I like DnD and RPGs in general. It's nice to see a show on this site about it that I would watch.

I lean towards that it is more like "The Gamers", which is awesome!Tinq said:

I really loved this, would definitely love to see more, here's hoping for a win.
This is awesome! Fantastic idea and really well shot. The characters have a great dynamic with each other also which is really important when creating a long running series. Gotta agree that the costumes are amazing, really adds polish to the overall production. Good luck guys, really hope this wins because I want to see more.
Hi Everyone
Thanks a lot for all of the kind words. I'm really excited and pumped that our pilot episode of "Tales From The Table" has made it too the First Cut category. I'm really happy to hear all of your feedback.
One thing I would like to address is the few comments with regards to sound. We had limited time in post to get the levels right where we would like them so thought that it might be enough to go with. In future we will of course be able to have more time to focus on this important aspect.
Thanks for all of your support and I hope you all get the chance to see were we are planning to take these characters.
If you have any questions about "Tales From The Table" or where we see the series going, don't hesitate to ask.

This was awesome! So much effort
Out of all the films this one is by far the stand out, production values were really high, great SFX! Was a little hard to hear at times but that was a tiny flaw by comparison!
FTW all the way! I'm vote this one No.1
BTW the t-shirt that the girl wears is awesome! Is the "Magical Adventures with Blake and Steve" a show?

Very impressive special effects and good acting. I enjoyed this, especially the accents (yes, I am a sucker for cool accents, shut up) and the fact that you actually cut to the game world when the DM is narrating. It honestly reminds me a lot of my own sessions.
This is definitely up in my favourites for winning, so good luck! =D

This has real depth, both in plot and in costumes. I could see this really go somewhere, just as long as it doesn't stray into easy territory with the characters...
I would fell that the characters are a bit two clichéd (Plastic elf ears?) I think it may have potental and some bits were good but the characters tended to grate when they tried to be funny.
I love how the real world characters are like a silly/makeshift version of the fantasy world. It works really well and its nice to see so much effort to link the RL action to the fantasy sequence. I think the plastic elf ears were a great silly reference considering how awesome the fantasy elf costume was! Your imagination is always way more awesome than the real world. Great Job, totally have my vote!
This touched me.... I completaly sypathise with that DM as that is what my group was like (but with 8 of them!)
That was actually really good. The production quality was impressive and so was the acting I thought.
I'd like to see this series replace both Unforgotten Realms, which decided to leave us a while back, and I Hit It With My Axe, which is not very good. Top-notch cinematography, bravo.
I wonder, though; does this series have a plot, like UR?

Hello Again everyone,
Just to answer a few thoughts, "Tales From The Tables" is definitely intended to be a character, full plot, driven series. We want to be able to expand on these characters as individuals, but also as the group as a whole.
Thanks again for all of your support and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Who is this aiming to appeal to? I LOVE D&D but I find it really hard to watch other people playing it (I Hit With My Axe is a case in point) After watching "Tales" a few times I noticed that there isn't a huge amount of actual D&D playing (Where as Unforgotten Realms is heavy on it) I think the less is more approach is great for non D&D gamers (and lets face it I think they are the real escapist bread and butter) But how are you going to appeal to the D&D gamers who the show appears to be aimed at? Love to hear your thoughts Lord_Goose_Man and anyone else who thinks I have a fair point.

I personally am not a D&D player so I don't know much about the technical aspects of the game, but this show looks like it has a great potential to go in either (or both) directions; by that I mean it could have some content that could specifically engage hardcore D&D players but the characters look really interesting and I personally would loved to see their personal stories unfold (maybe with some funny references to their fantasy Avatar's reality too!) I'd hate to see it end up generic and clichéd like some other gaming stories.
I'd also really like to know what's in store for the Dungeon Master....am I the only one who thinks that guy is hot?! About time there was some talent! lol
