Hi! I made this post because of seeing the other post on asklemmy.

I exclusively have watched Dimension 20 (D20) because I started out listening to all of Not Another DND Podcast (NADDPod) and couldn't get enough. I don't really get the On A Bus variant except it is somebody DMing who is taking the piss out of Brennan and the other DMs? But who is the elf lady and how do they know her?

Also I heard that the latest Critical Roll has Brennan as the DM, is that approachable if you've never watched Critical Roll? I tried to get into it years ago but couldn't deal with the huge cast.

If you've never seen D20, this 6 minute overview is super entertaining and is also a great overview of the energy and talent Brennan brings to every episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zZzsB0VBsY

Is there a video like this to help people get into the rest of Dropout?

What do you watch, and why?

I think, like a lot of people, my first exposure to Dropout's stuff was on youtube. There's a lot of stuff you can watch for free before paying for it, and Sam makes a point of keeping everything affordable and customer-friendly.

For Game Changer, watch the first Sam Says episode to get a sense for the tone.

For Make Some Noise, you can just check out their clip channel and look at... Any of them. There's no continuity to worry about.

For Um Actually, there's an episode about D&D that, as a D20 fan, you should be able to play along with.
