Fantasy High title card.

Fantasy High is the first 5e Dungeons & Dragons campaign of Dimension 20. It follows six teenagers starting their adventuring career at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, who team up after ending up in detention together. The player characters are:

  • Fabian Aramaris Seacaster: Half-elf fighter/bard. Played by Lou Wilson.
  • Gorgug Thistlespring: Half-orc barbarian/artificer. Played by Zac Oyama.
  • Figueroth "Fig" Faeth: Tiefling bard/warlock. Played by Emily Axford.
  • Kristen Applebees: Life domain cleric who worships Helio and Sol before becoming a Twilight Cleric of Cassandra. Played by Ally Beardsley.
  • Riz "The Ball" Gukgak: Goblin rogue (Inquisitive) investigator. Played by Brian "Murph" Murphy.
  • Adaine Abernant: High elf divinatory wizard. Played by Siobhan Thompson.

There are two seasons: Freshman Year, where the PCs group up to solve the mystery of missing girls around Elmville; and Sophomore Year, where they are sent on a spring break assignment to retrieve the crown of the Nightmare King.

Tropes used in Fantasy High include:


  • Big Bad Evil Guy: Kalvaxus, who had been assuming the role of Vice-Principal Goldenhoard.
  • Disappeared Dad: Two main characters have this problem:
    • Fig, whose biological father turns out to be Gorthalax the Insatiable, a pit fiend who ruled over the Bottomless Pit.
    • Gorgug, who spends the entirety of Freshman Year assuming random NPCs might be his dad.
  • Doting Parent
  • X Meets Y: D&D meets The Breakfast Club.
