D&D Chaos 1 | Brennan Lee Mulligan Aabria Iyengar Mica Burton Becca Scott Danny Quach Game 1 

If i had a penny for every time Aabria has run a TTRPG game for Brennan in a magical school where he plays a dark wizard with an unpronounceable name, I'd have two pennies which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

The content warnings for this are so fucking funny because you read the 'suicide' 'self-harm' 'body horror' mixed with the 'sexual themes' 'comedic death' and you're like 'what the fuck is going on here' and then its just mehermblur running headfirst into the nearest opportunity for death as fast as his little undead legs can carry him while everyone else is too busy being horny in the bg to get anything done efficiently

I love how Brennan throws out like five options for Abraham Mehermblur's title and when Aabria calls out "citizen doctor" and laughs at it, he locks in

Muhurmblur actively seeking death making all the enemies super uncomfortable is probably the biggest DnD power move I’ve ever seen.

The most realistic/relatable part of this is when they spent a good 5 minutes agonizing over the best way to phrase an email to their professor only to immediately get a casual two-word, information-free phatic response.

I love that Brennan's character voice for this is just undead Gilear Faeth.

While I completely love their group name, i feel like "dead hot chili feathers" was a missed oportunity (?

"Just because it feels good doesn't mean it's sex" - Undead scientist man

Bro, Brennan singing the Digimon theme is something I wasn't aware I needed lmao

Love that Brennan's half-dead old man warlock character is only 34 🤣

"There is only one bear in this campus" Aabria, you can't go promising a Daddy ending when there's only one bear in campus.

Brennen so firmly embodies, "There is no vanity in comedy" I just love how he is never afraid to be weird or gross or look insane.

And here I thought Brennan could never come up with another name as funny as "Kelmp"

There is no more relatable DM move then screaming, "everyone Shut up! I'm trying to start the game!," at the party

"I promise to kill you later." "You're a good friend" This is too good

I like the fact that brennan's character in this somehow has a lower AC than Gilear does in fantasy high lmao just shows how badly he wants to die.

So if Abraham's life flashes before his eyes every time he dies, wouldn't that mean his previous deaths flash before his eyes too? If so, do those previous flashes also flash before his eyes? If so, then he's fucking right about being reborn bringing knowledge and enlightenment. Every time he dies, the amount of lifetimes he's lived grows exponentially. After dying 10 times, he'll have lived 65 full life times.

"The potato was inside you the whole time." - Brennan Lee Mulligan As a Ukrainian, I felt that.

"If I can be my own patron, you can be your own union" I don't know why, but that made me laugh way too much. Also - absolutely the energy I need for 2023.

I need Brennan to be a player more, dear God please, I love how all out he goes on his characters

“Are you a secret dragon” is the new “when I was backpacking across Western Europe”

"You can tell meee, I'm also a dragon~" I'm dead.

This was the most realistic beginning of a dnd session I've ever seen. 6 minutes of straight chaotic bullshit that delighted me to the very core. VERY excited about this group- and this game!!!

As I watch more and more campaign videos with Brennan and Aabria, I am finding that regardless of who else is at the table, if those 2 are together, everything from start to finish is just going to be glorious chaos

More real play shows need to take a cue from Carlos editing wise. This was like we skipped the original ep and went straight to the "D&D Strixhaven being chaotic for two hours and fifty-three minutes" fan video, and I'm so here for that. I genuinely would love to see a whole season of this

So my friends and I are playing in Strixhaven and our DM added Abraham and Paddles to the npc casting. Abraham is one of the professors and there’s another who’s a reaper and also a professor. every time Abraham dies the other professor runs out of his class with his scythe and then comes back a few seconds later despondent when Abraham is successfully revived. It’s pretty great!

Brennan continuing his tradition of naming his character to make Aabria, specifically, lose her shit

Aabria always seems so well put together in the games she DMs. Watching her and the PCs be unhinged and feral is kinda nice. It gives me hope for myself and my players

Abraham sure is the healthiest boy hp-wise for the man who is consistently the Most Not Okay

as a grown man who went through continuing ed at a big ten uni, I love the old weird guy representation of Abraham; we love you my old weird virgin, way to lift up the little guys and advocate for unionization rights!

