The “Fellowship of Destiny’s Architects”(FDA) comes from a long pedigree of conceptual puns that D20 has been cultivating:
SW: spoilers for a LOT of Dimension 20
Sinatra’s Law (the Imperial Axiom) being “If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere.”
NY traffic flowing against the literal laylines of the city, and that’s why it’s so labyrinthine and bad
In the same setting, JJ’s analysis of the particle physics of the Unsleeping City (Nothing is faster than a New York minute)
The Pirates of Leviathan insurance scam being based on a literal “act of god”
The Ramsian Doctrine (Junk food)
The whole thing with Jacques Tomaté and whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable was actually introduced in the original Crown of Candy
Gnosis being Clippy
Feel free to name any I haven’t thought of.
All I’m saying is after years of Brennan stinkers, Matt wanted to get in one of his own.
My sincere hope for this season is that the appearance of a Cruller ancestor will grant Lou the dubious honor (through Delissandro’s careful charm and seduction) of fucking Calroy’s mom.
Remember, all this shit started because they couldn’t agree whether a tomato was a fruit or a vegetable.
🚨TONIGHT! The premiere of Dimension 20: The Ravening War launches at 7pm ET / 4pm PT on dropout.tv (@dropouttv)
From Game Master Matthew Mercer, and starring Aabria Iyengar as Karna Solara, Anjali Bhimani as Lady Amangeaux, Zac Oyama as Colin Provolone, Lou Wilson as Thane Delissandro Katzon, and Brennan Lee Mulligan as Bishop Raphaniel Charlock.
this is why people think ttrpgs are weird
Yeah, the “snack player” is cool and all, but what about the “DM wedding officiant player”?
If we ever get another D&D movie and have some actual play peeps cameo in it, I would want Brennan, Aabria, and Matt cast as “trio/quartet (if we could get Jasmine too) of arguing wizards”, and anyone who’s seen the Game Masters of Exandria Roundtable immediately understands what I mean.
Brennan would probably be interrogating some nonsensical illogic surrounding the behavior of a person and/or organization, which, on a Doylist level would be him examining the worldbuilding.
Aabria would be starting BEEF.
Matt would be exasperatedly trying to mediate and deescalate.
The jank of mini-Belizabeth-Brassica’s upsettingly long neck is hilarious.
It’s funny cause it doesn’t show up in the character art.

Ah, yes, Veggie priest #2
Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue
✧
➸ “This is a sentence.”
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can ask be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations, dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
Brennan’s villain backstory really was the Intrepid heroes calling his corn gremlins “cute”.
