99.99% of people who either say D and D is retarded or horrible have never drawn up a character or role a d20 to do a random skill or attack roll, they either just watched a group of people play or just assume that its as a buddy of mine called it "the antipunn"...I say if you diss on something you should at least try it out or read up about it..at least in D and D its never ending..
@Uberdude1010 honestly I can't be completely objective because I grew up with 3rd edition. Also not many people actually play 4th; Pathfinder has been game of the year at Gen con the last 2 years I've gone and it was pretty depressing seeing no one at the 4th edition kiosk. I mean they are doing pretty terrible in profits and understanbly they would. They killed the game, I mean who wants to play a dungeons and dragons game where a wizard can miss with his magic missile, that's just depressing.
I think Bards are in 4th edition, it's too bad that they are learning D&D from 4th edition. 3.5 would be a much better exposure for them. Down with 4Th!
While I learned to play D&D through 3.5, learning the game through 4th edition is definitely easier to do. And if 4th edition was as bad as you make it out to be, then why do people play it? If you look at 4th edition as a separate game, and not try to hold it to some past standard, then it holds up rather well. I still enjoy 3.5 more, and Pathfinder even more so than 3.5, but I wouldn't shut out 4th just because its different.
Now have played D&D very little and i must say i have enchanted by this...and this is the red box..if i had known about this many moons ago i would be much deeper into it..but 20 bucks for this kind of fun..im all in
@Badon124 it was actually alot of fun (calculating thaco), I haven't played since 2nd edition rules so i really couldn't compare it to the new stuff though.
@edgeypoosisepic GRRM as DM, BECAUSE HE'S ALIVE!!!!!! And a far surperior writer by all accounts, and much more respected. Tolkein is a legend, but doesn't hold up to GRRM. After Game of Thrones series, I believe the world also feels the same
@edgeypoosisepic Hitler. He could be a bard and convince all the humans that they should band togeather and get ride of the halfling merchants who are stealing their money! (I'm a horrible person)
@edgeypoosisepic John Rhys-Davies and Viggo Mortensen. One's an amazing story teller and the other knows poetry, songs, swordfighting and horseriding.
if you ask me, they should have animated this partly, going inbetween actually playing the game, and whats happening in the game, like enemies and certain things that would be funny...
i am just starting to get into DnD [Pathfinder really]... are they playing 4th edition, or 3.5? I think it is 3.5 but I am too much of a n00b to tell.
One time when i was playing D&D with my friends, one of my friends rolled to slap our employer. When he did slap him, he rolled a 20 and knocked the employer out. funniest day ever.
@Surbrus Never really experienced that problem. Just gotta make sure everyone is thinking about what they're gonna do before their turn. There are lots of ways to speed up combat as well. Such as reducing monster hp and increasing the damage they do. Makes combat faster, but more deadly. The monsters from the MM3, Dark Sun creature catalog, and the Monster Vault basically do this.
God knows I love the insight that comes from group role play, even if it IS frightening enough here, where for the briefest of moments a bunch of business minded adults were a bee's dick away from turning the adventure down....because it sounded risky.
Hey i want to start playing D&D and i was wondering if there were any groups and such in Melbourne Australia just to teach me the rules and and introduction.
I love how the two guys who never played before go from "this is dumb", to hanging on the DM's every word in minutes, and then talking in character. =P
Been thinking of trying D&D again for old time sake. They make it sound like fun again... except the one dude needs to lay off the donuts or this game will kill him :)
it's all the same actually.. the fun are still there... the rules only change because it simplified and more focused on gaming than rule reading... unlike on the first versions... when someone cast a spell.. the dm needs to search for that rule and time are being wasted looking for it... most of the time, it becomes the reason for others to get tired waiting for the rules on that action to be found... for others the first versions are better because they knew the rules but not for the new ones..
1) In a battle with a powerful wizard exeprimenting on time travel the party and wizard are accidentally teleported to the early cretatious period and and have to fight each other and dinosaurs
2) The party stumbles upon a lost valley where since the dinosaur times magic has prevented extinction. Super intellagent raptor hominiods have colinized the land riding and hunting dinosaurs. Players must help/hurt the different rapor clans.
@GonnaBeALongLongTime i rather not call it time travel my friend.. more of teleporting to other place but not in time... i i choose the second option... here's an idea.. your party was on a boat or ship traveling heading what ever direction.. until a thick fog came and swallow your ship or boat.. then after the fog disappear.. you find your self heading on an island which is not on your map or what ever.. classic way to get to an strange island with dinosaurs.. etc... :)
This is some top-drawer DMing, but then I would expect nothing less from one of the minds behind the game itself. These guys are awesome new players, as well, and also awesome players in general. Kudos to all present at that table.
My group moved into 4th, but then they have ventured back into 3.5. Anyone else's group done that or is it just mine? They complain that it is too much like WOW.
@Corailie I think it's more about what you want from it. :) I have a couple of D&D campaigns, as a DM...With a play group we're going to alternate them...The other playgroup simply hates it...I'm studyin' 4th edition right now and even if our game style is totally "narration-centered" (we play with candles, gadgets and ambient music) I think it enhance narration someways...Its rules are combat centered, but they're pretty "simple" compared to the 3.5 issues...
i agree...videos like these are great ways to see how a good DM runs the game. Ive been running my 4th edition campaign for 6 months now, and this video showed me that im not a crappy DM. lol :)
My husband and I have played D&D for over 20 years each, and honestly weren't thrilled with anything past 2nd edition - the later editions seemed more concerned with min/maxi wargaming than Roleplaying. But after listening to Chris GM for the Penny Arcade crew and now here, I'm actually interested in giving 4th edition a try. (Side note - I did *not* expect him to look like that after listing to the PA podcasts!)
I do play RPG sometimes. Cience magazines even say it helps brain development. Anyway, I play and I do think it´s lame. It´s not something I´d tell to any girl I´ve dated. Some found out and luckly, they just made fun of me. Anyways...
...if there is something that´s even lamer than playing D&D...
...it´s certainly watching a D&D Game by youtube! That´s for sure.
Rather than dumping me. I didn´t mean they made fun in a mean way. They were pretty much ok with it. I just have many friends (girls) who are not. I don´t know... Things maybe don´t work in the same way were you come from. Lucky you?
It´s damn easy to call people pathetic through the internet. ;-]
@DaviBraid The way you phrased your response has caused SSj5Bob's comment. First you say you play RPGs, then explain they are "lame." This is misleading. I personally do not engage in activities I deem "lame." Waste of time, right? You also say, and I quote "Some found out and luckly, they just made fun of me." Which means you were thankful nothing else happened. As for what, you tell us. Would they have beaten you? Burned your D&D books? Performed an Excorcism? Maybe those aren't real friends
@BonkaNok What´s up to you guys who don´t get sarcasm that well? About being lame. Yeah, it looks lame even to me, but it´s something I like to do. Have you never done something you like, but embarasses you? Lots of people have.
@BonkaNok "...they just made fun of me." I refer to girls I´ve dated, but were kinda cool with RPG. Different of my friends´ girlfriends who had dumped them or made them stop playing. My ex-girlfriend, luckly, was just saying things like: "Oh, my god, I´m dating a nerd" joking.
@DaviBraid I do get sarcasm 99% of the time when it is spoken word. Type can be somewhat unclear in its context. As for liking something that embarrasses me. No, no I do not. This is contradictory. As is liking something I deem to be lame. These words need to be examined more carefully. Simply put. You wouldn't do it if it was embarrassing, and you wouldn't like it if it were lame. Vocabulary for today's class: embarrass, lame, contradictory
well depends. when i DM i just have a few notes about the general area the plot should be going. like that screen is usually just stats for weapons, monsters, etc.
I think this is a great example of quality dm'ing for new players! (Not worrying about too many rules, addressing things as they come up, slowly inviting character interaction, etc.) Cool!
@weasleydavid And how slick was the DM? The moment they started sounding like they were honestly about to bail on the whole scene due to RISK (still blows my mind), what did the DM do?
"Oh hey, you know there's...tons of treasure down there too."
Without missing a BEAT!
God that mans so in tune with what's going on he must sweat harmony.
This was awesome! I'd like to see more videos of other people playing D&D. They don't always have to be famous or anything. It'd help talk some of my friends into playing if they knew a little more about what playing the game is like. This is a great way to do that!
@circusmunky finding people to play dnd is simple, if you are in high school there is almost garunteed to be a good 2 or 3 others at least that will play with you. if you can't find anybody just find a gaming/comic shop in your area that holds tournaments and go talk to people there to see if you can join a game.
Does anyone else think Dan and Kevin are really cute? Too bad I think they're married.

