00:00Hello, one and all, and welcome to the very first episode
00:03of Adventuring Party for this season of Dimension 20,
00:06City of Darkness.
00:08I'm your humble Dungeon Master, Bradley Mulligan.
00:09With me, as always, are our intrepid heroes.
00:11Say hi, intrepid heroes.
00:12Hi, intrepid heroes.
00:15Oh, wow.
00:17Oh!
00:18Whole blood.
00:19A gift from Devon and Molly,
00:21and that guy that you were eating.
00:23Oh, yes!
00:24Devon and Molly, oh, lovely.
00:27Ooh!
00:27The characters in the game.
00:28The characters in the game.
00:29I was whacking my brain for a person named Devon or Molly in my life.
00:34There are little clips on them that you'll unclip,
00:36Brendan, at the top of the straw.
00:37Great, thank God.
00:38Unclip that, and it'll un-sinch it.
00:40Okay.
00:41What is this?
00:42It's blood, dude.
00:43It's freaking blood, dude.
00:48It's blood, dude.
00:48How do I unclip it, though?
00:50Oh, like this.
00:50What's it taste like?
00:52RH negative.
00:53Good.
00:53That was easy to do.
00:54I'll figure it out.
00:55I'm pretty strong.
00:57Other way?
00:57Do you have-
00:58No, John, don't help me.
00:59Don't help me on camera, John.
01:01This is a good blood flavor.
01:03Oh, yeah.
01:03Oh, there we go.
01:04Oh, yeah.
01:04That's blood, all right.
01:06Did you guys know that in our last Zoom,
01:08I was getting an IV?
01:09Did you see the nurse?
01:11No.
01:11Hello.
01:12Oh, was this where you kept muting your screen?
01:16You probably muted the screen when-
01:18Which one was that?
01:20When we were, like, pinching stuff.
01:21It tastes like-
01:23High Seed Fruit Punch?
01:24High Seed Fruit Punch?
01:24Oh, Flying Punch.
01:25That's, yeah.
01:26That is so-
01:27It's blood.
01:28It tastes so sweet.
01:29Sweet.
01:30It is so sweet.
01:32It's been a while since people have given me juices, and that's sweet.
01:35Can we just do this kind of quietly for-
01:37For 20 minutes and call it an episode?
01:40Folks, this was our first episode of Dimension 20, City Council of Darkness,
01:43and I had a rip-roaring good time.
01:46That party did not go well, huh?
01:48So horny.
01:50What do you mean?
01:50What do you mean?
01:52So horny.
01:53I did nothing wrong.
01:55I did nothing wrong.
01:57Exactly.
01:58I think it went entirely as planned.
02:00Yes.
02:00Oh, my God.
02:02Executed.
02:02Are you getting blood everywhere, bro?
02:04Trying to put it down.
02:05I thought I freaking suged it.
02:07Oh, it's tough.
02:08I just have to hold this the whole time now?
02:11Help.
02:13Fuck.
02:16It was a goddamn delight.
02:19People, I really enjoyed meeting our six characters.
02:24We got to see some really fun stuff with, well, God.
02:28It started with going up in a freight elevator, and it ended with showing up in perpy.
02:33But throughout, we got to eat a missile.
02:35The missile going at the building is so funny.
02:38The missile is crazy.
02:39And just eating it.
02:40It was such an immediate height.
02:41Yeah.
02:41Especially when you two had such a long discussion of like, I don't think I'm even going to use
02:46this.
02:46And also, what does this power do?
02:47I don't really understand it.
02:49It's just a really vague power that it's like you're, it's called the Maw of Armaren or
02:53something, and it's like your mouth turns into a portal of the abyss.
02:57And I was like, Brandon, are you cool if I take this?
03:00I don't even know how I would use it.
03:02Yeah.
03:02What do you think it's normally for?
03:03Like, assuming that it's like you've got like a normal mouth.
03:05Maybe you could like, my thought process was since we're like prowling the night, that
03:11we could be like, all right, finish them off.
03:13And like, she would like swallow someone.
03:14Totally.
03:15Like under the dead.
03:15The reason I took it was to be idealistic but have creepy abilities.
03:20You can pretend to eat regular food.
03:22Yeah.
03:22Oh my gosh, you're so right.
03:25Just inhaling hot dogs.
