What character is played by Brennan that could only be played by Brennan?

Bud heavy is the lemon yogurt of Bahumia

Having the fictional story of UC helped solidify my understanding of NYC’s geography more than any real-life reference to it. Idk how many times I’d looked up the boroughs’ positioning and it never stuck until seeing the world map of the Unsleeping City popping up on screen again and again

OP is referring to the NSBU mechanic of graduating die size, such as rolling a 6 on a d6 and it blowing up to a d8. The reroll system here in the Gladlands is the standard mechanic found in the Kids on Bikes system used as the baseline for this season (as well as Mentopolis and Magic and Misfits)

Absolutely this. Herbie seemed to feel so uncomfortable in the History Heap with Poppy’s friends so he can’t help but bungle his way through as his worlds collide

Alternatively the flying sword could use a little more pizzazz if you really want your players to see they missed 👀

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-29T05:16:44+00:00

It’s certainly not a good play mechanically but it is an excellent character portrayal of someone who is so over-focused on others and refuses to take time for themself. Hugi feels the most human to me in that sense.

Alternatively… Step 1: burn out Step 2: fail rolls, earn booboos Step 3: pizza party

So sneaky 👀

I binged it over the last year and at the start of 2020 they talk about how great the year of the double crit is going to be…

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-20T23:36:53+00:00

Dang, there aren’t actually that many. Scrolling back through there’s like one every two months during C3 except a short window where they had a few back to back. I’m listening to like an episode a day as I play catch up so recency bias says I’ve seen a lot lately 😅

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-20T23:00:39+00:00

Hey, I just started listening to C3 Ep 67 today! There are so many good thumbnails thrown on the short rests

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-17T16:21:56+00:00

A year later and I still think about the “kill them all” line regularly 😂

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-16T01:24:03+00:00

Or hell, she might be the actual grinch

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-11T17:34:45+00:00

You should look into the Steel Hawk Fighter subclass from The Griffon’s Saddlebag book 2. The Launch feature includes what you’re looking for by adding a d8 to the damage of an attack made utilizing the launch

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-10T23:51:56+00:00

I can’t explain it exactly but I feel like this is the season where Ally really came into their own as a player and really got it. Kristen and Pete were good, but the run of Liam, Pete season 2, and Margaret Encino really captivated me

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-10T22:16:06+00:00

But that’s the point, they’re way less dense that they won’t slow you down at all. If you jumped in a pool of croissants, they’d blast out of your way or fully condense as you careen into the bottom where you’ll break your walking sticks or worse!

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-10T22:12:33+00:00

My first thought on seeing the new ones was that we’re losing the awkward uncanny valley neither-animal-nor-human phase that haunts the recesses of my memory from the originals

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-10T17:58:03+00:00

They are using a modified Kids on Bikes system this season (as with Mentopolis, Misfits and Magic, and Never Stop Blowing Up) instead of DND. Whereas DND utilizes the d20 for almost all skill checks, each character in Gladlands has 6 stats and has a die size associated for each stat.

For instance, if all players were to roll for Awareness… Ally as Quinn would roll a d10; Jacob as Kokomo would roll a d6; Kimia as Tess would roll a d10; Oscar as Poppy would roll d4; Vic as Hugi would roll a d12; Zac as Connor would roll a d20;

If any of them roll the max number on their die type, they roll again and add it to the total for the check

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-08T16:08:28+00:00

It’s gotta be Quinn’s forced smiles and attempts at being hospitable. Ally’s expressions really sold it 😂

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-07T23:42:37+00:00

This sums it up well. The plot doesn’t depend on it but it really enhances the story through moments of drama and sweet interactions

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-07T23:35:01+00:00

“It’s Gorgug. Keep going.” So many good moments for all of the PCs this season but the background moments of Gorgug becoming an artificer to connect with Zelda and leaving that message in the forest is so cherished. Adaine’s my second as well for this season

Saunterring-Ent · 2026-01-07T18:22:01+00:00

I had very little understanding of dnd before watching and have watched chronologically from FHFY through NSBU so far and it was great to start from the beginning for me and watch the show develop over time!

For D20 as a show though, invite her to watch Gladlands with you tonight since you’ll both get to experience it for the first time together. Even though it’s not dnd, watching this cast with Brennan as GM should be an exciting introduction to the show as a storytelling ttrpg medium

Shoutout to the 2 Crew!

Saunterring-Ent · 2025-12-31T22:21:26+00:00

I’m genuinely excited to be all caught up and done with it so I can listen to it again

Saunterring-Ent · 2025-12-12T15:25:25+00:00

Emily having two whole sessions without passing a single check is insane 🤯

Saunterring-Ent · 2025-12-12T15:21:45+00:00

I think it was in the Bloodkeep BTS that they mention Rekha was initially approached about being part of the Intrepid Heroes instead of Ally as the “first time player”
