To be honest the GM could narrate with a bit more character and colour, i liked how the miniature really "landed" on her.
The colored models are nice too^^

Anxiety is the least of your problems if you decide to play D&D.
As I found out, sleep and nutrition are also quite large problems.
What would other Escapists do if they are asked to play in this game?

Couldent think of much to say unless it involved badges i think this is what the series needs now.
I agree. I think this series needs some IHIWMA Badges.
Maybe people could make suggestions.
@ Jaranja: Yeah, and they have big boobs. For some people, that's what they're watching the series for.

This is about the only issue that's still around.Jaranja said:
The show has very much improved since Jolie joined, though I don't neccessarily think it's just because of her. The whole production crew seems to be getting more of a hang of this.
It's bugging me that they still haven't figured out how to walk on the ceiling...or, the floor, as the case may be. "Don't say the magic words!" That was the hint, wasn't it?
To the people complaining about the boob shots, the description of the show is "It's D&D. With pornstars and strippers." That's really one of the main appeals.
Rest in peace, Ronnie James Dio. Rest in peace.

I watched the first two eps, and decided to give the show a few more eps before I'd resume watching, to see if it ever caught its stride. This is what, episode 9? 10? It's just like it was when it came out, and I cannot stand it.
GM person, you have no character or color to your world. You have "dudes" on a table, numbers on a paper, and that is all. Lose the "and these guys are all like, 'Aaaah,'" and act a little. Get into a persona or two.
What's more, your players are unfocused. They ARE having a good time, and that's important. But your lack of Character doesn't give any world for people to immerse themselves in, and as a result, you get players more likely to be unfocused, with bland characters of themselves.
I will give you another 9 to 10 weeks and check back.
[sub]Psst, "D&D with strippers" is a pretty disrespectful tagline. While I can't speak for how your players feel about it, the tag doesn't speak very highly of how you view them as people, as women, and as your players. Something worth considering.[/sub]
--------------------EDIT-----------------------
I'd like to lead off with stating for the record that I used to work in a strip club myself as a waitress. I often fooled around with one of the girls there, and later dated another that starred in many of the home grown pornographies that was even shown on in house TVs. I have no disrespect for the profession of exotic dancing, porn, or the sex industry.
When I say "disrespectful tagline," I'm looking at it as how I would try to promote a show. That icon hasn't changed since episode 1, some weeks ago, which tells me that you were trying to grab peoples attention... with sex. Yes, they're women- very attractive women. Yes, they work in the sex industry. That is also very sexy. I base this next part on the three episodes I've seen, but, it's a show about women playing D&D. There is no apparent connection with these womens profession, and D&D. So when I say that it's a disrespectful tagline, I say that you're using these women as sexual icons to sell your show. I see the tagline, and I read "these women are sexual objects; come see them roll dice!"
Now, some of your players have replied to me, telling me they don't find the line disrespectful (and they enjoy your style of GMing). And if they don't mind being used to draw in viewers, more power to them. I just know that I would demand more respect than that of myself to draw in viewership.
You don't have to appease me. I'm done with your show. If I'm the only one that finds your advertising methods questionable, then that's more power to you.
[sub]And that's it. Not replying to any more comments on the topic. I am in fact deleting any and all quotes I get from this thread. While I haven't been swamped with replies, I've gotten more than I care for in varying degrees of hate. I've addressed it, and I am done with it.[/sub]

Since my little post script comment has drawn more attention than the critique of your show and GM habits itself, I'm going to address it, post this whole thing in my original post, and call it good, since I'm rather tired of people making assumptions about what I meant by a "disrespectful tagline."EchetusXe said:

Loved it.
Highlights for me
KK sudden new ability with dice once she's rolling against her own party.
"That's the cutest thing ever" about the beetle-riding goblins pushing a hydra towards you.
"Tiamat!" Heh. Frankie's been reading the Monster Manual (or perhaps watching Saturday morning cartoons), but her identification skills could use some work.

Great episode! The werewolf part with Kimberly hitting the low rolls to fail saves against becoming a werewolf, then rolling the 20s when going berserk - hilarity.
Who're Frank Franzetta and Ronnie James Dio? Hmm, maybe I'll wiki them later.

It amazes me how easily it is to get wrapped up in the story when watching these episodes.
Also allow me to continue to fawn over Justine. She's even more lovely with glasses on. *fawns*

Yes, that was rather amusing, and reminds me how my usual group rolls - when it's important, we can't hit the broad side of a barn, but when we're asked to make some silly dice check, oh hey, natural 20!fnartilter said:

But to answer, Frank Frazetta was a fantasy artist of great repute - his iconic Conan covers in particular redefined the standard for sword and sorcery artwork, and Ronnie James Dio was a heavy metal legend.
Next you'll tell us you've never heard of Boris Vallejo or something.
Great to see the girls enjoying themselves so much.
Great to see them take it so seriously. Even if they are very naive compared to more experienced roleplayers, I really like to see the passion they bring.
Awesome that Justine is really getting into the game. Fun to see the most desirable female on the planet playing D&D.
Man I wish I was the GM for this group.
