Best new show to come to the escapist in a while, I see a lot of potential!

You need to sort out the audio though.

Seems worth a watch for a few episodes. Definitely makes me miss I Hit It With My Axe, though.
No joke, i liked this and im actually pretty sure it will be great but...:( there is just no excuse for cutting "i hit it with my axe" then making a show about the same thing with a twist. :/ i shall support! but lol i dislike the way the escapit has gone about.

This is pretty good, considering I never played D&D. The only show on the the Escapist I really don't like would be Creature Caster Masters.

Me likey! This is already better than that other DnD crap that was on The Escapist for a while. Is it still here? I can't even be bothered to check.

Before clicking on it, I did think it had potential, but it didn't really feel original. Though it did make me go back and watch Gamers and Gamers II.

Makes me think about The Gamers (as many have already said) but it's actually less funny because the characters are so over the top dorks... I mean, those are the kind people even D&D players don't want to play with...

A very similar thing happened the first time I ran a session. They all wanted to be the fighter except the one guy to they made be the wizard. I think we had one rogue but all he did was steal everyone's money... I have yet to decide whether it was good roleplaying or not.

Now that was way more fun than this other DnD serie whose name I forgot (the one with the porn actresses) and that I can't even seem to find in the video archives list anymore (did that serie finish ?), looking forward to the next apisode :)

Well, this show, so far, is a success in my books. It's left me wanting more, and that's the most important part. And it's left me wanting more because it's interesting, it's funny, it's relatively well-acted & well cast, and none of it feels forced.

Overall, this pilot is probably better than all of the episodes of the 'Show About Games Show' put together.

It did seem a tad unoriginal, and the players were somewhat overdone. I've never seen people doing the "I'll be an octopus!" thing unless they were deliberately trying to piss the other players off. And naither players nor the in-game characters got enough development, the banter gave me the impression that everyone was useless at tabletop RPGs and that the GM was a shitty one.

However, the line delivery at 3:53 was perfect. ^_^

Another thing: I just couldn't help but be reminded of this little gem. [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/90046]

"Where are the Cheetos?!"
"They're right next to you!"
"And where's the Mountain Dew?!"
"In the fridge, duh!"

Interesting, but please improve the sound levels? I had to crank it up so much the dancing imp advert at the end just about deafened me!

Agree about the sound, but as pilots go I liked it.
I mean - how different was the Seinfeld series compared to it's pilot? If I go by that I'll be watching episode one of Tales for sure.
