Crimy. The episode JUST WENT UP. Did you guys even watch it before posting your stunningly boring complaints?

One of the better episodes to me. It has a lot of the great sides of D&D. Improvising everything, ridiculous tactics, epic fails and underdogs coming up victorious. It's also good to see Sasha who never played before is already getting good at it and participating just like the rest. As opposed to the beginning when she had no clue what the hell was going on.

Hope the 2nd session continues as great.

Not a great episode - everyone seemed to be getting kind of bored and/or drunk, and things just seemed to be winding down. Still some good parts - "In your face, dungeon master!"

Wow. it only took seven episodes to totally break the Flash embed with some silly "FlowPlayer" branded wrapper. I hope SOMEBODY got paid... because this just got knocked off my RSS.

This show seems to be more trying to take advantage of the average "nerd" stereotype.

"They like D&D, watching porn stars play D&D is probably more action than they've ever gotten! They'll love it!"

This sort of thing offends me somewhat because of that. Just saying "look, porn stars, watch them do something you like doing" is -not- an adequate premise for episodic content. Perhaps one episode, just as a joke, but making it a whole series is pretty sad.

I expect more understanding of their usual audience from the Escapist.

I agree with Sasha on the roll for blanket size. Seriously, you wouldn't go intoa shop and buy a "one to six foot by one to six foot woollen blanket" at a fixed price, would you? Blankets should have a defined size. I don't have any D&D sourcebooks here but it would make sense for them to all be six by four or six by five. A two by two would make an improvised sling or could be folded into a small pillow, but would not serve as a blanket.

I also agree with Shadowflame66. Oi!

Thirdly, while this episode seemed a lot better than the preceding ones, it's still guilty of trigger-happy editing. Someone somewhere splied one second from an hour later into the gap where they'd cut out half an hour's plot just because he could. It was headache city trying to watch the first ones. Was that meant to make us as confused as a ditzy blonde at her first RPG session with a really inept GM, or was it just idiotic? If you've got a story to tell or something funny to show or an awesome discovery to reveal or science to teach, you should tell the story, show the funny thing, reveal the discovery or teach the science. If you try story funny the disco teach tell and very the thing the the science to you're going to convince the audience you've just come off your medication. That cameraman needs to back off and stand still, too .....

..... and after some googling I reckon this series is the sexiest Sasha Grey's ever looked on camera.

Here is a small collection of Not Safe For Work reasons why porn just isn't sexy [http://www.donnypauling.com/blog/2010/03/11/is-this-sexy/] even if you are a voyeur with a fake-orgasm fetish.

I think it's more 'Hey! Here's pornstars! They don't normally do this. Laugh at how uncommon it is! LAUGH!' rather than 'Gee wizz! Nerds like porn! Nerds like DnD! Lets put them together and watch them drool all over their screens!'

I agree with you sort of, I like this serie well enough but "when an ape detective isn't investigating he's just another monkey."
Meaning, you might as well tag line this "Women playing DnD." because that's what this is.
Still, this is better then any given episode of Gamedogs.

Yeah, the whole blanket thing? What the hell? It was a pretty good idea and... I think it should have worked. Except for, you know, physics.

But all in all, it was a pretty good episode.

REALLY ZAK?! Now your shrinking blankets?! Don't blankets come in one size? Quit changing the laws of physics on them. Frankie got a nice roll for her crossbow and killed the Spider Queen...fuck yeah! That was an awesome game! Congrats on the victory and I'm very much gonna watch the next D&D session for this show.

this isn't going anywhere and well imo it's just boring... i watched upto here and i don't see how people can find this entertaining. there have been many good suggestions as what you could do to make it interesting but it seems as if you've just ignored all them. no offense but this needs a lot of improvement if i'm gona start watching it again.

Yeah I totally agree. I mean they're pornstars, it's not like they're actual people or anything or could otherwise be interesting when they aren't naked...
