D&D Insider Presents: Red Box Ninjas

[Lordrex1st]

Why oh why can I relate to this so well? XD

[Suzaku455]

Kind of reminds me of party I had.

[stormclaw678]

Part 2. PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

[friartuck000]

Is Bitey Castle going to be making more of these for 5th edition?

[Bakazuraz]

As a DM I can feel his pain... I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RELATE TO HIM THIS MUCH!!!!

[Dragdamar]

Oh, and 4 munchkins who think this is how roleplaying actually works disliked the video.

[drifter01z]

@Dragdamar make that 6

[Dragdamar]

I played with this group at Origins 91!

[KaiAugustus]

FREAKING AMAZING.

[MaximusHawkwing]

Makes me think of my friends. The 3 of us decided to make a party of evil lv10 spellcasters using 3.5 & id also DM. To cut a long story short the result of our 1st session was that a very unlucky village was slaughtered & even though they'll argue that my character couldve done something to prevent it realisticly we were past the point of no return when the gnome started attacking the inn keeper & itd already been iffy when the necromancer murdered the local blacksmith over the price of a sickle

[Lukuz13]

Just...so much yes... I can't tell you how accurate this is to DnD with my friends :,| Not that I don't love it...but god damn it guys :,|

[JudgeCrown]

Hand extends, music starts, pause...and facepalm.

[blotsafun]

Adam Phillips (also known as Chluaid here on youtube) has to be one of the most talented animators in the community.

Even if you cut out his past works with disney. ;D

[DGtibbs]

Yay, Adam Phillips!

[rowenarrow]

One of the worse things my GM did was give use a grappling hook in one session. When it came time to fight a flying boss, guess what made old wingy hit the ground and get molly-whopped.

[XweetokFoxx]

Lol when I started playing with my friends, apparently in the previous game one of them punched the head guard in the face because he wanted to see his griffin egg, so the rest of us had to go track him down and bring him before the head guard for punishment. He ended up losing his egg anyway, so it wasn't even worth it to punch him.

[rowenarrow]

This is my Pathfinder group lol

[frodo807]

@rowenarrow Mine too, while gming for them I ended up banging my head on the table so much, Especially when I made the mistake of letting the half-orc barbarian have a permanent enlargement spell cast on himself. Or when a the parties cleric killed a child infront of her father in cold blood with some convoluted logic of how his religious beliefs made him do it.

[Arthusbuttkick]

This is what it's like trying to be the DM for my group. :P

[NotaNoCanus]

This is SOOO how my gaming sessions go. I swear they make a game out of it. Who can mess up the DM the most. I have to BS my way through so much that i never have a full set out story line (since they destroy it in minutes).

[cyphor09]

Hey...I'm an 11lvl rogue with a ring of red dragon control my alignment is chaotic good and I am an elf. I recently acquired a wish what do you guys think I should wish for? Also I am playing 3.5

[doombybbr]

@cyphor09 a lich-ification(become a lich so no-one can permanently kill you)

[nokshor]

@cyphor09 Godhood, Immortality or a weapon with an AoE larger than its maximum range.

[14Drixon]

A drow, a paladin, a barbarian and a Mage! I got it right?

[TrinityofTriforce]

@14Drixon

From left to right at 2:02: A Rogue, A Cleric, a Fighter, a Wizard.

[SuperGoliath89]

@14Drixon Drow isn't a class, it's a race.  And considering it's the Red Box, it's probably Thief, Warpriest, Knight, and Mage.

[StarlightTheAzure]

i want to play D&D D: now

[FloBotsInc]

this is what its like playing with my group somtimes :P 

[rstfanbot679]

hey did you notice that the king has diamond teeth?

[0Proxy]

lol funny stuff

[SuperGoliath89]

It's been my experience that at this point, rocks seem to magically manifest themselves out of thin air, causing gravity to pull them at great speeds, landing atop the adventurers and ending their lives.

tl;dr - Rocks fall. Everyone dies.

[f00tstep]

I would toaly play with those guys. Maybe it's just me but I think the fuck ups make the game more interesting.

[CommandoDude]

"So...Let's all pretend like those last 5 minutes didn't happen..."

[Jshaw71]

not too bad at all, these lil animations are nice, but you should seriously considering doing an animated series, like the one that aired in the 80's, but that's just me...

[partyboycris]

As a DM i can understand exactly how anoying that is. Very funny lol

[SirGentleshark]

Dear DM, I understand your pain... :c

And my players still wonder why I put insta-death-traps everywhere, THEY DESERVE IT, THE GAME ABUSING LITTLE FU-... *grumble mumble*

[gregoryvn3]

I swear I used to play with this group. And I'm still stuck with a couple of them. Oy.

