Having Brennan as a spokesperson for your new D&D product is like promoting the concept of ✨going outside✨ by letting a golden retriever off its leash and just filming it joyfully bounding about the trees and rolling in the grass.

"What could bring an 11-year-old more joy than ideological factions in a floating city?" The more I learn about Brennan's childhood, the more it makes sense seeing who he grew up to be.

Babe, wake up, new Brennan Lee Mulligan lore dropped. He started his major in Philosophy at 14 y/o.

Brennan Lee Mulligan being so excited about this is such a joy lol

They didn't even ask for him to make this video. Brennan just appeared in here and turned on the cameras so he can go off on his favorite setting. This is all footage they found later.

so now we need a Dimension 20 planescape campaign!

1:30 Brennan's humility is always something to be admired. Bro, you just got hired to promote an official D&D product from the people who made it. I guarantee you that Tony knows who you are.

Props to Brennan's mom for not being afraid of dnd like some older people are.

5:25 The way he says “Hope Evie is okay, she was really cool” is such real sentiment, that bittersweet feeling of retiring a character without knowing their “ending”. I hope my middle school characters are doing okay, too 😢

Brennan moving from pro bono rules lawyer to good guy grammar cop on Matt Mercer’s behalf for Sigil is just chefs kiss (Except Brennan would never be a cop, duh)

Proud of Brennan pronouncing Sigil correctly.

He’s so enthusiastic and charismatic and down-to-earth; Brennan always just seems happy to be talking about D&D and sharing stories of his childhood D&D adventures with his brother. It’s absolutely lovely and endearing. There’s a good reason D20 and Worlds Beyond Number are so beloved. He pours his joy, creativity and passion into everything, whether it’s on his own shows, guest DMing Calamity or as a guest PC on NADDPOD, D&D Chaos and Battle for Beyond.

Learning that Brennan's favorite published setting is Planescape is easily the least surprising fact I've learned all year.

I genuinely haven't felt more sold on an official DND product ever than when I hear Brennan talking about it. The way he boiled down the concept of just this civilization called Mumpville who'd ended up in heaven accidentally, and just set up shop there. I need more of this.

This is just like the College Humor CEO videos but he likes the product.

For my money, Brennan is THE best streaming DM working right now. Hands down.

I've lost a lot of excitement for d&d, but watching Brennan talk about it always gives me a window to relive that spark.

Brennan Lee Mulligan is a Planescape fan? That explains sooooo much!

Nice. I've been running a Planescape campaign since 1995 with the same group. Yes, 2E still. Zeb Cook and Monte Cook (Modron March, Dead Gods) made it far too expansive to not play, but for me, the work of DiTerlizzi was what made it absolutely unique, and set the entire mood.

I’ve never finished it, but I’m pretty sure Planescape: Torment was my first exposure to D&D. I knew what a Githzerai was before I even really knew what D&D was. The 5e Planescape book might be the first D&D book I ever buy.

D'aww, the fact he backed how Matt Mercer said Sigil way back when! Mulligan, you're a good dude 👍

Reading and playing planescape at age 11? He really is parangon for us nerds.

Knowing how much Brennan loves planescape, I've been looking forward to this 🎉

I started playing at 10 as well! Went through the Red box all the way to Gold. Planescape hit when I was around 15 (?), and as strange as it was, it felt almost prophesized. A few years earlier the Infinity Wars hit the comic shelves, we were reading the pulp weirdness of Michael Moorcock's rampage through the Multiverse, and our high fantasy heroes were ready for the ultimate Space Opera; after conquering the world that our characters grew up in, it was only natural to move into other dimensions. Love hearing Mulligan talk about this stuff; wish we could have sat at the same table back in those days. Really inspirational stuff

love to hear Brennan talk about dnd ^^

Brennan being a 14 year old Philosophy Major explains so much

I'm so pleased with Brennan Lee's enthusiasm, and I hope that all the wildest expectations from our beloved planescape will come true. I'm currently DM-ing a campaign in a planescape setting that I'm creating myself. There is a very important character in it, who after death is reborn, but on another plane or in another world, and one day he got a mind protection ring with his own mind, and now he, with the help of the players, is trying to remember his past lives and get home to well-deserved retirement, because I and one of my players very often used this character if we had no ideas who to play, regardless of the setting and role-playing system.

Love this man. He's everywhere doing everything.

