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?

That's Katie Marovich, who has been a writer for Dropout since it was CollegeHumor. She's easily one of the funniest people they employ.

Edit to add: one of Droput's MOs is to piss Brennan off. Sam Reich does everything in his little mischievous power to get a rise out of that poor, poor man.

Personally I don't like watching liveplay ttrpg shows, so my favorites to watch are Gamechanger and Make Some Noise. I also love Smartpants and Gastronauts, and occasionally we'll catch Um, Actually.
