00:00Hello, one and all, and welcome to another episode of Adventuring Party.
00:03I'm your humble dungeon master, Brennan Lee Mulligan.
00:05With me, as always, are our righteous wrestlers.
00:06Say hi, righteous wrestlers!
00:08Hi, righteous wrestlers!
00:10Look at us pros.
00:12Yeah, we got it now.
00:13We got it now.
00:14Gang, oh my god, what a fucking episode.
00:17Your premiere, your debut here at Dimension 20, you guys crushed it.
00:20How'd it feel?
00:21Oh.
00:21Good.
00:22I'm still sweaty.
00:23Yeah.
00:24Yeah, I'm still a little bit loofy.
00:25It started overwhelming.
00:26I'm being like, what?
00:27Yeah.
00:27But then it ended pretty strong.
00:29I mean, it's fun, but it's still a little overwhelming.
00:32You get in the sauce.
00:33There's like a special, like if you play this for like 18 hours in a basement, it gets soupy down
00:39there.
00:39You know, it gets intense.
00:41You're sweating, you're in it.
00:42You're like, my god, I win.
00:43We're going to die.
00:44We're losing hit points.
00:46The stress is real.
00:47The stress is very, very real.
00:48But you guys were phenomenal.
00:50And you won!
00:51Defeated Hercules, Achilles, Helen of Troy, Odysseus.
00:54Hell yes.
00:55Big ones.
00:55Big hitters.
00:56I was nervous.
00:57I'm not going to lie.
00:57When Achilles, where Hercules came out, I was like, oh.
00:59We got this.
01:00We got Hercules.
01:00Just not thinking that three more people were coming.
01:03Yeah.
01:05Do you feel nervous because you're the only one who's really played out of us?
01:09Like, were you trying to impress us at all or not?
01:10I mean, a little bit.
01:12A little bit.
01:12But that's why I know, so like when I play, I don't understand all of this all the time.
01:18A couple little things.
01:19But for me, the way I was taught is like, as long as you just create something imaginative
01:22and say like, can I do this?
01:24DM will be like, yep.
01:25Yeah.
01:26Roll these dice.
01:27Your moves were way different than ours.
01:29Yeah.
01:29But now it helped me learn, too.
01:31I know.
01:31We're like, ah.
01:33Yeah.
01:33Cunning action.
01:34Can I do the Thorne's whip, please?
01:36What a good, it just turns it from like, can I hit him?
01:39Yep.
01:39Cool.
01:40We're done.
01:40To like, what can we do?
01:42Like a Jackie Chan movie?
01:43Like, I just think of it like wrestling.
01:45Yeah.
01:45Yeah.
01:46Yeah.
01:46We did definitely think of wrestling.
01:48Yeah.
01:49It was sick.
01:49You guys were awesome.
01:50And it was so funny.
01:52It was so heartwarming.
01:53I loved those early scenes where we saw all of your guys' backstories.
01:57And we stole the Minotaur's car, which was great.
02:00Pussy wagon.
02:01Pussy wagon.
02:01We did nothing to deserve that, but we did it anyway.
02:03I love that.
02:04Exactly as you should.
02:05Yeah, because we're going to see him again, too.
02:07Yeah, I already know.
02:08He's going to roll up and be like, that's my car.
02:09That's my uncle, dude.
02:10You stole my uncle's car.
02:11He's in the tournament.
02:12Went out of his way to help us achieve, like, what?
02:15You know what I mean?
02:16I didn't think about that.
02:18Yeah, you didn't think, really.
02:19It was a thrill.
02:20You were just like, I know one character trait, and I'm going to use it.
02:23Yeah.
02:23I'm sneaking up.
02:24Yep, yep.
02:25I didn't think about that one.
02:26Yeah.
02:27It was gorgeous.
02:28So, first impressions playing D&D.
02:32Were you, was there a part of the game that you remembered that you were like, okay, this
02:37is clicking now?
02:37Like, there a part where you go like, oh, this is my character's deal.
02:40I get this.
02:41This is what we're about here.
02:43When did it start to feel like you were like, oh, cool.
02:47Like, I think, Chelsea, you said it'd be great.
02:48Mid-battle.
02:48Mid-battle.
02:49You said it was something really cool.
02:50You were like, this is like living in a movie.
02:51Yeah.
02:52Which felt really awesome.
02:53You're like writing your own script.
02:55Yes.
02:56Very much so.
02:56But as you go, you're watching it, too.
02:59Yeah.
03:00Do you know what I mean?
03:01Whoa, man.
03:02Whoa.
03:04Nippy.
03:05You're watching it, boy.
03:06That's actually what I was thinking last night after I took an edible.
03:12And you guys, there were some, like, big swings there.
03:15There were some big, like, role-play swings there, too.
03:17I feel like Adonis right up at the top being like, you do not have to do what these gods
03:23say.
03:23You do not have to, like, revere these gods in this way.
03:26Sick move.
