The concept is funny, if only for the hairdresser, that made me smile. Not really enough to carry a series though. Now, get some interesting characters, intriguing stories and good roleplaying in there and it could be interesting to watch. If you're going for humor, finding a proper, good "weirdo" player wouldn't hurt. You know, the guys (or gals) who play cybernetic janitors and min-max for cleaning? And by good I mean someone who actually makes said joke character interesting and productive too. A rare breed, I know, but look around, you'll find one.
But I have to agree with the rest here, while the idea of pornstars playing D&D might be novel, it's only going to work if those people actually do something interesting and prove entertaining. The mere nature of their career isn't really gonna carry it. Still, being able to say "Hot pornstars like roleplaying" would certainly help convince players who are on the fence about trying. Don't need to mention none of them are in my group
But yeah, get some interesting gaming going on, show more of the game itself (in a more cohesive fashion) and get some proper camerawork up in there and it could be an interesting slice of life style documentary. That, or just get someone with a bit of comedic skill and give us something to laugh about.

If they could have a show on the escapist (It's okay, though I don't think I'll watch it again), then I should have a show on the escapist! How do you do it? Do you simply submit previous work and an idea? Cause if that's all it takes, then I could easily do that!
These comments are a perfect storm of ignorance and prejudice.
Half the people here wouldn't be happy if the video featured Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson coming down from heaven with the Game of Games on two stone tablets - because its Dnd, and that's "boring".
The other half wouldn't be happy if the video featured Sasha Grey and friends healing the sick and negotiating peace in the Middle East - because they're in porn and therefore fair game for snide comments that assuage sexual frustration.

Well I don't play DnD but I find it fascinating about how it works and the choices etc. so I find watching people play it strangley entertaining. Also the fact they aren't the stereotypical players adds a new dimension into the mix. I will be following it with curiousity.
Yeah, I'm ignorant and prejudice for not liking a boring show, filmed rather poorly. I couldn't give five flying ferret fucks if they are porn stars or not. It's boring, simple as that. Do I like DnD? Yes, love it, one of the best things you can do with friends. Do I want to watch strangers play it? Hell no. I like the irony of you accusing people of being prejudice for not sharing your point of view. It's called an opinion, get over it.craddoke said:

I never thought I'd see Sasha Grey on The Escapist. Though the novelty of that idea didn't last the entire video. I'm guessing the idea is that the internet is full of nerds, and nerds like video games so the two must be combined: Pornstars playing one of the more nerdy games out there on a site for... nerds.
I really hope The Escapist tries to at least get one new decent series. All the new shows have failed to hold my attention so far.
