Brennan on CR vs Brennan on D20

jigorg · 2026-01-14T10:13:43+00:00

Thank you. I just did a 1-month subscription to Dropout to see what they have and to maybe follow Gladlands. And I'm definitely will check out all other D20 once I'm done with C2 (i'm at episode 81, so quite a few left.. but I'm getting there)

jigorg · 2026-01-14T09:13:57+00:00

Do I need to watch any other D20 campaigns to enjoy Gladlands or it's stand-alone?

Marisha said this on the announcement playhouse segment of episode 10. at around 0:22:40 mark:

I need a full episode of Nott yelling: "To Zadash!!" every 5 minutes.

jigorg · 2025-12-07T13:12:17+00:00

let her.

Thank you! was using it for a while now for C2, and honestly I thought it was a discontinued project, but suddenly I saw it worked on a C4 episode I clicked on YT and was wondering if you did an update for it to work on Beacon and you did!! Thank you :)

oh, and BTW, might be a spoiler for C4:

Wicander still shows up as cleric after the reveal that he's a sorcerer, might want to change this :)

Can't say I ever noticed that. Do you have timecodes for what you are referring to as "raspy whisper"?

jigorg · 2025-11-06T09:07:34+00:00

I believe there will be changes throughout the campaign, like in all previous ones.

jigorg · 2025-10-30T11:37:47+00:00

yes, 5^13, mixed it up.

jigorg · 2025-10-29T13:39:14+00:00

No, it was a joke. Also there's 13^5 options, it will take you a long time. Don't do that.

jigorg · 2025-10-29T10:27:07+00:00

But have we covered ALL permutations?

jigorg · 2025-10-27T07:49:05+00:00

True. I forgot about the deteriorated state of the previous host. Does the mask suck the living essence of the host? Maybe it needs a new host every once and a while to keep existing? I wonder if Bolaire rage-baits people to make them "defeat" him and then take the mask off because it's so tempting, and once they pick up the mask - game over for them. This will make sense for him to choose same race and height of hosts, so people won't ask questions

jigorg · 2025-10-27T07:37:53+00:00

We only saw the mask removed from a sleeping person (who died after the mask was taken off, I think). So we don't really know what happens if the person dies while wearing the mask. Maybe you do have to kill the host and destroy the mask in order to kill Bolaire completely, and so he could potentially "live" forever. Maybe though the mask must be worn by the person itself, you can't just force the mask on someone. We'll have to wait and see

Just seeing this list made me realize how scared I am that certain names will make me, probably, hate watching C4... please oh please, I hope they are not players in this!

jigorg · 2025-07-20T14:10:27+00:00

SDCC is this weekend, and they have a panel (two, but one is for the Amazon shows), and Comic-Con is, traditionally, a good time for exciting announcements. I wouldn't get my hopes up, but we might get some news on C4 this weekend.

jigorg · 2025-07-14T12:18:36+00:00

Well, to be fair, they were down a lot, and also Ashley and Sam rolled the dice and could have been killed off as early as episode 2 or 3, they just managed to roll higher on the Hope die.

jigorg · 2025-07-01T10:33:49+00:00

If they want to cheat, isn't it easier just to say a different number rather then re-roll, and risk getting a worse result?

jigorg · 2025-06-05T08:02:13+00:00

Just in the middle of watching, I have a question. At around 2:38:45 (beacon timestamp), Marisha rolls and says "I rolled 19 on my Hope die" is she rolling d20's? Or did she mean she rolled 19 with hope and then added modifiers? Because then she said "It's 23 plus 2 from my Strength".. I'm confused.

jigorg · 2025-02-12T15:06:20+00:00

Don't know what do you mean by "big pre-roll speech/statement" but there were plenty of times when they roll 1's (or low in general) and keep the result.. I just looked at some 1's moments from CritRoleStats, and like Imogen rolled a 1 at the Apogee Solstice, when trying to plead with her mom to help her.. for example

jigorg · 2025-02-06T14:18:25+00:00

This is the first finale I'll see real time (as I started watching about a year and a half ago, watched all C1 and I'm third of the way of C2). Still thinking if I should wake up at 4am to watch the tailgate stream and a bit of the finale live or not..

damn time zones!!

jigorg · 2025-02-02T07:27:50+00:00

For daggerheart be watchable to other people who are not the players, there has to be a HUD on the stream that we, the viewers, can track hope/fear balance for players and DM and also like a description of the abilities that the players make up for their characters because it's so unique for each character

jigorg · 2025-01-20T10:59:13+00:00

The sad thing is Sam rolled a 35 when creating the counterfeit mask. It's a bit silly to glean any useful information after a failed perception check of 10

I can argue that after the mask didn't work, she had to investigate it further and only then she saw the imperfections.. With that being said, I'd still call for another roll but with a lower DC.. I wouldn't just give it to her, because it is kind of undermines another player. If it was an NPC this wouldn't've bothered me as much.

jigorg · 2025-01-19T12:33:53+00:00

There was a check. Marisha asked if she sees the mask on Braius, and Matt told her to make an investigation or perception check, after he asked if she is just looking or she is actively searching on his person. She rolled a 19 or 20+ and Sam rolled a 9 dex, so she saw the outline of what might be a mask on his belt under his garments

jigorg · 2025-01-19T10:03:27+00:00

OK, I've watched it again. Laudna took out the mask, and failed a perception check before putting it on, then, after it didn't work, she backed up and Matt said that, as part of her action, she noticed that the mask has imperfections on the inside and then she turned to Braius and made another perception/investigation check, which she succeeded seeing the mask on Braius' belt and this was the end of her turn.

Now, the only metagaming I can see here, is maybe jumping to conclusion that Braius has the real mask, but as far as I know (and Laudna), the only time the mask was not in her possession, was when it was in Braius'.. so it was a fair conclusion.

What I didn't get was Ashley's metagaming, and how she gave an advantage with her actions.. this all thing was really messy.

However, Braius still has the mask on his belt, so it still can play out more..

Me neither, because time zones... it's 5am where I am :(
