Giant Bomb Unplugged: Dungeons & Dragons: Episode 01

Oh my! Colour me intrigued.

Oh yeah

Why is that background so HD looking?

Lol I love Dan's Character so much. Especially when Danny thinks it is John Cena. That part is the best. I wonder if he will figure out who it really is.

Really liked this, hope it's the start of a long adventure!

Matt was on fire during this and really kept it moving.

OH MY GOD, YES .... THANK YOU!

Not even a fan of D&D but man i cant wait to watch this. Looking forward to how Dan plays this

This looks SO fun!

I'm very excited to watch this, couldn't catch it live but I'm so glad it happened. Hopefully they keep it going for a long while!

Additionally I'm amused (given D&D's stereotypical reputation) by by the number of beards that are present here: just a sheer coincidence, but one that made me smile. Great selection of players, it feels like a good blend of different personalities which always helps to make roleplaying-style content more interesting.

Missed this live, thanks for getting it up quick!

WUT I totally missed this, my afternoon is saved. Loved the Pathfinder ones.

Banana is the correct flavor of Moon Pie.

They really need to do these once a week and preferably have them be longer. They did literally nothing in this one, if they come back in 2-3 weeks they're not even gonna know what they did.

So sad that it'll be weeks until the next one :(

Loved the character creation. Yeah, there's a huge info dump and rules stuff beginning, but actually running the game is a lot more streamlined and less crazy number crunchy than either Pathfinder or4e. There may be a good chance that one of their characters actually die in combat, 5e is super dangerous for level 1-3 characters.

Also good on Danny for choosing wild magic, it's not as OP damage dealing but is a ton of fun to roll on the random effects. My own sorcerer was "killed" because her wild surge rolls basically went crazy and de-aged her into a 1-year old. No regrets.

As a person like Dan, i don't understand D&D. So this is really interesting to me... Nice work guys. Good stuff.

IT'S BACK!!!!! A little upset we're not seeing the continuation of the Pathfinder unplugged, but I'll take it!

This was so much fun to watch. Man, the content really is finally starting to flow back in, and I really do enjoy these premium video features more than anything else. Dan was a great sport, Danny seems like he's genuinely having fun, Drew is being thoughtful, Brad speaks with interest and avoids making too many assumptions (greatly appreciated!), and Matt is doing a GREAT job with pacing while still allowing everyone to take the time they need. I really appreciate that nobody is trying to rush things along for the sake of "entertainment". This is how D&D sessions should go, and I'm really excited for this group of guys -- can't wait for the next one, and really hope they do move this up to a weekly event.

YES!

Please continue to do these, I really enjoyed the previous Pathfinder videos as well!

Isn't that common knowledge?

Dan is a delight

This is great! I've never played D&D, but it's always fascinating to watch people play :) Matt does a great job as DM.

Bless you Rorie for making the dudes do this again.

Took me a second to figure out Dan's character

So, does Jeff, like, refuse to participate in these? It's probably for the best, as he doesn't seem like the kind of person that would be able to take it seriously at all (seriously as in, get into character and role play etc.).

Is Dan roleplaying his dad I wonder??!

Dan, you can be more creative than Ric Flair!

Being from GA, that was the first I'd heard of putting Moon pies in the microwave. Sounds yummy though! We've always just ate em straight out of the wrapper cold.

Ser Dick of the Horse

Jeff answers questions exactly like this one on his Tumblr account.

I try to never post things like, "great, been waitin for this!", but

Great! Been waitin for this!!!

I realize the spoiler limitation on DS9 is way over, but screw you @dannyodwyer, I am literally 5 episodes from the end of that show.

Dan trying to be as subtle as he can while trying to create D&D Ric Flair is outstanding.

@ultimaxe: From his Tumblr:

I don’t like playing D&D at all. Not in a “I’m going to creatively play against this thing I don’t like” way, but in a “I have zero desire to be here, let’s hurry it up” sort of way. I probably wouldn’t bring anything useful to that show.

@evgar: And come on, spoiler tag that stuff, dude!

I'm not entirely sure he can.

awesome this feature is back. and with danny this time yay
so i was thinking with all the danny content. when will they finally anounce that giantbomb hired danny?

I prefer a fork for cheetos

How is there not a WWE DnD edition yet?

@grillbar: he already has a job.

1:45 - Your facebook or mine?

I love that at 15 min is seems like @danryckert is 100% shooting for Ric Flair.

this is going to be great! really looking forward to silly antics

Dans character choice is hilarious, basically a wrestler, which you see a mile off!

10-1 Brad tries to murder everyone.

Big ups to @rorie for making this accessible to the non-D&D players out there. Easy to follow, kept things moving and explained things perfectly.

I know you said you probably screwed up the little details, Matt, but you did a magnificent job as a teacher, DM and host. You really deserve some major props for your performance here.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Cool, you guys should make this a weekly feature.

Really looking forward to this, it sewks that Mary Kish couldn't join.

Also Dan is LITERALLY making Ric Flair.
