Leiland, is that you?

In ep 19 of Cloho we get this interaction:

Brennan: One of your crew members, Jackway St. Niles, comes up and says, Jackway: I've fallen in love. Olethra: Okay. [Murph laughing] Marya: You are the main character of this story. Jackway: I gotta go. Maxwell: Goddamn it. Ally: Oh my. Who did he fall in love with? Can we see? Marya: There goes another main character to the story. Brennan: He says, Jackway: I've fallen love with a- Van: Which one of these guys did you fall in love with? Jackway: A really scary soldier in a red cloak. Marya: Wow. Olethra: Oh yeah. Yeah. That one's scary. Jackway: Yeah. Marya: Okay. Siobhan: That's hot. That's hot. Yeah. No face. Just a steel formless mask. Brennan: Yeah, that guy back there. Daisuke: He's got a huge sword. Ally: Shredder vibes. Siobhan: Yes. Absolutely Shredder vibes.

And the art that is zoomed in on from the panorama is this guy

And like.

That sure looks like it could be Kraz-Thun, leader of the Vinguri, with a uniform change.

Anyway, I am choosing to believe that this is an Escape from the Bloodkeep crossover.

Escape From The Bloodkeep is not my favorite Dimension 20 series (not a jab whatsoever—the fact that a campaign this good falls low on the list is a testament to how amazing Dimension 20 is), but it is the most interesting to me, which is why I always go back to it.

Looking past the stunning comedy for that season, what’s amazing is their portrayal of “evil.” Evilness is not just suffering or malice for the sake of hurting others. It’s not stripping others of their rights or humanity (“but we understand consent!”) It’s not even being mean. The most sadistic character of all was shut down just for being an annoying little dude. The side of evil had nearly identical goals to that of the “Forces of Light”, it’s just that their goals and ideals have a veneer that is associated with darkness. Anything they wanted that was in direct conflict with what the Forces of Light wanted was typecasted as “bad.”

Thus, evil became simply the opposition to perceived “good”, or the normal and the status quo of the bureaucratic ruling class. The sub-meta commentary on how many of the goals or decisions of the “good side” are actually harmful, but are merely portrayed as justice because people like them are treated as an enemy, was amazing all throughout. Leiland was right. “Everyone has a line”, and the cast drawing that line through group improvisation was amazing because you could clearly see halfway through the episodes what the values of the forces of evil actually were.

Day 22: Ghost. Hey so Kraz-thun's armor is beautiful and intricate and also a personal nightmare for me. I humbly offer this simplified and cartoony-ass version because no way in hell I was rendering those details. #dimension20 #d20 #escapefromthebloodkeep #krazthun #undead #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dandd #inktober2019 #inktober #inktoberday22 #ghost #digitalart #fanart #warlock https://www.instagram.com/p/B38Doxvl4B7/?igshid=93f34r34q491
