You should say you're in your cold open era 😂

I'm surprised there hardly any comments. Glad I stumble on these recaps. Perfect to catch up to what's currently happening

that is 100 percent a joke emily would make, her or caldwell

The vanishment sound effect was on point

I lost my shit hearing Whitestone is for Lovers 😂😂😂

People are forgetting about Taryon, he wasn’t small.

I've never understood why people think these "side quest" episodes are a bad thing!! In my opinion, they expand the lore and backstory, and i love them. Im in no hurry for this campaign to be over, and the more backstory i get, the more i like it.

Just wondering - in the fireside chat Marisha mentioned Liam not being in this Downfall segment because he’s working on something else with her: maybe Keyleth is gonna go bust Vax out of his ball 👀 maybe… that might be cool…

Nick Marini isn’t in just any home game with Brennan, it’s a 15-year 3.5e campaign (according to an episode of Adventuring Academy with Marini as the guest)! They’ve been friends since they met as kids at a LARP camp where they both eventually worked for some time. Marini was also in Cobra Kai on Netflix. I’m so incredibly stoked that Brennan is bringing one of his LARP friends into the TTRPG sphere ☺️

Sam played Taryon Darrigton in the first campaign. He also mentioned in the cool down that his starting characters have all been influenced by Liam, but any subsequent characters he's played have been his ideas. So, he hasn't always played small characters, just his starting characters have all tended to be small.

One recap quibble: was it or was it not Teven (as played by Matt) that actually finished killing the Dominox? I _think_ this is the second time Matt has gotten a HDYWTDT on one of his own major monsters [at a live show?…].

I wonder if they could somehow use the soul anchor to remove or tether Delilah’s soul. We still don’t know how that bond works, like does laudna die if they remove Delilah or does Delilah’s soul need to just be intact for laudna to be alive? If the ladder is somewhat closer to correct then maybe they can remove her soul and keep the anchor close to laudna so it still keeps her alive but Delilah can’t influence laudna anymore? I don’t know but it’s definitely intriguing

Hey, you guys love GDQ too?! 😀 you guys got any favourite runs or shows they run? My favourite is the speed runs from the crypt! Love the horror segments. Funnily enough, both GDQ and CR have both dragged me away from some dark places I've been at in my past. Thanks for the heads up, completely forgot SGDQ is coming up. Hope you had fun at the live show, definitely one to remember- what a show even to watch as a vod 😄 edit: I have 1 hour left of calamity... holy balls its incredible, cant wait to see what brennan does 😄

Marisha had a fireside chat on Beacon that mentions why Liam was not involved in this Calamity. It came down to the fact that Marisha and Liam are involved in something, CR related?, else at the moment and didn't have the time to be in this one.

Welp we got another... LIGHT. So ready for Downfall.

Dungeons and dragons started as a collaborative game. And it became co-opted by capitalist division and divisiveness. Competition ran supreme for a long time, and I think it hurts fans and creators alike to treat this form of media that way. It is nice to see a return to collaborative storytelling and a concept of working together to build these stories.

Your show and WWW should be discussed over all the nerdvervese!

I can not wait for your discussion about E 29.

Wait! I went into the comments and there was nothing…. That wont do.

Good god, you not only have to go to a FOUR day wedding, but on top of that they're already married?? So it's not even a real wedding. That's insane. Good luck, that sounds like hell.

I interpreted the palace as a description of the way the machine can show its contents. Like a big collective mind palace where the history of Aeor - its people, its life, its ending - is kept. A memory bank containing the equivalent of cctv footage of Aeor. This could even mean that the next arc will be telling the story in brief flashes of different events. As if each "room" of this palace is a different story that we can experience and this would also be leaving a lot of space for next exploration of the palace/machine. I was also hoping that maybe we would meet FCG(?) or somebody that knows him... would be heartbraking and beautiful at the same time. And very interesting.

One thing I hope doesn't happen is that people in the party start agreeing with Ludinus as a result of this memory exploration. Like Thanos in the Avengers. He can spout all the greater good BS he wants; at the end of the day he has crimes he needs to answer for. The deaths of Orym's family are inexcusable.

all that money you guys have been pocketing over the years from that music is insane. glad youtube finally got you guys. btw, The Witcher Season 2 when?

The Patrick Stewart bit I think you mean if from 'Extras' where he plays a horned up version of himself who is trying to make a 'movie'

I think you guys are on the right track with there has to be something much darker and nefarious than, this civilization wants to kill us so we kill them first. If I was showed just that reasoning I would think big deal, that makes sense to me, that’s what I’d do if it was me or them.

Liam is doing an upcoming project with Marisha. So he's sitting out Downfall, but Marisha said he had an idea if they do Calamity 3

Also after binging all of WWW, I can not wait for these next three episodes, even though I am entitled and impatient and want to just get back to the Bell’s Hells. I went from turning off EXU Calamity after 20 minutes, to now it is going to be the next thing I watch. Keep up the great work.

For Braius and his "human"-looking face yes, he's probably from a mixed ancestry. And it is known that Minotaurs can interbreed with other races in Exandria, so it's definitely possible that Braius has one parent minotaur and the other human.

I wonder if Ludnis has winged boots or some other magic item that grants him flight, or has he figured out a way to concentrate on two spells at the same time?

Oh, they were soo exausted XD

I don’t get it can someone explain what’s happening?

i Dont get it!??

ashley went from "shh😒" to "stop it🤨" lmaooo

So with Aeor, sincenits dueing calamity, will we get to hear or see the only survivor, if he lived that long, from Avalier?

They said that this memory attracts everyone that's in the city. It records their thoughts, actions, and legit everything. This is gonna be wild.

0:43 in this moment they realized what they did. They allowed this to happen. Props to Sam! He set that UP. Also, did anyone else think Matt was going to dump his drink on Sams' head?

I feel like Brennan HAS to start Downfall with "Air". He started it, it is fitting he completes it.

Hecaea doesn’t have an apprentice, neither does Mirara

I love the bit where Travis is like "No, don't do it" as if Matt is their mother about to bring out her belt to discipline her children. 🤣

Now I’m all caught up! Man this sucks!!!

As a DM I was too lax my first time and now I've found the way to do this but honestly the rule of cool is way more important to me than RAW. If your player or players come up with something unique or weird or something totally bizarre like....within reason, as long as it doesn't break the whole game? Why the hell not? Let people have fun! That's the whole point of the game!

I have watched their and Abriya's DM roundtable so so many times. The genius. All beautifully inventive and learned in their own ways. All different ways of storytelling. All do bathroom time. lol I love them each and all together the brilliance is unmatched.

Sleep does not require a saving throw. But slow does.

You have to understand that it is a three person party with one tank and two squishies. It kind of makes sense, Brennen, is powering up the martial character, to keep him up to power with the casters.

That spells pronunciation is tough, I have always pronounced it GAY-S. Like the word gay with an s sound at the end.

My favorite DM I ever had would give out your character’s signature BA homebrewed magic item early in your adventuring career. He just didn’t like the idea of giving it towards the higher levels, because he thought that you should be able to use it through out your adventures, not just for the last few encounters.

Falcor the Luck Dragon was awesome!

Starts at 4:40

Where Air at?

Liam briefly being possessed by the spirit of Caleb yelling “You can shove that 9th level spell up your ass”