03:27What a great game.
03:29I thought it would also just be.
03:31I love American baseball.
03:32I think also like if you're up against someone who is like a wrongdoer, you could open your
03:37mouth as a portal to abyss and put like, start to put their leg into it.
03:41And then I wouldn't be able to say, Darkness Man would have to say, do you regret what you
03:46did?
03:46Do you regret?
03:47Because if I tried to say it, it would be.
03:51I'm picturing you kind of look like Zubat.
03:53Yes.
03:54Oh, I totally forgot.
03:56Yeah, yeah, under my mask, I actually do look like Bat Child from the National Enquirer.
04:02Oh, Bat Boy.
04:03Bat Boy.
04:03Oh, yeah.
04:04With like big eyes and like.
04:06Oh, Bat Boy.
04:06What's your guys' dynamic?
04:08Like Batman and Robin.
04:10Okay.
04:11And I think as soon as, because I do think that our characters are legitimately trying
04:15to help people, so when we immediately caused a car crash and destroyed a bunch of people,
04:19I was just like, this is me for this episode, is trying to clean up this mess.
04:24Stay with me.
04:25Stay with me.
04:26Stay with me.
04:26A new person.
04:27You stay with me.
04:28You stay with me.
04:29There's a very funny, by the way, I looked up Maw of Ahriman online, and the very first
04:34thing was a Reddit post saying how to activate Maw of Ahriman and what to do with it.
04:40What to do with it?
04:41It says, I mean, sure, the wiki says open a portal to the abyss, usually within their
04:44mouth, but what is it used for?
04:46Or do you throw trash in your mouth or something?
04:47I've had it for one episode and I ate a missile, so that's what it's supposed to be.
04:52It does skill issue.
04:53Especially as a beastial success, or what was it called?
04:56Oh, yeah, yeah.
04:57Messy Critical.
04:58Messy Critical.
05:13Messy Critical.
05:14I think the world is slowly making it, I'm trying to stop it from hitting my character
05:18sheet.
05:18Can we fly some paper towels over here?
05:20Yeah, I have just an eraser that is, the dam is broken, and it's seeping in past it.
05:27It really is seeping.
05:28It's just really irresponsible.
05:29Drink out of this for all the remaining episodes.
05:32Like, can I just get coffee?
05:33You can refill it with whatever you want.
05:34Can I just get coffee?
05:35A Negroni!
05:35Wait, there's a little, like, a cocktail.
05:39Do you guys still have a Negroni in your skin?
05:42I think do this one.
05:43Whoa.
05:44I think this one you can kind of do the filling.
05:46Thanks to whoever did this.
05:47No, they build it around the juice.
05:48Okay, so there actually is a system.
05:50They put it into the bath.
05:51They freeze the juice.
05:53There actually is a system for this ceremony that I have discovered.
05:56It does not typically let you eat missiles.
05:59But, oh, who doesn't say you can't eat?
06:03There's nothing in the rule books that says more information about it.
06:07There you go, there you go.
06:08By the way, it says you can't eat.
06:09There's a, it must not be allowed.
06:11Specifically.
06:13Does it say, like, what it's for, or, like, what's the meaning?
06:15Um, it allows you, it'll, the, the, the, on a win,
06:19Caster annexed a process that makes their ceremony roll.
06:21On a win, their mouth becomes a flesh withering,
06:22withering, spirit-consuming void until sunrise.
06:25Uh, two aggravated.
06:26Till sunrise.
06:27Two aggravated, yeah.
06:28So there's no way to, like, turn it off.
06:30Well, I was waiting, if we had kept doing the scene,
06:32I wanted to go accident, uh, try and give mouth-to-mouth to someone again.
06:36It's just like, oh, it's good.
06:37You just get, like, sucked into your mouth.
06:38Stay with me!
06:41There's just something about the, I don't know what,
06:45I don't know what, I don't know how you classify it in terms of genre,
06:47but there's just something about the following one piece of logic,
06:53and then immediately everything being so fucked that just tickles me to no end.
06:58Of the, like, smash through a window, land on the street outside,
07:01and being like, I'm not gonna be a dick.
07:03You are going to do a perfect three-point landing.
07:05Like, this is gonna look so sick, fucking, yeah, blam, three-point landing.