[Lichman12]

Yeah....my players are like that. ><

[CliffRobotnik]

O-oh god..of dear holy fucking crap.... I pity that Dm, deeply.. i play D&D occasionally with a ASS who is JUST like these guys... and this fictional DM has to deal with basically FOUR OF HIM.

Darkwiz, if you see this... don't act like the above assclowns D:

[halfdragonhal]

ill kill to get more of these ninja's

[necronius]

Happy Saturday. I am loving the video. Adam could you possibly give me a link to the epic music at the end of the video it would be greatly appreciated.

Love

Necronius

[chluaid]

@necronius I bought the "Epic RPG pack" at audiojungle [dot] net. The artist is Selcuk Bor & the song is called "Day of War".

Beware! After buying & using this music in my version of RedBox Ninjas, a company called GoDigital Media claimed copyright & so YouTube put THEIR ads on my video. I challenged it but it was overturned. I contacted the artist directly & he said he was not a member of GoDigital. YouTube stonewalled me saying I couldn't challenge again, so there was nothing more I could do.

[necronius]

@chluaid Thanks for the heads up on the origin of the track chluaid. I truly appreciate it.

[GrahamChapman]

The only thing I really, really, REALLY don't like about this is that they took down the extended version from YouTube.

[chluaid]

@GrahamChapman I had the extended version on my channel but someone falsely claimed copyright on the music (which is complete BS because I paid for the music and spoke to the artist directly). All the same, even though I challenged it, YouTube put ads on it that weren't paying me, so I chose to take it down instead. Some day I may commission some completely new music and upload the extended version, but that will cost me more money so I'm not sure when that will happen.

[GrahamChapman]

@chluaid *nods* I originally saw it over at biteycastle. Didn't even have time to link it to my buddies the following day before it was taken down, which was kinda disappointing... Even though I liked the extended version better, I'd prefer to see the Bitey movie completed, rather than the extended version of RBN reuploaded... So, if anything, I'd heartily endorse you to continue working on that if anything.

P.S. Are we going to see any more of Bingbong? I kinda miss the li'l rascal.

[chluaid]

@GrahamChapman Bingbong's kinda incidental to the main story now. He's a fun character for comedic shorts but as far as world "lore" is concerned, he's taking a back seat to Bitey and Wee. It's still in the works so progress is being made :D

[GrahamChapman]

@chluaid Ah, I see. Personally, I thought that he seemes like a potentially interesting character. For some reason, I somehow have a hard time wrapping my mind around him being both childlike stupidity incarnate AND being one of the few intelligent/self-aware/whateve­r-I-should-call-it, beings on Brackenwood.

Well, me and my buddies are all waiting eagerly, sooo... Yeah, bestestest of good luck to you, sir. n__n

[Colum1]

Love it's humor

what's it called

Blackmail

Parley

Diplomacy

Oh yeah dipolmacy

[ldthegirl]

genious! truely genious

[RyanBrownDigital]

Thumbs up if this is similar to 80% or more of every game you have ever played.

[cloudnobody]

WHY CAN"T THIS BE A show

[SirGre]

This may be my favorite of the cartoons.



[spartan00010]

what happened to the part about blood in the chips?

[MarkArandjus]

Great episode. Notice how she killed a pirate? :D

[kungfufrog13]

So? Clerics can have hobbies

[Featheredhat]

Best ninja-RPG campaign EVAH... Reminds me of Gamers II.

[themccanns]

Need more of this. MAKE IT A SERIES!

[Coridimus]

Fucking...AMAZING!!!!



[Wraithcannon]

Can anyone read what's written on the Green Ninja's soda can?

[MrWiggleJiggle]

@Wraithcannon in regards to the redbox ninjas the green Ninja's soda can is diet that i can make out but the other word looks like schret or could be scret cant really tell even enlarged the middle letters are hard to make out all i can get from it is a s, e and t

[Daemnor]

@Wraithcannon "Diet Schmet".

[astosky]

can i haz original? like WHO IS DOING THAT? WHO IS DOING THAT?! and then blue says "ith anyone elth hungry? ^^"

[darknessofkrish]

oh, call me a fag if u will, but this has somehow finally convinced me that I need to start playing DnD. I don't care if we throw silly stuff in or not, but still, to bring your own imagination and what not.

[TubePirate1001]

make a series of this!

[MegatronTarantulas]

hilarious

[calimntgirl34]

make a new one!

