S2 of Fantasy High is fantastic. Crown of Candy is also excellent, Unsleeping City... none of them are bad, as stated. My least favorite is The Seven, simply because the vibe is so much different from the typical crew and everyone's always talking over one another

I can’t believe I forgot to mention Bloodkeep, since it was my first real exposure to D20 (it’s on YouTube for free). The two-punch combo of Mercer and LotR parody makes it a fantastic starting point for anyone who wants to dip their toe into D20 specifically or Actual Play more broadly.

The latest episode of Dimension 20 (Starstruck ep. 11) was fantastic. The latter half especially felt like peak D20: Brennan’s characterizations of the NPCs was top notch. The Junkmother struck a wonderful combination of charming and terrifying, and the leader of the Art Squad’s aura of cringe was palpable (with amazing response from Lou). The A.C.E. device was utterly absurd but still helped sell the increased stakes. I think that ranking the seasons of D20 will remain as impossible as ever after this campaign is over.

My general recommendation is to watch the first two episodes of Fantasy High. That will hook most people, and it leads to Season 2 of Fantasy High which is just phenomenal IMO

It’s totally worth it. Sophomore Year is the best overall season of D20, imo. The fact it was filmed live is the perfect counter-argument whenever someone claims that the show is edited and therefore rigged.

IMO it’s great to watch the players steadily get better at the game from season to season. That first cafeteria fight in Fantasy High had plenty of facepalm poo poo, but then you see fights in CoC or Starstruck where the crew plays all of their cards right and succeeds spectacularly. It’s really entertaining from both an individual and meta perspective.

Which, god drat, he didn't gently caress around when he came on board It was recorded the same day that the first couple episodes of Fantasy High were filmed.

Is Neverafter actually a horror season, though? Ostensibly it is of course and it has had some moments, but I wouldn't say it's much scarier overall than Fantasy High Sophomore Year. I'm still enjoying it (especially after the last couple episodes), but IMO it's less tense than A Crown of Candy.

Somberbrero posted:Big Neverafter episode 19 spoilers: I was under the impression that this is what the Corruption Tokens were originally designed for. They expected some players to randomly die during the season and come back in these twisted forms, otherwise the crew wouldn't have made her "Thorn Revenant" mini ahead of time. The climactic timing here just meant that Brennan had to improvise something instantaneous rather than during a post-combat development (like I imagine would have happened if PiB had been successfully headshot in the Dogfish encounter).

NieR Occomata posted:I honestly think the end of Crown of Candy just doesn’t work. I find that uh, moment everyone talks about as so emotional just doesn’t land for me because it felt like such an obvious, foregone conclusion where the people involved would always make the choice they did. You mean the prisoner's dilemma at the end? Yeah, it's a foregone conclusion for the same reason an actual prisoner's dilemma goes the way it does: Your decision will have long-term ramifications on your reputation. A career criminal will not turn on his partner because he'll be branded a snitch/rat and be murdered. None of the players in CoC will turn on their friends because they want to continue being friends in the future.

eke out posted:matt is a perfect choice for the kind of gravely serious gravitas and dark, political worldbuilding required for a bunch of candy guys I unironically agree. CoC doesn't have a ton of bits and jokes, but it works on a network like Dropout because you have a deadly serious plot/game mechanics that take place in this utterly absurd setting. The contrast makes every minute a deadpan comedy

There’s a lot of great seasons, but my personal favorite has been Fantasy High S2, Sophomore Year. It has tons of incredibly funny and memorable comedy bits while simultaneously exploring some creepy segments, hitting a great tonal mix that Neverafter couldn’t quite replicate. Plus the entire season was performed live on Twitch, so if anyone claims that D20 is heavily scripted because it’s edited you can just point at this season.

DeathSandwich posted:I just finished Worlds Beyond Number episode 9 and holy poo poo. Things in this city seem bad beyond the likes of which a group of level ones can hope to fix. The group is extremely not in harmony, Suvi is about to reap what she has sown with regards to flippantly pushing wizard flexes and is tasked to bring to order a situation that is far outside of her control. Ursulon is quite literally lost in the sauce, and Ame is having her hand forced by the fox to go through with her original plan to try and deal with the extremely angry nature spirit beyond the city. I love how the derrick is just peak Brennan. A combination analogy for whaling, bear bile farming, climate change and WMDs? I'm honestly impressed he was able to cram all of that in there.

Fobby posted:For me, Breaking News is a delicate balance. It's not super entertaining to get someone like Katie who's too good at it or someone like Amy who's abominable (after the novelty of the first chortling meltdown, at least). You need to get contestants who have a baseline stoicism but can be driven over the edge by the sight of the boss drinking sterilized urine. I still like some of their improv prompt response segments though. Yeah, one of my all-time favorite Dropout bits is seeing Brennan lose it in True Facts About Grant O'Brien Part 2. Brennan's ordinarily very stoic, but the one-two punch of "Hello, I'm 50" and the Bernie Sanders line just sent him reeling. Magitek fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Jul 25, 2023 |

Yeah, there have been behind-the-scenes bits where this is apparent. Considering the original dome was condemned by the California fire marshal just in time to screw over the finale of Sophomore Year, nobody’s taking chances here.