03:27Very, very fun.
03:28Well, I figure we come out swinging, you know?
03:29Like, let's get into it.
03:30And from his perspective, I think he just wants to, like, get his looks back, like,
03:37ASAP.
03:37Yeah.
03:38You know?
03:38Yeah.
03:38And that's what I'm thinking about.
03:40And I'm like, oh, yeah, we should have, like, strategized or, like, thought about this.
03:44You know?
03:44Like, as soon as I said it, and then all of a sudden, like, the dice rolls and, you know,
03:49being, I guess, at a disadvantage, like, yeah.
03:52Then I was like, oh, maybe we should, like, think about what we're doing before we actually
03:56just go ahead and do it.
03:57But, you know.
03:58Hey, I love it.
03:59And there are people in the crowd who wanted to hear it, right?
04:01Yeah.
04:01You see this weird shit where it's, like, why are the Olympians getting away with this?
04:05Why are people not standing up?
04:07And it's a very, you know, there's an important thing there to connect with people in the crowd
04:11who wanted that, which is sort of the opposite, but also a very cool move from Julius to, like,
04:16give big ups to the gods and have them be, like, oh, who's this guy who's, like,
04:20who's, like, shouting us out, which is a very fun way to get close to people you want.
04:25Lots of deception.
04:26Lots of deception.
04:27Because, like, like, Kofi's saying, like, your motivation, whatever it is, so, like,
04:31his, he's so, you're so focused on, I need my looks back.
04:33I'm, like, so meticulous, like, from the time I was three, I was told Zeus did this.
04:38Because now it's, like, how do I, how do I, you can't get him from far away.
04:42You have to get close.
04:43So that's always my...
04:44Ooh, keep your enemies closer.
04:45And he invited us up, dude.
04:46Yeah.
04:47Oh, shoot.
04:48Are you guys nervous about that?
04:49What do you think, why do you think Zeus is inviting you guys up?
04:51I think I'm gonna hide.
04:55Disengage.
04:56I love, your first action is, like, here we are, Titan takedown.
05:00The competition of the century.
05:01You're, like, I pull a cat out of a bag and I jump out of the way.
05:05I'll take the drink.
05:09Then you take a free drink.
05:12But then you dropped Hercules on a nat 20.
05:15Yeah.
05:15Gotta feel good.
05:16I wasn't gonna say it, but thank you.
05:18Yeah.
05:20We dropped Hercules.
05:21Hell, yes, we dropped Hercules.
05:22We dropped Helen of Troy.
05:24It was saying, and she got the two of those, like, ship barrage attacks off.
05:28It was intense out there.
05:30It was very intense.
05:30We came together as a team.
05:31I think so, too.
05:32Yeah, we really looked out for each other, like, right off the bat, it felt like.
05:36Yeah.
05:36For sure.
05:37Well, you guys did.
05:38Yeah.
05:39You had a plan.
05:41You know, you sacrificed yourself, you know, when I needed another.
05:44You're right, you're right.
05:45Very important.
05:46Are you gonna get over if nobody cheers?
05:48There you go.
05:49There you go.
05:51No, there were a lot of sick moves here and a lot of, like, finding out how the battle goes.
05:55I'll say, too, that fear move on Achilles was huge.
05:58Achilles had an ability that you guys, I was worried that you guys might lose the battle from Achilles, who,
06:04once he gets to one hit point, he cannot go any lower unless you take his boots off.
06:10So, Achilles was nearly impossible to KO through damage, but getting him out of the ring, he's casting that fear
06:20effect on him, that mind-affecting thing, he was disqualified.
06:22So, huge.
06:23Good job.
06:24Being smelly paid off.
06:26Being smelly paid off.
06:28You gotta use what you got.
06:29You might miss it.
06:32That was excellent.
06:33That was awesome.
06:35Was there anything about playing D&D that was surprising to you?
06:39That you did not, like, how has your perception of the game changed from when you started this movie to
06:44right now?
06:44I had no perception.
06:45Dude, all of this is surprising to me.
06:47Yeah.
06:47Literally every single thing.
06:48I had no idea what to even expect.
06:50Hell yeah.
06:51I love that.
06:52Yeah.
06:52But have you ever, I'm like, you've seen it in, like, pop culture before and stuff?
06:56No.
06:57You have not?
06:57I've heard it.
06:58I'm not joking.
06:58I only saw that one scene in the one TV show that I'm not allowed to name.
07:07And that's it.
07:08And that's it.
07:08That's it.
07:09Yep, yep, yep.
07:09I love that.
07:10That's fucking awesome.
07:11It's very, it's a great thing to be able to share with people.
07:14And it's very fun to watch, like, the spin-up of, like, oh,
07:21it's not that I'm, like, following the rules.
07:24I'm using the rules to describe the story I want to tell, right?
07:28The rules are following me.
07:30I'm not following the rules, which is really, really fun.
07:33You guys took a lot of advantage of that.
