(Thus far, only “Fantasy High” and “The Unsleeping City,” about a group of heroes fighting supernatural forces in modern day New York, have gone longer than a single season.) The consistency with which Dimension 20 shakes things up has helped give it a different kind of longevity compared to some of its fellow Actual Play titans, and each season - including the current 12th season, A Starstruck Odyssey, set to wrap up next week - is able to feel like a natural part of the franchise while also its own distinct thing.

Its debut season of “Fantasy High” starred a group of teenagers in a high school for adventurers, and following seasons have turned D20 into an anthology series featuring different settings, characters, and often different castmates. Using other TTRPG systems like Masks or Powered by the Apocalypse, there’s a show for just about anything, be it NeoScum’s cyberpunk world lifted from Shadowrun, or the Afro-futurism of Into the Motherlands.ĭropout’s Dimension 20 has become one of the bigger shows in the Actual Play space. There isn’t a shortage of shows wherein players tell enthralling stories while rolling dice and having a good time, and the genre goes far beyond just Dungeons & Dragons.
While Critical Role is likely the first that many will think of when it comes to shows based on role-playing games, the world of Actual Play is practically an industry unto itself at this point.
