That’s the tagline for Gladlands, the latest season of Dropout.tv’s actual-play series Dimension 20 — and it isn’t just flavor text. From the moment the season opens, with its heroes racing through a sandstorm to deliver thank-you notes to donors who participated in a blood drive, Gladlands makes a bold, subversive argument: The apocalypse doesn’t have to be cruel, and survival doesn’t have to be violent.


This sounds like a fascinating season! I love the idea of exploring survival through kindness—it’s a refreshing take on the apocalypse theme. Excited to see how the cast navigates these challenges!
great twist on the typical apocalypse narrative. It’ll be interesting to see how the cast navigates challenges while prioritizing empathy over conflict. I’m curious about the character dynamics and how they’ll evolve throughout the season!