07:10And then a plate glass window 25 stories overhead has just shattered.
07:15That's a fucking, that's what you, that's what you fucking have nightmares about.
07:19Like, living in New York is like a fucking air conditioner or a giant window.
07:23Yeah, when they're like, if you throw a penny off the Empire State Building,
07:26you'll kill ten people.
07:28Ten people, it'll fucking ricochet.
07:30Is that really true?
07:31I don't know.
07:32Yeah, is the penny thing real?
07:35Somebody go to New York and do it for real.
07:37Is the penny thing real?
07:39They clip, I don't know if you guys see this.
07:41It doesn't work as, you know, you gotta clip it more.
07:44It actually goes past that.
07:46Don't tell me what to do.
07:47I'm a grown man.
07:48You know what, you gotta zip it.
07:50You gotta zip it.
07:51You gotta clip it more, you guys.
07:52Why did you clip it?
07:55Clip it down.
07:57Clip it.
07:58A penny dropped from the Empire State Building would not kill you.
08:02Yeah.
08:04It cannot reach a velocity capable of entering through your skull.
08:09What would it do?
08:10It would, depending on the air resistance, depending on the angle of approach, it would
08:15either hurt or actually just bounce harmlessly off of you.
08:18Wow.
08:19Well, I have some news for Final Destination Bloodlines.
08:22Yeah.
08:23There you go.
08:23Really?
08:25Actually, it just...
08:26Now, if you dropped thousands of pennies on the Empire State Building...
08:30Are we gonna roll kind of like health or hunger kind of stuff in episode, do you think?
08:35Yeah, we'll do it in episode, yeah, yeah.
08:36Okay, okay.
08:36Because I'm gonna try to get...
08:37We're gonna...
08:37I got some aggravated assault from getting my throat ripped out.
08:41While I was shouting, Banksy, Banksy.
08:43Just getting punched while trying to make excuses for your terrible party is so funny.
08:49And it's like the worst excuse ever.
08:50It was a Banksy!
08:52Have we done that before?
08:53The person does not know.
08:53What?
08:54That it's a Banksy?
08:55I think so.
08:56In my heart, we've done it before.
08:59That's great.
08:59It sounded really familiar.
09:01Yes.
09:01And Banksy's not a performance artist.
09:03I actually think we...
09:04No, you know why I know that we did?
09:06This whole elaborate act out.
09:08The adventuring party that came out, people were like,
09:11Wow, Siobhan mentioned the Highbury Vaults,
09:13which is the archaeology bar that had a Banksy on the side of it.
09:17Yes.
09:18I mean, I think it's a perfectly succinct excuse.
09:23I think so, too.
09:23And you're saying it to a person who doesn't understand the internet,
09:26so I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what we said.
09:29The idea of watching Count Orlok, like Nosferatu,
09:34with an Oculus on his head, decapitated...
09:36Peter Thiel.
09:37Peter Thiel.
09:37Yes.
09:38And be like, it's a Banksy.
09:40It's a Banksy.
09:41It's a Banksy.
09:42It's cultural commentary.
09:44Peter Thiel's head just rolled over your new balances.
09:46This is a Banksy.
09:48And it somehow worked out, but no one's seen that dude again.
09:51Seven successes on that roll is crazy.
09:53That's crazy.
09:53That was great.
09:54That was awesome.
09:55Brennan, really good tech billionaire voice.
09:57Yeah, that was awesome.
09:59The one who was like, there will be no humans in 20...
10:02I have listened to a podcast with that exception.
10:04Oh, yeah.
10:05I really hope that people know that I put the most disgusting monster I possibly could into this episode and
10:14Reverend.
10:14Those were the two...
10:16Yes.
10:16Yeah.
10:16The fucking gray sweater tech guy.
10:18The second Davis...
10:19I find so much...
10:20Yeah, Davis Utherman.
10:21When he died, I was like, oh, that...
10:23Because the whole time you were setting up, I was like, this guy is insane.
10:26I wrote it down and I was like, is he going to be part of some conspiracy?
10:29And then when you just killed him right away, I was like, oh, right.
10:32A satisfying first death.
10:34It was very hard not to interrupt that scene and go, wow, who's the real vampire, huh?
10:39I know all of them talking about fucking New Zealand...
10:43The fucking New Zealand compounds.
