Dimension 20

[rogueslayer452]

Show Title: Dimension 20
Audience Rating: Teen and up/Mature Audiences
Warnings: Descriptions of violence, strong language,
Length of Episodes: 60-180 minutes
Length of Series: 24 seasons, 257 episodes (and counting)
Why you recommend it: Hosted by Brennan Lee Mulligan, Dimension 20 is an TTRPG webseries on Dropout, consisting of multiple different campaigns of various fictional stories and settings, and different players rotating throughout.

For anyone who feels overwhelmed by the sheer number of hours and episodes of Critical Role, I think Dimension 20 might be a better starting point since I think it's easier to digest. While there are many seasons, every campaign is quite short. The longest a campaign has gotten to is about 20 episodes, and while a lot of them are one-shot mini-campaigns some are continuing stories. I first got into D20 through watching clips on YouTube, and I was immediately hooked by the chaotic nature of not just Brennan Lee Mulligan's DMing style but also the players and the stories that were being told. Every campaign is different, so there is something for everyone.

Most of the campaigns are available to watch for free on YouTube, although some select campaigns can only be watched by subscribing to Dropout.
