* TranslationConvention: The players all speak English, but it's assumed that the stoat characters they're playing are speaking "Stoat" and that they can't communicate with badgers or other animals because they (the stoats) don't speak "Badger," etc. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed that the reason they can't communicate with other animals is becuse the stoats really ''are'' speaking "Human," though Aabria never makes it clear exactly what the geographic setting of the story is, so this trope might still be in effect if the characters are speaking, say, [[{{UsefulNotes/Chernobyl}} Russian]] and not English.]]

* TimeSkip: ''Sophomore Year'' ended with the Bad Kids preparing the pursue the Night Yorb before it can destroy the world of Spyre. Essentially the first episode of ''Junior Year'' is set up as though it were the finale to an unseen (and unproduced) Night Yorb season of ''Dimension 20''.

In addition to the main adventures ''Dimension 20'' also produces shorter seasons called ''Side Quests'', featuring a different cast made up of comedians, actors and other prominent tabletop adventure players (Including Creator/MatthewMercer, Aabria Iyengar, Creator/ErikaIshii, and B. David Walters among others), sometimes GM'd by Brennan, sometimes by a guest GM.[[note]]Aabria Iyengar holds the record for most seasons as a guest GM at three[[/note]]

A tabletop adventure anthology show on the comedy streaming site, [[Website/CollegeHumor ''Dropout'']]. ''[[https://www.dropout.tv/dimension-20 Dimension 20]]'' is hosted by [[Creator/BrennanLeeMulligan Brennan Lee Mulligan]] and the cast is mostly made up of past and present Website/CollegeHumor cast members. Besides starring mostly people with comedy and improv backgrounds, ''Dimension 20'' also decidedly focuses on shorter adventures than most tabletop actual-play. Their "seasons" always keep it under 20 episodes and usually feature a new setting or characters.

The first season, "Fantasy High," quickly proved to be a fan favorite, and before it even finished airing, two follow-ups were greenlit: another season with the original cast in a new setting, and a 6-episode "side quest" with a whole new cast. Pumping out whole new stories at rapid speed, their popularity only grew. ''Dimension 20'' has now expanded to become arguably Dropout's biggest draw, with multiple series starring the original cast (affectionately called the "Intrepid Heroes") across five (so far) unique settings, plus a variety of spin-offs and totally different adventures.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Being stoats, the characters show no qualms about finding another animals burrow and driving them out and/or killing and eating them to make into a new home for themselves. The Red Warren they used to call their home originally belonged to a family of rabbits that were hunted down when Ava was a child.
