Dimension 20

Being a fantasy nerd and former player of D&D myself. I felt hugely intrigued, when I saw the trailer for Fantasy High. The moment I finished watching Ep.1, I became hooked. I love the chemistry between the players, the story, the setting of Eguefort Adventuring Academy and the characters each player made.

As things progress; I wonder if we'll see centaur janitors, pixies as cheerleaders, gargoyles as stoners and other cliques or staff given a fantasy revamp

Very high quality DnD content. If you love fantasy, fantasy high is for you, if you want more of that gritty content you should check out unsleeping city, and so on. This series got me to play dnd, after binging the first season of fantasy high.

There is a huge variety of storylines and its not all for me but there is something for everyone and it is the most fun you will ever have. Don't be put off by the fact that you are watching them play dnd. It is honestly immersive and once you have watched the first episode of Fantasy High you will be hooked. I disliked The & but it is interesting and many people would. Be careful before you watch if you dislike sexual or sweary things as some campaigns and episodes can be disgusting so it is probably best to be over 15 before you try it. You will want to be part of the story and play D&D after watching. You should give Fantasy High and Starstruck Odyssey a chance if nothing else. You wont regret looking at the highlights either. Its full to the brim with lgbt representation( asexual awareness is definitely there in fantasty for sure in case you thought it might not represent you). But it is also full of mental health representation and belly laughs too.

There are few shows more perfect than Dimension 20. If you DON'T like "theater of the mind" shows, this is not for you - this is a live-play D&D series, D&D is a tabletop roleplaying game and so you're essentially watching a group of people playing a board game - in the case of Dimension 20, the "board game" is a multi-hour long epic of fantasy and adventure, played by a group of hilarious College Humor comedians/improv artists that keep things witty, fun, and funny. So be warned! There's no animation, there's not scripted scenes - its all happening "live" (its improv! An improv board game!). The selling points: Incredibly unique use of visual aids and game maps that surpass any other D&D show you've ever seen (eat your heart out Critical Role), the shortened episodes keep the pacing fast (D&D sessions are normally 4 hours, whereas Dimension 20 runs a very reasonable 2 hours most of the time), Brennan's incredibly powerful ability to keep a story moving at lightning speed in a way that feels accessible/easy to understand/fun, and the guest stars that come in are the glue that hold the thing together (players tend to rotate by season or Dimension 20 universe - there are several diff universes). Tl;dr Its all very funny and entertaining and its like watching a group of people act out a storybook but the storybook is improv'ed and exciting and awesome. RPG lovers, Fantasty/Adventure lovers, Scifi lovers, Bookworms, Nerds, and Nerds alike - this show is the one for you.

I've never been able to get past the cringe factor when watching people play D&D, but CollegeHumour somehow just OWNS it!

The setting is kind of farcical, but not to the point that the characters can't evolve with each session. And watching the actors improvise and adapt while playing is just pure joy.

10/10 Stars. I'm on episode 5, Fabian and his papa are just about the best thing I've ever seen.
