fuck it every dimension 20 season ranked

1. a starstruck odyssey

... we all saw this coming. i don't even have anything to say that i haven't already sleep deprivedly rambled about to my friends. glittery space bitches go brrrrrr

2. the ravening war

AUOERGHHHHH the drama the violence the edge the politics the tragedy THE SHIPS!!!! truly just my favorite people (and matthew mercer i guess) playing my favorite character tropes. it's like they scanned my brain and generated a season based solely on what i would be the most autistic about.

3. misfits and magic

yippeeeee best friends and they like each other and are friends yayyyy

4. the seven

women <333 (but fr tho i just like watching teenage girls be messy and multifaceted)

5. a court of fey and flowers

look i just really like fae shit. fairy rainbow magic boys RISE UP 💪💪💪💪

6. a crown of candy

the little candy people are sad??? what the hell.... (no but this season started off SO STRONG!! would easily be my #1, but i feel like the latter half of the season dragged on and also felt rushed? idk still one of the top tier seasons)

7. fantasy high

i mean what can i say. a solid classic, bad kids live in my head RENT free, fig is my irl girlfriend, uhhhhh kissing them all forever.

8. mice and murder

love a good murder mystery <33. lars vandenchomp my BELOVED!!!

9. fantasy high sophomore year

sophomore year!!!! i feel like this season had some of the highest highs, but also a lot of the lowest lows. which is why it's in the middle of the list lol. the live format made it hard to follow a lot of the time, however, consider, i'm the crab king.

10. the unsleeping city: season 2

CODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! between him, iga, and the spooky capitalism moment, i really liked this season. i just,,, haven't really thought about it much. did not stay in my head.

11. neverafter

love the characters, love the vibe, less spooky than i had hoped? but still, as always, a slay

12. the unsleeping city

you may be saying "why is s1 lower than s2" CODY! it's literally just him i just really like cody.

14. coffin run

VAMPIRES!!! AND IZZY AT THE TABLE!!! v good season, a little bit loud for me? but otherwise good job guys 11111/10

13. mentopolis

not much to say abt this season tbh

15. escape from the bloodkeep

i have never read [insert fantasy book here] so i didn't really get a lot of the inside jokes? idk i think i was not the target audience.

16. pirates of levithan

look the zoom format just absolutely kills this season :( i love literally everything else about it but all of the players are so BIG in a way that the format struggles to capture. honestly it was a hard watch for me but i'd love to see it revisited in the dome.

17. shriek week

look i'm all for a vibes only no plot session but a vibes only no plot season? i truly could not tell you a single thing that happened in this show. also not enough hot monsters and too many hot people who are vaguely monster adjacent. absolutely HILARIOUS tho, watch it for sure but just turn your brain off. ally fermentation jokes my beloved.

18. dungeons and drag queens

i'm homophobic ❤ (this is a joke i'm gay i just didn't find it very compelling bdjfk. i don't think i was the target audience)

19. tiny heist

i'm sorry the mcelroy brothers just don't do it for me. certainly one of the dimension 20 seasons 👍

#CAN #U #TELL #IM #AUTISTIC #BCUS #I #CANN #anyways haha hiii #reminder that this is the opinion of a funky lil guy and should not be taken as fact #AND and this is not a recommendation of what u should watch first!!!!#anyways kiss kiss #d20 #erp

Fact 8

This is the description for The Adventure Zone that is still present on the Max Fun site:

Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy from My Brother, My Brother and Me have recruited their dad Clint for a campaign of high adventure. Join the McElroys as they find their fortune and slay an unconscionable number of ... you know, kobolds or whatever in ... The Adventure Zone.

Currently, as of the posting of this fact post, there has yet to be a single interaction, let alone death of a kobold by any member of the McElroys’ characters, let alone any character present in any canonical The Adventure Zone products.

Therefore, no kobolds where harmed in the making of this podcast.

Thank you for coming to my TAZ Talk.

Top New Fantasy Books July 2020

The Book of Dragons: An Anthology by Jonathan Strahan

Type: Anthology Publisher: Harper Voyager Release date: July 7

Den of Geek says: I’m always looking for a good book about dragons, and this incredible list of authors promises adventurous and unique stories. Anne Leckie, Zen Cho, Seanan Maguire, J.Y. Yang, Patricia A McKillip, Brooke Bolander … it’s an astounding, literary-flavored list of people qualified to write cool creatures.

