Ayda: "The contract effectively states that I have information that might be actionable for you and of interest to you, and I will give it to you on the condition that you do not make any inferences based on that information, but rather, once you have that information you don't make any assumptions based on it, you don't, you know, basically you're not allowed, basically you're not allowed to think anything judgemental or critical once you get that information."

DIMENSION 20: FANTASY HIGH SOPHOMORE YEAR Episode 12: Crustaceans & Crushes

[thisisnotthenerd]

Hey there! Saw your FH statistics back in Ao3, particularly the level progressions, and found it very neat! I just wanted to ask since you've mentioned somewhere how campaigns that start at level 1 have a lot more deaths/downs compared to campaigns that don't (for obvious reasons), do you have a list of pc character deaths and/or downs? I believe that all the deaths were due to failed death saving throws, but were there any killed outright deaths? If not, that's completely alright.

And I do want you to know that your stats are very useful for a bunch of people!! A friend of mine and I write fanfic, and having these at an arms reach is super useful, so I just wanted to appreciate your hard work on it! Thank you for making our researching lives easier!

EDIT 1/20: sorry this took so long to answer; i got busy with the start of my semester and only just got to finish this round of stats.

thank you! i’m so glad they’re useful.

as for the deaths, i don’t have a current list, but you’ve inspired one, so here goes:

dimension 20 deaths

this one’s a doozy, so we’ll be splitting it up based on a few things: season, character, and death v. down. i’m not going precisely by episode because it’s easier to summarize like this, but heavier death episodes will be noted.

a down means the character goes unconscious through depletion of hp (not sleep or stun conditions). this doesn’t necessarily mean they have death saves, as sometimes they are brought up before they have to roll them. a death means three failed saves or more than double damage. not necessarily permadeath—the characters may be revivified or resurrected through other means. permanent deaths are counted separately, as they mean new character introductions.

i did this by reviewing the episode transcripts; if there are any inaccuracies, let me know. i'm just covering the core cast seasons for now, as doing the sidequests in the same post would make this incredibly long to read. plus, once those are done i'll have spreadsheet data for all of them.

core seasons

fantasy high: most of the deaths are concentrated into 3 episodes: clash of the corn cuties, the sisterly showdown, and prompocalypse. in all three cases, the fight was above the bad kids' weight class, and they also dealt with hazards that could have been avoided, i.e. jumping on tables, climbing the roof, flying over the battlefield, etc.

at this point, brennan was still rolling death saves for most of the enemies, so over the course of the season, the bad kids saw doreen, ragh, coach daybreak, and biz glitterdew die through death saves. the tiefling greasers all died on impact, so no death saves for them.

fig faeth: 2 downs, 0 deaths

gorgug thistlespring: 2 downs, 1 death (3 failed death saves)

adaine abernant: 3 downs, 0 deaths

fabian aramais seacaster: 1 down, 0 deaths

kristen applebees: 2 downs, 1 death (3 failed death saves)

riz gukgak: 2 downs, 0 deaths

total: 12 downs, 2 deaths

fantasy high sophomore year (including all fh oneshots): fewer downs/deaths this time, though they were still concentrated into a couple of episodes: the row and the ruction, the forest of the nightmare king, and spring break! i believe in you! (part 2). the bad kids dealt with some additional hazards in these fights, including fabian's deleveling, the mindflayer stun effect, the great unicorn, killian, kalina, and arianwen abernant.

if we count gilear, then the count is nearly doubled. gilear went unconscious 2 times, (3 if we count getting caught in the wheelwell of the van), and fully died 3 times (demons at the hotel cavalier, bill seacaster, armor of pride).

fig faeth: 0 downs, 0 deaths

gorgug thistlespring: 1 down, 0 deaths

adaine abernant: 0 downs, 1 death (oneshot by the unicorn)

fabian aramais seacaster: 1 down, 0 deaths

kristen applebees: 1 down, 1 death (oneshot by the unicorn)

riz gukgak: 2 downs, 1 death (knocked unconscious then killed by killian)

total: 5 downs, 3 deaths (8 downs, 6 deaths counting gilear)

fantasy high junior year: the down count comes back up, though there were no deaths at all this season. most of these came just from the ragenarok fight, as the melee fighters all got repetitively knocked out by porter and brought back up by the kristens.

fig faeth: 2 downs, 0 deaths

gorgug thistlespring: 5 downs, all within the last 3 episodes, 0 deaths

adaine abernant: 5 downs, 0 deaths

fabian aramais seacaster: 4 downs, 0 deaths

kristen applebees: 2 downs, 0 deaths

riz gukgak: 0 downs, 0 deaths

total: 18 downs, 0 deaths

fantasy high totals: 35 downs, 5 deaths (not including gilear. it's 38;8 with him).

