Robot Chicken/D&D Video Series

[Ten19]

While we're all waiting for the next round of the awesome PA/D&D Podcasts, Wizards has put up a new series of videos relaying the adventures of five writers from Adult Swim's Robot Chicken having a go at a 4th Edition game. The DM is again Chris Perkins (from the PA podcasts) and a couple of the players are new to D&D, so it's interesting to see how they pick up on rules.

All 25 episodes are here, each episode is around ten minutes each.

Awesome.

I've been fiending for more PA D&D. Damn those guys with their empire...get back to gaming! :p

This will work as a substitute.

They're not quite as hilarious as the PA ones, but it's still very entertaining to watch. And of course, very much makes me want to play D&D.

I prefer the PA casts, but they should really take a note from this and do the PA ones with video too. I don't mind just the audio, at all. But actually seeing them play just adds that special little something.

What they need is a website that has PnP games from various universes, and a collection of videos of people playing them. Have channels for Shadowrun, Vampire, etc. Will it happen? Hell, no.

A man can dream though...A man can dream.

This question actually came up at one of the Penny Arcade Q&As at PAX East, where, when the audience showed overwhelming approval for an idea, they said they would try to work that in for a future session. So, fingers crossed!

I wish I could remember the person's full question, though, because he mentioned some other place where D&D sessions were being recorded and shown online. To the research-mobile!

Awesome. I hope that works out.

They could take it an additional step, and dress as their characters...maybe just once, like a special episode or something. Except Wil. He has to wear his federation uniform. ;)

they mostly play D&D, CoC, and a smattering of other games, but they're very funny and damn good roleplayers