10:44I've watched so much shit about the New Zealand compounds.
10:46It's crazy.
10:47Allegedly.
10:48It's wild.
10:49Allegedly.
10:49They're out there.
10:50They're out there.
10:51The bunker businesses have been interviewed.
10:53There's just something about that where you watch a guy...
10:57You drink yours?
10:58No, I have to hold back.
11:00Don't give me another one.
11:01Your tongue is bright red.
11:04Come on, let me hit that.
11:05Dude, let me hit that.
11:07Do you want it?
11:08Yeah, I got that hunger, Murph.
11:10And be so careful.
11:11Hey, clipit.com.
11:12Be so careful, dude.
11:13I was amazed.
11:14I was really delighted by how villainous everybody was, except for our two superheroes.
11:22For part of that, we did cause as much damage.
11:27I mean, I literally dropped villainous.
11:29You just slacked the tires on the ambulance.
11:30It is too safe.
11:31The idea of an ambulance hitting Murph.
11:35And then Bat-child throws knives and just goes...
11:38And you just see someone through a window.
11:40Yeah, I'm just thinking of...
11:41I'm thinking of an ambulance making a hard, quick turn and getting its outside tire.
11:47Like, all the weight is on the right tires.
11:49And the front right tire, bam, pop, just immediately lurched into the turn.
11:55Thank you for stopping.
11:57Thank you for stopping.
11:58It's just kind of...
11:58It intercepted an ambulance for someone else.
12:00It's just like stopping in a Batman movie of being like, what happened to the two cars that crashed when
12:05the Batmobile spit in front of everyone?
12:08It's just like, that's where we live.
12:10That's where we live.
12:10If someone's life is fucking over, someone has bad whiplash, is going to be fired, cannot go to work anymore.
12:17Like, yeah, the...
12:18Well, they're a superhero now, so they've got a new job.
12:20Yeah, that's really cool.
12:22God only knows what's going to happen.
12:24Superheroes.
12:25We just left loose ends everywhere after that scene.
12:28I think I feel jealous.
12:30I mean, like, you guys haven't seen it, but it's like Bat-child and Darkness Man.
12:33It was kind of like I was his protege, and now he just made, like, an actual real...
12:39Oh, because you're not the sire?
12:41Because he's not my sire.
12:42A ghost bat made me.
12:44Right.
12:45We've established you're not a vampire.
12:46You're half human, half bat.
12:48Exactly.
12:49That's, like, another hurdle, so now I think I genuinely feel jealous.
12:53So you're like, I'm not a vampire, but we watched your jaw hinge, and you ate a missile.
12:58And go, I'm a half bat.
13:00You know the bats?
13:01Like how a bat eat, like...
13:04You guys have seen the, like, the flying foxes?
13:07I mean, I did say zoobat or gold bat.
13:10I thirst for blood!
13:11Like a bat!
13:12Like a bat!
13:12Like a vampire bat.
13:13I'm just really craving justice right now.
13:16I think my hunger, my five hunger levels right now are jealousy levels.
13:23I'm your new sidekick.
13:27He's not even here.
13:29I do love that bad child is, like, somebody who's, like, they're just dehydrated, but they're, like, it's everything else.
13:34Yeah, totally.
13:35Oh, no, I don't need, I don't need water at all.
13:37It's just, you've got to understand.
13:39It's a genetic thing.
13:40I have a gene mutation.
13:41Yeah, exactly.
13:43I have to do a kitchen cleanse.
13:46You're like, just drink water.
13:48The choice to carry around a scepter is so focused.
13:51Oh, my God!
13:52Did you crack that eight ball?
13:52Did you even get that eight ball into the eight ball?
13:55Hitting an eight ball?
13:56No white ball.
13:57No white ball.
13:58Without even hitting it.
13:59No cute ball.
13:59It was, like, a power move and not a power move at the same time, which made it more of
14:03a power move.
14:04Yes.
14:04I was somewhat impressive who also doesn't know what pool is.
14:09I feel like I've been in this situation so many times where, like, someone who had that status over me
14:14did something super stupid, and you had to be, like, cool.
14:18Cool, man.
14:19Yeah, the idea, again, of walking into the middle of their game and just hitting the eight ball with a
14:24scepter into the corner pocket, of being, like, I have to go out on a high note, grab for any
14:30loose straw.
