We chat with Dimension20's Brennan Lee Mulligan (BrennanLM) about taking inspiration from RuPaulsDragRace, his look, and the character creation in DungeonsAndDragQueens. dimension20show airs Wednesdays on dropout:
The new Dimension 20 season of Dungeons and Drag Queens follows a new gang of adventurers, The Questing Queens, on an all-new adventure. Princess, Troyánn, Gertrude, and Twyla are traveling together to the underworld, each with a different mission in mind, some hoping for answers, vengeance, a way to help their people, or even peace. However, not all is as it seems, with people from each of their pasts involved in a larger conspiracy.
Brennan Lee Mulligan: The look was managed by two incredible professionals: Denise Valentine, who's our head of hair and makeup. Our key hair and makeup artist at Dimension 20. She is a day one Dropout original. I've known her for almost six years now, and she's just phenomenal. And Jenny Newman, our amazing costume designer. Her work is all over the TTRPG space. She's phenomenal. So they put together the costume, the makeup, the look, and everything. It was a joy.
Brennan Lee Mulligan: This was one of those seasons where we knew the cast before we knew the world. So, we were talking about going to the cast and basically saying, "It's dealer's choice. Whatever kind of world you want to play in." And I had this hunch from just having run games for a lot of people. I was like, "Dollars to doughnuts, we're gonna go in there, and we're going to offer them this variety of worlds to play in.
I think it's so much fun. I love all the characters. I was curious: was there anything you took from Matt's style after playing with him that you brought into your own DM style? Brennan Lee Mulligan: It's so fun. I feel like you have to keep the forward momentum going, but people are also learning the rules for the first time. So having that flexibility and fluidity to kind of move with the tide as new pieces of information are being discovered. It's really, really significant.
I completely was thinking of that when I was watching it. It's that perfect fun, especially when you could see them really click into the game, like with Princess punching the goblin or snapping Wallace's spin. Brennan Lee Mulligan: So so funny. Oh my god. I love it. But it's great. It's exactly what Alaska should have done. That's the dream. That’s the promise of D&D. I'm gonna go to a tavern. I'm gonna meet someone annoying.
Brennan Lee Mulligan: It was beautiful, and it's all Bob. Bob came fully formed with that quest and that idea. He's just so wildly talented and wonderful. Bob, by the way, also the person who suggested the look I ended up with in the season. That was an early conversation that we had with the Queens.
Dropout our core values, our beliefs, our ideals are all right out there in the public square for anyone who wants to engage with them. I think showing not only our belief in the talent of and our passion and joy for drag as a performance art, but also showing our solidarity and support for that community, which is us and our community. We have so many LGBTQ people that are both in front of and behind the camera.
Brennan Lee Mulligan: Listen, the only warning I would have to give is that she's one of the greatest D&D players that has ever lived on this planet! The reason that she is so highly sought after as a D&D player has played in all of the biggest D&D shows is because her talent, her gift for storytelling, all of it is just so undeniable.
Brennan Lee Mulligan: Truly, Caitlin, I'm gonna tell you something really dumb. Just the pun death drop. That's it. That's why. That was literally it. Cause high fantasy, there's so many locations you can go to, but thinking about the thing that really inspired my kind of thinking was, I used to play this poor game called Hero Quest that's very much in the vein, of this kind of world we're living in.
It was such a funny thing to just improvise the description of a spell, and have Jujubee go like, [mouth wide in amazement] at a narration of a spell. I look and be like, "I've watched you do a triple backflip into a split, and glitter pops out of your wig. You're giving me a level of, "Wow, man, that was incredible." I'm just talking.
Brennan Lee Mulligan: Oh, my God, that's so good. That makes me really happy to hear. That people feel invited. They should! We want them to. Brennan Lee Mulligan: Well, it's interesting. I think you'll see as the episodes go along that there are subtle, yes, both of them have experienced loss and grief. But I think there's still very [different arcs]. Twyla is carrying the seed of the Allblossom and still has this sort of potential to be the savior of her [people]. There's a last bit of hope there that she's holding on to.
