Jul 16, 2010 10:37:51 Hey guys.
First off, I'm not going to lie; I made this video.
It's just a silly short about how D&D is still, for some reason, something that has to remain "in the closet."
There are still some people that, when I tell them that I ritually play D&D (1 or twice a week, rain or shine), they seem weirded out or respond with a "But you kind of have social skills."

This behavoir inspired this little vid:

Let me know what you think. I plan on making more funnies!

Jul 16, 2010 12:07:04 Things that only inspire a 'meh' reaction in people typically fail to motivate them enough to click a button. The only reason I bothered to post was that I was sufficiently bored and felt my fingers could use a non x rated work out for a change.

Jul 16, 2010 21:24:13 I could help but think of the game mechanics every time they were mentioned. For instance when he said critical hit at the end he was oviously refering to his attack on the demon lord, only the Vorpal weapon ability would behead most demons in one hit (and it only activates on a critical hit).
