Dimension 20 game master Aabria Iyengar discusses Dropout's 20th DND campaign season, leveling up the dome, and the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
The Big Picture Dropout's wildly successful Dungeons and Dragons TTRPG series, Dimension 20 is heading into its 20th season on the streamer. Formerly College Humor, the company recently celebrated Dropout's fifth anniversary, and with the occasion changed the entire brand to Dropout.
IYENGAR: 100%. I think the heart of this story will always be the family.
I love that! When creating a story that's somewhat inspired by an existing IP that you've loved or IP that you kind of want to fix a little, what do you look for from those sources, and then how do you make sure that you make them completely your own? When you're creating a new campaign, how do you choose what DND system you use, and what makes 5E a good fit for Burrow’s End?
IYENGAR: My favorite thing in the preproduction for Dimension 20 is sort of sitting and looking at the last things that any other GMs, and specifically Brennan and the art team and Rick [Perry], have put forth in a season and going “Oh, that's fun. Alright, how can I push that a little farther?” It's the most delightful arms race of “Oh, you gave Brennan what? Interesting.
So I think it is very funny, but in the trailer and in Episode 1, everything looks very chill, but if you look at the publicity stills and the group shots that were sort of released in the media, I do look very different. That is absolutely intentional in telling the story of the world and the world that they will eventually reach and find and build. So yeah, it was very fun. By the end, we were just in this full Bauhaus, anti-surveillance makeup beat, and it was just so cool and fun.
With Burrow’s End, do you have a favorite NPC that you are particularly excited for players and fans to meet this season that you can share? Even in the inverse of that, with Burrow’s End, they are a family. This is three generations of a family; they're all the same thing, they're all stoats.
Then of course, we've got Brennan coming in and running the craziest, dopest game where we have just piles of people representing different classes and being able to tie everything down to the base story we tell in DND, in this high fantasy setting. A group of people coming into their power, knowing what the stakes of the world are, and being the heroes the world deserves felt like such a nice parallel to “We're out here. It's been over 100 days. We know what needs to happen.
