If you're tired of traditional sitcoms, "Dimension 20" offers comedy born from collaborative creativity — each episode is unique, and Mulligan's charisma as a DM is unmatched.
The premiere on CollegeHumor (now Dropout) took place on September 12, 2018 — the flagship actual play show for Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop RPGs. Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan guides comedic actors through improvised campaigns: from the fantasy "Fantasy High" (a magic school in the style of "Buffy") to the space opera "A Starstruck Odyssey." The format features long sessions (2–4 hours) with a high level of production: sets, costumes, special effects, rather than just players at a table. The tone is comedic, but with unexpectedly deep drama: Mulligan is known for bringing players' characters to tears with emotional twists. For fans of "Dungeons and Dragons," Critical Role, and those seeking smart comedic content with elements of improvisation.
No, the rules are explained along the way or hidden behind the scenes — focus on the story and characters, not on dice rolls.
Main campaigns run 10–20 episodes of 2–4 hours, sidequests are shorter — you can watch selectively, starting with any campaign.
“Fantasy High” (season 1) — a classic start, or “The Unsleeping City” (New York with magic) for a modern setting.
There are no official ones, but fan translations are available for popular campaigns (Fantasy High, A Crown of Candy).
Shorter campaigns, higher comedic density, professional sets, and a less "theatrical," more improvisational style of play.
