I love how Trapp gets a Nat 20 to clock that Avanash is "full crazy" but since everyone else failed, it mostly just makes HIM look crazy for insisting they can't trust him.

[@alexspear2145]

The best part of this campaign is Trapp having to periodically remind the audience that they are, in fact, the baddies

[@bodenking]

Trapp as the straight man is the absolute best in this

[@UchihaKat]

Matt, forever DM, who is so clearly relishing actually getting to PLAY for once, having the WILDEST dice swings in the game is just such a delight to watch. He's having so much fun.

[@tiredmaddy]

i played in an evil oneshot and its turned into a full campaign, were like 4 sessions in and now i fully understand how bloodkeep wound up being a weird evil found family thing dhdhdh

[@heliveruscalion9124]

hey, i'm curious, is that campaign still ongoing?

Those rolls had a very Murph energy to them.

Does Brenana say he has a +12 to the grapple check or something else, bc a im confused how he rolled a 17 and got 21

[@camberr]

@@axelrodthefourth3425 Brennan said +14. Either he rolled a 1 on his math check(17+14 would be 31) or he meant +4.

Matt Mercer's nat 20s are the absolute best only because he fails so often 🤣🤣

[@jadeyu7197]

RIGHT?????

[@elbruces]

What's best is that his dice started to turn around right about when he re-dedicated his (un)life's purpose to serving the demon baby. It's like the dice were really working with his character arc.

[@EthalaRide]

Matt, rolling a nat 20 and then two nat 1s all in a row is fucking FANTASTIC

[@bhoj8966]

I just loved the double pants moment. That and the bones scene are the best moments of the campaign.

[@VoraciousRdr]

Anything with Hamhead too 😂

The fact that both John Feathers and Avanash were made up on the spot was fantastic

[@HS-iw1ed]

watching absolute nerds who have been playing for decades get full body reactions and scream over rolling nat 20s is hilarious

The thrill never goes away

[@bodenking]

Nothing ever compares to the high you feel when you hit that 5% chance

[@koreymackey684]

The 20 from ify when he finds hamhead behind him is the best "I see everything" moment

[@darrienjones8917]

I love how he just pretend grabs hamhead by the actual head and just hoists them in from of him.

Galfast Hamhead surviving only to troll the party through sheer luck of the dice is probably my favorite part of this series.

[@jedinxf7]

he's the unlikeliest punchline

[@garrettcarter5622]

Don't get me wrong, I love the main cast, but this was my favorite season. More than any other, I hope THIS campaign gets a sequel ala Dimension 20 LIVE after Crown of Candy is done airing.

[@christianschoff2490]

I thought that Nod in Unsleeping City, when he was first described, was going to be the demon baby grown older.

[@Nydidia]

@@christianschoff2490 holy crap that would have been amazing

[@kaydecena]

I loveee this too! I have never rooted for a villain except these PCs!

[@jadeyu7197]

YES YES YES YES Personally, I like the Bloodkeep's ending already and I wish we all give the vile villains the happily ever evil they deserve BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS CAST ON ANOTHER SIDE QUEST *PLEASE I BEG OF YOU*

[@MorganBondelid]

I figured DM was setting up a sequel possibility when Baby DarkLord gave Leiland a new quest!

[@Light-fi1mj]

Matt's smile when Leiland sees Hamhead in the sky is heart warming!

[@moistnar]

I still come back to this video for Ify's reaction to detecting Galfast. Simultaneously hilarious and extremely sick

[@aposiopetic]

I love every season of Dimension 20, but Escape From the Bloodkeep is just so, so wonderful. The cast, the arc, the whole thing.

[@Shuisha]

Pleeeease I've been looking for this.

[@benwhite8157]

This whole campaign reminded me of Wreck-it-Ralph. Specifically, "Just because you are bad guy does not mean you are bad guy."

[@salsatheone]

What did we learn today? "Power Word: Advantage" is a hell of a spell.

[@cooki522]

Proposal: Video on all the shenanigan suggestions by players. For example Hilda Hilda, Riz's gun shoot at the halfpipe battle, Fig trying to handbrake turn the car, lilith having the ship as an ally, Kristen's ribbon fall etc etc. Basically moments where players come up with batshit insane ideas or solutions and Brennan rolls with it for better or worse. I love those moments as they display how insanely creative the players are within their worlds and how good Brennan is as a DM to accommodate their insane ideas.

