@@JesterC88 I'd love to see that clip somewhere. do you know what episode? Edit: Nvm I found it by Googling "Brennan Lee Mulligan defense attorney Zac". I don't know why I continue to be surprised that sometimes it really is that easy to find things.
@@clartblart3266I don't think it's about what the word means. It's more like... did Brennan think of another entity that would claim to be Baron's father? Was this foreshadowing of something that didn't pan out?
@solarprogeny6736 neither "the baronies" nor "Hilda St/Blvd" are topographical features. Also toponyms refer to the names of areas around the topographical features named for the features, not to people from the area. Also also this is an extremely dumb thing to try to start an argument or score smart guy internet points over
“YOU HAVE BEEN NAUGHTY THRICE” is something my wife now yells at me when I’ve forgotten to do some task she’s asked me to do over and over 😂😂 always makes me chuckle as I finally get on it
As I recall this was pretty close to the end of that episode - Brennan needed a reason for Riz and Fig to not be in a few of the following episodes because Emily and Murph weren't available for 2-3 weeks or so (a NADDPOD live gig travel thing or some such).
@@fabiangiesen306 Just checked, you've got it the wrong way around. This was the episode *after* Murph and Emily were absent. They started episode 3 with this scene, to explain why Riz was absent for episode 2. It happens about 15 minutes in.
I like to think Baron is gender indifferent. As in, they just do not care enough about gender to even pick one arbitrarily. And to Riz's credit, he doesn't seem to think the agender-ness is creepy. It's every other facet of Baron that's creepy, but not that.
I forgot how terrifying this scene was when it first aired on Dropout Edit: That's where it first aired for me since I don't do twitch, for clarification
This scene was a delicate balance between creepy and hilarious which I realize now mostly hinged on Brennan's face as he contorted his face to do the ridiculous voice. Without that context the balance definitely shifts or perhaps careens into creepy.
Rebecca that was incredible! That was so clever using the photos of the Intrepid Heroes/Bad Kids on Riz's evidence wall to cut to for their reactions! So well done 💛
2:55 Zac: "Ca- Can we be done?" Yeah I felt the same way. I'm gonna need a change of pants after hearing Brennan say "Romance Partner" in the Baron voice. Heck, just that whole character is Creepy as hell. Seriously, well done to the whole crew in general, but this scene is so memorable to me even before the animatic that I still wake up terrified that my sleep paralysis demon is gonna have that voice.
Oh this scene never fails to give me chills, congrats for the animator for doing it justice, all the little details of just how freaked out Riz is where amazing, and having the rest of the party as photos in the background was also great.
The charlie wall of the rest of the party and their reactions was the perfect way to integrate the audio into this animation hahaha. What a scene, I'd been seeing clips of this for a while before I finally got to watching myself (kicking myself for not watch sooner, because the whole series has been utterly fantastic), but man, I still wasn't even prepared for the deep dive into the horrors
This was so good! You captured the creepiness of the scene so well, and I love how the rest of the party and Brennan were represented through pictures on the cork board.
i love the design of baron looking like an unfinished person crafted by the force of nightmares. riz didn't specify gender or anything about what baron looks like, so he's like the bare bones of 3d model with a plain white mannequin that they're going to paint later, holes where the eyes are going to go, marks for the unanimated mouth and nose and goblin-shaped until further notice. the nightmare king or whoever created him was waiting for riz to tell more lies so they could fill in the details until he eventually looked like a real person. so when baron dragged him into the mirror to make up more things, if kalina hadn't wanted him for the ritual baron could have become real...
LOVE the detail of the other party members + brennan being represented through Riz's conspiracy board since they can be heard but they're not supposed to be in this scene
I saw a short segment of this and immediately had to go find and admire the full thing. I love all the details!! I love how the rest of the crew speaks from their pictures on his conspiracy board!! And the creepy vibes and scared expressions are coming through so well, it's fantastic. Just gorgeous all around
Not me in the packed IMAX theater opening weekend of Dune 2 trying so hard not to laugh every time Austin Butler's character came on because he reminded me of Baron from the Baronies. 😂
Oh god… this got animated? I hope in the new season we’ll get a reference to Baron somehow Edit: Side note I hate(love) that Baron’s mouth and expression does not change at all. It’s WAYYY creepier now that it’s animated than just Brennan describing it
Now this was a cool yet scary scenario. Especially since, whether peer pressure or just wanting people to leave you alone, many have likely lied and said they had a romantic partner when they actually didn't. Making such up to both strangers and even friends. So yeah, a scenario where the lie creates a monster or (fey?) creature claiming to be the romantic partner you made up would be helluva scary. Like, this was a very creative and interesting scenario to offer.
Ho. Ly. CRAP. That was AMAZING. Such beautiful animation, and the way you conveyed emotions with Baron without having him move his mouth was just... +chef's kiss+ Too many of the (very good, mind you) fan animatics forget that Baron's mouth doesn't move.
Dimension 20 and Rebecca never misses with these animations. Now I'm imagining this style but for the candle-door-Stepmother-smile-of-a-devil-you-never-believed-in Neverafter scene.
oh my GOD I COMPELTLY LOVE HOW DND BECOMES A LITERAL TV SHOW/MOVIEEEEEEEEE I HAVE BEEN ONLY IN 2 SESSIONS SO FAR (not campaigns, sessions, they were virtual and aren't about normal dnd but are about jujutsu kaisen) AND I COMPLETLY LOVE THIS I SERIOUSLY CAN *NOT* LOVE THIS MORE 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Maybe referring to the nightmare king?
@@nightshadesfunkyvids3812 I would say that this was a reference to the nightmare king

The best moment with Baron is when they say "Falthethriel"
can't believe this season came up with both iconic characters Baron from the Baronies and Hilda Hilda at 22 Hilda Street and Boulevard
How dare you also forget the unhinged and unfortunately well-loved Chungledown Bim 😡

So this is the D20's version of CritRole's Keyfish, where everything goes to hell in a handbasket in the first 5 minutes of the episode lol.
How did Riz escape?