[TwilightDuality]

I...I watch this...And I weep for my poor DM and all the abuse we've put him through...

[M4gl4d]

Wait, in WHICH book, section, page or whatever do ninja come in? I cant find the damn things. Pun not intended

[bloodyhawk989]

@M4gl4d You can find the Ninja class in 2 books.Oriental Adventures and Complete Adventurer.

[M4gl4d]

@bloodyhawk989 Yes but that is in 3.5, and this is fourth edition we are talking about, now

[bloodyhawk989]

@M4gl4d oh...4E is gay 3.5 with a little pathfinder is way better.

[M4gl4d]

@bloodyhawk989 Eh it always depends on the GM and the players if you have fun or not. And are these videos not all about 4th edition?

[MegatronTarantulas]

@M4gl4d ninja is in 3.0 oriental adventures and in 3.5, it's in complete adventurer

[glyder4u]

@M4gl4d There isn't a ninja class per se in 4E. A rogue or assassin class can easily fit the bill though. Having your character look and act like a ninja are really up to you. 

[MrCensored69]

Someone's been spying on my group.

[HarukoZ001]

Ahahahahaha Epic face palm! I have so been in that situation when behind the screen! LOL

[Lichman12]

DM's worst nightmare...

[Konrax11]

2:24 PALM MEETS FACE WHEN DEALING WITH BADS!!

[Grandstra]

What does she say at the end part?

[hi14993]

@Grandstra she says "oh, ok wait, so, we need some sort of emissary from the king so that she knows we are serious"

[Grandstra]

@hi14993 Thanks.

[shontaia07]

lol

[guidojacobs2002]

DM's Challenge: respond to "Don't worry guys, I've infiltrated the guards and bribed their captain."

My response would be "an object flies out of the shadows and lands at Red's feet. You see that it is the severed head of the guard captain. Roll initiative."

[TheStupedCat]

Nice I hope to see more of the Red Box Nijas soon..

[TronixGuy93]

Not a session goes by that this doesn't in some way mirror one of my typical gaming groups.

[JohnSmithAprilMay]

@TronixGuy93 yours too? My players are KILKILLKILL for every encounter, combat or otherwise... when NPC quest giver guy tells them to kill some bad guy, they instantly become pacifists and require hours of deliberation to find the most bloodless way to deal with the evil ice sorceress and her murderous legion of kobold bandits. It sounds like I'm complaining, but really, bizarre player logic is one of the things I really enjoy about being a DM.

[TronixGuy93]

@JohnSmithAprilMay My problem is balancing challenges for the party which usually consists of 3 players on the nearly opposite sides of the player design chart. The things I set forth that would be obvious paths for the PC's to take they simply ignore, and they always want to go on wild goose chases forcing me to make material on the fly, which is in my opinion not my best work. Now, I've gotten better with practice, but I do wish that sometimes they would just follow through from time to time.

[xplode35]

1:45

[xplode35]

1:47

[DrPeterVenkman]

Bring Back 3.5!

[saldownik]

bring back uncut version please

[CriticCafeteria]

lmao, this reminds me so much of when we play dnd with my friends

[WTFNOYOU]

Epic facepalm.

[TheVillainOfThisTale]

@WTFNOYOU Exactly what I thought when I watched this. XD Friggin' hilarious, just as funny (or even more) as the ones released by Wiz/Bro, promoting the (what was then)upcoming new 4th edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

[AbyssalDrake88]

@WTFNOYOU

Not just epic facepalm, but Royal facepalm.

[halfingr]

I'd play that campaign. 

[BlazeTheDoja]

@halfingr I KNOW RIGHT! XD

[Coridimus]

@halfingr In so many ways I *HAVE* played that campaign!

[DanielNazgulLin]

WIN

[Flugfeuer]

Womens huh?

[GakkiSai]

Get back to Brackenwood already!

[chuckles9702]

@GakkiSai Hey, don't rush the man. Perhaps he's using this to try out some different ideas or different styles.

[pimphofoo]

Adam Phillips you are a genius lol

[DarkSparkX9]

this should be a series! XD

[LilLouise18]

I miss the uncut version! Does anyone know where to find it seeing as Chluaid removed it from his channel?

[cowcowmoooo]

@DonSweetie42: "Don't worry guys, I've infiltrated the guard, and black mailed the captain... We'll be fine"

[DonSweetie42]

What does the red ninjas say arround 1:35, I can't understeand it accusticaly

[Ghost49X]

@DonSweetie42 he says "don't worry guys I've infiltrated the guards and bribed their captain"

[rstfanbot679]

@Ghost49X actually he blackmailed him not bribed him

[DonSweetie42]

What does the red ninja say arround 1:35 , I cant understand it accustically

[Jycorro]

Nicely played.

