Tales from the Table: Pilot Episode

[dietpeachsnapple]

These are people I would have screened out of the candidate pool, LONG before they ever made it into my game. A good team can handle ONE of these knuckleheads. A room full of them is just self feeding stupidity.

Pass.

Porn stars and strippers were better. Although, this one is funny too.

 

[Some_Jackass]

This aint bad, but put a gun to my head a make me pick only one-Id take "I Hit It With My Axe" every time.

 

[TheEldestScroll]

the gamers is better. this just isn't an accurate depiction of what goes on during dnd haha.

 

[OblivionSoul]

Funniest new show on here in quite some time. It reminds me of the older shows that used to be on here like Unforgotten Realms and Doomsday Arcade.

 

[Owlslayer]

Pretty good. Though the sound was a bit too quiet at some points of the video.
And it really reminded me of the wilder, out of control games I've had... But god dammit, even if they were batshit insane, they were fun as hell. Well, unless i was the DM. Then they sucked.

Looking forward to the next episode.

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.

The sound quality is bad. It's way too low. Play that video, then play another one, let's say Zero Punctuation, and notice how the sound is suddenly almost twice as loud.

I have played tons of videos on this site, for me on my computer the sound quality is fine. Not to say no one else is having issue, just not me.

Honestly wasn't that impressed. I'm just getting kinda tired of cookie cutter style table top videos. To me, nothing is as fun and exciting as the real thing. Although it wasn't bad, I just feel like theres not a lot to distinguish it from anything else I've seen in this style.

 

[Clonekiller]

The elf with the huge nose does it.

 

[Thaius]

I liked it. Definitely a funny episode that shows a lot of potential for the series. I think by focusing on the game and characters rather than trying to sell itself by the actors' status as strippers (like another not-so-good Escapist show), it succeeds. I'll be watching this one.

 

[wildpeaks]

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

"I hit it with my axe"

Ah yes that's the name, thank you

 

[GeorgW]

Finally!! What took so much time? Biweekly sucks, but that's the way it is when you're indie. Nice episode, but I'll wait for more episodes until I say more.

 

[WallyWest]

I do my best not to judge a show by it's first episode, but seeing this I can't help but be seriously bitter over loosing I Hit it with My Axe. That was a hilarious show, good concept and the players were all exceptional.

That being said hopefully this show is good. It's definitely got a Knights of the Dinner Table vibe to it and hopefully that plays out well in the rest of the series. I reserve full judgment till later episodes (though I will say bi-weekly sucks to wait for).

 

[BrotherRool]

I think the acting is the sell here. Best on the Escapist and that's no insult to the other video makers, you've already sold me on caring about all of them and now i'll feel in on all the jokes

 

[Small Dragon]

Aussies all the way..
"And stop stealing gold. I'm trying to save up for a car"

 

[Austin Allen]

Sorry, but I am not of the popular opinion here. The whole dnd gaming jokes around the table have been done much better in other places(Knights of the Dinner Table). The characters are all bad stereotypes we've seen a dozen times before in satire of table top gaming. They weren't even funny.

Tell me if even one of these things hasn't been to death; one of the characters is a girl, one of the guys actually managed to get a girlfriend, and of course the archer is an elf. We've seen this done before and better, there's nothing original about any of this.

For all of you that liked this, please go look into the comic book Knights of the Dinner Table, same set up, better characters, and better and funnier jokes and story.

I didn't laugh at all :< Not something I will be keeping an eye out for.

 

[vivster]

i expected the worst
in the end it wasn't too bad
the jokes weren't bad... but bad executed

and seriously? ANOTHER show on D&D?
i'm going with my very first thought and say: "unforgotten realms live-action ripoff"

 

[Omenseer]

I didn't laugh out load or chuckle or anything and I had to pause half-way through it was painful but I am willing to give it a few more views.

the part about with the girl commenting about how wouldn't want a girlfriend just reaffirmed that I still don't get the male fascination with girl on girl. And yes I have seen the "Duh" and "1+1=2" arguments before.

 

[Chronologist]

It's spooky how close this mirrors my own D&D group. We have the womanizer who always seduces NPC and other players, the soft spoken girl who's really into the game, the anti-player who steals from everyone, and the guy who actually has a girlfriend who shows up and pointedly ignores the fun we're having. I guess that would make me the overly dramatic DM who has to keep them on track. Go figure.

Did anyone else hear the music and think "isn't this the song they play on EpicMealTime?"

My goodness! You're right!
