"Oooh did he? Did he? Does he have a house? He left? He moved out? His old house, with a dinner table, that we will go an eat, and we will have a tea party, with him, lil, little tiny fish, plates, but they don't have anything on the bottom cuz they're under wataaa. Is that how we're going to do? And then I will be, sleeping on the battlefield tomorrow is like 'is ok, I had tea with a fish, so is ok, it doesn't matter that I didn't sleep.' Is this what we doing? Huh? A fish we just met, a couple a days ago? We don't wanna go back home? We just want to drink, tea, with a fish, after he escaped death, already, from vodka, but tea, tea is ok for the fish. Not vodka but teaa. That is what we are doing? Huaah?"

As a kid that grew up in an Afro-Latino household the teaparty-sleep party convo had me in tears from laughing so hard. That man channeled all dads of color. Every single one.
I love how Nikhil is like an actual rude guy, a nice guy, and then also a really stupid guy who doesn't know things and GOD just the way Brennan portrays him makes me laugh so hard like Nikhil being like "Oh, well sorry I'm not a SCIENTIST!" & whatnot whenever he doesn't know some basic thing will never get old to me bc he has yet to put together that he's kinda dumb or he knows he is but realllllly doesn't wanna admit it
I love that it's both. He somehow has almost no awareness of anything, but is also totally aware that others look down on him for his ignorance, and is ready to tell them that ACTUALLY they're the idiots. It's such a perfect mixture of brash ignorance and deep seated insecurity, and somehow Brennen's performance never makes it feel stale. So good. Such a weirdly likeable jerk.
Ekon's pained dad energy reminds me of sleeping over at my friend's house when I was a kid. His dad sounded exactly like that when he would get annoyed with us, right down to the accent. "Tomorrow, tomorrow I would love a tea party, right now I want to have a SLEEP party!" is exactly the kind of thing he would say.
"I have built this character in such a way that I'm about to kick my own ass," Brennan Lee Mulligan living the absolute minmaxer dream. Love this series! Also love Iyengar & Mulligan, attorneys at law
As a person who's been watching D&D shows since campaign 1 of critical role, this game is maybe my favorite game I've ever seen. The chemistry between all the cast members as well as Jasmine is just electric. The set, the music, the whole production is just awesome. Hands down an incredible show.
Absolutely agree. The cast, the production value, the story, the encounter-design, the chemistry in every single scene. this show is amazing. also love the tight pacing. Such a great. product.
1:12:22 For those who don't actually know, in the Dimension 20 Campaign 'The Seven', Aabriya's Character almost got stabbed in the back and took a ton of damage, but she had the Alert feat and managed to avoid getting hit.
She still was hit but, her attacker wasn’t able to apply sneak attack damage. So what was originally enough damage to knock her to zero instead she was able to stay up.
5:29 Nikhil (Brennan) and Leila (Erika) scene begins 7:13 Nikhil (Brennan) makes an Insight check on Leila (Erika) 11:18 Leila (Erika) asks Nikhil (Brennan) to list the name of the gods 13:19 Nikhil (Brennan) asks Leila (Erika) what is his problem? 14:04 Leila (Erika) kisses Nikhil (Brennan) 20:57 Brennan and Erika - Snitching 35:51 Back to Leila (Erika) and Nikhil (Brennan) kissing 40:44 Sestia (Aabria) snitches about the kiss 41:31 Sleep Deprived Ekon (Iffy) BEGINS 42:55 Sleep deprivation Ekon (Iffy) first rant 46:20 "You weren't trying to get a goodnight sleep 👀" 46:51 Back at it again Sleep deprivation 59:15 Ekon (Iffy) "I will put you to sleep like I wish I was!" 1:41:09 "This fish has interrupted my sleep, so I will interrupt its life." 1:48:56 "This could have been a morning fight." 1:50:51 "Feel the pain!" 1:51:17 "Iyengar & Mulligan" 1:52:42 "Hey Polodio! I lied, I killed your ass on purpose." Just moments i had to list because they had me laughing so hard 😂
If you assumed that we were just going to pull up for all the Dimension 20 regular players and then fall in love with the rest of the cast, then you were 1000% correct. Jasmine, Josephine, and Emma are fantastic.
Oh, man the personal growth that Nikhil and Leila have, passing through the mirror like it’s nothing and then to have Sestia fail so badly and we see the real threat the others escaped.. This is by far the best episode so far. I wish it were twice as long.
You know you're incredible when your rant is so funny, you see your fellow players, some who are professional actors, not be able to stay in character because they laugh so hard. You see Erika and JCVIM try a few times to stay in character during the rant but the rant force was too strong. Ify, you are a legend lol.
Not going to lie, when I started watching this show I thought it was going to be a campy fun show, while still a lot of fun to watch, this episode took it in a direction I was not expecting and I am really enjoying it. Jasmine is a great story teller and the players are amazing, you really should get more stories with this cast and crew.
Emma Fyffe mesmerizes me with the wide range of expressions that fall on her face while listening to and watching the others tell their stories. What a gem!