well depends. when i DM i just have a few notes about the general area the plot should be going. like that screen is usually just stats for weapons, monsters, etc.

Hmm....he's ok as a DM - nothing spectacular there.
If he's 'great' to you, I'd hate to see who's been running your games :)

I do agree, bro, but you see... The group is not the kind that would help either, right?

Yes Chris is a great DM. Makes me look bad. Very fun group to watch. I find it amazing how Many things all groups have in common. Keep it up guys.

Do I detect a hint of 3.x habits creeping through?

3.x habits? please explain. cheers

The DM tries to think of an appropriate skill to use to know of spiders, and defaults to Knowledge skills, which were in 3.x, and not in 4e.

Really nicely shot! captures the fun of D&D and I love how everyone who has not played it before gets sucked in.

This is great, I'm going to take some pointers from this next time I GM.

Quality DMing, I wish I was that good.

I think this is a great example of quality dm'ing for new players! (Not worrying about too many rules, addressing things as they come up, slowly inviting character interaction, etc.) Cool!

@weasleydavid And how slick was the DM? The moment they started sounding like they were honestly about to bail on the whole scene due to RISK (still blows my mind), what did the DM do?
"Oh hey, you know there's...tons of treasure down there too."
Without missing a BEAT!
God that mans so in tune with what's going on he must sweat harmony.

This was awesome! I'd like to see more videos of other people playing D&D. They don't always have to be famous or anything. It'd help talk some of my friends into playing if they knew a little more about what playing the game is like. This is a great way to do that!

@circusmunky finding people to play dnd is simple, if you are in high school there is almost garunteed to be a good 2 or 3 others at least that will play with you. if you can't find anybody just find a gaming/comic shop in your area that holds tournaments and go talk to people there to see if you can join a game.