Gender neutral nightmare *mannequin*, actually. Even more creepy…

@@morganqorishchi8181 He didn't make up the gender yet. Once Riz makes up a gender, Baron will have a gender.

It first aired on Twitch, iirc

There is one in The Seven. He is there at the ball they all attend.
@@darrienjones8917 neat
Yeah I was about to say, if you watch The Seven Baron is in a fight but as a background character. They talk about it in Adventuring Party
"it is not my fault i am born of lies, it is the fault of the deceiver" is SUCH A POWERFUL LINE LIKE HOLY SHIT C H I L L S
I love the detail of the other players' reactions being shown through the conspiracy board.

God this is gorgeously eerie, Riz and Baron's voice work is phenomenal and the animation is phenomenal, truly amazing work from everyone involved
The little illustrations on the board of the players as their characters as a nice touch
Can we please make a fundraiser for an entire series like this?
I can see it also getting 10mil. We could definitely fund that.
I remember watching this and just going through every emotion ever
i would absolutely watch the entire story in this style
"My stark faaather!" always gets me. Yeeeesh!
The players as photographs on the board is such a clever idea. Absolutely brilliant!!
years ago this was horrifying, its even more horrifying now. Good work

Another amazing animation! I pray that one day we get Aguefort's whole grabbing the sun summoning an army sequence
Thank you for including Zac's frankly fair reaction. Yeesh
I know every word to Baron's speech and I am not ashamed.
"As you creep you immediately know that your reflection is wrong"
Ugh, it's so real.
Thx for the video
I’ve got a lot of work to get done over the next month and now I don’t need to worry about sleeping ever again
Yay!
I literally just watched this scene with my new dropout subscription this is crazy
I always enjoy seeing all the artist renditions of this scene. Everyone’s interpretations are so interesting.

When your totally real Canadian girlfriend comes to visit.
this is amazing! This scene really got me when I first watched it.
Let's go! This is one of the best D20 moments for me :D
It had me running chills up and down my spine.

The way Baron say Riz's name like it's all one word is always wonderful

Your style is gorgeous!
What I wouldn’t give to have a full animated season of fantasy high
the animator adding the eyes rolling back as he goes unconsious gets me everytime its a little detail but i LOVE IT
THE OTHER PLAYERS WATCHING ON THE CONSPIRACY BOARD OMG effERVESCENT!!!!!! inCredible!!!! AMAZING
I LOVE the detail on that photo that the way Kalina's shoulder is drawn makes it look like Pock's arm is going right through her.
Brennan decided it was time to up the stakes in that moment.
GUESS WHO'S FUCKING BACK?!
Oh god… this got animated? I hope in the new season we’ll get a reference to Baron somehow
Edit: Side note I hate(love) that Baron’s mouth and expression does not change at all. It’s WAYYY creepier now that it’s animated than just Brennan describing it

Wow this is amazing!!!! The animation is so smooth and the sound effects are really good!
the addition of animations on the conspiracy wall is PERFECTION
Them animated on the clue board is a great touch
So happy that baron is returning
i just finished season 1 of fantasy high and truthfully baron is the main reason i started
As a guy who had an imaginary partner, I fully commend Dimension 20’s ability to turn that concept into a horror element, genuinely love it
This is so good! Amazing animation!
Thanks! I didn't want to sleep anyway!
Baron is hilarious

Brennan making antagonists due to the the player's shenanigans will never not be funny.
FINALLY! Thank you so much!
This animation alone started my dimension 20 binge-watching
YES. THE LEGEND. THE ICON.
Nicely made. Hoping for a Telemaine 'Jorjuj' animation next.
Actually horrifying narration. This animation makes it so much more skin crawly feelings 😅
Riz would absolutely have his friends on his wall like suspects. Notes about them, hangouts, friendship status 😂

Great Animation!
Very Close to how it played out in my head...
I've been waiting all my life for this
Oh Lord, the pupils appearing towards the end. That really escalated the scary!
Menace + Romance = this. Roëmænce.
This is a MUCH less scary version of actual events lol
i think you guys should do a full campaign animated, it would be tiring but it could maybe be fun and even give you some money too
This is SO AWESOME!!!

This made me realize, I did not pay good enough attention to the current season, and must now re-watch it xD
Also, please bring back the Romance Partner shirt! Mine is falling apart
The last couple seconds where the animator adds pupils to the "weird skeleton boy's" eyes is perfectly offputting
Thanks for a new interesting thing I can put into the temple I built for my group! I’ll be tweaking it a little bit this should be fun 😈😈😈
This is amazing and also very scary!
