That show left a bad taste in my mouth... it was just all the most annoying of overdone cliche's in all of dnd, and none of it was done well. I did like the costume choices for the game-world characters, however... very well done for amateur film makers

I liked it,
The acting from the girl and the elf needs some work
Over edited at certain parts
I would like to see more people from the outside world (possibly factor in a bully)
Great concept with the whole going back from there actual persona's to their in-game characters
The costumes for their in game characters are absolute shit (I would like to see less skin from the guy and probably the girl as well
Overall a very watchable program!

Looks decent. I think the best part of it is that it's pretty much exactly what happens when me and my friends play pen-and-paper games. The DM is always trying to move the game along but everyone else always interrupts the game with jokes or quotes or meta stuff.
Hmmmm..... This makes want to actually get a good DnD match in, not with the kids I played with back in 8th grade(god, that was annoying) but other than the fact it makes me jealous I live in an area devoid of DnD players, its a good series
Kinda get the feeling it's going somewhere, but where that is was not clear from the pilot. What we need is to have the real world characters get a little more fleshed out before people can really start to empathize with them, and the beginnings of a narrative arc within the game-world would help to draw in viewers as well as set up the story for the next few episodes. 'The unattractive guy got a girlfriend IRL' is not a compelling storyline unless we care about the 'unattractive guy' and have some investment in his either having or not having a girlfriend.
Without either of these (characterization and a compelling narrative arc), all we get is a pity party about how gamers feel unattractive and fantasize they are entirely unlike they picture their real selves to be. I'm not against the show in any respect, but I think it needs some work to be really great.

Id make a joke about how every one knows that girls dont play games but its getting kind of old and its been proven wrong time and time again
i think thats because she is attractive and the fact that she looks nerdy is even more appealing to our kindDana22 said:
This reminds me of "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising" and that is a very good thing. Much more of this please.
I notice a lot of people are commenting on the sound quality. It's odd I had no issues. Other then that, from one aspiring filmmaker to one that is obviously giving it a shot. Break legs guys, I can't wait to see what comes next.
I really liked it, effects acting and the content so far are all top notch. I look forward to watching more :3
I'm sorry, but there's no way that barbarian could be using a shield, a longsword, AND a warhammer.
I'm pretty sure he's too low of a level for Monkey Grip, as well.
...Oh dear, I have shown too much of myself, it seems.

Wow this came out of nowhere. This video was somewhere in the middle of the last escapist video festival, wasn't it? Still, I can't disapprove anything so intensely British.
I predict this will start pretty much like U-Realms: newbies get annoying (almost to the point of wanting to reach through the screen and punch the writers), but they all become genuinely enjoyable characters after a while.
At least we started with characters already made. I'm not sure I could take another line of Lumberjack jokes.

Are you kidding me? I thought the costumes were amazing! The filmmakers have obviously put a lot of time and care into making those fantasy costumes so detailed. I don't think the girl showed much skin at all actually; sometimes you got a flash of her leg through her dress but that was it. Yeah the guy in the codpiece was fairly out-there, but I don't think it was done in a gratuitous way at all.fingerbang143 said:
