    Can we talk about how Lou nailed playing Kingston with Liz? Brennan was so fucking perfect with being Liz and then Lou with his low soft voice cracking a joke or two but telling her she was everything to him-my eyes watered.

      Pete: ...yeah.
      Misty (Now Rowan): Escaped Faire, despised by the former ruler, has to perform a good show at a certain time or else she'll die.
      Kugrash: Was a white collar criminal, turned into a rat by someone he scorned, lives in the sewers, and one of his son's hates him.

    Idea for a mini series: Unsleeping City: Critters.
    Brian Murphy DMs a story where Kugrash enlists vermin heros to defeat a tiny evil. All the characters have to be the size of a rat or smaller. Rodents and insects, maybe a magical creature or two (how big do you think that excrement elemental is?). And Brennan plays Perry the Paladin Pidgeon, empowered by their undying love (or lust) for Kugrash.

    • @efbless
      @efbless 2 ปีที่แล้ว +99

      It gave Kug a moment of redemption that felt so real. He had to make a meaningful sacrifice to make amends for his selfishness. While the ability to lift a curse would have helped his own family, Gabriella and Esther's family could only be healed by an artifact that powerful. Both families were hurt by Kug's betrayal, but it was more important to take advantage of this rare opportunity to repair the deep impact on Gabriella's family.
      This is also a beautiful illustration of the importance of reparations for intergenerational harms perpetuated in the US. A masterful way to tie a moment of character growth into the underlying theme of addressing the systemic, and often racially specific, damage caused by capitalism.

      RBG was most definitely a paladin of Justice. And a righteous woman. She passed on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and even if her life hadn't been a sure sign of the truly righteous hero she was, the day of her passing absolutely way. I'm watching this now, a full year and a month after her passing, and I started tearing up when Brennan said that line, and then again when Ally looked at the camera and made their comment. Zichrona l'vracha. Her memory will _always_ be for a blessing to everyone.

    Ally certainly predicted the future about how sad the scene with RBG was given that by the time this episode aired on TH-cam she had been dead for 12 weeks. May her memory be a blessing
    (For the record I do see how that could look like a pun giving the blessings on the Questing Blade but since she was Jewish one would say "may her memory be a blessing" instead of "rest in peace")

    I’m almost embarrassed to admit this, but it wasn’t until this episode that I realized Ricky’s Axe was a Fire Axe. After all, the Questing Blade takes on the needed form for its wielder. Like the baseball bat.

      Did you think he had a sword the whole time or some kind of medieval axe? It's interesting to look back and imagine Ricky using a different weapon instead of his fireman's axe in some scenes. I wonder if you've rewatched this series with the knowledge you have now and how different certain scenes are in your mind because of it.

    The scenes of Sofia on the spire alone and Kingston in the hospital are exactly what I needed today. Thank you all for making me laugh and cry and pouring your hearts out into this amazing show. ❤️

    He always weakens them in some way before the final battle... first was them having to save family in fantasy high... and now they’re down by spell slots and a bit of max health. I wonder if ally rolls another crit to come back to life and get deus ex machine like with headmaster agueforte?

      It's the best way to make a fight feel like it has more stakes! I use it quite a bit and it's always tense

      its the same thing that happens in other types of dnd campaigns, where the party has to go through a whole dungeon before fighting the boss, brennans campaigns just separate them a bit

    I got back into dnd AFTER watching unsleeping city. Rewatching now after ive rejogged my memory on rules and stuff, HOLY FUCK EMILY'S CHOSEN GIFT IS INSANE. That is MENTAL thank fuck he only used that in the last fight, but that is genius and im not sure if theres an actual item/feat that achieves this same effect but as far as im aware that's homebrew. Well done, Brennan XD

      Yeah, total homebrew. Murph makes a pretty surprised face when she reads the card.