Also, it kills me that 4/6 content warnings in the intro are DEFINITELY because of Brennan's character.

Aabria just casting Polymorph irl to become Lou Wilson for like 20 minutes as Tulk is incredible. I loved these Strixhaven games, amazing crew and cast and amazing job on the edit Carlos!

The little drawing of Aabria after introductions is amazing.

Why is it when Brennan makes a character in an Aabria game, he always has a mouthful of a surname? First it's Kelmp, now it's Mehermblur?!

" Nope I would rather die" that had me laughing my ass off.

I never knew how much I needed Brennan and Mica in a game together.

As soon as Brennan mentioned Digimon, I was disappointed that Karina from Drawfee wasn't present because she would be hype as hell that he'd brought it up

Imagine Abraham meeting Laudna... the creepy hilarious possibilities 🤣 😆 😂

Never has a face been more relatable than the fraction of a second we see Brendan's face (a loooong term DM) being able to ask another DM "what's your name" to a rando NPC.

Brennan, you cant just play Arthur Augefort as a character, he's...

Brennan has an amazing ability to craft characters that are fun to watch, must be fun to play, is completely capable of carrying the game but bows out to either do something awesome for another player or to kill the audience with his in character jokes. I legitimately almost fell out of my chair when Abraham said very sweet and quietly please kill me

Aabria's imp voice is top notch! And I love the root vegetable detect magic scrying.

Brennan as a player is always a rare and tasty treat, but man, what a table.

“I don’t know if I would call you a virgin after what’s happened here right before my very eyes.” Well there is a reason the French call it la petite mort.

This is the greatest first 6 minutes of a D&D livestream ever.

The return of awful last names in Brennan’s characters, we had kelmp, now welcome mehermbler

love that Brennan is trying to find a true dragon while in an illusion which is pointless as dragons have true sight and see through illusions

I think this is the most chaotic actual play table I've ever seen, and I'm only 5 minutes in. *I love it*

I love how they are suspected of setting the cafe on fire and they start the combat against the Mage hunters by flinging fire spells

Brennan literally steals the show of every game he's in! How is he so insanely funny?

I love when Brennan plays in a game ... things go off the rails pretty quickly, generally even before the game starts.

The VERY last second, they caught him. GUILTY! "Brennan's eating! Brennan's eating brennan's eating Brennan's eating!"

I'm gonna make Citizen Doctor Murhermblur a NPC in my Strixhaven campaign.

This! This here, is peak dnd content. Clearly a cast that NEEDS more episodes

Given the amount of stuff they let fly, I am DYING to know what they had to censor.

love that they gave aabria character art too

Wait what did Aabria actually say under those bleeps I need to know 😂😂

I stand with Brennan and the dozen or so others who still love and remember Digimon 😂

I absolutely NEED Aabria and Brennan to be at a table together always

Becca's yelp as those MtG cards went flying through the air. My only thought was "I sure hope those were all commons"

Not gonna lie I had no intention of watching this in its entirety, but I am five minutes in and I can’t imagine not finishing this chaotic mess right now.

No one gonna talk about the absolute CHAOS of Brennan just throwing out a Junji Ito reference in the end without knowing what it is??? Also RIP Becca and Mica for peering into the abyss PSA: The Spiral, or Uzumaki is a Japanese horror comic by Junji Ito (who is kinda known for the genre) that is REALLY popular for crazies into that stuff (it’s me. I’m crazies)

I love when Aabria makes the PCs make trades for things that would otherwise be impossible. Beastbond would never work, they're not even beasts... But then she ignores that, focuses on the INT, and then creates this INCREDIBLE moment... for [rules lawyers] like me, it really pushes me to grow as a player & DM... LOVE IT

I’m glad that Brennan gets more opportunities to be a player nowadays

"Stage fright is the mind killer" - Becca Scott

This feels like Arthur Aegfort the early years

Brennan may be Mr. Bird Facts, but Aabria is Queen of Pi

“I’m not hitting on you I’m an old virgin.” I don’t know what that means but it sure worked.

