People talk a lot about the Animorphs body horror content being absolutely buck-wild in the text alongside the famous covers. But I mainly just remember the series ending with everyone throwing their traumatized selves back into a second doomed war, and presumably their deaths.

I really thought, from the previews, that Jacob dressing like Sam was going to be the premise of an entire episode

Not to mention the main kid commits genocide in the second-to-last book. It owns, Animorphs owns I’m very close to the end of my first ever full D20 campaign, A Starstruck Odyssey, and it’s been so good. I’m so happy I have so much of this to catch up on. I also have no idea how they’re going to finish the story of this season in the 1 hour 45 mins or so I have left of the finale. But I can’t wait to find out!!!! Not sure currently what I’ll do next, whether I’ll begin on the Fantasy High canon or do some of the side quests I like the idea of, like Mice and Murder and Never Stop Blowing Up. Please feel free to give your recommendations!

It owns, Animorphs owns I'd probably go with a side quest, but I don't think either of those are their best. Mice and Murder struggles with a cast that doesn't fully gel with the game, for obvious but unfortunate reasons, and Never Stop peaks really early and drags on. They've both got great moments though. Mentopolis is a very strong happy medium between both campaigns, though I'm a big fan of Dungeons and Drag Queens too.

Is there a playlist for the second season of fantasy high on the dropout YouTube? Searching for it on YouTube I see one on the dimension 20 YouTube but not in the main channel where I've got the subscription. Maybe I just need to swap to the actual app sooner than expected I guess

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhOoxQxz2yFOFL4eV6TXqtoMWBY1dPy8q&si=MCMofKN8id95C7nN Just look up Fantasy High Sophomore Year and that should find it for you. Tbh this is why I ended up subscribing through the App instead of YouTube, browsing episodes was just a hassle.

I could find the one on the Dimension20 channel with no issue, but it doesn't appear to exist on dropout where I subscribed lol I'll just have to swap it over to the app I suppose

Rewatching Gamechanger, I didn't catch on first watch that the therapist at the end is a KINK therapist, I saw that and just fully went "yeah okay that's what a therapist wears in LA".

Holy gently caress what an episode. Incredible from top to bottom. 3 of the funniest people on dropout at their absolute best. Well, 4 including Sam, who continues to rule. Time to listen to that Jacob Wysocki parody album

I do wanna try Mice and Murder to see how someone like Grant deals with a tabletop RPG, but I get how it could potentially end up being more frustrating than amusing.

i do think pretty much* every season of d20 is very watchable and if you end up having choice paralysis I'd just start from season 1 and work through chronologically. you'd think something like d20 would have growing pains but it's incredibly well put together from the top and I still remember getting blown away by the production *skip shriek week, it's fairly rear end and the dm gabe hicks was much more interested in badly setting up romances than having a coherent campaign. plus years after the fact it turned out he was a serial cheater and harassed a bunch of people so there's even less reason to try to push through watching it

It's got Ally Beardsley and Erika Ishii being chaos gremlins and Tallesin Jaffe being his best self.

I can also highly recommend last night's Um Actually. Just a fantastic melding of gameplay and contestant chemistry and competitiveness I also laughed multiple times whenever Izzy got very upset with Krystina vamping for minutes on end when buzzing in to try and talk out the answer, and knew Ify won't say poo poo cuz it's exactly what he used to do before he was the host

The concept of the token kick on Conrad every day after the kid put up his notice was hilarious. And the whole usage of Stacy Fakename by everybody, along with the Fix's facts as an intimidation technique. That series is gold.
