I don't really have any insights that haven't been said already, but it's lovely to see D20 deliberately doing a beginner-friendly campaign a few years in. Eternal camp counselor Brennan is absolutely a perfect choice to combine DMing with teaching the game on camera.

This is also an object lesson in how much this game is about the people playing it. Because the actual adventure is basic almost to the point of cliché - high fantasy setting, a party of strangers with linked angsty backstories going on a journey, starting a fight at a bar, etc. It's the players elevating this into something of its own, with Brennan as their deft enabler.

Which: I was absolutely shocked to learn that Bob had never played before, because what the frick. She must have watched some actual play or something, right? Her descriptions of Gertrude's magic were fantastic, and she was just incredibly sharp and on top of things the entire time.

I think Alaska took the longest to get swinging, but I salute her choice to persist with her (awesome) vocal choice for Princess, who is also a great character design.

Underwater assassin with arcane arrows is also a dope-ass design. My group is throwing around ideas for a maritime campaign right now, so I was really paying attention to all of Monét's bits and enjoying the heck out of them.

Jujubee was delightful - the way she was so reactive and in the moment she kept forgetting what happened three moments ago was, uh. Not unfamiliar to me. Keep taking those notes!

It's not just that Brennan has spent his whole adult life teaching RPing to people of all ages that made him great for this; it's his deep belief in the jiu-jitsu/yes-and school of DMing. He works so hard not to reject ideas outright and to meet players where they are, and he's so friggin' good at it the seams barely show.

Which is how we didn't even get a moment of hesitation before Twyla summoned a cat tree. Amazing. Epic. Glorious.

For someone who's been at this a while, the special delight of D&DQ is seeing people discover the game and its depths as they go. Realizing the magic of having your words come to life in everyone's shared imagination. Recognizing the capricious power of the dice. Seeing how every detail can be made beautiful and emotional or just fucking funny. Losing the consciousness of playing the game and just doing it.

For my genshin impact enjoyers: 3rd raiden puppet because a forgotten middle child is always funny

anything and everything that happens to them is purely because to was the funniest route to me.
