Fantasy High is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign and is the first installment of Dimension 20, a TTRPG anthology series. The campaign revolves around an adventuring party called The Bad Kids — Figueroth "Fig" Faeth, Gorgug Thistlespring, Adaine O'Shaughnessey, Fabian Aramaris Seacaster, Kristen Chilis Applebees, and Riz "The Ball" Gukgak — and their adventures at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. Fantasy High (and all D20 campaigns within the same universe) are DM'd by Brennan Lee Mulligan.
"It's John Hughes meets D&D — join DM Brennan Lee Mulligan as he guides a group of new students at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy through their tumultuous, heartwarming, and hilarious freshman year."
The first season (avaliable on dropout.tv and youtube) follows The Bad Kids — named so because they were all sent to detention on their first day of class — as they start their freshman year at the academy. After meeting one another, they eventually become close friends and work together to solve some recent disappearances in their town.
The second season (avaliable on dropout.tv and youtube) follows The Bad Kids (plus a few honourary members) as they go on a spring break trip / school assignment to find and return an artifact that was stolen from their school. The second season was livestreamed — unlike the first season, which was recorded ahead of time — and it gave the whole season an extremely chaotic energy.
The third season (avaliable on dropout.tv) has The Bad Kids dealing with their penultimate year of high school. I haven't finished FHJY yet so I'll write a proper synopsis when I do!
Fig is a member of the Bad Kids adventuring party and a former student of the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. She is the biological daughter of Sandra Lynn Faeth and Gorthalax the Insatiable, and the adopted daughter of Gilear Faeth. She is dating her paramour, Ayda Aguefort. She is the lead bassist in her band, Fig and the Cig Figs. She is played by Emily Axford.
Gorgug is a member of the Bad Kids adventuring party and a junior at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. He is the biological son of Gorbag and Roz, and the adoptive son of Digby Thistlespring and Wilma Thistlespring. He previously dated Zelda Donovan and is currently dating Mary Ann Skuttle. He is the drummer for Fig and the Cig Figs. He is played by Zac Oyama.
Adaine is a member of the Bad Kids adventuring party and a junior at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. She is the current Elven Oracle, describing herself as The People's Oracle. She is the biological daughter of Angwyn Abernant and Arianwen Abernant, and the adoptive daughter of Jawbone O'Shaughnessey — Adaine's canonical surname is Abernant, but I choose to believe she adopts Jawbone's surname, O'Shaughnessey. She is played by Siobhan Thompson.

Riz is a member of the Bad Kids adventuring party and a junior at Aguefort Adventuring Academy. He is the son of Sklonda Gukgak and Pok Gukgak. He is played by Brian "Murph" Murphy.
Fantasy High has some very messy family trees. I think it's incredibly fascinating, so I tried my hand at mapping them out! I can't guarantee that it's 100% accurate, but I did my best.
