Holy Fuck.
Raphaniel touching the mycelium (I think it’s mycelium) really is Matt returning the favor for Patia touching the Arboreal Calyx.
The “Fellowship of Destiny’s Architects”(FDA) comes from a long pedigree of conceptual puns that D20 has been cultivating:
SW: spoilers for a LOT of Dimension 20
Sinatra’s Law (the Imperial Axiom) being “If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere.”
NY traffic flowing against the literal laylines of the city, and that’s why it’s so labyrinthine and bad
In the same setting, JJ’s analysis of the particle physics of the Unsleeping City (Nothing is faster than a New York minute)
The Pirates of Leviathan insurance scam being based on a literal “act of god”
The Ramsian Doctrine (Junk food)
The whole thing with Jacques Tomaté and whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable was actually introduced in the original Crown of Candy
Gnosis being Clippy
Feel free to name any I haven’t thought of.
All I’m saying is after years of Brennan stinkers, Matt wanted to get in one of his own.
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.