Leila is the one who canonically has memory loss, but Nikhil forgetting (???) that Leila's from the same place as him makes me wonder if something happened to him, too 😂
Maybe it's not memory loss. Maybe it's a sort of erasure or veiling of a fact from the world, voidfish style, and the only reason that the genasi remembered is because it was so traumatic for him. (I don't give that theory a huge percentage, and also I'm only halfway through, but I figured it was worth mentioning since you broached it!)
@@guiltriple I think it's just part of Brennan's performance, but this could be a legit theory, like the amount of manipulation at hand by the beings running this setting must be vast, and it's possible one of the ways they keep "natives" from bucking the system is just messing with their heads constantly. It could be Nikhil got an extra dose because otherwise he'd have made something of himself a long time ago. You gotta be careful of people with that much charisma, they give other people ideas. (But if they can barely hold a thought in their head beyond sex and making gains, not so much)
@@guiltriple I had the same idea at some point but I just couldn't figure out some of the other things to make that theory work, not saying it cant necessarily just that its not adding up to me
I feel like Ify woke up his grandpa or someone a few times as a kid and just channeled that "angry old person who has been awoken" energy so freaking hard.
I love Brennan's little chats to the people around him constantly. Group 2 of Trees Nuts just seem like they are having as fun of a time increasing the boundaries of the world as they possibly can and they also seem like they (as people) are just y'know having fun! Its so cool to watch XD
First Evan Kelmp and Dream in Misfits and Magic and now this. Not sure if the 2 of them can be PCs in the same campaign and not have an awkward romance.
Jasmine is an amazing DM! This group is so fast and talented and off-the-wall (in the best possible way!) and she's always there with the perfect mix of letting it happen, yes-anding it, and still weaving in a storyline.
It's absolutely insane how talented this cast is. Each episode has multiple highs and lows, it's like a rollercoaster. Brennan has you laughing I'm the beginning, worried with him in the middle, feeling old he's making some progress as a person, and then back to laughing at him during the ending. Each character has a similar arc in this episode. The antagonist this time is completely unexpected and now I'm just ready to know how that cliffhanger during the battle ends.
Loved Jasmine and Aabria having a moment while Brennan realised he doesn't have the Alert feat ;) Such a great, compelling story, I loved every second of it, the worldbuilding of this mini-series is phenomenal.
This was a WILD ride. From Layla failing so hard at kissing, to poor Ekon just wanting his dang sleep. And then that Sestia cliffhanger! I can't take it! AGH!
Much as I am enjoying this series I really wish the audio was better, even with my speakers maxed out I'm still missing a reasonable bit of dialogue because it's just too quiet to hear. But otherwise loving all the characters and the storyline is real interesting, especially for just a battle royale set up
_So_ glad I'm not the only one. There were parts I rewatched tre-four times without understanding what was said, before giving up and just hoping to understand by context. I always have subtitles as I'm hard of hearing and not native english speaker, but the auto-generated ones seemed even more confused than I was. Still loved this episode!
You're not wrong at all! That audio mix slipping through is totally on us! We're working on professional captions for the series, and making sure Ep 6 is a perfect as we can get it.
I am NOT going to cope with this series ending. I need SO MUCH MORE from this table, Jasmine is amazing, all these players are a delight together, IT CANNOT BE NEARLY OVER WHYYYYY
1:10:45 Jasmine: “Do not despair, my comrades-in-arms; you’ve all just hit Level 7.” That’s the D&D equivalent of Voight in _Deliverance_ hearing he’s ‘got a purdy mouth.’
This is the stuff I live for: members coming together, wee bits of backstory and character growth, and a DM who is openly honest about how much she wants to screw over her players in the right way 😂😂😂
I had never heared of this dm and only got into this campaign because of the players that I knew from D20 on Dropout. But I love how Jasmine is running the show, ill need to catch up on her work
The fact that this masterpiece of a series has so little views, even with so many great and popular names, is a travesty. This whole series is some of the best DnD I've watched.
Not going to lie, I wasn't a massive fan of Aabria when I first saw her during Misfits & Magic, however she really won me over during The Seven, Exandria Unlimited, and now this.
This series is absolutely perfect! That whole episode was an intense rollercoaster of emotions! The only thing I would change is if we could see the same battle map the players do. I’d love to know where they are in relation to the enemies they face.
Fantastic games so far. Only bad thing is the sound. The levels goes from i cannot hear to earshattering. This could use someone loolong at it! Otherwise some of the better production i have seen!
absolutely sublime d and d from all involved, loving this. the DM ing and character roleplaying is superb. thank you to all of you for putting this out there for us all. Jasmine, you are truly a wonderful DM
This doesn't have nearly the amount of likes it should! This show is pure gold, the did really get a a cast where every single person is a blast to watch!
This series is great! But could you pretty pretty please not blast the music so loud that some of us can't hear what the person talking is saying? You haven't added subtitles, so it's hard to actually hear what is happening.
