"I've heard some rumors about it," he tells us of a potential follow-up. "But I don't know anything yet. But I feel pretty confident that it may happen." When we ask if he'd be happy to return, Pine responds: "Absolutely."

I liked that it was silly and fun. That's okay and something like Dungeons and Dragons is perfect for it. That also reminds me I need to finish watching it.

It was silly and fun, but also had a lot of suttle ingame jokes. Like the DM self-insert

I missed that completely. When did it happen?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Xenk the Paladin can hear everything the PCs are saying because he's a DMPC lol. It's pretty subtle, they did a great job with the writing. Go back and watch it again keeping in mind that the DM is playing Xenk

Wow; that is subtle! Are there any other tells?

This seems like something that could only be understood after it's pointed out by the writers. Still brilliant! But really really subtle.

I mean, Xenk is perfect, knows exactly what the PCs need to know to advance the story, leads them to the correct location, and wins the fight by himself, then walks away lol

Really, go watch it again and it's so obvious you won't believe you didn't catch it first time. (I didn't either)
