As a trans person, I don’t think I would’ve stuck with dimension 20 if ally hadn’t been a part of it. They’ve truly had such a huge impact on my life
Out of curiosity, who else just got casually called out on their non-binary Changeling Warlocks? I was so proud and thought they were unique... 😂

Probably my favorite moment from the show was Ally appearing as the role they were meant to play: improv instructor 😂
About the smash or pass, my table has a tradition where a new player goes through the monster manual and, on each page, has to pick one to get intimate with and one to fight.

that is BEAUTIFUL and i'm doing that next time we get a new player
I loved watching Ally’s growth throughout the seasons! They take the hero’s journey throughout all of dimension20.
Hey guys! Back in grade 10 in '83 (yes,I'm old) my friend invited me to play D&D. We sat there, OG-style with the DM behind the tri-fold manila folder & pencil & paper + 1st DM manual. It was nothing but take a few steps, dice challenge (without any non-book elaboration), repeat, ad nauseum. Once, a female character popped up, and I tried to flirt with her (because I was SO bored!) And everyone got frustrated, but (dice rolls) I scored.😜 But it was so boring that it wasn't until THAT ep of Community that I got interested in D&D again. Thank you so MUCH for getting it right! And much love and support to my fellow Non-Binaries! Happy Pride!🌈
“Oh, you’re into clowning?” Dead
I honestly can't imagine Fantasy High with no Ally.... I'm so glad they made it in
"Nerd friend who gets really hot in college & they know it". That's exactly what I am how DARE they?!
"It's not accurate." I almost believed them 😂
Ally is giving convict realness
There is nobody like Ally in entertainment, gaming or otherwise. So grateful for their presence.🤓
Ally is the hero i never knew i needed as a kid.
Dimension 20 got me into DnD - now I'm DMing and preparing for my first full campaign as a PC. My goal is always to have the same kind of environment where different people come together to create a shared atmosphere that they can capture.
It’s ok ally, I too started as a cleric. fully never healed anyone though 💀
Ally is so funny 😂
You're all killing it with the content. Can't wait to check out the podcast! 💕
I wasn't aware Ally was new to DnD when dimension 20 started. Love their chaos dice rolls
You really nailed the sign off. 😂
Oh, glad I caught the heads up on that podcast! I might be very interested in that.
This short videos are so fun to watch!!! Now I have to check out that new podcast, for sure. Also, I really love the fact they made that last-minute-addition to D20, things would totally not be the same without Ally!!! 😁
Yay! More content!
I'm so glad this channel is staying alive post-season. I'm living for Jewell & Zach's vibe together lol
Yes!!! See you next Week! ❤🎉
Crazy to rewatch all the past seasons of D20 and see how far Ally has come as a DND player, don't get me wrong Kristen in fantasy high is endlessly funny but the way they played Liam in crown of candy, Margret in starstruck, and Tim goose in neverafter gives me so much inspiration for character creation and how to role-play in my home games. I had just started playing DND around the time I got into D20 and knowing how new Ally was to the game and seeing how they've been able to play such badass and funny characters pushes me to be a better PC. They are truly one of the funniest people and I'm so excited for future D20 seasons!
I miss tales from the closet! Cool to see a follow up :)
Love beardsley in D20. Now watching them make decisions in a fight can be painful, but it's a growing experience and they have brought so much to the table.
omg the first ep of gender spiral is out??? 🏃🏽

When comes to bards I feel like it depends on who plays them or the way the dm can explain what the role is that gives it its reputation for instants I played a bard that’s ace but used the charm to help convince or intimidate those they meant to help there party instead of just trying to be the star and played better supporting role.
I was also new to dnd so I didnt notice any mistakes in Fantasy High but I love to hear about them^^

I'm so glad Ally join! It's not only my favorite player and comedian in Drop out but It's also kind of my sex symbol now!!! We need more chaotic People like them We need more non-binary representation❤
Is there an Atlantis cut, I would love to watch the Atlantis cut
the aggression towards bards lmaooo! I personally also dislike the stereotypical bards, but the class itself is actually one of my favorites to play because its such a cool mix of arcane and weapon fighting if you play it well! All the Casanova fckboy energy is so unnecessary with bards and gives them a bad rap imo
Oops, I think the caption timestamps might be a bit borked. Thanks for providing them, though :P
Ally out here having put the alter in "little altar boy"
what is the movie with grant and adam that ally mentioned?
wait, this was so short
The Atlantis tangent, tho...

bards rule as a pure character or for multiclassing. a sorceror or warlock with one level of bard for charisma based healing... *chefs kiss*
