Made a lil fanart of the DnD episode from All Fantasy Everything’s Patreon. So fucking funny. Here’s Burp Hurtmurder, Jabari McCoy, and Mindrick Highstore. Was really in the zone for the first two, sort of got wobbly with Mindrick 🥲 Can’t recommend their show enough, def worth the sub.

Performer, comedian and Game Master Brennan Lee Mulligan is here to prove that D&D is more interesting than the movie musical Grease. Th

This is one of the funniest podcast episode's I have ever listened to. And yes I am incredibly biased for Brennan Lee Mulligan, the chemistry with Eric and Adal is also incredibly infectious and so fun. Also included my favorite part where Brennan explains what he loves so much about Dungeons and Dragons and it is beautiful.

Please enjoy!

Eric Silver: What is a perfect encapsulation of dungeons in dragons if someone asks you; "Well what's an example of why you love this thing so much?” What would you say?

Brennan Lee Mulligan: Within the game Dungeons and Dragons there is a marriage of three things going on; There is a dungeon master who has a world and a setting that they've populated with challenges and characters and some kind of plot line. There are players playing these heroic characters and then there are the dice and the dice are a neutral emotionless arbiter of random chance.

And especially for people like myself an adult who has a background in improv we're used to not having those things be adjudicated, right? It's just due to the collaboration ‘-and yes-ending’ of the partners on stage and that's beautiful. I love improv and I will always love improv and that perfect free form role playing.

What is beautiful about the dice is it means you are improvising with someone that you know doesn't care about you and it makes risk and heartbreak and danger…

Adal Rifai: I'm sorry. I'm crying. You, I never realized DnD is unrequited love. Unrequited love with the dice that don't care about you.

Brennan Lee Mulligan: In a moment where you're in an improv scene and something has the emotional resonance of hanging in the balance. You know that it's not really hanging in the balance because there's a human being across the stage from you who you trust who also wants the show to be as good as possible so it's never hanging in the balance. It's just the illusion of it hanging in the balance.

But there's a moment at a gaming table where everyone looks around and they all want the characters to survive. And instead of allowing any of the human beings who have invested months or years into the survival of that character to have a say in their ultimate fate, that fate is handed over to the inscrutable faceless prognostications of small plastic polyhedral dice-

Adal Rifai: Have that sewn into a pillow Eric! I want that I want that in a pillow by tomorrow.

Eric Silver: I'm flipping it (the pillow) over.

Brennan Lee Mulligan: -and as the dice rises into the air there is a moment of surrender to whatever is to come and the emotional resonance of being forced in a story of your own telling. To be ejected from the seat of the ‘storyteller’ and rocketed into the seat of audience member. To a tale of your own devising and to watch that plinkety-planking little D20 roll around. And in the moment of your most dire need you see two numbers; a two and a zero and when that Nat 20 comes up when, it was the only number that could save you the entire table erupts in a moment of triumph and joy and sweet relief. There is no high I have experienced in life like when the whole table knows it's what they need and somehow with only a five percent chance you all get it. Sweet, sweet joy.

“I play D&D at least once a week. But there’s a lot of coded antisemitism in this game that @Wizards_DnD needs to address if they actual

Hey guys! Eric Silver just posted an article he wrote about the antisemitism that is laced into the foundation of the canon for D&D. He is a Jewish podcaster, one of his shows is a D&D podcast called Join the Party

I've seen people talk about this stuff before, so give his article a read and maybe boost it around a bit! It comes from someone who is Jewish and has been a dungeon master and played DnD for a while, so he knows his stuff! It highlights some of the things that people might not realize are appropriated that they can change in their own games, and what we need to hold Wizards United accountable for, what they need to change not just bury deeper