Oh I would love to see a Dimension 20 Planescape campaign

I remember Brennan talking about Sigil and the Lady of Pain on Drawfee

Oh, man. I remember those Saturday+Sunday DnD sessions at that age. The. Best. I love how the specifics differ, but there is this universality to DnD that players experience.

Look, I love Brennan as much as the next D20 fan but in my 20+ years of playing DnD and using a LOT of Planescape materiel, I’ll never pronounce Sigil that way. 😂

planescape is so sick because you literally can combine it with whatever, its like spelljammer in that respect

Elaine Lee proving again that she's the coolest mom.

I played Planescape: Torment when I don't even know...how young I was. I couldn't fully grasp the concepts that the game was introducing me to but I know that I was utterly enthralled by all of it. The setting, the lore, the characters (I love you Morte)-- it all had an almost certainly discernable effect on my mental development. I've been wanting to be a DM for so long, this may be a tipping point. Returning to Sigil, for me, will feel just like going home.

Griff Mulligan is a glorious name.

Feeling very validated that Brennan is as much in love with Planescape as I am. Doesn't surprise me, but it is awesome to see his genuine enthusiasm for a setting I love.

I just hope WotC can capture that with the new product, I have little faith in their competency in that regard, but hope nonetheless.

Tony Diterlizzi’s illustrations in Spiderwick affected my imagination of fantasy more than anyone else. Legend.

2:00 I'll be honest, there is a high likelihood that Tony knows EXACTLY who you are

What a great way to wake up ,enjoy a fresh cup of coffee and watch your interview this gentleman talk excitedly about his love for D&D and the Planescape setting . Would love to see more interviews of the many other Dungeon/Game Masters and Players of this . Definitely picking it up. I still have my 2E boxed set and will be probably combing a bit of both 2E and 5E. Can't wait to pick it up from my lgs !!

I never got into D&D board games but Torment is still to this day my favorite pc game.

this shorts vídeo explains sooo much why Brennan DMs (and plays) the way he does. awesome!

I hope we are a little happy that this guy got to grow up and do this.

Brennan turned back into a kid real quick as he opened the books.

"You don't know me Tony." How could someone in the D&D space not know about Brennan Mulligan!? Brennan saying that actually sounded humble to me. XD

Well if Brennan says it's "Siggle" then that's enough for me.

I love that Planescape is coming back in the light

I think that was the best part of 4 ed. The planes and depth of the books. I think that was the only edition that really got into the Gith

There HAS to be a good way for them to redo Dark Sun for contemporary audiences, if they can put Planescape on their agenda Dark Sun belongs on the table at least...

Best planescape ad, keep Brennan talking about it haha

Such a great video! I love Brennan Lee Mulligan. Dungeons & Drag Queens was my favorite show this year. ❤

Greyhawk is the best setting by far for D&D. Nothing is better than a spooky dungeon at 3rd level. The games where I had the most fun and were the most harrowing were 3-7th level. When you're high powered 10+ level then maybe an adventure that goes through Sigil but that's it.

I only played a planescape game once but it was great, I played a Kensai Monk who was a cowboy gunslinger that ended up running a Tavern with a built in portal to Valhalla. Sigil is weird in the most fantastic way possible.

it's about TIME we got some BLeeM commentary on the new Planescape guide. I've literally been waiting for this since it was announced!

I will say that- as much as I enjoy my castles and forests D&D- Planescape is really cool as a setting. My first exposure to it was Planescape: Torment, but I wish I had played it more. I'm looking forward to the new Planescape book.

I got to meet Zeb Cook a little while ago and tell him that Planescape was my favorite campaign setting :).

I have the old Planescape box (2nd Ed i think). Briefly looked through it. Never had the type of group that would be into it. Added Spelljammer into our existing homebrew campaign back in 2E as a possible lead in to Planescape but it fizzled before we even finished the first adventure due to incompatible player group and general life stuff. Given the handling of Spelljammer by WOTC (looked at the book and didn't buy it), I am not very hopeful about this. You'll notice that BLM is talking about the box that I already have and doesn't mention anything about the new book specifically. WOTC is relaying so much on nostalgia to sell these new books that I doubt they will be as extensive as the original. I think I would be better off just converting it to 5E myself (as I would for Spelljammer). Most of the stuff in the old books is plot and story anyways so just use the newest monster stats or swap out for something else and you are good to go!

im not gon lie... bro is carrying your advertising campaign for this book. i found myself halfway through going "oh. I know what I should ask people for on the holidays."