Publisher’s summary: Here there be dragons . . .

From China to Europe, Africa to North America, dragons have long captured our imagination in myth and legend. Whether they are rampaging beasts awaiting a brave hero to slay or benevolent sages who have much to teach humanity, dragons are intrinsically connected to stories of creation, adventure, and struggle beloved for generations.

Bringing together nearly thirty stories and poems from some of the greatest science fiction and fantasy writers working today— Garth Nix, Scott Lynch, R.F. Kuang, Ann Leckie & Rachel Swirsky, Daniel Abraham, Peter S. Beagle, Beth Cato, Zen Cho, C. S. E Cooney, Aliette de Bodard, Amal El-Mohtar, Kate Elliott, Theodora Goss, Ellen Klages, Ken Liu, Seanan Maguire, Patricia A McKillip, K. J. Parker, Kelly Robson, Michael Swanwick, Jo Walton, Elle Katharine White, Jane Yolen, Kelly Barnhill, Brooke Bolander, Sarah Gailey, and J. Y. Yang—and illustrated by award-nominated artist Rovina Cai with black-and-white line drawings specific to each entry throughout, this extraordinary collection vividly breathes fire and life into one of our most captivating and feared magical creatures as never before and is sure to become a treasured keepsake for fans of fantasy, science fiction, and fairy tales.

Buy The Book of Dragons by Jonathan Strahan on Amazon

Or What You Will by Joe Walton

Type: Novel Publisher: Tor Books Release date: July 7

Den of Geek says: Jo Walton is a writer’s writer, highly praised but still generally skating under the radar. I found her 2014 My Real Children to not nearly live up to its very high concept, but she’s one of those authors with technical prowess who is at least worth checking out for context for women’s science fiction. The metafiction plot sounds fun.

Publisher’s summary: He has been too many things to count. He has been a dragon with a boy on his back. He has been a scholar, a warrior, a lover, and a thief. He has been dream and dreamer. He has been a god.

But “he” is in fact nothing more than a spark of idea, a character in the mind of Sylvia Harrison, 73, award-winning author of thirty novels over forty years. He has played a part in most of those novels, and in the recesses of her mind, Sylvia has conversed with him for years.

But Sylvia won’t live forever, any more than any human does. And he’s trapped inside her cave of bone, her hollow of skull. When she dies, so will he.

Now Sylvia is starting a new novel, a fantasy for adult readers, set in Thalia, the Florence-resembling imaginary city that was the setting for a successful YA trilogy she published decades before. Of course he’s got a part in it. But he also has a notion. He thinks he knows how he and Sylvia can step off the wheel of mortality altogether. All he has to do is convince her.

Buy Or What You Will by Jo Walton on Amazon

The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal

Type: Graphic Novel Publisher: First Second Release date: July 14

Den of Geek says: The Adventure Zone is a wildly popular humorous fantasy podcast. It’s part of the big 2010s wave of Dungeons & Dragons coming back into the geek space. Especially for someone who might not want to listen to hundreds of episodes of a podcast, the illustrated version does a good job of smoothing out the story into a graphic novel format without removing the goofy chaos of the original podcast.

Publisher’s summary: START YOUR ENGINES, friends, Clint McElroy and sons Griffin, Justin, and Travis hit the road again with Taako, Magnus and Merle, the beloved agents of chaos from the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novels illustrated by Carey Pietsch, The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins and The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited.

Our boys have gone full-time at the Bureau of Balance, and their next assignment is a real thorny one: apprehending The Raven, a master thief who’s tapped into the power of a Grand Relic to ransack the city of Goldcliff. Local life-saver Lieutenant Hurley pulls them out of the woods, only to throw them headlong into the world of battle wagon racing, Goldcliff’s favorite high-stakes low-legality sport and The Raven’s chosen battlefield. Will the boys and Hurley be able to reclaim the Relic and pull The Raven back from the brink, or will they get lost in the weeds?

Based on the beloved blockbuster podcast where three brothers and their dad play a tabletop RPG in real time, The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal has it all: blossoming new friendships, pining for outlaw lovers, and a rollicking race you can root for!

