Okay- we've had all these AU ideas, but hear this...

What if the characters from each campaign were swapped with characters from another?

Riz is suddenly a rat king while Cugrash is tossed into being a detective.

Fig suddenly has all the power of a candy princess while Jet is living the band life.

All I'm saying is that it could be interesting....

I Study The Scene In Front Of The Bus The Way I Studied My Letters In School. Gradually I Begin To Make

I study the scene in front of the bus the way I studied my letters in school. Gradually I begin to make out a kind of order in all the disorderness, a pattern to it all. It is like a river, where the currents of buses and trucks and people and animals flow into and around each other. If you look hard enough, chaos turns into order the way letters turn into words

The Unsleeping City: Chapter 2

I just finished this season last night and wow this was such a cool fucking season. The first season was the first campaign I watched for Dimension 20 before I got the dropout subscription and quickly fell in love with everyone.

This season was so heartwrenching and had so many wholesome moments. I'm so glad that all of the characters had such wonderful character arches that really fleshed them out even more than the first season did. Plus all of this insane worldbuilding of this world that both is a real place but also this underbelly of the city going into fantastical realms really just expanded so much this time around.

Also, all of the research that Brennan and the team went into for the sobriety roles that Pete and Sofie were having to do. It was a nice touch for that realism and a bit of a callback for Adaine in Fantasy High. I really love just how much they dive right into research for things like sobriety and it just shows how much they care about showing these realities that everyone faces.

I absolutely love how everything tied up in the end. Between decimating the hold that Gladiator was gaining on New York and banishing Null back to the deeper dreaming really encapsulated just how powerful believing in your community and believing in yourself really is. We always joke and note that Brennan somehow always is anti-capitalist and brings that into the campaigns he DMs, but I think it brings up the best point of it all. How so much stronger the common person is when they have that chance to grab their dreams and goals with the help of others like them doing the same thing than any corporate entity ever could think of doing.

It was a beautiful season and will stand in the spot with season 1 as one of my all-time favorite campaigns thus far.

Now, I am off in the world of mischief and magic with the beautiful Aabria. I can't wait to tell you all about my reaction to it.

I can't believe I have to just live my life like I didn't just see an impromptu pro-wrestling match in the middle of a D&D game.

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.

Imagine Kingston was an actor when he was younger so he was in this movie and they actually get Lou to just come in to set for one day and play a young Kingston, playing a weird character 

Ally Beardsley, sitting in the Never Stop Blowing Up dome, looking toward the ceiling with a hand slightly raised. They are speaking, and the caption reads, "(all laughing) Thank you, Kingston."

Lou Wilson and Brennan Lee Mulligan in two separate Zoom screens, from The Unsleeping City: Chapter II. Lou is speaking as Kingston Brown, and the caption reads "I don't leave New York."

wherever he is.

God... I don’t even know if this is a spoiler because it’s like... the first two or three episodes

But Spoiler warning TUC Season 1, I guess

Listen, maybe my own experiences as a trans guy living in a conservative small town- whose big thing is that I wanna move back to the city so I can start over away from everything and just disappear- jumping out right now...

But Pete’s character so far, and the little bit of backstory we’ve gotten- but held up against him being the Vox Phantasma— the literal voice and keeper of all the dreams and aspirations of everyone who’s ever came there is something that can just be so beautiful and personal...

Listen, I started watching The Unsleeping City, and can I just say

Everything that happens to Pete is SO cinematographically pleasing and pretty- and Brennan is SUCH a good story teller- god I wanna actually see that shit...
