Lou Wilson Is A National Treasure

[@SaltySweetMerm]

I absolutely loved how Lou was like: nah, I don't care if this isn't Dimension 20, I'm still gonna give Brennan ALL the shit. He isn't safe here. Respect the DM? Nah. How many dice is that, you fuck??? If it's more than 30, you're a cheater. 😂😂😂 Lou is 1000% a national godsdamn treasure

“What kind of weird homebrew bullshit is this, you fuck?!” - Kingston Brown, The Unsleeping City.

[@danhays307]

“The sphinx is pitching alts on his roar.” - Brennan knew he would break the whole table with that one!

[@jacobtrost5048]

I never noticed before, but I love after Nydas' impassioned speech about abandoning the gold in favor of saving lives, everyone is kind of catching their breath and you just hear Travis under his breath, "You sure you're not a paladin?"

[@starmanDX27]

I feel like it’s missing the second time Brennan got them with the fireworks. “YOURE CRUSHING ME AND YOU THINK THIS IS THE TIME TO DO BITS”

Lou seeing a drunk noble and being like "that's my best friend" is so fucking funny why

[@cupcakequeen47]

The scene where Nydas has 700 hodmedods bring in the rarest magical tree from Marquet constantly reminds me that all 3 CR campaigns can, realistically, be considered a post apocalyptic setting.

[@agustinvenegas5238]

Most fantasy ttrpgs are, LOTR happens after the fall of Numenor, the forgotten realms are set after the collapse of several kingdoms, including the Netherese, thus the name of forgotten realms Turns out that dungeons need to come from somewhere and the fall of great civilization is a great source of them

[@GreatDeity1]

It's all about perspective I guess!

[@freak3470]

@@agustinvenegas5238 following that logic on ruins and dungeons, you can call our universe a post-apocalyptic setting

[@JubioHDX]

all 3 of the main campaigns ARE supposed to be post apocalyptic, hence the calamity prequel mini campaign

[@agustinvenegas5238]

@@freak3470 and I do, several times over, and it's also post-singularity if you consider the increases in our work capacity due to the neolithic agricultural revolution, the invention of metallurgy and the printing press, the industrial revolution and the widespread adoption of electronic computers

[@jtmcailin4522]

I love that while everyone is confused and surprised my Brennan shenanigans, Lou has been dealing with for years and is just FULLY over it

[@Soma2710]

The fireworks one is the best to illustrate it. Immediately you can see Lou recognizing the “I’m about to ruin to ruin your fun” Mulligan, he mutters “don’t do this man” before anyone else knows something “bad” is coming.

[@709mash]

Him sayin "how many dice is that you FUCK?!" In episode 4 comes to mind.

[@Iguanaparrots]

12:36 “People just remember the end, they never remember the middle” I know I’m reading way too much into it, but that line still feels heavier knowing the theme of this campaign

[@ThePilipino23]

If I had a nickel for every time Brennan has stabbed Lou's character in the back I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice right?

[@some_other_guy]

Read the title and saw the run time of the video and thought, "damn, only 48 minutes?" Then when I started watching it made more sense for it just to be a cut of him during calamity lmao. Makes sense now.

[@callysta1414]

this is exactly the type of thing I've been looking for. Lou is so underrated. Thanks!

[@VaSoapman]

This is a Lou that's been dealing with Brenan shenanigans for years. Lou also has guest starred as a player in the second season of NADDPOD. That character was fun because its Lou playing a guy that just wants to kill stuff with his friends.

Yessss when I first started watching Fantasy high with 0 knowledge about any of the Dropout personalities, Lou/Fabian was just to hilarious, now I can't imagine watching DnD without Lou

[@kawaiku]

He needs to guest in CR campaign 3 for sure!

[@Levacque]

I liked watching Lou physically get into the Fabian role every single time he spoke. He does it with other characters sometimes, but very consistently with Fabian - he swaggers and simpers just a tiny bit every time.

[@smiteysmite2368]

This was amazing. I love Lou. I hope he comes back.

[@iezelmint]

Brennan's little firework extravaganza fakeout is one best moments in D&D history.

[@bananafish58]

Thank you for this complilation, which I FINALLY found! Lou is AMAZING. His range of play in EXU: Calamity shows why so many of us will watch ANYTHING Lou is in! I'm so glad Critters, who may not have known about Lou through Dimension 20, were introduced to and experienced our National Treasure! With all the fantastic things Lou had Nydas do, I have to admit, this is still probably my favorite: 32:28!

Just checking the comments to ease that emotional whiplash from that last scene, to me alone in my dark room. Dimension 20 and Critical Role are the only things I watch that can bring me to tears. I just get so invested in the characters they make. I wish there were people in my life that understood. These stories are so important to me, and I can't really articulate why they're any different than any of the other many ways that I consume stories. Thank you for making this.

I wasn't a fan of Lou Wilson in the limited times I've seen him on Dimension 20. He was fantastic in this show, though. Probably my favorite character in Calamity. Especially in the 3rd episode when they went to the Arboreal Calix. The hysterical energy he brought when he saw Karwen's prophecy coming to fruition was truly top notch acting.
