It can be awkward to start playing D&D for the first time, the Dimension 20 can be a good starting point in learning how to play Dungeons & Dragons for those of you who appreciate comedy-focused shows. Dimension 20 episodes are not aired live, instead, they are edited and some effects and graphics are added for a more enjoyable viewing experience. The series has a set amount of episodes per season, so the campaigns are more railroaded compared to Critical Role campaigns. As expected from the D&D YouTube series in CollegeHumor production, Dimension 20 is more comedy-focused than Critical Role. If you watched CollegeHumor you will see some familiar faces in the Dimension 20 D&D series.


If you want to start watching a campaign from the moment the characters meet for the first time check out campaign 2 or campaign 3. Campaign 1 starts when all characters already know each other (they played that campaign before they started filming). The book is written by Matthew Mercer and will let you explore the world of the best DnD show.Ĭurrently, there are three campaigns on their Youtube channel. If you get hooked on their campaign, check out Dungeons & Dragons - Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, the sourcebook that details Wildemount (a continent where the Critical Role campaign is taking place). I recommend that you give Critical Role a try, even experienced players can get a better idea of how to DM Dungeons & Dragons from Matt Mercer. You can find the show on their Youtube channel or watch an ongoing campaign on Twitch every Sunday at 04:00 CET. This makes Critical Role sessions a delight to watch.

Critical Role DM Matthew Mercer and all the players are voice actors. Critical Role is the most popular and widely considered the best Dungeons & Dragons Youtube show.
