The various cast of this show did an Instagram Takeover, but if you’re frightened and confused by Instagram like me, Bixbi Boom is a YouTube channel with compilations of each cast member’s videos answering questions about the show and hanging out.
Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
Anyone else digging Christian Bale playing DnD??
If the hall of prophecies can’t manage to give advance notice for PTO… who can?
Sorry guys! We blew our whole budget on the intro CGI.
Since Brennan is DM, when does the Corn Cutie show up in the game?
I wanna smoke a blunt with Eldamir so bad lmao
Serious question though, what did the Aeorans know about astrophysics? Anything like relativity?
3:24:00 I LOST MY MIND
4:05:35
Holllyyy crap!😱❤ One of the best descriptions I've ever heard!
Holy fuck that opening!
Do you think any of them know that "Bolo" means "cake" and "Por'co" means "pig" both in Portuguese?
25:38 "If you look down and see the stars, what will you see when you look up?"
The whole introduction of characters and setting was incredibly cinematic, good job Brennan!
So, I'm a first time watcher of D&D. HOLY FRICK, when I realised how many characters and stories/arcs the dungeon master has to remember it blew my mind. I can barely remember what I did at work today let alone character x, arc y, decision z. Damn
Travis met his own "romance partner". So glad.
25:55 i knew he'd say that
Am I watching it again and crying already at only in 7 minutes? You tell me
So I’m watching the first episode but I’m feeling super lost 🤔like I missed something. Is there a lore video or sum thing that can watch
I feel like I need to go back and rewatch the whole thing to catch all the bits I missed the first time. Reminds me of GoT in that way!
I probably heard the word utmost 30 times lol
Bolo is my favourite character.
This is so sublime. I want more of this. High level character, high level setting, high level acting, high level play, high level intensity of immersion and emotion.
4:05:32 oh he actually used that
Just the absolute entrancement on the players' faces shows you how good Brennan's story-telling capabilities are. And my face is making the same expressions of awe!
I need some like sci-fi, apocalypse/post apocalypse, vampire/monster, type book series from Brennen. Please and thank you. Erotica much appreciated but not needed (the ones with the strongest storylines are the best. Little smut great story 🤌)
Took me a month to finish this episode.
I've been kind of hesitant with accepting the new DMs, esp as the tone of Dimension 20 and EU: Kymal didn't really speak to me. Then I watched 4-Sided Dive ep 4, realized this was prequel stuff, came to check it out and HOLY SHIIIIIIT I did not give Brennan enough credit. This. Is. INCREDIBLE.
Damn Brennan is amazing. Been sleeping on him, got some watching to do.
What a crazy last couple-few years it must have been for Brennen….having the initials BLM, and maybe it's just me, but I use my initials for things and if I see SMA anywhere it catches my attention. Now imagine hearing and seeing BLM literally everywhere. Wild lol
Idk how, but when Travis speaks as Cerrit, his eyebrows become wing like looking tufts and that is exactly how a birdman would look. Also, that voice is phenomenal!
3:26:28 Oh interesting , oh of course, oh shit, okay
“I’m not safe on this side of the table”
Travis's reaction to Pervan's whole deal was very cool. Especially his exclamation of "of course!" when he realized that the vestiges wouldn't exist yet.
His investment in this world is very enjoyable to watch.
So I kinda am confused, the top right guy plays a gay guy who has an adopted son?
Patia is giving me some serious Good Witch Anne Hathaway vibes.
"Pitching Alts"? Meaning?
Excellent content!
Brennan as GM <3
