For lovers of 'Critical Role' and tabletop gaming, 'Dimension 20' is your next show to watch.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Critical Role is, at the very least, partially responsible for the Dungeons & Dragons renaissance that’s occurred over the past decade. In that time, it’s once again become a mainstay of geek culture and the passion for the game has driven many to create similar actual-play campaigns. In 2022, there are hundreds if not thousands of campaigns out there as videos or podcasts.
RELATED: 'The Legend of Vox Machina' Cast on Turning 'Critical Role's D&D Livestream Into an Animated Fantasy Epic While Critical Role is incomparable in its scope and scale, creating sprawling multi-year long campaigns in an intensely detailed fantasy world. Dimension 20 sets out to do something a little different with Dungeons & Dragons but does it just as spectacularly. Where Critical Role is the vast fantasy epic that would fill a hefty series of novels, Dimension 20 focuses on telling intricate shorter stories.
The first season follows The Bad Kids as they search for missing students being used in an ancient ritual, track down a cursed dragon hoard, and try their best to find dates for prom. If John Hughes made a Dungeons & Dragons campaign this would be it. The entire cast is delightful, and the high school setting offers a unique spin on classic tropes from both D&D and teen comedies.
Of course, no Dungeons & Dragons experience would be complete without a foray into high fantasy. A Crown of Candy is just that. Following the exploits of the Rocks family of Candia as their entire continent falls into an all-out war between the different nations, A Crown of Candy is a true fantasy epic. With one caveat, all the characters are made of food. Each kingdom is a different food group and our heroes, as the title suggests, are people from a land of candy.
And if the Game of Thrones comparison raises any hackles, rest assured. The talent of Mulligan and his players keeps this story on track all the way to the finish line. The collaborative nature of a Dungeons & Dragons game allows for the kind of storytelling freedom that traditional media usually just cannot accommodate.
