When a DM is forced to inhabit a specific NPC so frequently it’s easy to think of them as their own PC. Brennan seems to have had the opposite reaction in terms of Gilear.

Gilear has done nothing but eat yogurt and love his daughter. How dare you

I'm like 98% sure that the rest of the Dimension 20 cast would still be Brennan's friend if he killed Gilear. But is it really worth it to risk that 2%

THE GILEAR ONE KILLS ME EVERY TIME.

Brennan may strike down Gilear but it is only a matter of time until Fig has access to 7th level spell slots and a Resurrection permanently slotted for Gilear.

Gilear has basically become the Rincewind of Fantasy High. Emily is Fate, giving him her favor but also forcing him into dangerous situations because of it, while Brennan is the raw energy and chaos of the world itself trying to kill him.

The chaotic energy radiating from this man is incredible.

Nutting in the astral plane. Glad to see such serious questions handled so eloquently...

Gilear is the Chosen One. When the prophesied day of his true death arrives, (not just temporary death, as Gilear hath often died and hath risen again), much like Bill Seacaster became a powerful Devil, Gilear shalt become an almighty God.

Brennan just peace-ing our after admitting that he’s going to kill Gilear Me: hE hAs To HoSt AnOtHeR sEaSoN tO dO tHaT-

Love a good good McElroy reference being treated so seriously.

You're SICK Brennan. SICK. Also we all love you and please never stop DM'ing.

Hell yes, I need more Brennan dm question answering stuff, I miss adventuring academy

Brennan, I will planeshift into the Fantasy High universe and protect Gilear myself if I have to. I will protect that sad yogurt man with mine and anyone else's life and even if you strike me down, I will return as a ghost to continue my duty

The only thing I ask is that *when* Gilear dies it's with some dignity. Since, you know, his life is already a joke

Brennan's professionalism in the face of some awe inspiring questions is incredibly commendable. I do truly believe he will kill Gilear, and that will be that. Truly stupendous.

Imma need Brennan to get a couple assistants to help him find the time to make a Fantasy High and Unsleeping City module

Honestly, gilear is my favorite npc and I legit think Brennan trying to kill him makes for funny gameplay/role-playing and also spurs creative means with which to either attempt to keep gilear safe or try to hide him in battle or trying to get him revived and it never disappoints its always hilarious. Also " Let me assure you, demon... I HAVE NO PRIDE!" will always be some of my favorite lines in dimension 20 history.

So if everyone nuts in the same direction they can speed up the astral plane?

Great characters are born out of conflict. What makes Gilear an absolutely fantastic character is the sheer number of conflicts in his path and the absurdity of said conflicts. Gilear would disappear into obscurity if an extraplanar being wasn't deliberately messing with him on a constant level and he wasn't being rescued and ridiculed by a ragtag team of heroic teenagers. So, you go for it Brennan. You go for the kill. Take his bones. It will make our victory all the sweeter.

Gettin some heavy "Gonna kill that dog" cibes from that last question Lol

Last Time I was this early, The elven oracle was alive.

Thank you so much for captioning your videos! I love the channel and I always want to support you all, but streams are nearly impossible for Deaf people like me. This is awesome and it does not go unnoticed!

The funniest thing is that Gilear has been killed several times, I lost count around 3 or 4, it's just never stuck. You can kill Gilear as many times as you want. Doesn't mean he'll stay dead.

You know what, I'm gonna say this. I've developed a major crush on Brennan when I first watched D20. Previously, I just thought he looked weird, now when I see him my heart goes bump-bump. I love this talented man.

Been binging dimension 20 since I've been quarantined. This is awesome, a little ray of sunshine in the formless grey eternity that is my apartment.

When he said he gonna go kill Gilear I both chuckled and teared up from sadness. Poor Gilear

3:35 As someone who was listening at first, and not reading the subtitles, I heard: "No, when you... nut, in the astral plane-"

I love the advice about not worrying about every rule. You know what you do if you think you need a rule for something the player wants to do and you don't know it? Make it up my dude. You know those moments when Brennan just takes a second, thinks, then just says "Okay give me an flat [stat] roll" that's just deciding what check makes sense, set a DC in your head based on how hard you think it is... and move on with the game. I also really love how often Brennan just says "hell yeah you can definitely try to do that" even knowing its bonkers or difficult. Cause doing wacky shit is fun... and honestly failing to do wacky shit is also often fun.

I mean he did kill gilear several times, yet somehow in a universe brennan controls, his will doesn't matter in this case and Gilear is still alive and... well I wouldn't say kicking but hes there alright

ROFL on the Gilear request. That was just funny as all heck. With as many battles he's been in, he should of leveled up a little, maybe. Thanks for this great and funny video.

Just saw the king of staten island trailer and saw a familiar face, good job Lou 😎👌

Oh lmao question #2 is totally a MBMBAM goof

I love how he answered the first two questions with the same serious, teacher-like demeanor

Will there be a Junior Year for Fantasy High (i.e. a third Season?)

movement within the astral plane is relative but based on your will. so nutting in the astral will push you back only if you believe it will.

The one thing i'd say isn't wholly true here: your players might not *explicitly* tell you what they want. Players often don't *know* what they want. They often *think* they want +7 vorpal katanas. They don't. They want the quest to *get* their family's sacred weapon. So yes, ask your players what they want... but then interpret that. Ask yourself what they *really* want. And it's usually, unless you and your players are experienced enough to be confident anyway, the story of *getting* what they want, with setbacks and challenges and the real possibility of failure.

