It's been 3 years, and I still think about the Deep Bleu Sea fight.

There are SO MANY good one-liners in this episode.

Brennan: Do you think that reality is strained by the fact that a hawk is helping you with surgery right now? How much— how much lower do you want me to go?

Emily: I just— I do think that you respect me for trying.

Brennan trying to sneak salami snacks during player character conversations, but Murph asks him a question and gets caught red-handed, causing much giggling and eye contact from Lou.

Sometimes when they talk it's snack time, and sometimes they ask me a question and then it's not snack time.

i love calorum, i think it's the best setting of dimension 20, the worldbuilding is fantastic, i love concept of border foods, i've cried many many tears over jet and lapin, i've audibly sighed in relief when they win a battle, i love the characters brennan and matt and the pcs have brought to the dome, i almost cried tears of joy when the ravening war was announced...

but the concept of a yogurt sea is genuinely sickening to me

#i will never forgive brennan for putting the concept in my head #maybe im just a wimp but the battle map for deep bleu sea makes me ill #dimension 20 #a crown of candy #the ravening war #acoc spoilers

In honor of Hot Murph Week, a holiday I made up and doesn’t exist, here’s my list of top-tier Hot Murph Momes.* There is no ranking here and I’m going off memory, so this may be adjusted or edited and you can add your own.

Anytime Glen spoke, during the Hot Glen era (RIP** Hot Glen), but especially when taunting Callie while in his cell.

When Jaina got legendary actions to give allies attacks, when she was sweating but effortless during the Ultrus fight, “Hardwon! Catch!”

“Are you a prisoner or a jailer?” (Jaina is so hot and I am not sorry for thinking this)

Riz threatening Biz in the aftermath of Arcade Ambush.

Riz deciding to Misty Step to the top of Kalvaxus and sink the Sword of Shadows into his head.

Theo casting knock to remove himself from the cell during Calroy’s coup.

Theo using Swirlwarden to survive Deep Bleu Sea.

Alanis counterspelling Akarot’s PWK to save Bev at Moonshine’s request.

The Would Be King spitting “Another failed experiment” at Corbeau during the side flap assassination. That whole thing has an energy because it’s completely improvised mechanics. And the misdirect of them thinking he was dead as he was dragged back into the tent…? Okay.

The whole of Battle of the Brands, but especially the athletics check where he took his time and then went “that’s only a 28” after taking off his sunglasses.

Barry scooping Gunnie and then jumping over the side and taking all the falling damage after escaping the casino. Also? If I’m being honest? The whole casino scene.

The moment in the Sophomore Year finale where Riz shoots someone and tries to fling them off the stairs and then Misty Steps back onto the stairs, emulating Moonshine Cybin. I don’t remember if it works or who it is, but hot.

Mac’s insane first hasted turn in Carl.

I don’t remember stuff from either TUC or NA well enough at the moment so those are unfortunately omitted.

*in a recent (from 2023) short rest (or episode, I don’t remember) Caldwell Tanner shortened the word “moments” to “momes”. Because of who I am as a person, I have also chosen to do this.

**the p is for piss. Glen fully sucks and no one who misinterprets what it means to be a crick has my respect. He was hot, though.

And yeah, Deep Bleu Sea is an awesome fight, and Liam "Full Peppermint Batman" is a triumph.

But Rescue at Buzzybrook is SO MUCH MORE badass. That might be my favorite combat episode in all of D20.

Top 10 battle maps on d20?

thank you for saying 10 lol (for the sake of fairness, I'm just going to talk about the physical maps in the dome- this is a Rick Perry et al appreciation post, as cool as the ones from Starstruck, TUC2, and The Seven (from what I've seen) are.)

THE BEAR. That goddamn motherfucking bear. Like, what the fuck, Aabria. The rest are gonna be listed by the episode title, but the bear deserves its own level of classification.

Deep Bleu Sea. The way it forced risky and/or very creative mobility, the boats moving, all of it.

Times Squaremageddon. I love it for all the same reasons as Deep Bleu Sea, the reason it's lower is because I like the ACOC aesthetic better than NYC lol

Reactor Charlie/The First Stoats. The puzzle in Reactor Charlie fucks SEVERELY, and how it transforms for The First Stoats is also such a big part of why I love it that I can't leave it out.

Scramble in the Sewers. The water rising was awesome both as a mechanic and how it was physically represented. And again, I love a mobility challenge.

Attacks on the Tracks. It was an actual, functioning model train. Incredible.

Arcade Ambush. Simpler in layout, but the challenge of possibly getting sucked into the games was really fun. And the context of it being in the first season, with its much lower budget than later seasons, cannot be ignored.

For Candia!. This one is a relatively unpopular opinion, I know, but I loved the swing they took with the scale change. The way it forced the players to literally look at the big picture and consider the tactical advantages and disadvantages of the two scales being offered to them. So we got the feeling of a proper siege taking back their castle as well as moments like the confrontation between Amethar and Calroy.

The Baron of Bricks. The wolf was in the soup and also the spoon tries to kill you.

The Ending of All Things. Say what you will about now Neverafter ended narratively, but the battle set FUCKED.

Ally: you know what I like about you Brennan?

Brennan: what's that?

Ally: we're always battling the church and that means a lot to me as a person. The bad guys are always the church guys, season after season, and I like that.

Brennan: I always thought my shit was always rather more anti-capitalist but yea we can go anti-church. I mean --

Ally: honey wake up its America, religion is capitalist!

Siobhan: two sides of the same coin x2

Brenan: You know I hear it all. You know honestly art is what you take from it.

Siobhan: it's the opiate of the masses baby, the opiate of the masses.
