The Theory That Brennan Lee Mulligan Himself Will Be The Final Boss Of Dimension 20 Neverafter Doesn't

The theory that Brennan Lee Mulligan himself will be the final boss of Dimension 20 Neverafter doesn't ring true to me, and I think I've unpacked why. Let me show my work.

1. Lazy

"What if it turns out the big bad is the Dungeon Master themselves?" is an idea most DMs have when planning their first campaign. Brennan Lee Mulligan is a professional, DMing on a show that people pay money to watch. It's too route 1 of an idea for someone in that position.

2. Cheesy

This is the horror season, gang. Plopping down a mini of yourself and telling your friends "now your PCs have to fight ... me!!" is inherently goofy and would go against the tone of the series.

3. Inconsistent

It doesn't fit the lore! For one thing, The Authors are described as fundamentally unknowable: unthinkably vast, Lovecraftian entities operating on a plane of consciousness that makes their minds utterly unfathomable to the players' characters. To then say "and here's the Author you're gonna fight, it's me, your pal who does bird facts on command" would undercut all that (see point 2. Cheesy).

And another thing: yes, Brennan Lee Mulligan is a storyteller. But he's not the same type of storyteller as The Authors. The Authors are all about canonicity. They take their own preferred versions of stories and fix them in Ink, trapping the characters into a destiny they have no control over. That's not how BLM tells stories! He runs roleplaying games! He willingly gives six other people control over where the story goes, and flings dice about to take it even more out of all of their control. To then put himself on the board as the avatar of The Authors, upholders of 'this is how I've decided the story goes, you just shut up and listen', would be a funny gag but wouldn't ring true.

What magic do I learn if I want to kill people with my mind?

Kane and Jason’s relationship is told through the voicemails that they leave each other. As the story progresses, they move in together and open a queer dry bar, which becomes an important part of the local LGBTQIA+ community.