fig faeth: 4 downs, 0 deaths

gorgug thistlespring: 8 downs, 1 death

adaine abernant: 8 downs, 1 death

fabian aramais seacaster: 6 downs, 0 deaths

kristen applebees: 5 downs, 2 deaths

riz gukgak: 4 downs, 1 death

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the unsleeping city: another finale concentration, with most of the deaths happening in the last couple of episodes. fewer downs than deaths this go around.

ricky matsui: 0 downs, 1 death (questing blade sacrifice)

sofia lee: 0 downs, 1 death (oneshot by american dream)

kingston brown: 1 down, 0 deaths

misty moore / rowan berry: 0 downs, 0 deaths, 0.5 permanent deaths by virtue of the reincarnation ritual (misty died, rowan born)

kugrash: 1 down, 1 permanent death (bagel of all things)

pete conlan: 0 downs, 1 death (power word kill from robert moses)

total: 1 downs, 3 deaths, 1.5 permanent deaths

the unsleeping city chapter ii: the downs/deaths were all either null or tony simos, with the exception of cody.

ricky matsui: 1 down, 0 deaths

sofia lee: 1 down, 0 deaths

kingston brown: 0 downs, 0 deaths

iga lisowski: 2 downs, 1 death (quasi-death; she did not technically die but was held in a place beyond the realm of the living in a state of near-death)

misty moore / rowan berry: 0 downs, 0 deaths

cody walsh: 3 downs, 0 deaths

pete conlan: 0 downs, 0 deaths

total: 7 downs, 1 death

the unsleeping city totals: 9 downs, 4 deaths, 1.5 permanent deaths. cody, despite only being in 1 of 2 tuc seasons, makes up for a third of the downs.

ricky matsui: 1 down, 1 death

sofia lee: 1 down, 1 death

kingston brown: 1 down, 0 deaths

misty moore / rowan berry: 0.5 permanent deaths (reincarnation ritual)

iga lisowski: 2 downs, 1 death

kugrash: 1 down, 1 permanent death

cody walsh: 3 downs, 0 deaths

pete conlan: 0 downs, 1 death

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a crown of candy: a crown of candy gets a lot of flack for being a deadlier season, but that is really concentrated to the first half, because the party just stops going down after a while. they have the most permanent deaths, but only by a small margin.

liam wilhelmina: 0 downs, 0 deaths

theobald gumbar: 0 downs, 0 deaths

jet rocks: 1 down, 1 permanent death

saccharina frostwhip: 0 downs, 0 deaths

ruby rocks: 1 down, 0 deaths

amethar rocks: 3 downs, 0 deaths

lapin cadbury: 1 down, 1 permanent death

cumulous rocks: 1 down, 0 deaths

total: 7 downs, 2 permanent deaths (3 if you count peppermint preston)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a starstruck odyssey: given the nature of this season, we did not see any deaths, but lots of the crew going down and back up. aurora nebbins goes in this count because she was an active combatant for a significant number of battles. this season breaks from the trend of beginning/finale concentrated downs, with the majority happening during the battle of the brands.

gunnie miggles-rashbax: 0 downs

riva: 2 downs

norman "skip" takamori: 2 downs

margaret encino: 2 downs

sundry sidney: 3 downs

aurora nebbins: 3 downs

big barry syx: 1 down

total: 13 downs, 0 deaths

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

neverafter: the extremely deadly season. tpk in the first battle, multiple moments of the party going down and coming up by the grace of goodberries. no permanent deaths, but many transformative deaths. the most downs/deaths for a single season. outnumbers the other single seasons combined.

rosamund du prix: 4 downs, 2 deaths

mother timothy goose: 2 downs, 1 death

pinocchio: 2 downs, 1 death

puss in boots: 3 downs, 1 death

gerard of greenleigh: 3 downs, 2 deaths

ylfa snorgelsson: 2 downs, 1 death

total: 16 downs, 8 deaths

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[boatemlag]

hi riz whags up i see you are dimension 20 posting. how much of it is there because ive thought about checking it out but got frightened

(Edit: 12/14/22 This is currently out of date.)

