Want to get into Dimension 20 but don't know where to start? Have a friend who you want to get into it but don't know where to point them? Run the official Dimension 20 account and need a new pinned tweet explaining everything? ✨Here's the thread for you!✨
Dimension 20 is an actualplay TTRPG series (that uses 5e D&D) led by Game Master @BrennanLM & directed by @mschaubach, mixing comedy, pathos, worldbuilding, supportive werewolf guidance counselors, & more. If you're a seasoned D&D vet or a newcomer, we promise you'll dig it.
Each season is filled with amazing improvisers, comedians, and all-star TTRPG legends - supported by character illustrations from a ton of amazing artists like @kendracandraw @sktchmstrskllz @SirVictorThe2nd @alecgrosso and more!
Practically every season has custom battlesets and minis designed by a team led by @RichardHPerry, so that every encounter is brought to life in the most incredible ways possible.
It's an anthology show, so pretty much every season is a new world, with new characters & storylines (with exceptions like Fantasy High: Sophomore Year and Pirates of Leviathan). That means you can start wherever you want, with whatever setting sounds the most interesting to you!
Every single season of Dimension 20 and piece of bonus content (like talkback show Adventuring Party + Behind the Scenes) is available in full on @dropout. New episodes go up on Wednesdays at 7pm EST. Sign up here! https://www.dropout.tv/checkou...
The first season is Fantasy High - and is basically summed up by "What if John Hughes ran a game of D&D?" Taking place in the suburban town of Elmville, we follow 6 freshman at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy (@vornietom @eaxford @chmurph @ZacOyama @agbeardsley & Lou Wilson).
The whole first season of Fantasy High is available to watch for free on our Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/playli... and available as audio-only podcasts @ApplePodcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/... @SpotifyPodcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/... @Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podca... https://x.com/dimension20show/...
We highly recommend you watch at least through the end of episode 2. We also highly recommend you post any chat conversations you had with friends while watching the end of episode 2. https://www.dropout.tv/dimensi... https://x.com/dimension20show/...
If you'd like just a sampling of what Fantasy High has in store for you, there is a running thread of half-orc Gorgug Thistlespring desperately trying to figure out who his dad is....by asking pretty much every adult he can find if they're his dad.
The story of Fantasy High is continued in Fantasy High: Sophomore Year, which is available only on http://DROPOUT.tv. No battlesets for this season (since it was aired live), but we think you'll love it all the same. https://www.dropout.tv/dimensi...
Plus: more Gilear, "Hilda Hilda", Ayda Aguefort, Garthy O'Brien, Baby, Baron from the Baronies, Kalina / Shadowcat, and so much more.
Our 1st sidequest is ESCAPE FROM THE BLOODKEEP - that's BASICALLY "what happens to the villains in Mordor at the end of Lord of the Rings?" Featuring @matthewmercer @vorpahlsword @erikaishii @IfyNwadiwe @rekhalshankar and @MikeWTrapp! https://www.dropout.tv/dimensi...
Sidequests are a little shorter, but just as packed with amazing characters and storylines. Luckily, all of EFTBK is also available on our Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/playli... and as audio-only podcasts.
Many seasons include lots of behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, live shows, and/or talkbacks - so if you REALLY wanna know how @erikaishii went about creating everyone's favorite Spider-Mom, get ready to dive in.
Our next full campaign is THE UNSLEEPING CITY - reuniting the cast of Fantasy High in a magical version of New York City, featuring mutant Santas, a secret 6th borough, a hunky paladin firefighter, Stephen Sondheim, and so much more! https://www.dropout.tv/dimensi...
And again, season 1 of THE UNSLEEPING CITY is all available on our Youtube channel and through our podcast! https://www.youtube.com/playli...
We're currently in the midst of season 2 of The Unsleeping City, and it's available on http://DROPOUT.tv. Everything was shot remotely due to the pandemic, but the magic of NYC is still there.
Next up is the sidequest TINY HEIST (think Ocean's 11 meets The Borrowers and Toy Story) - featuring @griffinmcelroy @JustinMcElroy @travismcelroy @LilyD, Jess Ross, and Clint McElroy as tiny people pulling off a big crime. https://www.dropout.tv/dimensi...
And then A CROWN OF CANDY, an epic sprawling campaign set in a world of food-people that's basically "What if Game of Thrones met Candy Land?" (and again reunites the Fantasy High cast) https://www.dropout.tv/dimensi...
Next comes PIRATES OF LEVIATHAN, an all-pirate sidequest taking place in the world of Fantasy High, but featuring a new cast of scallywags: @MatthewMercer @Marisha_Ray @CarlosCrits @quiddie @KrystinaArielle @BDaveWalters https://www.dropout.tv/dimensi...
And if you want to know the future of Dimension 20, don't worry, we're always working on new stuff. New campaigns are being shot, planned, and edited AS WE SPEAK. There are new worlds to visit, old ones to return to, and so much more coming your way.

Ultimately, Dimension 20 is about love, friendship, and connection. We've been lucky to be led by @BrennanLM and the countless players, crew, editors, and artists who make this show what it is - and for the incredible fans who support us.
Speaking of the fans, they are what make the show worth doing. The amount of fan illustrations, music, crafts, cosplay, etc. is absolutely mind-boggling. Here's a compilation of SOME of the fan art made around A Crown of Candy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
...and we HAVE to mention the TWO fan albums made for Fantasy High: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... & https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ...AND this multi-animator project by @d20animated! https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
