The best D&D actual-play series goes back to school for Fantasy High: Junior Year

It's tough enough recapping your last game of Dungeons & Dragons—reminding the players where they are and what they're doing in this castle anyway—when it's only been a week since your last game. Actual-play series Dimension 20 is returning to its Fantasy High campaign for the first time since 2020.

Fantasy High is set in a typical Tolkienesque high fantasy world with elven forests and pirate islands, except for one corner of the map that's inexplicably more like 20th century America. People there drive cars (powered by elementals), carry mobile phones (technically crystals), and send their kids to high school (where there are classes for barbarians and bards). It's the creation of Brennan Lee Mulligan, the Dungeon Master who began Dimension 20 for what was then CollegeHumor—though as with every roleplaying game it's a work of collaboration. His collaborators on Fantasy High are a group of players whose characters all met at school detention just like in The Breakfast Club.
