I recently took a trip to San Diego to visit my cousin, so I decided to stop by SDSU campus to take pictures of the field Nick and Manny trained on.
Which brings me to an interesting point. This thing Juice said about getting a new stadium but plans falling through?
Plans did not fall through IRL! The old stadium built at an angle that makes the whole 20020 plot possible? Demolished to build a new stadium.
Pictured:
• The original SDCCU Stadium
• The new Snapdragon Stadium being built
• The finished Snapdragon stadium
Where the old field stood is now a parking lot.
Here is a picture of the exact patch of gravel.
Here’s the new stadium shot from where the old stadium stood.
Here are some panos taken standing where the old field was!
If we ever get another D&D movie and have some actual play peeps cameo in it, I would want Brennan, Aabria, and Matt cast as “trio/quartet (if we could get Jasmine too) of arguing wizards”, and anyone who’s seen the Game Masters of Exandria Roundtable immediately understands what I mean.
Brennan would probably be interrogating some nonsensical illogic surrounding the behavior of a person and/or organization, which, on a Doylist level would be him examining the worldbuilding.
Aabria would be starting BEEF.
Matt would be exasperatedly trying to mediate and deescalate.
I know a Space Guy when I see one! You don't need to research the formation of Saturn's moons for a comedy presentation on Lunar Nuclear Disarmament! Only a space nerd would do that!
Imagine if Raphaniel Charlock finds out where his visions come from and it’s this ancient deity adjacent to the hungry one.
They dare not speak its name.
Insinkerator the Screeching One.
Most Dimension 20 seasons are about capitalism in some allegorical way, but Titan Takedown is more explicitly about how it feels to be ruled by the biggest, dumbest assholes of all time.
WAIT THIS IS ALSO THE GUY WHO DID THE MUSIC SCAR PUTS ON FOR SUPER FAST BUILD MODE
The sound design on Dropout is great and I love how they reuse sounds like how the Dirty Laundry anticipation buildup jingle sometimes appears on Dimension 20, but also the most recent episode of Game Changer used the public domain instrumental Maniamaster by Lupus Nocte, which incidentally is the same instrumental that Charlie Slimecicle chose for Jort Storm. So now I can’t watch Game Changer s6e7 “Beat the Buzzer” without singing Jort Storm to myself.
FACT: People make resin die.
FACT: Some craftsmen, NOT ALL OF THEM, some craftsmen are just people in their basement putting resin into moulds and selling those babies online with the care and precision of a whiskey licked blacksmith in the wild west.
FACT: It's not unlikely for a lot of those dice to be incorrectly filled, uneven or Weighted.
FACT: If I was to buy a whole bunch of these die with many of them being weighted, some of them would be weighted to low numbers and some to high.
FACT: It is reasonable and likely for me to gravitate towards the die that give me High Numbers and go "oh these are my special dice" "oh this one is blessed by the goddess" and to remove low rolling dice from my line up.
FACT: This is not a phenomenon that occurs as often with metal die.
FACT: If I was a player who staunchly defended my metal dice while everyone else at the table used resin or fanmade dice, if I was a player who stood by my dice through thick or thin, refusing to switch dice out from my roster, if I was a player who had Publicly claimed my loyalty to metal dice on many occasions, I would statistically roll worse.
FACT: Brian Murphy does not have just as good a chance as rolling as any of you.
Yeah, the “snack player” is cool and all, but what about the “DM wedding officiant player”?