Top 10 Podcast Recs

(Aka My friends are tired are hearing me cry about my audio children so I’ll just rave to y’all)

1. The Penumbra Podcast: The Penumbra is either the best hotel or railroad this side of nowhere, depending on who you ask. Either way the Penumbra is full of stories. From noirs to westerns to high fantasies I promise you this podcast will have something you will love. There are currently 2 running story lines, along with a number of one shot episodes. The first story follows a private eye named Juno Steel, who lives in Hyperion City on Mars sometime in the future. We follow the snarky P.I. as he uncovers some of Mars’ biggest conspiracies, including a prophesied utopia, an ancient martian tomb and how a certain master thief can be so damn adorable. The second story line, called The Second Citadel is a fantasy set in a world where humanity has had to build back up its society after deadly clashes with monsters. The story follows various knights of the crown, tasked with seeking out and slaying said monsters, who slowly find that the world of monsters might not be as cruel as they were always told it would be. This podcast is A+++++ for lgbtqia content and I absolutely adore it. The Penumbra was one of my first podcasts and it remains to be my absolute favorite.

2. King Falls AM: King Falls seems to be a small, quaint, forest town, but under this facade is a town full of the paranormal. We tune in to the Sammy and Ben Show, an AM radio show in King falls that follows its residents and their dealings with the strange and spooky phenomena of the town. I can’t say much else without spoiling the plot but I cannot recommend this podcast enough. All the characters are lovable unless your name is Gregg Frickard and though the plot progresses a bit slowly in the beginning the build up is so worth your time. Again full marks for lgbtqia content (but I feel like with most podcasts that’s a given)

3. Wolf 359: This podcast follows the journey of the crew of the USS Hephaestus orbiting around the star Wolf 359. The episodes center around the logs of the communications officer Doug Eiffel as he discovers radio frequencies bouncing around deep space broadcasting classical music recordings. I feel like this podcast is popular enough it doesn’t even need recommending anymore, but on the off chance you haven’t listened to it yet I promise you it lives up to all its hype. This podcast somehow remains hilarious while making its entire audience sob.

4. The Bright Sessions: The Bright Sessions follows Dr. Bright, a therapist for the strange and unusual. Including a mind reader, a time traveler, and an empath. A great take on the super powered genre, instead of our characters working together to save the world, we watch them instead struggling with the mundane struggles of everyday life. This podcast is so wholesome and a great take on mental health issues and of course lgbt characters. Like Wolf 359 I feel like everyone and their dog has already listened to tbs but this is a great place to start with if you are new to podcasts.

5. The Adventure Zone: is a podcast about 3 comedian brothers and their father playing table top games together. The McElroys are hilarious and cultural icons but still deliver powerful, meaningful stories. The have currently run 5 campaigns, consisting of a high fantasy, a superhero story, a monster of the week show, a western, and a mystery. The first, and longest campaign is a D&D game called Balance and follows three adventurers named Taako, Merle, and Magnus as they embark on a journey that turns out to bigger than their world itself. Again can’t tell you much due to spoilers but I would 10/10 recommend this podcast, even to those unfamiliar with table top games.

6. ars PARADOXICA: Sally Grissom is a physicist living in the modern world, that is until she finds that she has accidentally created time travel and is now trapped in the 40s during the height of World War Two. Sally is quickly recruited into a Manhattan Project-eque secret government project where she must make sure that both she and the U.S government doesn’t misuse time travel or let it fall into the wrong hands. Shenanigans ensue. This podcast has all the best parts of Doctor Who mixed with a whole bunch of political intrigue.

7. Alice Isn’t Dead: A Nightvale Presents podcast following a woman who spontaneously takes a job driving commercial trucks cross country when she learns that her wife, Alice, is in fact not dead, and instead roaming the country. However the woman soon finds herself entangled in the same conspiracy that took Alice away from her. This podcast is creepy, and somehow really aesthetic. The final season has just started airing so now is a perfect time to catch up before the finale

8. Within The Wires: Another Nightvale Presents podcast, this one chronicles the stories of an alternate universe from our own. Where society has gone through a remodel, and concepts such as family have been entirely thrown out. The first seasons take the form of relaxation audio tapes from some sort of institute, and the second comes in the form of a museum audio tour, or at least that’s what they appear to be at first glance.

