I Am Fowl posted:Disposal is what the radish is tapping into. Based on the original run, the hungry one is very much them being eaten. Deus Pahzel is something outside of the Bulb/Hungry One duality--disposal as you've suggesting That makes sense. I've just started rewatching CoC 'cause it was the first one I watched several months ago and I don't remember all the details.

There's a bit towards the end, after they fight the Sugarplum Fairy, where the ghosts of dead Candians are seen again, including dead PCs. The description of the Hungry One's embrace to the living Liam is rather conclusive, I think.

wasn't the reveal at the end of a crown of candy that the deities are just non-sentient power sources.

Sam's slight annoyance toward his dad not being available for Game Changer was additional salt in the wound to Grant's delight. This episode was like an 8 minute shot to the arm of entertainment.

I assume Grant didn't know who was on the call sheet for this one other than it needing Sam, because I expected a bit more from Elaine. Maybe he was hoping she'd bite on the stuff about Sam's favourite sex position?

Is there anywhere Brennan has talked about behind the scenes of his campaigns from a character/narrative perspective? I know there's the BTS video on Dropout/YouTube but that's more about the physical production. For example, I'm curious in Fantasy High if the Arthur murder/suicide to revive the bad kids was 100% improvised on the spot or more of a mix of reacting to the players but with some nugget of a plan if there were PC deaths.

If I recall, he stated that if one PC had died he would have let it go, but since multiple died he decided to do what he did. Like most of D&D it was likely not 100% improvised.

Sure that’s just an example. I just wanted to see him nerd out about all of those kind of moments across the season.

Fantasy High didn’t have adventuring parties for every episode like the other seasons have, but there are the four “Extra Credit” episodes where Brennan talks through things with two or three cast or crew members at a time. I believe that’s one of the places he talks about the Aguefort thing.

Ravening War was good. Calorum remains my favorite D20 setting, it's so freakin' rich. Only hope if/when they go back they do a full season there, as the ~drama~ of the setting pairs well with a bit more time to seep in it. Was excited for a split second that Brennan would actually join the bad guys and make the battle PVP. Loved the finale boss being a garbage disposal. Absolutely horrifying.

drat, that Ravening War finale was so hosed up and amazing, then learning 4 of my favourite drag queens are going to play. I don't say this often but I truly can't even. It's going to be so much fun.

Regarding the Ravening War: So, all of the lands of Calorum mean something, they represent the foods that live there. Meat lands have meat people, that's easy; Ceresia is a reference to Ceres, and so on. The fungus people and their land--what's the reference? I can't even work out how to spell the place.

Semi-Related: If anyone needs a fix of more Brennan Lee Mulligan DMing, Worlds Beyond Number is a few episodes deep and it's really, really good. It's played quite a bit more serious compared to D20 though.

It's played quite a bit more serious compared to D20 though. Also on this note, WBN is free. You can listen to the entire campaign without paying anything. If you do sub to the patreon you get bts and stuff like they are about to do a shorter campaign with Erika as the first time DM. Their characters will be farm animals.

I'm still making my way through Nevermore, and really enjoying it. I like the longer season. It didn't grab me the first couple episodes but now I'm fully in. Everyone is good, as always, but Lou's Pinocchio, godamn.

Just finished Mice and Murder. I bounced off it a few times, but once the murder mystery started I was hooked. I would love to see more of this setting/genre.

Fortunate Horse (which is the company that produces WBN) has had him on for at least one stream, I'm watching him guide a Wanderhome session right now while prepping to (finally!) run my own session of that system. The man is an absolute master. E: oh yeah, that actually reminds me - given the financial success of WBN, I was wondering if Brennan might take his cash and buy into Dropout, if Sam is willing to sell some shares...

It being a coop and having a much smaller staff means their take away is probably a lot better, I can't imagine it's "buy ownership in Dropout" good.

I remember they hit like 20k patrons in their first week, and at $5/head minimum, that's at least 1.2 million in annual revenue. And then according to this site they're now sitting over 30k subs, which is nearly 2mil annually if everyone is chipping in $5. It's not like they have a ton of overhead, and they're not even advertising AFAIK!
