Tales from the Table: Chapter 5: Tale of a Dungeon Master

[IndianaJonny]

Masterfully done! I loved every minute of that.

Well done guys - keep this up!

Wasn't convinced at first, but now we're getting somewhere. Hopefully, if each character gets a backstory that worked as well as this one, we're all in for a treat.

I only wish that it didn't take 2 weeks to get it - but if this is the calibre you're operating at now, I'm happy to wait.

 

[Angnor]

This is starting to show some potential. It may end up being better than the first couple of episodes made it look.
Nice work.

 

[Taynas]

This was so clever guys! I love how it told an in game story as well as the DM's back story at the same time. This show gets better every week.

 

[Morthas]

Absolutely Adore it!

 

[Alpha Maeko]

I have to admit, that was actually pretty good. Nifty way of telling two stories at once.

 

[somonels]

I have to admit this one struck like a hammer. I hope there will be more character exploration incorporated into future episodes. Another blow like this one too soon will thin the metal and weaken the blade.

Yay backstory. I hope this amounts to something, like there being a parallel between the role playing and real life or something like that or I'm worried this will be just an exposition dump with no pay-off.

There really can't be parallels with the DM. You see, while he is running and planning the game, his sister is already preparing to sit on the throne. He will never reach it.
I like sad stories, and i have the feeling that his should have been the last to be explored.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

I uhh.....I have this thing.....where...... works of strong Allegory.....give me a boner.......like, literally........so........I'll be back, hang on. [grabs "equipment" and runs off]

Ahh, I'm back, where were we? Oh yes, this was awesome. Can't wait for more!

Captha: greatest Behavioral. Greatest Behavioral what, exactly?

I know what you mean. I was just saying that it might be nice if he discovered something in the RP that reflected his life somehow and inspired him to do something in his real life. It doesn't need to be as drastic as trying to get to the peak of his father's business, but could be something like making amends with his sister and remembering how close they used to be. It sounds sappy but it could work, she probably only resents him because he abandoned her to play video games and read comics instead of playing with her and he resents her because he wasted his life while she made something of herself.

There's some unresolved issues there, but maybe I'm reading too much into it. I tend to do that.

 

[Chknboy]

Extraordinarily well acted, well written, well spoken, and well done.

 

[Temple Guard]

I'm glad I stayed with this series. I wasn't sure after the first couple of episodes but the past couple have been much better.

 

[Owlslayer]

Wow. That was really good.
I'm not sure if i understood everything what the episode was telling correctly, but nevertheless it was really interesting to watch.
Damn... this was good on a whole new, different, parallel way. Crazy.

 

[GrimTuesday]

Very nice indeed, I thoroughly enjoyed that. I still think you guys should make at least two of the guys be good characters and add a Paladin to the group, preferably a morally ambiguous one.

 

[kozmo]

That was really really good

 

[MeTheMe]

I like the series so far, and now that we might be getting into some real story, I'm quite excited! Keep up the good work!

 

[Aureliano]

Great episode. Probably the best one so far as far as story is concerned. I hope some of that actually comes back in future episodes. One note: the relationship between those siblings is hyper creepy, and I can't see any possible resolution to it that doesn't get creepier.

I don't think creepy is the right descriptor. I don't even know if it's a real rivalry, as it is just a couple of kids at odds with each other. The one who seems more trustworthy being put in charge of the company.

Remember, it's only one side of the story there.

Actually, I found the younger version of the siblings' relationship creepy for more...um, Narnia-related reasons.

 

[shiaramoon]

Nice twist to the story guys, keep up the good work. I really look forward to seeing where this story goes