9. The Behemoth: This podcast follows a young girl, who finds herself disenchanted with everyday life. So when a monster seemingly appears out of the ocean and begins his walk cross country she seizes her opportunity and joins him on his trek, catching the attention of just about everyone. The story of the girl and her monster walking across the U.S. gains an international following and is so wholesome to listen to. It’s sequel, called Izzy, chronicles the aftermath and the fate of the behemoth named Max. This podcast is so underrated and I honest to god don’t understand why its sooooooo good.

10. The Orbiting Human Circus (Of The Air): and to finish it out, surprise, surprise another Nightvale Presents Podcast! The Orbiting Human Circus is a TV show taped at the very top of the Eiffel Tower. We follow the tower’s janitor, Julian, as he tries desperately to get closer to the production of the circus he loves, even if it means causing a few accidents. This podcast is so soft and aesthetic and is a nice, now suspenseful listen.

So I’m gonna be a d&d DM for the first time

My little brother is 10 and he’s super into fantasy stuff so I created a simple campaign for him and three friends to play. It’s not very complex, but I’m proud of it. The premise of the campaign is as follows:

The four adventurers arrive in a town and the mayor rushes out in a panic to greet them. He explains to them that his town has a curse put on it from an evil wizard. Once a day, every day, something at random turns into jelly. It could be a pastry from the bakery, it could be a tree in the park, it could be one of the stable’s horses, it could be the mayor’s wife. He begs them to find the wizard and slay him so the curse is lifted.

It’s a bit childish, but for a bunch of 8-10 year olds, I think it’s great. I’m also totally stealing like 17 ideas from Griffin McElroy and The Adventure Zone.

CF30 Day 1 - Inputs (Part 1)

The second part of getting started on CF30 today is logging my existing Inputs and media habits. We’re getting up close and personal.

Does anyone remember MySpace’s Bulletin Board Surveys? This part kind of reminds me of these -- definitely mean it as a compliment, because those were fun.

Interests What do you like to do in your free time? - I really like making: gardening, crafting, baking, cooking, drawing, writing. - Under not-covid, I like rock climbing and going to the gym. Yoga too. Anything that gets me in my body and out of my brain. - Don’t get me wrong, I still watch plenty of YouTube and play video games.

What kinds of shows do you gravitate to? - People being creative on TV with different methods of doing so. One example, reality TV competitions like The Great British Bake Off, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Project Runway, Queer Eye. - Exceptional dramas. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul....those come to mind. - YouTube blogger content of people being creative.

Job What do you spend your time doing? - Copywriting for clients at an ad firm. Co-workers, who are they? - They’re similar in race, socio-economic status and background (as far as I know) for the most part.

Travel Patterns Exposure to new places, whether near or far. - Right now, no one is doing much traveling. I loved (when things were different) going to small towns and exploring their downtown. I’ve not traveled much out of a handful of states I’ve already gone to, nor much abroad besides the U.K. I’m solidly south and midwestern. States I’ve visited...

Content Consumption TV Channels/Websites - More like streaming channels, but I honestly watch YouTube the most. Funimation, Amazon Prime are a couple of others.

Podcasts - My Brother, My Brother and Me. Any McElroys podcast. Some Chapo Trap House, Last Podcast On the Left, Laser Time.... don’t listen to many podcasts right now, however.

Videogames - Right now, Persona 5 Royals, Of Guards and Thieves, Jackbox. Recently Persona 4 Golden, Slay the Spire, The Sims 4, Table Top Simulator. I enjoy multiplayer games, as well as 2D pixel art games, as well as turned base RPGs. Social Apps Are they people you know personally? A mix? - Yeah, I follow about 400 people on IG. I don’t have a social media presence I use actively on any other platform besides YouTube, but that’s a totally different beast. For the most part, I follow local businesses in OKC, my friends, acquaintances and a few celebrities.

What do they talk about? - I really just watch my friend’s IG stories at this point (because we’re all trying to stay sane during the outbreak.) I use the actual feed for news about local businesses. My friends send me memes, jokes or funny tweets but I don’t seek them out.

This is something I didn’t think of: how do these bubbles of social groups work? Like, aren’t my friend’s algorithms rubbing off on me? Will write more on that subject later.

Part two tomorrow.