14:31Yes.
14:31Got it.
14:32Boom, bam, like, ruin the game.
14:34It was great.
14:35Are those people going to be with us?
14:37I have new vampire, or, like, new people in the Roteish.
14:42I don't know if, I mean, that'll be.
14:44Devin, Molly, et cetera.
14:45Devin, Molly, Danny.
14:47And what about all of Zaythe's crew?
14:50We had, like.
14:51Oh, yeah, Long John Silver.
14:52Long John Silver.
14:52Long John Silver.
14:54Whoever rolls through.
14:56The evolution of Long John Silver from being an actual fisherman to a guy that people take pictures with to
15:04someone else's ghoul.
15:06Ghoul, yeah.
15:07It's funny when you're in a position.
15:08I'm going to fuck tonight.
15:10We're all going to fuck tonight.
15:12I like being in a position where I'm trying to play, like, an unusual point of view, and then someone
15:17else says something so insane that I then have to clarify.
15:20Yeah, you're like, wait, wait, wait.
15:21Sorry, what?
15:22Long John Silver is, he was, and I have to explain.
15:26Well, you said he's a longshoreman, right?
15:27Yeah.
15:28Yeah.
15:28Oh, my God.
15:28I think you said a couple longshoremen.
15:30No, no, you said long fisherman.
15:31Long fisherman.
15:32Long fisherman.
15:32Which is.
15:33I think I said longshoreman.
15:36No, you might have said long fisherman.
15:37I think you said long fisherman.
15:38I was sitting right next to you.
15:41Long fisherman, and then it became O'Long Johnson.
15:43We're like, oh, no, no.
15:46Yeah.
15:47Fisherman for sure from Sky.
15:49So long fisherman.
15:50Hell no.
15:51Hell no.
15:52But, yeah.
15:54Having Kenny be like, I met you 20 minutes ago.
15:58Yeah, Zayt was so insane.
16:01Throwing him into the helicopter was so good.
16:04And then he got swallowed up in the mouth.
16:05He got sucked into the mouth instead.
16:06Into the mouth as well.
16:08Finally going to heaven.
16:10No.
16:11You're in a.
16:12Drifting the oblivion.
16:13You're in the abyss, and a missile will be following you for all eternity.
16:16Just behind a tomahawk missile.
16:18Getting burned by it forever.
16:22Yeah, he thinks he's in hell, but he finds out he's just been eternally behind an active missile.
16:29Insane.
16:30I also like the idea, though, that we might have just said, like, we don't know what the abyss is.
16:34So we just essentially open fire on another plane.
16:38Is there another person who can open up their mouth, and whatever is in the abyss will come out?
16:41Yeah, it goes to perpy, Oregon.
16:43Yeah, it goes to perpy, Oregon.
16:44What did you say, Zach, to your side?
16:46It was the wind.
16:48Yeah.
16:48It was the wind, man.
16:50Just such, like, a shitty teenager.
16:52Totally.
16:52It was my fucking father.
16:53With, like, seemingly the most noble father.
16:56Right.
16:56Yes.
16:56This guy has smashed so, like, punched so many walls.
17:00You just know, like, three a day, just the drywall is crumbled.
17:03It pisses me off, because I was supposed to go that way.
17:04And then our upper crusties got really, really into it.
17:09Oh, yeah.
17:10Like, poor Madelaine, who is now...
17:12He's not my fault.
17:13He's not my fault.
17:13He's not the...
17:15But we'll have to work.
17:19Brutal.
17:20And then H.J., our good friend H.J., Herbert Jean Walk...
17:25Herbert Jean Wingstreet.
17:27Herbert Jean Wingstreet.
17:28There's a lot of...
17:29A party from a glass office.
17:33Also, like, that description is actually...
17:36I feel like I've seen that listing before, and it's an ugly apartment.
17:39Totally.
17:40It's, like, all...
17:41It's, like, brutalist, but then there's, like, a lot of, like, glass placement that's, like, really voyeuristic.
17:46It's that, like, kind of, like, you can be as rich as you want, but you'll never have taste.
17:51Totally, totally, totally.
17:52Yeah.
17:52You can drive your motorcycle right into your apartment.
17:55Yes.
