Show Title: Dimension 20: A Court of Fey & Flowers Audience Rating: Unrated, but I'd say fine for older teens and above Warnings: Elaborating on the rating, this has some jokes about sex and drugs that might not be appropriate for younger viewers Length of Episodes: ~2 hours Length of Series: 10 episodes Why you recommend it: This actual-play tabletop roleplaying campaign is a mash-up of multiple systems including Dungeons & Dragons and the Jane Austen-inspired roleplaying game Good Society. The characters are all inhabitants of the Faerie realm who've come together for the social event of the season - the Bloom - to make moves both personal and political. This includes two kenku cousins with a reputation for hedonism who have promised their stern grandfather they will find respectable matches at the Bloom, a decorated soldier from the Goblin Court there to arrange a marriage for a princess while unexpectedly finding love himself, a socially awkward prince of the Unseelie Court making his social debut, and a mysterious uninvited guest. That setup right there is half of why I love it, and the execution is the other half. The cast are all experienced roleplayers and comedians who throw themselves wholeheartedly into Regency romance along with a DM who is amazing at worldbuilding and weaving the complex threads of court politics and romance into something special. The characters are all queer and bring some wonderful variety of backstory and fantastical forms to the mix.