I was generally interested in this coming out, I'm so focused on getting things that are on sale or kickstarters that are about to close, but now I'm seriously freaking interested in this and now I need to figure out how to get it thanks a lot lol

Brennan Lee Mulligan is so happy and the Lady of Pain is LITERALLY right behind him!

I didn't know it was Brennan's favorite setting, but I am also super not surprised.

Planescape is and has always been my favourite setting, I'm so glad that it's finally officially back.

brennan is amazing as spokeperson for new products, he's a comedian actor and narrator for DnD, he can sell me anything in seconds.

take a shot every time someone says something about an angel and a devil getting a drink together

I'm glad he's having so much fun with it, I don't think I could wrap my head around all that personally. My brain is fairly ordered and rules-stickler-y so I think this setting as a whole would probably just melt my head with inconsistencies and bizarreness. Then again, I'm already a little strained trying to wrap my head around how the feywild works and that's considered basic these days.

Planescape was one of my favorite settings as well.

Bought these books a month or so ago, planning on running it for my first official attempt at DMing alongside an original world I’ve made with inspiration from Dragonlance and Strixhaven, I’ve written and planned out cities, encounters, and NPC’s. I’m so stoked.

Every dm so has spent time with sigil loves it. It's so much fun to write and create for

They joy here is so real! That time of you're life when you are discovering what D&D is, is truly magical and irreplaceable. My first DMG was the Spiderwick Guidebook! I adored it and still use Those "monsters" in my games today. Love you Brennan uwu we need to vibe together! ❤

Shout out to Tony DiTerlizzi, the Spiderwick Chronicles and especially its art helped forge my undying love of the fantasy genre. And my deep fear of trolls.

Maybe now that Brennan insists on the correct pronunciation for Sigil, and gave a real-world example, people will use it.

He's so delightful I'd die for him

Planescape was one of my all time favorite video games backing the day.

griff mulligan sounds like the name of a bounty hunter that would be han solo’s biggest rival.

Brennan i will HAPPILY play in a planescape campaign with you any day. not much could bring me more joy

I love the Planescape setting, but I'm worried these new source books will be short, full of art and lore, but light on mechanics on how to actually run this ambitious setting

‘Philosophers with clubs’. Sigil is shaped like car’s tire, with the building set within the curved area. It’s easily the best setting ever created. I own ‘nearly’ everything released in 2nd Edition.

TIL I have the same favourite illustrator as Brennan!

Brennan at xmas: "yay! The Sectarian Violence handbook! Thanks mum!"

I didn’t know Brennan was a 14 year old philosophy major, but it makes so much sense

I already wanted to play in planescape setting but now I want to even more

Ok. He’s a true fan.

I adore Brennan's mispronunciation of the name of the city of Sigil. It's precious.

Side quest of dimension 20 DM’d by Griff? Ok let’s go

So THAT'S where Matt Mercer got the pronunciation of "sigil" from

Philosophers with clubs!

I've been trying to come up with what the final arc of my current D&D campaign is going to be. So far i had it planned that arc 2 would end, there'd be a time skip and then they'd take care of loose ends and fight the big bad. But with the release of these books coming up I started thinking about a multiverse of madness style adventure having the characters journey around through the various planes to take down a Godlike being who got to that level by "The One starring Jet Li"-ing himself then returning to take down the godlike entity threatening their realm

My favorite Planescape memories are our DM's portrayal of Akin the friendly fiend, and it was before all the times D&D and WotC started intercoursing over the players with their 4th ed. and 5th ed. shenanigans.

Tony DiTerlizzi is a legend, tbf

Dark Sun supremacy! (Spelljammer close to my heart )

Brennan, you don't know me....but you're a legend too.

Planescape is unequivocally the greatest campaign setting in DnD history. It’s so good.

I love watching him geek out so joyously with this shit

Only if the wizard of the coast executives loved their product like brennan! He's the best dm in the biz

I have my planescape books that are older than me and I cherish them more than my computer

Planescape was absolutely my favorite non-homebrew setting until I discovered Eberron. Both are amazing, though.

Brennan slides ever closer to making a "children yearn for the mines" joke. Soon...

First thing I noticed, the Rilmani have gone from being able to shape-shift into any humanoid creature to not being able to shape shift at all.
