Video I made with some friends
« on: June 04, 2009, 02:43:01 am »

This is a video recording (chopped to fit on youtube) of a D&D game that some friends and I made. Please watch at least a little bit, and leave comments/criticisms/suggestions here or on youtube. Even if you think it's complete shit, leave some feedback so that we can improve.

Even though I know nothing about D&D.

Even though there is no camera work of any kind.

Even though the quality sucks.

Even though nothing is apparently planned.

Even though nothing is explained for the audience in any way.

I still enjoy watching a group of people having genuine fun with their friends. It's kinda nice and uplifting.

Hello.
(I'm in the video as well, I'm the one in the Ford shirt.)

Thank you so much. Honestly and Truly. That just made my day.

I'm aware of all the problems that you mentioned, and I'm doing my best to try to fix them, and make the videos more enjoyable for everyone.

There's more videos on the way, I have one in the tin and were shooting another one in less than an hour as well.

btw, thanks anyar for posting it here, thanks to everyone who helped make the videos, and thanks to everyone who watches them.

Uh... no, I'm not going to talk like that. By the way, DnD; I did not know anyone played it using a board anymore.

The only difference between D&D nerds and normal nerds is that D&D nerds have friends and they socially interact and have fun with said friends.

Pretend you're doing something more interesting than doing math at the whims of dice.

It just occurred to me, it's a lot like Poker.
You sit around a table with friends, tell stories, laugh at jokes nobody else would find funny, and the guy in control of the table is usually doing a lot of math. Except instead of losing 20 bucks you get eaten by a Dragon.

Clearly I've played both.

DnD is very fun, id suggest playing it to anyone i met (i do, along with DF)

at least, untill it got significantly dumbed down and broken in 4.

still, think of it like adventure mode, but with COMPLETE freedom. (depends on the DM)



its fun to screw over the DM by bypassing his plans, say he had an adimantium door, locked, barred and magically protected, cast stone-to-flesh on the adjacent wall and a winnar is you.

Hmm, or when theres a rock golem charging at you. Run, don't fight like the DM wants you to, just RUN.

DnD's good. I liked 4 ed cause its basically a fuckload simpler to use and understand while still be complex enough to have fun with. 3.5 was good, cause i was brought up (RPG'ing wise) on it but i like 4th ed more.

Also theres so many good RPG's out there other than DnD: Paranoia, Shadowrun, even ones that don't use dice, such as (i forget the name, but basically a western) that uses Poker hands as a playing system. I loved that game.

I like to slip into bear caves around midnight and gently caress the carnivore inside before leaving a small cut of fresh fish and sneaking out.

You can elicit some good responses through elimination of a specific race, including players of that race.

i think he meant the Elveses.

i DO play as the grey elves in my games, but only because i can squeeze 19 int out of them at generation.

that being said, i also take a level in badass barbarian at level two so i can fly into a NERD RAGE!!! every so often too.
