Dropout’s DIMENSION 20 Brings FANTASY HIGH to Webcomics on WEBTOON

As a devoted fan of Dungeons & Dragons, I can’t help but feel exhilarated! The heat surrounding actual play TV series for this tabletop role-playing game has never been higher. On one side, we have Critical Role, which continues to captivate fans with its enchanting world. On the other, there’s Dimension 20, a rapidly growing phenomenon from the comedy streaming platform Dropout. This unique blend of Dungeons & Dragons with side-splitting performances and genres ranging from sci-fi to ’80s teen classics has truly made a name for itself. In fact, it recently sold out a live show at Madison Square Garden!

Now, Dimension 20 is pushing the boundaries even further by bringing one of its most cherished campaigns to a new medium. Yes, the beloved Fantasy High campaign from Dimension 20 is about to transform into a webcomics series on the WEBTOON comics platform!

This press release offers additional details about the WEBTOON collaboration with Dropout, revealing that the “Fantasy High Dimension 20” webcomic will embody the humor, emotion, and charm that have made the webseries a cultural sensation, providing a visually engaging experience spanning over 61 episodes. For those less acquainted with “Fantasy High,” it’s worth noting that its Dungeon Master, Brennan Lee Mulligan, describes it as an exploration of the question, “What if John Hughes ran a tabletop RPG game?” Essentially, imagine the tender relationships and romance depicted in films like “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club,” combined with the drama of sword-fighting, magic, and other elements typically found in games of Dungeons & Dragons.

The forthcoming Dimension 20 webcomics series is also outlined as such: “In Fantasy High, we follow a band of outsider teens who grapple with the intense pressures of high school life and the dangers of a mystical realm. When students at their school start to vanish inexplicably, this unlikely group joins forces to expose a hidden conspiracy, embarking on an extraordinary journey that combines suspense, laughter, and poignant experiences.