[@rimurutempest4945]

Kristen reviving and going to Heaven on a Nat 20 would definitely be included.

[@G30R6E93]

I nominate Kristen "flying" to get to the bottom of the tower faster than everyone else... and... "succeeding"

[@jadeyu7197]

efink was the one with the ship as an ally!!!

[@thehellsage]

I love the last bit, Brennan going full good-guy-DM and letting the storytelling effort a player has put in speak volumes... Even though he crit.

[@error8119]

I love how even if he wants to say no so badly he lets her reaction rob him of his critical hit because not only is it fair with how she’s made her character the entire time, he recognizes that it’s a lot more enjoyable for everyone if it happens and is ok with being thrown for a loop every now and then

[@honeybadger2898]

Lieland is the reason I made “Lemand”, my favorite character ever. A hexblade warlock that gets his ass kicked all the time and just tries his best

[@jadeyu7197]

Lemand??

[@alphahunter4791]

Those revenge Nat 20's for Hamhead's original stealth check are my favorite by far

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

"... before I narrate, roll for your second attack." You can hear- nay, _feel_ the quivering anticipation in that cunning linguist's voice as Brennan prepares to transport his enthralled audience (the players and the viewers both) into that glorious scene.

[@gabrielamedeirosribeiro3223]

“This object is a personal friend of yours” I died XD

[@bloomp9676]

Trapp and Brennan sharing control of the mucus-covered, bubbly little lady brings me so much joy

[@mrclaw4715]

3:55 this is the kinda roll fudging I can get behind, giving the player the unlikely but still possible chance to pull off a cool moment rather than going 'would be cool but he rolled a 29 so sucks to suck' either that or some truly terrible math skills

[@druid_the_lizard_wizard]

Nah, Brennan can math well so I feel like he fudged it because the 29 would have really discouraged them lol

[@21Stephen12]

I love how so many of those 20’s were the advantage rolls.

[@bodenking]

That’s the power friendship… evil friendship

[@caitlinistired1050]

Matts dice just kept charging until it decides “okay it’s time to get shit done”

[@WardNightstone]

blood keep is hands down my favorite season do to it being a meta aware parody of LOTR and the cast were having a BLAST with it

[@SapphWolf]

DM: And the BBEG rolls to attack. Nat 20. Player: Oooo! I can make that not be a thing! *The DM will remember this.*

[@druid_the_lizard_wizard]

Shout out to Brennan fudging the roll here (3:33) because if he told them he rolled a natural 17 with a +12, being he got a *29* , they would have been a little discouraged lmao

[@mediocreboi]

@@Froggeh92 it took me a while to get into it- probably the longest of any of the seasons. But in the end I really enjoyed the characters and was glad I watched it. I would recommend powering through, if you have the time. It's good as background noise if it doesn't end up sticking to ya, lol

[@joeljude9180]

That griefmaker ability is wild and awesome. In a campaign where everyone's already stacked, on a critical hit which is already supposed to be something awesome, let's instead make it a chance to high roll even more in a double or nothing style mechanic.

Either Brennan is bad at math or he really wanted to give Leiland a break but I don't think 17+12 = 21. Beautiful to see Matts face light up on that 20 regardless.

[@cyberslayer9098]

Ye I noticed that too, I think he was giving him a break

[@kori228]

does Brennan usually allow Nat 20s to succeed anyway? I haven't watched it, so while he may have added it wrong, his ruling might be consistent I've seen the ghost mystery clip where someone did a Nat 20 to summon a ghost, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's allowed even if he said the roll was 31

[@VictorGarcia-lb9pk]

@@kori228 yeah brennan really plays into nat 20s I think

[@vivienhardy409]

A nat 20 always succeeds I believe

[@amandaw2133]

Brennan as a GM treats nat 20s as auto-successes, same with nat 1s being auto-fails. So even if he got the exact number wrong when he did the math, as long as he didn’t also roll a nat 20, Matt still would’ve won that one