FRAP I'M SOOOOO GLAD YOU ASKED

so basically dimension 20 is absolutely a lot. it can seem really intimidating, but the truth of the matter is is that most of the seasons are completely independent of each other (barring fantasy high universe, the two seasons of the unsleeping city, and the two seasons of misfits and magic)

i will spell out what is and is not paywalled, and good golly there's a lot of content! keep in mind that the average episode is movie length, about 120 minutes long. so there's a lot of content there and it may take a long time to complete any of it if you're not insane like me. but, again, most seasons are completely independent of each other, so you can skip around! more under the cut

pink = NO MONEY REQUIRED, no paywall

Fantasy High (Universe)

fantasy high (season 1) is available in its entirety on youtube for free! (link here) it is also available on spotify uncensored. the premise of fantasy high is that this is a magical universe where fantasy creatures and magic are commonplace, and the main characters exist in the nation of solace, in a john hughes-esque town. each of the main characters is a freshman at auguefort adventuring academy, the place all prominent adventures learn how to kill, maim, and pillage their way to becoming heroes! our main characters stumble upon a major conspiracy, and hilarity and tearjerkers ensue. this was the first of all dimension 20 campaigns. (17 EPISODES, 2hr avg)

there are a number of interim live show/oneshot adventures within the universe and featuring the characters of fantasy high. this includes a live show with brian david gilbert and another show with griffin mcelroy. all currently paywalled. (2 EPISODES, 2hr avg)

fantasy high sophomore year (or fhsy or fantasy high live or season 2 if you're nasty) is only available free up to 3.5 episodes as far as i can find. (link here) this is an expansion on the first season, and it is all recorded live. absolutely fantastic, i haven't finished it yet but from what i've seen it's incredibly intense and a satisfying payoff on each character's arc. (20 EPISODES, range from 2.5-3hr with a 5hr finale)

pirates of leviathan is a paywalled sidequest that included superstars in actual play such as matt mercer, aabria iyengar, b. dave walters, and more! i haven't finished this season either, but it is an expansion on a location visited in fhsy! (6 EPISODES, 2hr avg)

the seven is the baby of the bunch, and it's paywalled beyond the first episode. this is MAJOR spoilers for the first season of fantasy high, do not watch without watching the first season! (link here to first ep) aabria iyengar and some other star players are in this as well, such as erika ishii and rekha shankar. no spoilers, i'll let you discover this one. (10 EPISODES, 2hr give or take)

within this series (with fhsy) we get the first of the talkbacks, which are episodes released discussing the events of the episode, and are present in most campaigns after fhsy. there is also behind the scenes content that i recommend, a look into rick perry's wonderful team that makes the sets come alive!

The Unsleeping City

the first season of the unsleeping city is also on spotify and the youtube channel! (link here) this is basically brennan's love story to new york city, and it's filled with whimsy and wonder and tragedy and hope. this is probably my favorite main season with the core cast. fabulous, cannot recommend enough. (17 EPISODES, 1.5-2hr avg)

the unsleeping city season 2 is an expansion on the first season and is, unfortunately, paywalled. but still so fantastic. (18 EPISODES, 2-2.5hr avg)

Misfits & Magic

paywalled, but separated because there are technically two seasons. one that is already complete (and i'm crazy about!) and one that will be released this holiday season. NOTE: this is the first adventure DMed by a game master other than brennan lee mulligan. aabria iyengar does a fabulous job of steering the ship and taking the helm of a satire actual play that just rips the shit out of a harry potter universe. i'm on the last episode of this and it's already made me cry. (4 EPISODES, 2hr avg, holiday special is 1 EPISODE, 3hrs)

Non-linear Seasons

a crown of candy is, and i CANNOT stress this enough, a fabulous piece of collaborative storytelling... that i have not gotten around to watching. it's like if you took game of thrones and candyland and smashed it into one large epic. the first episode is available (link here) but unfortunately is also paywalled. (17 EPISODES, 2hr avg)

escape from the bloodkeep is absolutely my favorite sidequest besides mismag, and it is free in its entirety on youtube! (link here) it is a parody of lord of the rings told from the side of the bad guys. (6 EPISODES, 2hr avg with 3hr finale)

tiny heist is paywalled, and it features the mcelroy brothers, their dad, and two college humor cast members (lily du and jess ross). this is less of your traditional 5e, as the focus (while still in traditional dimension 20 fashion) is more of a story based on tiny guys (toys, fairies, little dudes) stealing a roll of quarters from a big bad. it's very fun, even if i have my criticisms. a bit more mindless fun than the rest (6 EPISODES, 2hr avg)

mice and murder is more visual than the other side quests, since it is based around a murder mystery and secret messages! it includes many college humor cast members and though i haven't watched it, i've seen some high reviews. link to the first episode (here), the rest is paywalled (10 EPISODES, 2hr avg)

shriek week is one i'll confess i know very little about. it also includes a GM that is not brennan, and that GM is gabe hicks, who created their own system for the game! the first episode is available here (link here) for free! not sure much about it other than what's on the wiki overview, but i'm sure it's a howl (monster pun) (4 EPISODES, 2hr avg)

