I am so obsessed with this show that I keep forgetting their real names. Collegehumor will release a skit and I'm like "oh look this one has Kristen in it"

[@alpaca990]

For like two weeks straight I couldn't understand why everyone else had a different name from their own and Kristen kept theirs the same. Then my boyfriend had to remind me their real name is Ally. Lol it's such an engrossing show, I hope it gets more than just two seasons

[@Nananananaheckyes]

Literally probably the best DnD real play show. Every single person and character has such a vivid personality. As much as some people may only like SuPeR SiRUS dnd games and think everything else is a vicious mockery of the game, it's games like these that make dnd worth watching and playing for me

[@EggandToast2024]

I’ve been watching collegehumor stuff since I was a little kid, and now I’m 23 and I can confidently say that this is my favorite series they’ve ever done. I think everyone is a little hesitant to give new cast members a chance, but as soon as I saw Brennan on this show I immediately put him up with the greats of the good old days like Streeter, Josh, Jake, Amir and all of those guys. I really hope there’s another season

[@Charlielx]

Same here! Been watching CH since near the start of Jake and Amir and I'm 23 now. With D20 Brennan skyrocketed to my favorite cast member(with the rest of the D20 cast coming in a close 2nd). Also Season 2 is already confirmed, along with side episodes in between now and then, although the side episodes will be with a different cast(still Brennan DMing though) and the second season won't be set in the Fantasy High universe

[@GeekGames73]

According to Brennan on Twitter, there'll be mini campaigns released in Spring and a full season 2 in the Summer, both completely separate from Fantasy High!

[@quasarnova]

Literally the exact same feeling and circumstance bro. I've been watching since I was a kid and I'm 23 now. I've never binged any KZbin series like I binged this one. The Guild, VGHS, and LARP: The Series come all in close second.

[@mutantcube1737]

I'm relatively new to college humor and I'm kind of young, but I also love this series just the same and I'm super excited for the next season, also how about escape from blood keep, better or worse than fantasy high?

[@marlonc56]

Same here for everything you just said, except I'm 22. Idk why people hate on the new cast and crew. The skits aren't always a hit. But the cast have great personalities & performances that personally keep me watching.

[@apatheticamortentia]

I’ve never really gotten into watching D&D campaigns before this one. I believe the reasoning for that being most of the other campaigns are based on the original game, which I know nothing about. This is a new world we’re all learning about & being introduced to at the same time.

[@mariast7218]

I didn't know how to describe it but this is exactly it for me too.

[@CharalamposKoundourakis]

The original game and this are very very close - he's only using a slightly different setting. Most D&D campaigns also do this. Critical Role made up their whole thing.

[@mariast7218]

@@CharalamposKoundourakis i get that but whenever i try to watch another campaign online i get confused quickly because it seems like they assume that i know what's happening and while i see this here too, i think they recognize that their audience didn't subscribe for this therefore there is a number of them that don't know anything about it so it is more understandable

[@apatheticamortentia]

@@CharalamposKoundourakis I do understand that it is the same game, but a different setting. I've played the original, and was never really into the standard, medieval world it was set is all. This is cooler. B)

[@DanteYewToob]

You said it, same here. They don't assume we all sleep cuddling a DnD handbook and use more common language, and cool visuals to help us follow what's going on. They struck a rare and perfect balance that keeps it simple enough to be easy to follow, but complex enough that we slowly learn the rules and pick up on things that make us want to learn more and play a game ourselves! I wish there was a digital DnD so I could play with people! That would be cool, like online poker kinda but DnD! Although at the same time I never want to play, because no one will ever be as amazing a DM as Brennan lol it's like losing your virginity to a porn star, or having Gordon Ramsey cook you dinner every night and trying to move on... we've been ruined.. spoiled... no game will ever compare! Haha (Although I'm totally starting a Gorgug play thru on Skyrim on my switch haha that will have to do...)

[@cathrinebjrkasjerge6039]

I've honestly never seen a D&D game, or know anything about D&D, but this show has me binging it like crazy. Brennan is AMAZING, and the rest of the cast are playing it with such engagement, that I just cannot get enough! The improv is just magical, this is one of the very few shows that keep me laughing loudly, as well as gasping of shock when something happens. I want so badly to play D&D now, it's insane! Thank you so much, guys

[@raoul22]

I feel exactly the same, this show is pure entertainment and it makes me want to play this game so bad.

Fantasy High is one of the best things I've had the pleasure of experiencing in my life. That's not even an understatement.

Thank you to everyone who worked on Fantasy High, and keep up the good work!

[@Charlielx]

I agree! I've been shouting it from the mountaintops ever since the second episode was just as good as the already amazing first episode. Seriously cannot possibly recommend this show enough for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Best thing I've ever watched on the internet by far. I hope it lasts as long as CH does

The thing I probably respect most about Brennan is his innate ability to build this really funny, relaxed scene - and then immediately go into the most soul crushing moment. He does it flawlessly, and balances it throughout the campaign so well. I'd kill to have a DM like him.

@@gargamellenoir8460 HyperRPG had a live RPG show similar to this, but based on the Power Ranger universe called "Hyperforce". HyperRPG, being live, had audience able to influence the story and affect the characters. Dimension20 is quite different, because it's not live and because it uses physical props. If you want to check out the episodes, search Hyperforce on HyperRPG on KZbin. All the episodes are available, however they are longer than Dimension20 episodes by at least an hour.

@@gjohnnys88 I was thinking that until I remembered Gothalax was there and Fabian was still up. Gorthalax is very powerful and I feel it would have been easier to have Gorthalax have some sort of mass healing. Also Fabian could still do stuff so theoretically it wasn't over yet. It's the way Brenan looked at the role it just seemed genuine for me but that's just my take maybe I'm just in denial.

This series mad eme so happy. As a RPG nerd and everything. You REALLY have some of the best improvisers in the world. I think this season in particular would made a perfect adults cartoon series. You could take 99% of the charming, always in-character dialouge from Murph, Emily, Ally, Siobhan, Zac, and Lou and Brennan. The animation could have a similar style to the beutiful artworks we've seen. The investigations would be manageable to animate and the highlights would be the battles, that only take around 3 minutes in real time.