[evoker616]

1 person here is a pirate...

[TheChiliLime]

Hey Adam!

Its just AWESOME one movie! Brilliant, just brilliant!

From Ukraine with love!

[shimauma42]

That is about the best portrayal of a D&D game I've seen animated yet. Seriously, make more, that was freaking funny.

[pyr0b1rd]

I don't play D&D but I would if it was with them

[Vrolok87]

Omg! Reminds me my sessions and makes me sad, that I'm unable to play at the moment. XD Great film! I love it! :D

[YukoValis]

Can you imagine the fight they must have had picking characters? something along the lines of "No you can't all roll a rogue darn it!"

[RCScribbles]

Ryan Miller and Adam Phillips are AWESOME!!!!

[djsmeg]

Even if they're ninjas, players are really, really stupid.

[EvilDarkForcesRus]

best. facepalm. evar.

[IamayMizono]

maybe i should take up hobbies with my cleric, everybody hits on her.

[SgtStuka]

"Your a cleric!"

"So? Clerics can have hobbies"

XD

[faIlensky12]

@SgtStuka You're*

[LowerLearning]

This is the most awesome nerd candy ever!

[OldSchoolGamer777]

The 1 dislike was a pirate

[Command12000]

I like this I wonder what other misadventures they would create.

[mage189]

Keep pushing that 4.5. :/

[dallan007]

Dude, that's so true to life it's just not funny.

[MSG3FT]

I would love to see more of these. a tv series.

[Ikimono]

Can you give the link to the other video? I cant find it.

[chluaid]

@Ikimono I took the uncut version down because someone else falsely claimed copyright on the music I used. I will replace the music and re-upload at some point, hopefully soon.

[WingDaemon]

Adam, you rock

[sJeGaJn]

hahahahahahaha ... I love it!!!! I really do!

[WyrdDarcnyzz]

~sigh~ "Really, guys? My daughter? Really?" i lolled

[Rhams3y]

"So, clerics can have hobbies." I love that line.

[RoKumm]

perfect animated. shit i love it!

[CyrillKR]

0 people don't have a sense of humor

[effingcow]

forget the animation! The writer is a genius!

[SirMhytos]

la mera verga!! xDDD

[3252062]

i don't play DND but this is funny

[stickmanbrains]

Go to YouTube(dot)com/chluaid, he helped make this. And he has tons of other animations.

[TheUnrealStudios]

this is funny, i hope there's more.

[Clayguy247]

Vid stolen

[VaderGaming]

@Clayguy247 -quadfacepalm-

Vid isn't stolen, AdamPhillips produced it for DnDWizards.

[jlburgos]

Seriously, Wizards should release these videos on a DVD

[stickmanbrains]

@jlburgos Too bad they didn't make them... Chluaid did.

[joshuavillwo]

I just LOVE the facepalm.....  XD

[RockingJ1969]

Sadly my box IS like this.

The girls, really guys? Really?

My new favorite. Beautiful animation.

[stickmanbrains]

@RockingJ1969 Go check out Chluaid's channel, he's the one who made it.

[scorpionfrtt]

hahaha i wish my group were like that

[Bot113113]

Great work with toonboom. Keep it up.

[stickmanbrains]

@Bot113113 Chluaid made this, and he uses Camtaisia's animation program.

[conceitarturo]

@stickmanbrains ??????? camtasia is for capturing the video on your computer, he may use that to export the animation (although it would be weird, toonboom can perfectly export the animation) but he uses TOONBOOM to animate.

[nutherefurlong]

I've known players like that. :)

[ArchArturo]

@nutherefurlong, I've had games that end like this. Only that the players plot this stuff in the tavern.

[Nouseeker]

parlay

:D

[firewolf322]

@Nouseeker blackmail :) 

[Pashford]

loved it! Very funny! Well done Adam! (and the rest of the DNDWizards!)

[kingofcoinjock]

Wow, that sounds so similar to my party.

[kaosgoblin]

L.I.K.E.!!!!!

[RubberRoss]

Adam Phillips ftw.

[vuumbleman]

I love DND. :3

[HalfNakedOctopus]

excellent! love when they all throw shit at each other.

[Darkwintre]

Need more of these!

Seriously we really need more of these!!!

[ravenshroud]

Awesome!

[silverback01]

Great work. Keep'em coming.

[WizardJoni]

So that's where your Ninjas are.

[noblebearaw]

I loved the flsh work and the whole thing is hysterical and well played.
