This is the best live action show the escapist has ever had... and I can say this with only one episode under the belt. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, Gaming series and humor always catches my attention and the pilot was well done in my opinion. I can't wait for the next episode!
It remind me of A Good Knight Quest and abit of Doraleous and Associates (the whole player classes) which is good. Now I have to wait for two weeks to watch more of this!
I laughed out loud, this is excellent. Costumes, great. Characterization: not going to critique from one episode, but they have a recognizable quality that will keep me watching. And I got to say (from where I'm sitting; in Canada) the accents.
As I've seen in a previous post someone commenting on how The characters are all bad stereotypes we've seen a dozen times before in satire of table top gaming.
That may be true, but it remains funny to me because that's often what happens in gaming groups. It's a true story, and to not make fun of it would be just like not doing jokes about sex, marriage, farts, and other things. I'll check out Knights of the Dinner Table though.

Good pilot episode, can't wait to see where this goes. As others have said though the volume needs to be higher.
Also I call natural 20 on that last die roll

Great show.
That being said, as someone who actually was in a D&D group, this is highly unrealistic.
There's no way he actually got a girlfriend.

"Hmm, another D&D session based series is piloting.. I approve." *click* *stare* "hmm..."
Bottom line: I disapprove.
A few keywords: acted, heavy editing, lame stereotypes of bad stereotypes, world jumping.
It wants to be The Gamers, but ultimately feels more like the 8-bit Reenactment of D&D, which I want to virtually strangle until it's virtual eyes pop out.

Future episode better go for at least 22 minutes and get made weekly and be of the same quality! It's certainly impossible, clearly, but by the 52nd and final episode, it shall be the greatest show ever. ;D
It is quite enjoyable and well made, although the story, for now, doesn't have anything noteworthy. If it keeps the production quality and improves story-wise, it'll be a great show. I'll keep watching.
I'm not saying it isn't common for a group to have one girl or for the elf to be the archer, I'm saying that those jokes and characters have been done before and that they weren't funny here. You're right about the story though, there really wasn't enough to base that on.KEM10 said:
