Dimension 20: Fantasy High | Boys Night | Brennan Lee Mulligan Lou Wilson Brian Murphy Zac Oyama 

Sometimes I forget that while the girls are "The Saint of all Unknown", "the Archdevil of the 2nd Hell" and the "Rogue Oracle of Elvenkind" the boys are just The Boys

The funniest thing about Digby suggesting a boys' and dads' night is 2 of the 3 boys' fathers are dead, and the father figures that are in their lives now are fig's dads

So funny to me that an interaction that started with the boys kidnapping gilear ended with the boys all saying “thanks, gilear” as they waved bye to him 😭😭

imagine you're jawbone and you get this text: "dear jawbone. i'm fine. also, i'm sick to my stomach from eating piping hot cantaloupe. please don't follow up with me, i can't make it to the campfire tonight. uh, sincerely, uh. Also i have another statement i want to make. um, okay. something else. i want to say that when you reach out to me, it always makes me feel good about myself. please keep doing it, i. Um, also, i won't be able to bring the liquor you asked for. uh, so. uh, delete that part. no, delete that part. no, don't type what i'm saying, delete the last part. the speech-to-text keeps- boys, the speech-to-text keeps going and it keeps saying what i'm saying and not following the commands. boys? don't say boys? i've already said boys and we're back to square one with the problem of the speech-to-text. i'm worried that if i say"

i love how this establishes that Hallariel is also a trainwreck, like her trying to cook a cantaloupe like popcorn....of course she fell in love with gilear,,,,,her and gilear are a match made in heaven and i love it

Imagining suddenly getting a text from your ex-wife’s current boyfriend to pick up HARD liquor and then suddenly being jumped by your stepson (and daughter’s) closest friends is WILD and had me crying laughing

Why is nobody talking about how their backgrounds vibe so well with each of their characters. Murph has a very professional slightly noir aesthetic, Lou has a very tidy pristine look, and Zac just has a cozy homey feel

the "are you hurt?" "no are you hurt" bit was funny until I realized that all of them regularly almost die and one of them has actually died

it’s so endearing to me that Aelwyn, Ragh and Zayn are buddies. Just the reformed villains squad supporting each other

I'm just now realizing Fabian has a horrendous record of climbing out of moving vehicles.

The way the three of them are completely struggling to be Normal people in the beginning of this is so funny to me. Fig took the social skills and Adaine took the braincells so the best they could come up with was Panic and/or Throw Rocks

the mental image of gilear spilling agave on his clothes and then a bunch of ants stealing his clothes broke me

One "hey" suddenly spirals into 3 teens combined PTSD of he said hey he must be in danger. I love it

riz not knowing what to do with himself when his life isnt pure fucking chaos is just so fitting.

Riz immediately asking if something is wrong at the most innocuous greeting text is a big anxiety mood

Brennan: "You'll remember him as the drow kid who yelled 'Police state!' during freshman year." Players: *Do not remember him* Me, who has relistened to "The Pixie and the Palimpsest" many times: "Hell yeah! I love that kid!"

the second hand embarresment i felt while hearing fabian shout ''THE BAD BOYS ARE HERE'' is immesurable

Ok but "what's wrong? What's happening? Oh you wanna hang out......wanna go throw rock in the river?" Is such a Highschool experience

I love the moments in FH when silver-spoon Fabian is overcome with almost existential unease: "Ohhh, I saw a greasy pelican on a lamppost nowhere near water..."

god, the ENERGY of dnd adventure's truggling to have fun is just electric, it's not like their character's are boring or aren't friends, they've always so focused on life and death situations that they've never had to figure out if they have chemistry or not. Stellar.

I live that Jawbone is offering them 1/6 of a beer when they all did hard drugs while they were on leviathan.

Cant wait for the all dad one shot. gilear, digbee, Jawbone,

The funniest thing about them abducting Gilear for liquor is that he probably would have just given it to them if they had asked (maybe a lil forcefully)

The Hangman: "Tonight is the night GILEAR FAETH DIES!" Everyone: "Nononono"

Lou knowing Bim is a lvl 20 and that it's a tpk if they get caught is hilarious to watch

the pure chaos that would be an adventuring party with the seven, adaine, kristen, fig and ayda

I hope to God this means we get a girl’s night episode after this

1 hour in and I just realize this is 'Fantasy High: Superbad'

So I did go back and check, and officially, as far as the episode stated, Gorgug started out the night as the crab king and eventually passed his crown to Riz. Ragh was not, in fact, the crab king as far as we saw in the episode; the last thing shown was the passing of the crown to Riz and then a cutaway to the next morning. So while it's possible Riz passed the crown to Ragh after we cut away but before the next morning, in the official canon, Riz remains the reigning crab king, not Ragh. PS: Fabian initially was the one to announce he was the little shrimp, and we never see Riz get officially declared the little shrimp. However, immediately after Gorgug crowning him the crab king, Riz does say that he was the little shrimp prior to being the crab king. Ragh's main involvement we see in the episode was telling Tracker that she wasn't lobster enough. In canon, everybody was absolutely wasted except Adaine and Fig (who immediately left with Ayda, and then left for the hot tub), so it's possible that no one remembered the night except Adaine, who misreported who the crab king was. This is the kind of hard-hitting investigative journalism the world needs now.

I'm halfway through and I have to say, the rest of this three-hour session BETTER not have any plot or adventure or anything other than the boys attempting to socialize

What is like living in a small town "Riz: Wanna go throw rock in the river or something?"

2:25:22 I feel like this is one of the reasons I love brennans DMing, that it isnt "ill hold onto this shield spell til its useable" its "chungledown sees something about to hit him, his instinct is to cast shield, he doesnt know that you rollled a 19 and the shield wont work for him"

thinking about how gorgug almost said boyfriends

Can I just say that I loved that Skolanda quit the police force and now is becoming a lawyer, like that is so cool I love Brennan so fucking much

Shout out to the subtle relationship development of Fabian calling Riz "Riz" instead of The Ball (or maybe Lou just forgot who knows but good on them)

I do love that the vast majority of living dads in the series are Fig's. Obviously Jawbone is also Adaine's but Jawbone, Gilear, Gorthalax...when Digbe posited a dad hangout, I immediately thought of the fact that the majority of the bad kids just don't have living parents lol.

look at my boy gorgug reinforcing his bed, made me teary-eyed!! artificer character development ooh BABY

20 constitution AND 20 charisma, with 18 INT, with at least a +2 to all checks? Chungledown Bim is a fucking nightmare.

The thought occurs that, outside of the Shrimp thing, the last two parties these teens went to were Zelda’s birthday where demons showed up, and Ostentatia’s house party where Aelwyn trapped her in a crystal.

Brian: *describing Corey having a eyebrow slit* Me: Oh, se he's bisexual Brian: "It looks like Rog and Corey seem to be flirting" Me: ✌ Called it

“We tag him and bag him”. Again, refering to a man who is their friend’s dad that has 5hp and an ac of 10

2:18:30 It's now cannon in my eyes that whenever Fabian is concentrating under stress whether in battle or in an exam, he hums either sea chanties or christmas carols to himself quietly

Jawbone is completely reformed after becoming a counselor. A complete 180' from hard drugs to sipping a bud lite between grown men

Murph got Emily's dice by mistake, I'm sure of it!

I love that they probably *could* have just bullied gilear into buying them alcohol but decided to lie to him and then jump him

On further viewing I love more things: - Allewyn is introduced very charming but the only sprite available is her destitute and completely miserable - Brennan named the edgy teen boy "Durden" - It would be SO hype if they went to the lan party and Chungledown Bim showed up virtualy - No one eats the chilly - Riz just has a bunch of wealthy friends with cars, mansions and concert money and he lives in a run down appartment with his mom trying to make ends meet - Tracker could possibly be the villain of the next campaign, considering the moon and the possible connections to the Night Yorb (whatever Brennan ends up deciding that is). Also, could just be a very helpful cult leader and girlfriend, but... I would love her as a villain, though, the drama of it! - This exact situation with the girls around would've either ended super quickly or gotten ten times more chaotic, cannot decide - The fight with the level 20 warlock lasted two or three rounds - In no way does "Chungledown Bim has reached your city" allow for a happy ending at all, he knows where they live, Fabian's house is kinda super noticeable and they no longer have Kathilda there

Fav bits: Zelda and Gorgug being supportive of their pathetic but adorable partners

It’s never uncool to care about the safety of others, Brennan. 🤙🏼

There are so many parts of this that I love, but I have to spotlight Hallariel attempting to popcorn a cantaloupe. Absolute gold

kinda want them to do a one-shot of the ladies taking on the gorgon queen now

THEY'RE CHUNGLING DOWN

I loved how horrified they all were at the thought of randos hooking up in their beds, but they are so lucky Kristen wasn't there to confess because I would think it was basically canon that she and Tracker have hooked up in all of their friends rooms at some point.

the kidnapping of Gilear actually gave me a stomach ache from laughing so hard, I had to pause the video and calm down

Also wanna add, i find it hilarious they are rolling physical Dice during ROLL20 con of all things.

What I would not give to have a chill campfire with Jawbone and The Dudes, talking about individual masculinity

Wilma & Digby codependent queens

As a person studying for the Bar exam , I appreciate the accuracy that Brennan had with Sklonda’s manic studying. 🤯😵 Thankfully, D20 is helping keep me sane.

Side note: Jaw Bone being all “might pass a beer around” is real funny considering that his past was full of activities that made the head man of Leviathan blush.

Imagine role-playing a freaking LAN-Party in D&D, honestly would be HERE for that.

Digby and Wilma are so, so flipping cute, I love them! Like, I would die for those gnomes.

"what if we got some of the dad's together for a boys night?" Riz and Fabian, the only boys of the group currently in town: '_'

14:00 We stan this kind of supportive masculinity in this house! It would be so cool to have male role models that wanted to talk about feelings and support each other.

1:00:50 Bro why did I crack up so bad. I guess it’s because it’s ragh and he would genuinely say that but he didn’t say rob or steal from a gas station he says attack a gas station 🤣

1:14:20 Honestly, I feel Emily's presence on this boy's night.

At 21:21 is the best description of being someone who can't sleep. And I just remembered the story Brennan told once about how insomnia was such a problem for him in college that he was awake for, I think, 82 hours. So. That comes from a real place, and damn, it tasted like the real thing.

Chungledown’s movement speed must be just shy of 400 feet if he’s pure warlock

This only proves that the boys must never be left alone ever again

Jawbone is to precious for this world, good lord

A D&D game has never made me laugh this hard. I love these boys.

Lou as Fabian is the best actor/character pairing

2:09:54 I wish there was a version of this without the character card, so we can see Lou’s reactions

How much money do I need to come up with to produce the Hallalriel & Gehleer Cooking Show? That is the only thing I want to watch, EVER!

How are the girls both the totally crazy ones, and also the rational ones in this friend group?

Do I miss being an awkward teen with little social understanding? No. Does this session intro provide an uncanny reminder of that time? Yes.

oh I LOVE how they have the pronouns of the characters and the players underneath their names

Just want to say, this is a MASSIVE step in in quality from pirates of leviathan in terms of video quality and editing.

Dimension 20 is the cream of the crop

“Fantasy google boys night” is the title of my autobiography

This is the funniest fantasy high episode. I wish it wasn't littered with references to past seasons so i could show people the potential of dnd with this, but the references is what make it a great episode as well. The utter choas and braindead the bad boys are is the best. Loved the ending as well. It went full circle

Watching Lou react to Brennan's description of the breakfast Digby is making for Gorgug is all I needed this morning.

Ragh is a bear now

Also DAMN! Return of the most terrifying character since Baron!

How do they not realise that Fabian house, you know the super pirate place would not have rum in it?

Just... the anxiety of this episode...

The ending feels like a Regular Show ending

Riz's insane nat 20s proves to me that another member of the group is like Kryptonite for Murph's Dice. I think it's Ally, they roll too well for a normal human.

Brennan truly is all of our dad

Lou looks like the older version of Static Shock from Batman Beyond/Justice League unlimited.

okay great session, but here's what I wanna know: when are we getting another dimension 20 spinoff based on the Reformed Villain Squad

mad respect to what i assume is an anglicization of “do’urden” to “durden” as the drow family’s last name

Roll to see how cool you are, roll with dissadvantage if you think that makes sense. And then every single one of them rolling with disadvantage

Oh my god. This is a high school episode of Ed, Edd and Eddy. Gorgug is Ed, Riz is Double D and Fabian is Eddy 😂

2:11:47 HE'S REAL! CHUNGLEDOWN BIM IS REAL!!

2:21:30 can you believe they almost just went down to the river to throw rocks? EDIT: Much better to have a chaotic life threatening experience and THEN go to the river to throw rocks 😂

Y'all just cured my depression.....

"Corey got hit by some kinda sleep spell" hi brennan VERY concerned about what kind of sleep spell can affect a drow! chungledown bim off the SHITS

I got really happy at the mention of the seven maidens, love them a lot, that was probably the most fun Fantasy High adjacent story so far

This is what it should mean when people say ‘boys will be boys’.

I just realized this; Corey's a drow. Drows are elves- and elves can't be put to sleep by magic. :P

1:40:53 This is going to my compilation of my favourite Murph reactions
