This is the best idea Giant Bomb has ever had.

And they need to get Jeff in there. Not to play, but to just sit in the corner and talk shit the whole time.

This is inevitably going to make me extremely happy. Already grinning from Vinny's special "figures".

Maaaaaan, they're playing 3.5? 3.5 is so lame compared to 4th, man! I haven't looked at all about what they're doing with 5th but 4TH MAN.

They are playing Pathfinder which is a non Hasbro owned variant of 3.5 from Paizo publishing, that is outselling 4th and 4th Essentials, and might well outsell Next when it gets here.

Wait...they weren't calculating their base attack bonuses into their attacks. They should have been hitting a lot more than they were.

After watching this, I really feel like Vinny and Dave bring the heat. The other members are good too. Rorie is really good at addressing the chat while DMing. Drew and Brad make for good intro into pen and paper and Ian is good at sewing up the loose bits.

BUT MAN, without VInny and Dave, this would have been a very different stream.

This was great. Great seeing Dave, made me realize how much we've missed him on Giantbomb. Wasn't expecting to like this so much but it was a blast.

Okay, this was just an amazing stream. Can't wait for the next installment.

Might buy a starter set too, and try to get together with some friends for some vine-climbing action.

Loved it, but Jeff is missing? He's supposed to be in the corner and reflect on the game what most of us are thinking.

They should not have a guy who is an "expert" on the game there. Telling people to be classes and races poor Rory have no idea how to manage. Stick to the basics for those who are new even if it is boring for the guy who is an expert.

Awesome! I hope this becomes a regular feature, (bi)weekly maybe?

I love how they've developed the various stereotypes in less than 30 minutes :D

  • the guy who doesn't take it "serious enough",
  • the guy who knows better than the DM,
  • the munchkin,
  • the newbie ...

... and Dave who just wants to have fun.

Just an awesome feature. Never played tabletop RPG growing up, but found this strangely mesmerizing. Hope it becomes a somewhat regular feature.

One of my favorite things they've ever done. Please do part 2 next Thursday.

Jeff said they were looking into filling the schedule with live shows again, maybe this is the new TNT? And the Unplugged series could include other tabletop shit in the future.

Yeah totally, they just need him to be in the corner playing Star Trek Online and occasionally shake his head disapprovingly.

I spent $5 for this video alone. I'm only 30 minutes in and I am already satisfied with my purchase. More of this and I will literally have to subscribe permanently and for all time.

What an amazing show this was to watch live. Can't wait to rewatch it this weekend; that's how good this was.

Now to go climb some moss in the meantime!
