And then the entire cast decided to kick his ass in a crown of candy as payback, I guess, with the amount of times they eff his shit up in combat (not that he didn't get them back tho lol)
A large part of the joy of DMing (especially when it's all content YOU personally crafted for that group) is having your challenges and puzzles thwarted. As the DM, even though you play the bad guys, you are still on the players team. You ultimately want them to succeed because that's how satisfying stories are made (Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of ways to do "failure" as a conclusion for a story and it still be satisfying etc) That's why often, monsters will have behaviour written for them as well, because most of the time you as the DM don't WANT to kill and beat the players, but the monsters definitely do, and so that zombie will absolutely knock someone down and start chompin on their nibblits despite your personal desire for that character to NOT get eaten by a zombie.
its especially funny to me after murph's little solo "ohh nO..." during the sea battle lmfao -- idk why (or if this explanation will make sense), but thinking about the juxtaposition between those two situations makes me laugh so hard. like, brennan's gravely-delivered explanation of the specific danger primsy's in leading to such a soft+genuine reaction from murph (bc he LIKES her!! primsy's a beloved npc!!) was already SO good -- but then comparing it to brennan's choice to *completely silently* Prove Lou Wrong for his (prob half-joking/"a little facetious") voiced hope that 'at least in whatever as-yet-unknown danger is incoming, the npc with a funny name might be okay'?? that's just. mwah. chef's kiss hfkdgk
"Emily is dead eyeing me like she is going to kick my ass in real life" reminds me of a game I played where my dm hit me and I told him to roll a strength save because I, not my character, was going to kick his ass.
I love the way Brennan makes his players feel awesome. As a DM you always want your players to succeed but he reacts very outwardly when they beat him to make them feel like they "won"
My more posh friend was letting me know that Brennan has a sailor mouth and I didn't get what they meant. Now I'm listening back and he really does say fuck in almost every sentence.
i forgot how much i loved murph and ally sitting next to each other for the live season -- this clip of murph's claps for ally's nat20 versus the memory of his horrible lair action roll sparks SO MUCH joy. incredible
Emily just lives to ruin Brennan's grand plans that he's been building up to, always has something epic up her sleeve that completely changes the course of the scene
Brennan is the villain all along?…….who knew? lol Meanwhile you get Emily axford Who has been sent from the farthest reaches of the universe to take him down
![[SPOILERS] Ally Beardley's Clutch Natural 20 Rolls Compilation + Brennan Eating Dice](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-IOJieSoyK0/mqdefault.jpg)
Brennan was aggressively in his element during unsleeping city it was such a pleasure to watch
"I'm all the bad guys" (tongue) awoken something in me lol
It's that New York City state of mind.
I don't think I've ever seen Brennan not in his element, but he was exceptionally on point for sure.
And then the entire cast decided to kick his ass in a crown of candy as payback, I guess, with the amount of times they eff his shit up in combat (not that he didn't get them back tho lol)
@@emericcson123 No. Shit. 😂
im convinced brennan is some kind of masochist with how much he goads them when they're already upset at him
It's not masochism, it's just playing the heel (with a dash of revenge)
That’d be sadism
@@Nyx_404 kinda both actually now that i think about it.

he is Hans Schadenfreude
"i'm gonna need a constitution saving throw from kingston"
"no"
the last “you’re never gonna fuckin sit down again!” from Lou after the bit is winding down takes me tf out every time
my favorite line is "What weird homebrew bullshit is this you fuck?"
Love the “At least Jon Bon is safe.” Followed by an immediate “No! Jon Bon!” 😂😂

i love the way ally says "oh, put that down" when brennan takes out the cone to measure damage 😭
"someone call wizards of the coast" 😂 gets me everytime
Dammit. "I'm all the badguys" gets me every time lol

The face Brennan makes when he accidentally drinks his dice; I love it.
I love the progression 😂
Eat your dice, Brennan
Drink your dice, Brennan
Ruin your coffee, Brennan
We're gonna eat your ass, Brennan. 🤣
Emily's reaction to the Nat 20 in Starstruck gets me every time. She called the shot and then was in just total disbelief
Brennan really is a staggeringly good sport.
"We're all gonna eat your ass, Brennan!" is such a strange quote without context
3:03 Murphs slow look up at the sound of the multitudes of dice coming their way is perfect.
I remember all of these moments individually but I never noticed how much Zac loves this bit hahahaha
Ally is blessed with all these natural 20s as payment for all the silly funny things their characters do
"I'm all the bad guys" omfg 😂
This compilation doubles as an Ally nat 20 comp

He’s got that (new york) dawg in him

Brennan's DM style labeled with a difficulty: *Hurt mode*
genuinely forgot how crazy ally's rolls were in sophomore year I gotta rewatch now
I want a comp of him kissing/eating his dice coz it surprisingly happened quite often
That last nat 20 where they ask him to kiss it is my fav. Murph and Ally grabbing Emily
thanks now i have to watch every intrepid heroes season again
luv how the live is just them bullying him constantly
They really are just a group of friends playing dnd and fucking around.
Emily just lives to ruin Brennan's grand plans that he's been building up to, always has something epic up her sleeve that completely changes the course of the scene
These are genuinely some of my favorite moments in dimension 20
3:15 the wink lmao
''kiss it'' Ally is such a fuckin savage
I feel trepid.
Someone call wizards of the coast😂
just gotta say, a+ captioning work!!
thank you!!
Brennan is the villain all along?…….who knew? lol
Meanwhile you get Emily axford
Who has been sent from the farthest reaches of the universe to take him down
She was sent from he'll to hill him 😂
beardsly and their fuckin nat20s man, where do i get that luck?
6:17 Zac pog
you may kiss... the dice :]
👆😧✊😐
You can tell how much they love each other by how much they say "fuck you"
