Tales from the Table: Pilot Episode

[fingerbang143]

I liked it,

The acting from the girl and the elf needs some work
Over edited at certain parts
I would like to see more people from the outside world (possibly factor in a bully)
Great concept with the whole going back from there actual persona's to their in-game characters
The costumes for their in game characters are absolute shit (I would like to see less skin from the guy and probably the girl as well
Overall a very watchable program!

Looks decent. I think the best part of it is that it's pretty much exactly what happens when me and my friends play pen-and-paper games. The DM is always trying to move the game along but everyone else always interrupts the game with jokes or quotes or meta stuff.

Hmmmm..... This makes want to actually get a good DnD match in, not with the kids I played with back in 8th grade(god, that was annoying) but other than the fact it makes me jealous I live in an area devoid of DnD players, its a good series

Kinda get the feeling it's going somewhere, but where that is was not clear from the pilot. What we need is to have the real world characters get a little more fleshed out before people can really start to empathize with them, and the beginnings of a narrative arc within the game-world would help to draw in viewers as well as set up the story for the next few episodes. 'The unattractive guy got a girlfriend IRL' is not a compelling storyline unless we care about the 'unattractive guy' and have some investment in his either having or not having a girlfriend.

Without either of these (characterization and a compelling narrative arc), all we get is a pity party about how gamers feel unattractive and fantasize they are entirely unlike they picture their real selves to be. I'm not against the show in any respect, but I think it needs some work to be really great.

Id make a joke about how every one knows that girls dont play games but its getting kind of old and its been proven wrong time and time again

I find that girl playing sorcerer weirdly attractive. Hmm...

i think thats because she is attractive and the fact that she looks nerdy is even more appealing to our kind

This reminds me of "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising" and that is a very good thing. Much more of this please.

I notice a lot of people are commenting on the sound quality. It's odd I had no issues. Other then that, from one aspiring filmmaker to one that is obviously giving it a shot. Break legs guys, I can't wait to see what comes next.

 

[Best of the 3]

I really liked it, effects acting and the content so far are all top notch. I look forward to watching more :3

My DnD Games can be just like that!

Though when My sister screamed "Yippie ki yay Motherfuckers!" while attacking Kobolds me and my mates couldn't stop laughing for a full 10 minutes XD

Thank you, guys! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm sorry, but there's no way that barbarian could be using a shield, a longsword, AND a warhammer.

I'm pretty sure he's too low of a level for Monkey Grip, as well.

...Oh dear, I have shown too much of myself, it seems.

 

[3rd rung]

This just reminds me of the movie Gamers, I mean I am all for it it could get rolling and be funny if they branch out and don't stick with the same tired jokes.

 

[Steady Drain]

Heaps of potential here, good work guys. low sound level?

 

[Zydrate]

Another show? Good god shit.

 

[The Random One]

Wow this came out of nowhere. This video was somewhere in the middle of the last escapist video festival, wasn't it? Still, I can't disapprove anything so intensely British.

 

[Debatra]

I predict this will start pretty much like U-Realms: newbies get annoying (almost to the point of wanting to reach through the screen and punch the writers), but they all become genuinely enjoyable characters after a while.

At least we started with characters already made. I'm not sure I could take another line of Lumberjack jokes.

 

[MaVeN1337]

That was.. actually pretty KICK ASS.

The costumes for their in game characters are absolute shit (I would like to see less skin from the guy and probably the girl as well

Are you kidding me? I thought the costumes were amazing! The filmmakers have obviously put a lot of time and care into making those fantasy costumes so detailed. I don't think the girl showed much skin at all actually; sometimes you got a flash of her leg through her dress but that was it. Yeah the guy in the codpiece was fairly out-there, but I don't think it was done in a gratuitous way at all.

I liked it. I am interested to see how this all goes.

Seems worth a watch for a few episodes. Definitely makes me miss I Hit It With My Axe, though.

There is one woman in this too you know, shyness level +4 versus no shyness level at all being the difference

 

[Sugarman101]

This has a lot of potential if the plan is to flesh the characters out to move away from the stereotypes. The sound design needs a lot of work though. This is often where web-series fall down.
