Oooo, Dimension 20! I'm bad at actual plays, so it's taken me a while to get through them, but I've enjoyed what I've watched of A Starstruck Odyssey and A Court of Fey and Flowers, and I'm very excited for the upcoming new season and Emily Axford's take on spooky Red Riding Hood. I also really enjoy a lot of other Dropout content.

I haven't had a chance to start the latest season of Game Changer, but it's such a joyful show. I like some other Dropout shows too.

I can only do actual plays on video, and usually on 1.75x speed, so D20, while my gateway drug (Fantasy High S1 is on youtube), is a struggle sometimes because dropout doesn’t let me change the playback speed, haha.

Which shows do you like? I watch Um Actually kinda religiously, ngl, but Dirty Laundry didn’t quite match my expectations. Paranoia was awesome, but I’m not watching that again, lmao.

edit: also I added you! and also I am also very excited about Emily’s Red but ngl I am SUPER excited about Siobhan’s Aurora — I haven’t super loved a Siobhan character since Adaine in Fantasy High, but Adaine is my favorite DND actual play character of all time, soooo.

Oh, I relate to that. I do like how well-subtitled Dropout stuff is, it makes life so much easier for me. I think my gateway drug to Dimension 20 was Escape from the Bloodkeep, although I never got around to finishing it - I'm half-into Critical Role (ie. I want to be into it but there's just So Much), and they made the sensible SEO decision of having Matt Mercer in the thumbnail for the first episode, IIRC. But I did watch all of Misfits and Magic! That one was fun!

(I'm seeing an option to change playback speed on my Dropout, but maybe it's a browser/app-specific thing. 😔)

I haven't watched much of Um, Actually; I have a terrible tendency to only watch episodes when someone I know is in them. Dirty Laundry also didn't quite click with me, but I still had fun - I feel like "people lie about ridiculous anecdotes from their lives" is a format that's hard to go too wrong with, and I liked Grant's drinks interludes.

Paranoia isn't one I'd heard of before! It sounds fun from the description, although I think it's 50/50 on whether I'd end up with second hand embarrassment from it. I'll definitely give it a go.

I'm pretty basic, to be honest. I really enjoy Game Changer and I liked Make Some Noise too. I've also had a lot of fun with some of the episodes of Breaking News, there are some of those that get me in hysterics every time.

My excitement for Emily's Red is one part excitement for Emily and one part a life-long enjoyment of creepy takes on Red Riding Hood. Siobhan's Aurora is also very interesting to me. I also always enjoy Zac's characters, so I feel like his Puss in Boots is going to be fun. I'm curious about what the overall tone of the season is going to be - obviously they're leaning horror, but I wonder what the balance with comedy will be.

Loving this comment! Bloodkeep was so much fun for me despite my lack of interest in LOTR, I just thought it was so much fun, and the lava mog! and Leiland and Lilith! and Efink becom— oh shit spoiler! What a fun fun ride.

M&M was cute, loved Jammer but haven’t seen the special yet. Critical Role got me via Mighty Nein on 1.75x and it took a YEAR so…

Where do you do Dropout? I’ve got it on ipad.

I like Breaking News but I like the Grant episode best, not because I like second-hand embarrassment but because he seems like he has no shame? I don’t know, I just find it really interesting, and I was hoping Dirty Laundry would be the same vibe where I’d find all the secrets interesting but unfortunately most of them are meh.

I hope Zac’s cat is also good! I love Zac, Ricky was one of my favorites in TUC, and then like, Lou’s Kingston and Amethar and Murph’s Riz and Theobald and Kugrash have also been favorite but their choices are like, okay, let’s see what happens. I’m hopeful because I was excited about Gunnie and I was not into him at all (poverty hits too close) so maybe it will be the opposite this time, lmao.

Same re: lack of interest in LOTR! But the good thing about LOTR is that it's been riffed on so much that, even if Bloodkeep was specifically parodying it, it wasn't hard to pick up on the specific bits of parody.

Also haven't seen the M&M special, so you're in good company there. And you've still watched more Critical Role than me! I've watched some of all three seasons, but it's mostly an osmosis fandom for me. I did watch all of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, though, because it was exactly tailored to my interests.

Ah, I do Dropout on my laptop browser (Firefox, if that makes a difference). I wonder if it would work using a browser on the iPad or not.

Grant episodes of Breaking News are top-tier. He's one of my favourite people in the Dropout circle of people. Dirty Laundry is definitely much lower-key on the stakes of the secrets, and I think it loses a little bit because they clearly have a timescale to keep to, so Lily is often cutting off conversations.

Oh yeah, the poverty stuff in what I saw of A Starstruck Odyssey was rough, although it gained a dark comedy when juxtaposed with the amount of money Margaret was willing to throw around in those episodes. I was enjoying both iterations of Skip, but I think that might have been down to Zac's expressions and word economy.