OMG, the extraplanar being was YOU! I was trying to think of the in-universe character. Lol.

i CACKLED at brennan's response to the gilear question. gosh he brings me so much joy

I'm so in love with that nerd-beast of a man.

Brennan you fool, you are Gilear. We are Gilears in this dark world of chaos and misfortune

Brennen's jaw line is next level holy crap

I think about the juxtaposition between the serious questions and “if u but in the astral plane will it push you backwards” and the Gilear one like every single day since that answertime

Looking forward to this week's Crown of Candy! Love seeing Brennan and the gang do what they do. It helps me get through my week to escape for an hour or two.

I love how the first question really made us lower our guard 🤣

The mild crazy-eyes he gets when explaining his goals for Gilear...

Brennan, I am sure you hear this all the time, but I fucking love you. XD you are a huge inspiration to me as a DM, and have given me hundreds of ideas on how to change how I play, which is really impressive considering I've been playing for 23 years. Go get em, buddy. You can do it.

The fact that two of the three questions/askers had references to MBMBAM says a lot about the overlap between these two communities

Brennan is such an amazing DM, I've been binging Fantasy High this quarantine

2:35 Nutting in the Astral Plane 4:06 Gilear

All of the perfect questions. Thank you for the answers, Papa Brennan.

I know Brennan said he has it out for Gillear but I always imagine him as Brennan incarnate.

2:40 so I thought this was about the way you move in the astral plane: your int score. the higher your score the higher your movement and so when you nut you gain a massive boost to speed

The "nut in the astral plane" question is a reference to the McElroy's podcast My Brother My Brother and Me

Fantastic hard hitting questions

I love storytelling, improv, and doing voices. I...just have SO much trouble learning the rules! That first question meant a lot lol

When you nut in the astral plane, it’s actually the space between you and your seed being pushed apart at an exponential rate.

Tonight we’ve got another episode of ‘what’s a sleep schedule, can you eat it? With our guest, Crown of Candy’ Edit: to prepare for this week, I’m preemptively breaking my sleep schedule to get my body used to it. Last time I fell asleep by 1 am and I’m not making the same mistake

Even when he's threatening our precious Gilear's life, I can't help but love Brennan! 😆

Of all the people that have personally told me "read the books first" or "You need to know ALL the rules" or "if I were you I would just stick to being a player for now" or even just sending me all these 2 hours long introductory videos... all I needed in reality to make me feel more confident about it was my favorite DM just literally saying in a five minute video "Just do it. You read enough - you played enough. Just start a game." /sobs/ thank you Brennan! /sobs/

Damn he just did that Kalina exit. "Ive gotta go kill Lydia Barkrock"

4:35 I feel like he missed an opportunity for one of his classic “under NO circumstances”

I had my first game as a DM after playing once for like 1:30h but with a group that never did that before and wanted to trie it. I used the ice giant quest in the witcher 3 as my story because I could not work with the books we had. But my partie loved it and now want to do it again. My mum gave me the tip to start DM-ing with storys that I knew, like fairy tales or so.

The gilear ending part made me weirdly happy thanks Brennan

I love him so much

Is Gilear aware that an extraplanar being is out to get him?

God, I love Brennan.

Went straight mobster on gilear

As someone who has *desperately* been trying to kill an NPC I introduced on a whim in session 1 of my Mutants & Masterminds campaign, I feel Brennan's answer about Gilear connects with me on a spiritual level. We're now in year 3 and he's still kicking. Not for a lack of trying on my part. Steve from construction will continue to live in a world that is design to kill him. And one day I'm going to get him. One day the party will slip up. And then I am going to get him.

Man first question already great from my good good boy origami-steve!

Brennan having it out for Gillard gives me massive Gorefield 'I'm Sorry Jon' vibes.

Question Time Stamps: 0:20 Do you have any advice for Novice DMs? 2:40 If you nut in the astral plane, does it push you backwards? 4:10 Will you please stop trying to kill Gilear?

Gilear will 100% be the key to defeating the Night Yorb, mark my words.

Heartfelt advice for newbie DMs -> nutting in the astral plane -> Gilear.

I'm most of the way into the spring break season and Gilear is still alive, which makes me worry for what is coming

4:28 I cast Ray of Sickness on the DM

I had a yoghurt add it's what Gilear would have wanted

The extraplanar nut answer made my day

WHEN U NUT IN SPACE IT PUSH U BACKWARDS

The ways in which the subtitles are wrong are hilarious.

I just wish I was as effortlessly funny as Brennan Lee Mulligan

Congratulations to lou on the movie role

i am a year late but i get so genuinely worried about Gilear 😭

This has the same energy as every attempted info dump/general conversation in Fantasy High. ‘Any tips as a novice DM?’ To ‘WhEN yOu NuT IN tHe AsTrAL PlanE DoeS iT PuSh YoU BACkwArdS’

This is so cute!

origami steve! what a username :)

I'm still trying to not be impressed by the fact he used the word preponderance, I swear to god Brennan has a brain like a super computer

Will you put sophomore year on the channel?? I missed it on the twitch channel

I Love Brennan

This casually chaotic vibe is killing me

The MBMBAM reference sent me into a fit of giggles

The elevator music really adds something to this video

: ( not me being legitimately sad and scared for Gileaaarrrr

"No" LOL

brennan works hard to kill gielar, but the bad kids work harder

Actually if you nut in the astral plane you would not move becouse motion is generated by thought! So unless you nut fowards and think backwards you would remain stationary.

Gilear is the choosen one. Confirmed...

i come for Gilear too.

Poor Gilear

lol He channeled his inner CEO for these questions..
