This small moment right here is a master DM introducing a small moment of levity to his players who feel like they've suffered true loss and are lamenting what happened to them and their party. He isn't forcing it and disrupting the narrative. He isn't suggesting everyone should laugh for the sake of production. And the players take it and run with it so smoothly that it feels like they never transitioned out of character.

[@jayclement3581]

They did suffer a true loss...especially siobhan and lou

[@tabaxi]

I remember the first time I watched this I fully thought this jellybean farmer was some sort of trap or assassin that's how scarred i was at this point

[@ordinarytree4678]

Saaaaame

[@manticorephoenix]

Instead it was just a guy who was pleased to have company until being chased by a massive grieving barbarian

[@uhkingdom]

lmao yeah at this point i didn't trust fucking anybody

[@turinmormegil7715]

@@manticorephoenix imagine going by your field day, thinking you're HERE IN THE FIELDS alone, slipping and falling on your bum, and that you're talking just to yourself, to then realize you have Company, but they immediately charge at you just cuz you greeted them. It's uncalled for. Poor lil Guy, one kinda feels bad for him when looking from his point of view.

[@detonationdusk365]

Lou’s run just KILLS ME

[@Fizzlethe6th]

Amathar is HUGE! Lou's run just cements this visual of Amathar attempting to charge this little gumdrop farmer like a furious rhino. lol

[@marcellusowens8401]

At that moment, Siobhan had channelled the spirit of the fortified stronghold that was Katie Marovich, but when Lou went charging, the connection was severed like a wifi signal that goes off cause your bill's due

[@akshatdubey7904]

powerful imagery in this comment

[@thiscertainperson12]

This one of the funniest moments in the whole season. The way Brennan just adds too much detail to this little gumdrop farmer, is just *chef’s kiss*!

[@KomodoCondo]

Can you make a clip of Cumulous crying over the relics?

[@erikabautista7072]

YES please! That was one of the highlights of this episode for me 😂

[@puck6080]

Or cumulous crying over anything magically

[@TheMagicienWorld]

Yes I’m looking everywhere for just this bit :’) I love it so much, great improvisation on Zac’s part 😂

[@seanmcgcostumes]

The one dislike on this video is from the gumdrop farmer.

[@ironwithin3875]

That poor little sweetling

[@Cross177]

I know this is a sad moment, but I honestly thought the farmer was gonna be a character in line with The Cubbys

[@benselander1482]

I feel like there was a bit more to this scene, where the farmer was counting “one little jelly bean… two little jelly beans” and so on.

[@ren576]

i was like ‘oh when was this’ and it started and i just thought ‘ohhh nooo

[@kirkcannon8079]

I wouldn’t mind a spiritual sequel to this campaign, it was really good. Maybe a Monopoly or Life style campaign.

[@highlander6100]

How about a direct prequel?

[@turbobrony1472]

There's a direct prequel of Crown of Candy, being the Ravening War, the Matt Mercer as the Dungeon Master of that story!

[@marlofurgeson5771]

Why isn’t this an animated series?!?

[@Blattella]

as much as d20 fully animated would absolutely slap, it being largely theatre of the mind allows these two hour long episodes to get pushed out much faster and more consistently than if they were fully animated

[@CanansNest]

I always struggle to imagine spellcasting translating well into an animation. Also, most combat scenes technically last under 30 seconds since each turn is 6 seconds and everybody is supposed to be acting "at once". However, I think the length of combat is easy to fix, but the spells still stump me.

[@rhysbailey6827]

@@CanansNest just think anime

[@CalculusPhysics]

animated series are incredibly hard to make, plus the whole point of D&D is to imagine everything

[@adrianke77]

might happen if d20 was on youtube with no subscription gate, allowing for a much larger audience who might support a kickstarter like CR did.

[@loreweed8882]

when i imaginen the jelly bean farmer all i can think of is the farmer from the "elephant garden"

[@waterbarron7540]

What about the bean countinf

[@edwardfrench9368]

So were all in agreement that that's plumpy, right?

[@pangolian217]

my man Amethar about to just straight murder a man over some jellybeans

[@shridharbiju7370]

@@turinmormegil7715 Yeah but it really broke the tension of like the character death in that moment

[@rodanandme]

ppl really get on Ally during this funeral for adding levity over Preston, meanwhile, Brennan drops all of his jellybeans

[@MegaNightmare4]

For me, Ally was the saving grace of this season. Personally, I kind of roll my eyes a little when a D&D game gets too heavy. Like, for all the best acting and storytelling in the world, it's still a group of nerds sitting at a table playing make believe. I need a joke once in a while to keep things in check. So Ally doing their shenanigan's and and keeping things light was a necessity for me, to be sure.

[@-hayleymc_is_tired-5038]

It was perfect they all loved it when discussing it on adventuring party

[@TheDrexxus]

@@MegaNightmare4 Hard disagree for me. I feel there are almost no stories left that take themselves seriously. Across all media, its like modern audiences want every character to be some wise cracking jokester who makes quips even as their friends are dying or the world is facing destruction. No one takes anything seriously anymore. Life threatening situations that would have people freeze in fear or run or shit themselves and instead you got some guy making a joke about it. And there may be some people that use humor as a coping mechanism for fear and trauma, but not every single damn person and there isn't one in every single group of heroes, adventurers, or whatever. Or at least, there shouldn't be. Its refreshing to me when some stories do take themselves seriously and treat situations with the gravity they deserve.

[@spinshocker]

@@TheDrexxus my guy this is a clip from a comedy D&D show about sentient candy taking part in their own version of Game of Thrones. If you want modern stories that take themselves seriously, watch Better Call Saul or Arcane. This person’s point was that in a story and context so inherently absurd, it’s nice to have a player like Ally make nods to that absurdity.

[@jsjsjsjjdkbbddd]

@@spinshocker Better Call Saul has tons of comedy in it too, every story should have a balance of humour and seriousness imo

[@sinasapit]

SUCH an underappreciated and controversial moment

[@Beau74]

Controversial? Why controversial?

[@Nortarachanges]

Brennan gets sooo specific here for some reason ^_^

[@azayrian1052]

My guess was he was trying to lighten the mood and also still show the absurdity of the land.

[@jimmy_the_squid9456]

Adding a bit of levity to a heavy scene

[@he.said.teenjiejer]

brennan just trying to cheer them up, just a wee little bit, is so wholesome

[@turbobrony1472]

Someone make an animatic of this scene! Got me in hysterics!

[@vigilantScrivener]

The cherry on top is this exchange occurs over the distance of an 8th of a mile (220 yds, 201 meters) so they have this conversation across the length of over two football fields.

[@myrandajo9280]

this is one of my favorite brennan moments i think about it all the time

[@עילישני]

One lil jelly bean...

[@misti-step]

thank u for this!!
