Dropout has released a trailer for Dimension 20: Never Stop Blowing Up. The new season of my favorite tabletop RPG series sounds like an incredibly fun one as it will be kind of like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle but with action movies.
The six characters are all pretty mundane people who get taken into a magical VHS tape where the action doesn’t seem to stop. Brennan Lee Mulligan returns as Game Master and the cast for this season includes Jacob Wysocki as Andy ‘Dang’ Litefoot/Greg Stocks, Ify Nwadiwe as Wendell Morris/Vic Ethanol, Ally Beardsley as Russell Feeld/Jennifer Drips, Alex Song-Xia as Liv Skyler/Kingskin, Isabella Roland as Paula Donvalson (neé Buocadifuoco)/Jack Manhattan, and Rekha Shankar as Usha Rao/G-13. This is an incredible cast and I believe this is Wysocki’s Dimension 20 debut!
In this season of the platform’s beloved actual play series, six down-on-their-luck strip-mall employees are sucked into a magic VHS tape, transforming into high-octane action heroes – and must figure out how to navigate the movie to get home.
For Never Stop Blowing Up, Dimension 20 will be utilizing a homebrew system also called Never Stop Blowing Up. This system is heavily inspired by Kids on Bikes from Hunter Entertainment. Honestly, I’m not that surprised. Based on the trailer, this type of story seemed like it would benefit from a non-5E system and they’ve used similar systems in the past such as on Mentopolis and Misfits & Magic.
Never Stop Blowing Up will premiere on Dropout on June 26 and run for 10 episodes. The official announcement doesn’t say anything, but if the pattern holds, new episodes will be released every other week with an Adventuring Party episode in the interim weeks.
I’m in the middle of listening to Fantasy High, but I may have to take a break for Never Stop Blowing Up. It just seems incredible.
