What's Making Me Happy Today: Dimension 20 on a Bus

[delphi]

Last year, as an interstitial segment on Game Changer, the folks over at Dropout.tv filmed an improv skit called Dimension 20: On a Bus, where the concept was four professional GMs sitting down to play D&D with a GM who had a limited understanding of how the game was played.

It was a funny bit, but I don't think anyone expected the calls for more to actually result in anything. Until now, when for April Fool's Day, Dropout released a full one-hour episode of it. It's only up on their streaming service, but here's the teaser trailer that dropped without warning:

And man, the actual episode did not disappoint. It was a hilarious mess that hit just the right balance of winding up a bunch of professional storytellers, but also letting them do what they best as they tried to salvage things. I laughed to the point of tears, but I also legitimately picked up pointers about character-building and how to move a plot along (to get to LAX to fly out to an M&M wedding in Lisbon when everything keeps blowing up).

I'm watching it right now, it's so funny and hurts SO much. Watching Brennan try so hard not to say anything SO much of the time :D

I don't know what's funnier, Brennan's immediate exasperation or Matt trying so gamely to be a good sport. :D

I was too sleepy to watch the actual episode but SO EXCITED they actually filmed a full ep!!

I showed my wife the original pitch request from GC and the two trailers, so she knows as much as I do and wants to watch with me lol.

Sat lunch date I think!
