Giant Bomb Unplugged: Pathfinder: Part 01

Starship Troopers references 30 seconds in. Good work.

@rorie Are these the long term characters? Is there a wiki entry for them? So much good fan art is gonna come out of this.

V Bomb's last hit may be the greatest thing I've ever seen, especially after all those bad rolls.

I'll keep watching these only for Dave's stories, Can't wait to hear what's gonna happen with pickle the parrot

As my first post, I'd like to join the rest of the folks who said they joined because of this video. Glad I did because the rest of the premium content is really good and characteristically funny.

this is a fun watch

@rorie was that a Nexus 5 I saw you pull out???

This was some great stuff, Vinny killed it breaking the ice with his character and I can't wait to see how everyone else will too.

this is worth all my premium money <3 <3 <3

VVVVBOMMB SMASH

I re-upped my subscription because of this video. It was worth it. Can't wait to see more.

V-Bomb <3

Gamma World would be amazing!! I get so excited whenever I see that box sitting in their office.

This feature is really cool, makes me pine for the days when I had a semi regular game going.

Good stuff. I hope they stay in character more once they all get more familiar with all the rules.

My god that was amazing. It was great that they didn't really know what they were doing, made things a lot more fun imo instead of being anal about rules and shit and so Rorie did a good job running things. Everyone was great, always good to see Dave and he was hilarious as ever and Vbomb's arm drop was the one of the best things on Giantbomb ever, I was in stitches.

Only Vinny would come up with something so retarded and awesome and it was hilarious how it worked out perfectly and killed the monster, I don't think they could have scripted a better ending to that battle. "There's not much you can do as a free move.." "I can drop an item. I'm gonna drop an item on this goblin." Leave it up to Vinny to figure out a perfect way to make use of Vbombs climbing skill and free moves, never change Vinny, Vbomb for life.

More of this!

I like to see more narrative in this type of games.

anyway, Matt this is awesome!!

Plz do more of it!

For anyone who liked this - but doesn't feel they have the time and/or group size needed to pull it off, pro tip. Check out Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. Its Pathfinder, with cards. AWESOME stuff.

@rorie This goes to all of you: die is singular (roll the six-sided die); dice is plural (look at this pound of dice!)

Die is never plural. Great show though!

@rorie Any chance we can get some scans of the character sheets up in this mess?

Can't wait for more of this. Tabletop roleplaying is so fascinating to watch. Once you all become masters at this, you should try Continuum! No one ever plays that and I desperately want to see someone try. I'm sure that's totally within your grasp after a few hours of this... Right?

This was phenomenal. Really good mix of people. Props to Ian for being so good about helping everyone out and keeping things moving. Glad to see him in more content. And it does my heart good to see Dave.

This was probably the most entertaining thing I've ever seen. MOOORE!

Hope there ist more coming. Really entertaining and fun to watch.

Vinny is the same type of player that me and my friends are. Other people say that we take too long on our turns, but when you do some crazy roundabout shit most of the time GM's will find it so hilarious or creative they let you do it. One time in a D&D scenario there was a cult worshiping some crazy extraplanar demon and were about to let it through, so I decided to have my super powerful cleric try and seal the planar gate. A few collective Will checks later and, bam crisis averted just because there's a divine spell in 3.5 that vaguely defines blocking extradimensional travel.

Remember guys, the rulebooks are guidelines. It's, like, totally okay to do dumb shit like that!

I'd recommend checking out the Nerd Poker podcast.

Nerd Poker

V-Bomb feels a lot like Brian Posehn's barbarian character (i.e. when in doubt, hit something).

Seriously I must have missed all of this because I didn't hear any nastiness at all. Friendly banter and bickering are completely different things.

I wish I had IRL friends who would actually play this with me!

Yeah, I dunno man! The nerdier-than-thou back and forth between Rorie and Ian seemed to get a little chippy to me. I think Rorie may have gotten a little butt hurt that someone was a little more knowledgeable than him in the ways of D&D/Pathfinder.

That was pretty awesome. Can't wait to see the next one.

@labman: I think it's more that Rorie felt like the game is slipping out of his hands with everyone wanting to do extra things. Still, now that I actually finished the video it gets worse to the end. But meh, no one is perfectly aloof all of the times ;).

GO TEAM PLAID!

WHERE IS PART 2 THS IS FUCKING MAGICAL.

i wish i had a group of friends like this in aus to do this stuff with :(

Please, way more of this :)

This was such a joy to watch.

I was confused, I thought this sounded dumb, I didn't understand why we needed close ups of a Nemo figure.

But this was so great!

Is there any relation between Detroit Jones and Chicago Ted?

Vinny is the best thing ever lol.

Oh my GOODNESS. Rorie and Ian have absolutely NO chemistry. Guys, people don't want to watch two dudes see who can win the battle of the pedants while constantly correcting each other.

Or maybe they do... I dunno.

I would do this but the CBSi scanning machines are bottomlessly awful and I've never really figured out how to use them. I'll see what I can do, though.

@rorie: High resolution digital photos of the characters sheets on a desk with the flash off :P

The moment I saw 'Deathstar Pez' I knew this would be great

MORE LIKE BOny kick

Vinny plays this exactly the way i would have if i played DnD style thingies.

I wold just make everything end up like 'Holy Grail'.

YES, Pathfinder! Ah man...I can already tell this is going to be comedy gold, thank you so much.

Holy christ Vinny is exactly as hilarious at this as I expected.

V-bomb dropping that arm. Oh my god... so awesome!