I'm loving Mica and oh my gosh I didn't realize how much I missed Aabria's DMing since ExU!!

Man, every time you put GMs into a game, they blow the doors off.

Youthful students and their Citizen Doctor friend taking a sabbatical at Strixhaven.

This was all very good, but honestly the unison yell of "NO ONE KNOWS DIGIMON!!" really set the tone early on.

Lmao "are you a secret dragon" really felt like "are you secretly in drag" 😂😂 I loved that "Please come help... Senbarca" glad that didn't get misconstrued lmfao

I will never forgive Brennan for not saying “hoo-la-la”

"EVERYONE SHUTUP I'M TRYING TO START THE GAME!" never have I felt such a connection with a quote.

The "Guilty" on Brennan at the very very very end made me cry laughing

Jesus christ Brennan really started singing the Digimon theme, he could not be more my brand gimme gimme gimme

Brennen embodies chaotic neutral to his very core in EVERY character he plays and its beautiful

After this and Misfits, I can’t wait for a game when things are reversed and Aabria gets to PC in one of Brennan’s games

I’m 100% putting in Abraham as one of my NPC teachers for the Strixhaven campaign I’m going to run

And this is why I like Aabria so much as a DM, she uses the rules to tell the narrative instead of forcing the narrative into the DnD ruleset. If the DnD Rules doesn't facilitate the narrative, she kicks it to the curve. She puts narrative and collaborating story first and rules second and that's the DM style I love. Great session today.

Brendan has a gift of horrible names for his personal characters

I love Brennan so much. He is the kind of player and GM that I resonate with. Aabria is also way up there. She is a true fan of the malleable Storyteller.

The intro to this game is some crazy energy… i was not prepared nor aware of how much I needed Booger Lee Mulligan singing the digimon theme song in baritone

Why is brennen holding that pencil like if all 5 finger tips aren't touching it its going to fly away? Also I love all of this.

Everyone other than Brennan: "No one knows Digimon." Me: "I know Digimon"

Honestly love how "innocent" they are at the beginning during the announcement of the fundraiser "pointing to heaven" .."is that were heaven is"

The last second of this video is everything.

Shout out the editors cause they were having some fun with this one

"No one doesn't not do magic all the time.." Thank you for this quote, Aabria! I know I'm overjoyed to live in a world where 'no one doesn't not' play d&d all the time :)

I need to know what got bleeped twice that Mica then said "honestly that's my favorite kind of daddy."

2:40:40 and onward gives me absolute chills Aabria's storytelling style is so well honed and her focus on creating atmosphere is intensely moving. I love when DM's can do good voices and make clever puzzles, but there is something separate and glorious in being able to cut to the heart of your PCs and make the moment land. Her word choice and honor to the narrative is something I deeply admire as a budding DM. Aabria has a direct line to both my tear ducts and deepest belly laughs. Thank you for making this and major props to the editing and sound design. I mean this with the utmost respect: I'm lifting some of this for my own future Strixhaven game.

Abraham is just a reincarnation of Arthur Aegfort and no one can tell me otherwise!

I love Brennan. Only the mind that brought us Evan Kelmp could create something as diabolically named as Abraham Merhermblur

The way Becca’s necklace is jammed into her mic clip is giving me such theatrical costume designer panic like that cannot have been the best solution to avoid clunky necklace noise.

I love that Brennan just goes full crazy person

My hero, Brennan Lee Mulligan, missed the joke: "As the Owlin say, Hoo la la!"

It's a beautiful thing, watching Aabria Iyengar tell a story. Damn

God damn it... just when I thought Evan Kelmp was my favorite character, Brennan brings out another weird and amazing creation. How the hell does he do that?!
