We really take for granted being able to coexist with most animals. I don’t wanna have to pull out a longsword and beat the shit out of six crabs and two snails while a starfish snipes me with magic bullets every time I go to the beach.

I’ve been watching . . .

I feel in love with this series after being introduced to it via @toastyglow​ stream.  Feeling curious and a little bit burned out by Critical Role, I gave this series a try and I’ve binged all of their seasons and enjoying every second.

Not only are the players improv actors who play their characters so well, but the DM, Brennan is an excellent story teller, knows the game very well, and isn’t afraid to raise the stakes for the players. 

Usually, we get an RPing episode where the characters interact with the world, learn new information from NPCs, or perform investigations.  Most of it is then just simply Roleplaying as the story unfolds, adding background and flavor to their characters.  Then we get a combat episode where the characters are in open combat with initiative order, health bars, and awesome sets with minis.   

What I absolutely love most about Dimension 20 is that it’s not your run of the mill D&D 5e campaign.  Each season, takes the game and puts a different spin on the world so it’s not your typical Medieval Fantasy setting.  Also, each campaign lasts 6 to 18 episodes of complete stories who it’s not a HUGE investment of time to enjoy a season.  Each season is it’s own story, cast of characters, and setting, so you can pick a season and enjoy! 

The first season puts the characters in highschool with a 80′s to 90′s flavor.  The characters enrolled in an adventuring academy complete with dwarves, elves, and other creatures that could be found in the D&D books.  Each of the characters start out as archetypal teenagers in high school from the jock, the bad girl, the smart girl, and the religious girl, but each have their own background and development.  

The party (dubbed The Bad Kids) catch wind of girls disappearing from their school and take on a quest to find the missing girls and solve the mystery of who is behind the strange happenings around the school.  

This campaign (or six episode Side Quest) does take place in a Medieval Fantasy setting, but instead of the players being a group of heroes, they are playing villains!  And not just any villains, but the lieutenants of an evil lord set to take over the world …that is until a couple of halflings tosses his crown into a volcano and destroys him.  Now the players must scramble to figure out what to do next!

Yep, it’s a parody of Lord of the Rings, a sort of what if scenario from the viewpoint of the villains who gearing up to destroy the forces of good until something unforeseen happens.  Best of all, Matt Mercer is a guest player!

The characters are all fun versions of villains from the monster master, the traitorous prince, the evil lord’s paramour, and the wraithlike knight who overcome their differences to protect their evil lands.  

This one was fun.  Taking place in New York City, there’s secret magical world that normal people can’t see.  Like Harry Potter with Muggles and Wizards or Nevermore.  The players take on a group of New Yorkers: a fairy broadway singer, a depressed alcoholic hair stylist, a drug dealing sorcerer, a Paladin firefighter, a hospital nurse who is a cleric, and a sewer rat.  All of then band together to protect New York City from those who would abuse the magical world for their own ends.  

Another short campaign.  If the Borrowers meet Ocean 11, then you would get Tiny Heist.  A group of little ‘people’ (fairies, lost toys, and sentient bugs), team up to form a heist to steal the priceless roll of quarters from the leader of a criminal organization.  However, they discover darker things are afoot.

It’s a different type of campaign where the focus isn’t so much on open combat, but trying to work together to steal information, move people and tools into place while keeping the target distracted.  The sets are so creative using household items and toys giving a wonderful immersion with the minis.    

The latest, and has possible become my favorite, is Crown of Candy.  Think Candy Land meets Game of Thrones.  

The players take on the roles of a royal family of a candy theme kingdom in the most creative alternate world I have ever seen for a D&D campaign.  Like GoT, there’s factions (fruit, veggies, dairy, and meat people) and the Candy Royal family is getting swept up into power struggle when the Emperor becomes ill.

naddpod finale quotes 🥺

“They’re all saying different versions of the same thing. You hear old people, young people, children- […] You realize that these are prayers: about you… or to you, by people around Bahumia.”

“Here, you, having a piece of this divine heart, are able to hear the people around Bahumia and their faith in you.”

“Do you guys think the gods were scared, when people looked to them?” “If they weren’t, then they weren’t doing it right.”

“It is not part of the cave at all. It is an endless sea of stars. Dark space, bright stars, is this a pocket plane? Is it heaven? Or is it just how the gods see us, as distant speaks of dust?”

“You would take me to the site of his murder? Where you broke the foundation of light that made me who I am? Fine, take us. Show me what you did.”

“Do you think Pelor’s hands were clean?” “Of course not. You don’t get to this council with clean hands. I know that. I may be young but I know that.”

“We’ve done a lot of unclean things, but the divinity in us was gifted to us, so there is another way to get a divine heart.” “There is another way to get 1/9th of a divine heart, maybe.” “Isn’t that enough?” “Seems like plenty to us.”

“But I’ll tell you what I want, what I want? Is not that, what I want is a fucking garden overgrown, I want to see what nature has to offer and let it run free.”

“I think the real difference is, is you think this is your story and we think this is our story- not ‘our’ as in the five of us- yes I’m including Pawpaw- but ‘our’ as in everyone’s story. It’s not one gardener, it’s a bunch of fucking gardeners.”

“There’s highs and there’s lows and that’s what makes life worth living, that’s what makes it good. I’m glad you were happy, once. But your problem is that you don’t know how to let go.”

“So the wheel of suffering continues-” “So does the wheel of joy.”

“You have regrets in these final moments. You regret that you’ll never get to know your son. But moreso, you regret that he won’t remember you, and you know that makes you a bad person.”

“She’s no longer a devil, she looks like Marabelle again, and she’s sad.”

“Why do you do this? You do this to… defend? the wicked? Why do you want to die?” “Why do I want to die? I wanna live. You’re taking the freedom of life away from people, you understand that. You’re not giving anyone anything.”

“I’ve got him. Nobody’s gonna die. […] Scoutmaster Moonshine, I’m the healer.”

“Everything’s fine just the way it is. And by fine, I mean extremely messed up and bad, but we’re gonna do the work to make it better, and we don’t need you here for that. So you can go wherever it is that old gods go when they die and aren’t needed.”

“Not only is Melora’s divine heart restored, it’s strengthened, it has not been in one piece since Melora and Telaine split it, long long ago. You have quite literally left the world a better place than you found it.”

“It’s okay Balnor. Like all the most powerful things in this world, I knew I was only borrowing you.”

“Drawing that card was the only time I’ve ever been lucky.”

“You’re Hardwon Surefoot. You’re yourself.”

“I hope you all get to leave this world with the same comfort that I had- knowing that it’s in good hands. I love you. Your knight, Balnor.”