07:34I thought sneaking past the ref was really, really fun.
07:38And asking those good asks of, like, can I add my shine token here so that Pia could
07:43burst out of that trap and get back in the ring and start fighting.
07:47It was sick as hell.
07:48It was great.
07:50When you guys jump back in and you head up, do you guys, like, what are you going
07:54to do?
07:55Are you guys going to go and talk to Zeus?
07:58I already told you guys what I'm doing, so.
08:01You're hiding, for real?
08:04I'm hiding.
08:05I'm going to see if anyone has a pocket I can take my little claw into.
08:07I think I'm open to listen.
08:09I don't know if I'm going to, I don't have anything to say right now.
08:12And I got, you know, my homie's backs.
08:14Yeah.
08:15Hell yeah.
08:16I think I'm going to listen because I don't think they, they don't know about me.
08:18They don't know who I am.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Yeah.
08:20So I want to get some info.
08:22Oh.
08:23Hell yeah.
08:23I guess he also struck me too, right?
08:25He got all of us.
08:26Yeah.
08:26Yeah.
08:27I was just thinking about you guys.
08:29Mm-hmm.
08:30Let's just listen.
08:31Yeah.
08:31I've got, I've got a plan.
08:32Should I tell my plan to my party?
08:35If you want, you're welcome to.
08:37I think go for it.
08:38Hell yeah.
08:39Should I tell them now or should I, should I wait?
08:41I'll put my fingers in my eyes and you want to tell them.
08:43Go for it.
08:43Tell them now.
08:44So like these gods have all wronged us, right?
08:47And we all want a piece.
08:49If we win the tournament and then they're like, hey, you guys fight.
08:52We go, hey, but we would love it if you guys would come down and be down here with us
08:56for the fight ringside.
08:57And then?
08:58But they're all in a line, right?
09:00Watching.
09:00I have this scroll of banishment.
09:03I throw the scroll and then someone who has the ability to hit them hard enough to push them back.
09:08Hits the one in front and then all four of them get banished.
09:13The other three of them get banished and then there's four seats open on the Mount Olympus.
09:18Dude, we're winning.
09:20Oh, wow.
09:20Anyway.
09:22Anyway.
09:23I didn't hear a goddamn thing.
09:24But all I know is that there's some sick shit going on out here.
09:29I think, too, with specifically listening to the idea of a, whatever Zeus wants to tell you guys,
09:37I think it's like watching a group of newcomers come in and knock out this premium team right out of
09:43the gate.
09:44It's pretty intense.
09:45I'm sure that he's got a vested interest in wanting to know what your guy's deal is or what it
09:50is that you want.
09:51You've got to worry about that level of attention.
09:54And you have like 300 people that are all going to come get a free drink at Party Animals later.
09:59Yeah.
09:59Yeah.
10:00That's right.
10:02Well, $2.99.
10:03$2.99, you know, we don't.
10:05$2.99, you're paying.
10:06$2.99, you're paying.
10:07She's, yeah.
10:09I will be hiding again.
10:10She just did it for the name of the game.
10:11Disengaging again.
10:14Hell, yes.
10:16I'll also throw out, I just want to give a shout out to our amazing artists because you guys get
10:19to see our battle sets for the first time.
10:21So good.
10:21This is so sick.
10:22It's really awesome.
10:23Our great team here for the DM screen, we had Kelsey Hunter, Amber Padgett, Alex Steele, and Leslie Clugston.
10:29Shout out to you guys.
10:30For our neutral board, we had Maura Takashida, Ryder Dunnigan, and Allison Gondek.
10:35Mini painters, Jesse Herron and Maura Takashida, who did all our awesome minis, including you.
10:39That's crazy.
10:41PC Miniature Sculpt by Margaret Dost.
10:44Projection Tech, our awesome wall tech by Derek Christensen and Ruby O'Brien.
10:48Projection Illustrations by Tyler Miles Lockett.
10:51And then our game design team, Hannah Rose, Brander Stoddard, Dan Dillon, and Maisie Veselak.
10:56Thank you to our game design team.
10:57Incredible work all around.
10:59Yeah.
11:00All around.
11:01And I think that was a phenomenal first episode.
11:05And now we're like in the thick of it.
11:06You guys are in the tournament.
11:07You're in the belly of the beast.
11:09There's no getting out now.
11:10Who knows what comes next?
11:12Holy shit.
11:12And next time, too, there may be something on that neutral board,
11:15because we have here party animals, which is going to advance in the next tournament round.
11:21I'll show you guys this when you come back from break,
11:23because we have the tournament brackets to open up.
11:27So we're going to see who you're up against next.
11:30Dun, dun, dun.
11:31Dun, dun, dun.
11:34And I think with that, we'll call it there.
11:36This has been Adventuring Party.
11:37We'll see you all next week for another episode of Dimension 20, Titan Takedown.
11:41See you there.
11:42Titan Takedown.
11:44Woo!
11:47Titan Takedown.