there is one new campaign to air very soon that doesn't require major knowledge of previous campaigns, but will contain the core cast once again! it's called a starstruck odyssey and will begin next week, paywalled afaik (TBA) EDIT: will not begin next week, but will instead air on dropout Jan 12, 2022 EDIT 2: a starstruck odyssey is based on the comic by the DM's mother, starstruck. it is a sci fi campaign using the sw5e system modified, and includes the main cast. the first episode is available free on youtube (link here)! (18 episodes, 2-2.5hr avg)

coffin run is a 5e season with a bunch of returning faces that is absolutely hilarious and now airing it's 6 episodes, avg 1.5 hrs each! unfortunately, for now it is paywalled. the first episode is available free on youtube! (link)

The Transcripts

the good people of the dimension 20 fandom have put together a pretty comprehensive free compilation of community made and edited transcripts. (link here to their beautiful work!) while this isn't just a sneaky paywall workaround (shhhh) it's also an invaluable tool as CC is sometimes... inaccurate! of course i suggest trying out a dropout subscription (not just for dimension 20!) but while dipping your toes in, this is a good alternative even if it doesn't compare to the performance of the players and the wonderful editing and sets! now that we're out of the water irt COVID a bit more, they're back in the dome and it's wonderful.

Parting thoughts

i just want to remind you that even though this is a LOT of content, you can jump around as much as you please and view what interests you. you absolutely do not need to watch these in order, save for the few that i mentioned.

there are also a majority free amount of "adventuring academy" videos which are basically Nerds Talking About DnD and tabletop and their loves and dislikes and philosophies and anecdotes about it

i will say, PoL can be a skip imo, as can m&m and tiny heist. but this is all up to personal taste and preference! good luck! enjoy and please feel free to ask more!

Ojisan to Marshmallow:

Genres: Slice of Life, Comedy, Romance, TV Short

Synopsis: Habahiro Hige is a simple-minded older man who works an office job and is an enthusiast of Tabekko Marshmallows. His days often consist of being teased by his 24-year-old colleague Iori Wakabayashi, who uses his obsession to her advantage: from eating them in front of his face, to buying out his favorite brand from the convenience store, and even embarrassing him in front of their boss. Although her friends cannot fathom what she sees in him, she just cannot get over his marshmallow-like, fluffy frame. No matter the lengths it takes, Iori will find a way to get his attention. Little does Habahiro know that she is trying to seduce him into a romantic relationship with her. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, right? At least this is what Iori would honestly like to believe. With a bag in hand, Iori continues to make him chase after her day after day, hoping that he will finally see through her attempts. Will he ever realize that their relationship can become s'more? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

A young farmer named Toshio picks her up at the station, and they quickly develop a friendship. During her stay, Taeko forms strong bonds with family and friends, learning the contrasts between urban and rural life, as well as the struggles and joys of farming.

My Rating: 9/10

Hana gives birth to two healthy children—Ame, born during rainfall, and Yuki, born during snowfall—both possessing the ability to turn into wolves, a trait inherited from their father. All too soon, however, the sudden death of her lover devastates Hana's life, leaving her to raise a peculiar family completely on her own. The stress of raising her wild-natured children in a densely populated city, all while keeping their identity a secret, culminates in a decision to move to the countryside, where she hopes Ame and Yuki can live a life free from the judgments of society. Wolf Children is the heartwarming story about the challenges of being a single mother in an unforgiving modern world. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Ore Monogatari!! (My Love Story):

Genres: Comedy, Romance, Shoujo

Synopsis: With his muscular build and tall stature, Takeo Gouda is not exactly your average high school freshman. However, behind his intimidating appearance hides a heart of gold, and he is considered a hero by the boys for his courage and chivalry. Unfortunately, these traits do not help much with his love life. As if his looks are not enough to scare the opposite sex away, Takeo's cool and handsome best friend and constant companion Makoto Sunakawa easily steals the hearts of the female students—including every girl Takeo has ever liked. When Takeo gallantly saves cute and angelic Rinko Yamato from being molested, he falls in love with her instantly, but suspects that she might be interested in Sunakawa. With his own love for Yamato continuing to bloom, Takeo unselfishly decides to act as her cupid, even as he yearns for his own love story. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 9.5/10

Finished airing in 2015 with a total of 24 episodes. 

My Thoughts: I freaking loved this anime!! The male lead wasn’t your typical pretty boy, all of the characters were wonderful in their own ways and the relationship between the two leads was painfully adorable. Big fan of this title!
