For one recent episode of the”Worlds Beyond Number” podcast, producer Taylor Moore hit the Pro Tools track limit. Twice.

But every two weeks for the past two years, players Aabria Iyengar, Erika Ishii,...

Warning: this article contains spoilers for season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina.The Legend of Vox Machina has changed quite a bit of the story of the rag-tag adventuring party when compared to the original stream from Critical Role, but the third season introduced some major twists with ramifications that still have yet to become clear. Some of these changes in The Legend of Vox Machina season 3 have been for greater emotional impact and some have been to help the flow of the story, but either way, The Legend of Vox Machina's 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes makes it clear these were changes for the better. So far though, none have been so sweeping as the changes to how Vox Machina acquired the Plate of the Dawnmartyr.

Dimension 20 Leans Into Our Saddest Cartoons

After recently celebrating its five-year anniversary, internet streaming service Dropout has proven itself a mover and shaker in the tabletop space.

Burrow's End is a new season of Dimension 20 inspired by fantasy stories like The Secret of Nimh and Watership Down, following a family of stoats in the Blue Forest. Aabria Iyengar has assembled a fantastic cast for this season, including Dimension 20 veterans and newcomers to the show. Iyengar's storytelling style is cinematic and takes into account both the players and the audience, creating a unique and immersive experience.

Dimension 20 is celebrating its twentieth season with a new side quest, GMed by Aabria Iyengar, Burrow's End. The new season takes inspiration from fantasy stories, including The Secret of Nimh and Watership Down, and follows a family of stoats who live in the Blue Forest. The family has lived a relatively peaceful existence, but that is threatened when they must leave their burrow and work together to survive the dangers of the forest, be they natural or something beyond.

Dropout's wildly successful Dungeons and Dragons Ttrpg series, Dimension 20 is heading into its 20th season on the streamer. Formerly College Humor, the company recently celebrated Dropout's fifth anniversary, and with the occasion changed the entire brand to Dropout. A cornerstone of Dropout's success has been the ever-evolving series of Dnd campaigns held in the dome, featuring a rotating circuit of players and game masters delivering wildly imaginative Ttrpg stories. Returning to the table as the game master for the 20th season, titled Burrow's End, is Aabria Iyengar, the mastermind behind previous campaigns A Court of Fey and Flowers and Misfits and Magic.

Ahead of Dimension 20's new Dungeons and Dragons campaign, Burrow's End, I sat down with game master Aabria Iyengar to discuss the new season and dig deep into some of the story elements that fans can look forward to this season. During our conversation about fantasy and role-playing, Iyengar took a moment to share praise for the heroes of the ongoing labor movement. We discussed the Dnd day held back in August in support of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which saw many Dimension 20 regulars and Dnd fans alike hitting the picket lines to support the hardworking creatives that bring our favorite movies and television shows to life.

We're in the middle of a Dungeons and Dragons (Dnd) renaissance, with shows like Dimension 20 and Critical Role rolling a nat 20 in the last few years and becoming a smash hit among fantasy and pop culture fans. From television shows and movies like Stranger Things and Honor Among Thieves to the wildly popular RPG game Baldur's Gate 3, Dnd is more mainstream than ever. Dimension 20, Dropout's (formerly College Humor) beloved Dnd series, is kicking off its 20th season this week with Burrow's End. Ahead of the series premiere, I sat down with game master Aabria Iyengar to discuss the new campaign and the inspiration behind the mythical story which follows a family of Stoats as they're forced to flee the only home they've ever known.

Dimension 20 has distinguished itself from other series in the Ttrpg scene by embracing the inherent comedy of Dropout as a brand with genre-bending adventure, intrigue, and drama. Shifting from setting and genre with each storyline, the show's twentieth season -- corresponding with Dropout's fifth anniversary -- brings back Aabria Iyengar as Dm for Burrow's End.

Taking cues from dark children's literature like Watership Down, the season focuses on a family of Stoats as they try to survive a dangerous and ever-changing world. During an interview with Cbr, Aabria Iyengar discussed the biggest surprises of the new season, how Burrow's End evolved into an emotional exploration of motherhood, and if she'd want to return to the worlds seen in the seasons she previously Dm'ed.

Aabria Iyengar: Oh my gosh, thank you so much.

Say hi stupendous stoats! Welcome to a new season of the beloved Dnd anthology series Dimension 20. The new trailer released today invites you to join Game Master Aabria Iyengar on a journey to Burrow's End. This season marks Iyengar's third turn as Gm for Dimension 10 following Magic & Misfits and last year's A Court of Fey & Flowers. In the new trailer, we're introduced to a world of magic and whimsy with a deep secret and an oncoming storm. Burrow's End will see our players gather around the table as a family of stoats living in "the Blue Forest." When matriarch Ava, adult sisters Tula and Viola, Viola’s husband Thorn Vale, and Tula’s children Jaysohn and Lila, find themselves faced with the possibility of having to leave their home, they'll find themselves "re-evaluating" their lives as they take on "forces both natural and unnatural."...