17:55Do you want to talk about, like, the journey you went on with naming your character?
17:59Yeah, yeah.
18:00Specifically the initials.
18:01Well, I think Herbert Jean came to me in a dream.
18:06It's gorgeous.
18:07And I think I just wanted to go by initials kind of, like, HW.
18:12Yeah.
18:15Who am I thinking?
18:16Plainview?
18:17Yeah.
18:17What are you talking about?
18:18And instead, I landed on HJ.
18:21Yeah.
18:22Well, because originally you were, like, I'm going to be HW Street.
18:27HW Wingstreet.
18:28But...
18:28Because my character...
18:30But my real initials are HJ.
18:32Yeah.
18:33But I don't want anyone to know that.
18:33But an intern told me that that's a dirty thing now.
18:37A thousand years later.
18:39I think HJ Wingstreet...
18:41Let me get that, though.
18:41Let me get that.
18:42Dude, what?
18:42Oh, my God, dude.
18:45Do you not feed me blood no matter what day?
18:47Yes, exactly.
18:48It's close, man.
18:49It's close.
18:50It's close.
18:50You got to unclip.
18:51You got to unclip.
18:52Honestly, I needed to be close.
18:54Oh, my God.
18:55I just wanted a little something.
18:58Well, we had that.
18:59And then, poor Levante.
19:01All of your dreams.
19:02Everything was so within reach.
19:03It was so close.
19:04We truly were so close.
19:06That's crazy.
19:07You guys think so funny about Lou with the positive attitude?
19:11The bowl is rolling up.
19:12The bowl...
19:12Yep, yep.
19:13It's where I like to be, you know?
19:14I actually felt relieved, though, because as we were getting to Purpy, I was like, actually,
19:18I think I'm fucking excited to be here.
19:20Yeah, I was going to say, I feel like our...
19:20I was sitting there being like, fuck, everyone's really mad, and this is good.
19:23I was thinking that about your guys' character, because it's like, Omaha, take two.
19:27Like, you can do it right this time.
19:28You call it the Omaha of Oregon?
19:30Yes.
19:31Yeah, but then I was like, oh, no, but there's a good thing going, so I'm going to sit on
19:35this.
19:35But then when you got excited at the end, I was like, okay, I'm going to be able to get
19:39in on this.
19:40Goddamn.
19:40Are pure bloods a thing?
19:41I just stole that from Blade.
19:43But is that real?
19:44I think it's perfectly...
19:45Can vampires have kids?
19:47It's perfectly acceptable.
19:48Pure bloods could just be referring to heightened blood potency, which lower-generation vampires tend to have.
19:55Right?
19:55I love the screen, how it looks like the forced perspective of like...
20:00Yeah, it does.
20:01It's going further away.
20:02Yeah, it's very button-esque.
20:04Yeah, it's very...
20:04Well, I think there's a lot of like, for the season ahead, now that we sort of know...
20:08Like, we had this great first episode, which really was prologue, of how badly you guys all fucked up in
20:14San Francisco.
20:15To then be kind of green...
20:17The whole thing of this was like, green acres...
20:19To me, though, it was the joke of vampires really only make sense in a London, or a Paris, or
20:27a Berlin, or a New York.
20:29And then to be like, but if the Camarillo is a truly global institution, who's holding it down in Purpy?
20:37And the answer is the six of you.
20:39Small-town vampires.
20:41Small-town vampires is so...
20:42For now.
20:43For now.
20:44Hey.
20:45Exactly.
20:45You know what used to be small?
20:47London.
20:48Do you want to know the right mindset, though?
20:49It's not, I need to get...
20:51I need to build this up to then get to the bigger city.
20:53I need to make this the big city.
20:55That's the mindset change.
20:56That's crazy.
20:57That's the grind set.
20:58I like that.
20:58That's the grind set.
21:00That's great.
21:01That's great, dude.
21:01Yeah, I will be going back to a big city as soon as I can, and grifty on whoever else.
21:06Well, we'll see if you can do so without getting the blood hunt called on you, as the Camarillo has
21:12demanded that you establish vampiric domain here in Purpy, Oregon, which we will embark on this most dangerous mission.
21:21Next week, on another episode of Dimension 20, City Council of Darkness.
21:25See you in the night.
21:26See you in the night.
21:30See you in the night.
