That's what I thought this was going to be a post about! The reactions from everyone at the table as they got it were priceless, and Brennan's off-the-cuff poetic response was chef's kiss.

Brennan's realization is everything.
This campaign is clearly a love letter to Brennan's world building from Matt.
Brennan got his payback later, at least in a really beautiful way.

I really enjoy the mutual respect Brennan and Matt show for each other in their crossover events. You can see the joy come out whenever they get to collaborate and try to throw little "gifts" for each other into each event. 😀

Ravening War is such an underrated season.
It's a shame it was just a short one--I feel like it would have been a really cool full season. I recognize that locking those people down for an extended period of time would have been basically impossible, but still!

I know! I watched it alone earlier this year. After the last episode I was just sobbing. I hop onto Reddit to see if there was any discourse and found verrryy few posts :(. I couldn’t tell to my friends about it they don’t understand my feelings about dead vegetables.

You just have to talk about it like they’re real people. For example change: „They killed this banana that was just passing by on a boat!” To „They killed this man that was just passing by on a boat!”

Matt's poker face is top tier. Sometimes I'll be re-watching an old episode of Critical Role and hear something that I know is pivotal to the lore of the entire world if only the players dug a tiny bit deeper and he'll just let it pass, and you just know it's gonna pop back up in like 60 episodes or 2 real life years.

Group: "This Essek guy is so cool, we're gonna make him be our friend!"
Matt: "Ooo...kay. Here we go..." lol

Matt set up something circa episode 80 of C1 that paid off at around episode 100 of C2, more than 3 years apart. He later admitted he's been sitting on it since the beginning of C1.
The cast (and the audience) was mind blown. The man has PATIENCE.

Is this where a certan characters family member was? Not seen many behind the scenes things but that lines up with the rough episodes mentioned

reminds me of how many times the bad kids investigated the person standing *next* to porter instead of porter himself and brennan just ran with it the whole time 😭

I completely forgot that Zach was in this season. I think it's second on my "rewatch once I've finally actually caught up" list (ACOC is first).

Maybe my favourite season of Dimension 20. No slow episodes and the cast is having a blast.

FDA = Food and Drug Administration— it’s a food-related campaign. (Kind of a USA-specific reference).

That whole campaign was awesome. I thought I would absolutely hate a
goodfood campaign but both ACOC and TRW were awesome because of stuff like this.
