i'd love to hear them talk about NXT Dallas
Huber has mentioned the Nakamura match a few times on his streams. Loved it.
As much as I like the EZA guys... I'll prolly tune out at the wrestling part
I keep coming back to watch this ad lib:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niDr1WHPALI&t=1h34m20s

wrestling is at his lowest point in like 2 decades, so why even bother lol

Yeah, me too. Guess I need to watch season 1.
Yep, you don't need to know a single thing about D&D to enjoy Tabletop Adventures and now Tabletop Escapades. It's 100% about the amazing personalities that they give the characters and how they bring them to life.
And how they ruin Ben's plans every-single-fucking-time.

Any wrestling talk would go over my head. I'd tune it out. If they do, hopefully there'll be a link in the description so I can skip over it.
Loving Dumb Game Monday's, just catching out with the Janky Kong stream now.

Do you have to know much about D&D to play it for the first time?
I didn't watch it either (because I don't know anything about D&D) and although I love the podcast (just like I loved GT Time), I think TTE is my favorite show of theirs at this moment. Once the episode is over I want to keep going. I can't wait for the next episode to come out.
It is just fun for the story and the personalities of the EZA guys and their characters..
1 person should know the basics and they will be the DM, or Dungeon Master. I have DMed many games for first time players, so that part is not an issue.
Is it a fun as it seems for a first timer?
I wish they would stream their entire session on Twitch, instead of capturing and breaking it up. I do not know anything about strwaming, but that would be a great patron only reward. Then they can break up the stream into hour junks to post on youtube to everyone. At least on this forum, TTE is getting a lot of buzz, they should do something to capitalize on that.

Just caught up on Bens Hyper light drifter stream. Game looks great. And I vote Ben as my favorite of the solo streamers. He's got a great balance of game talk,McKay interaction and of course of topic tangents. His two streams so far have been real highlights.
Also finished up Kyles dumb game Monday stream. Hah. I think we just witnessed Smug Kyles ultimate form. Speculating his neighbors are dumb people after they watched some show, then started watching the office.....while streaming Space Chimps. At least Kyle recognized the absurdity of it.

The short answer is easy resounding yes, however there are some caveats. It is best played with a group of people you are comfortable with. This makes joking around much easier. Secondly, the DM needs to be creative. As a DM, knowing the rules is only part of the job. Ben is incredibly creative, which is why that group seems to have so much fun. You can find many different pre-made adventures that have pre-made character, so that takes a lot of the leg work out before hand. A good DM is basically a good story teller. Someone that can make you feel like you are there.
The other side of fun can be in the sandbox aspect of the game. The reason there is often a good deal of cross over between video game players and table top players is that you are in control of what you do and how you evolve. Quickly remind yourself that you can do all the things you really wanted to do in Skyrym but we're not allowed to because of the way the game was programmed. Want to walk into a bar and flip a table over and start trying to dance on it? Do it, a good DM will evolve the story around your actions.
I don't. That month long wait or so for the next chunk would kill me, but I'd have to binge anyway, because it's there.

I signed up for the D&D tier on the patreon, having never played a second of D&D before, and had a blast when did our first session last week.
I amicably disagree, but I understand why it is the way it is right now.

I remember playing tabletop with my friends when we were kids and had tons of fun. While D&D was more familiar to me from videogames at the start (Baldur's Gate 2 especially), Runequest is where we got started. I'll never forget the very first campaing in that (I think it's in the DM guide or something) where right at the beginning you get to defend yourself against a horde of angry monkeys in a barricaded house Resident Evil 4 style.
Alas I haven't had any chances to play any of em as an adult and I doubt there are any clubs and whatnot around where I live. While BG2 for example can be a masterpiece it is not true D&D/tabletop really with friends. Luckily TTA/TTE is the next best thing!

For those interested in trying D&D for the first time, I would like to make a suggestion. Go to http://dnd.wizards.com/playevents/organized-play
You can find locations near you that hold weekly D&D games. These adventures are about 1 to 2 hours and are part of a larger meta campaign that is created by Wizards. If I remember correctly, they should all be free. It could be a good place to start.

Is the second podcast no longer being done over Skype? I'm catching up on the Tetris stream from last night and Kyle mentions them driving to Ben's to record it.

I love D&D. But growing up Vampire the mascarade was our jam every Friday night. The mechanics really forced people to RP and not just dungeon crawl for more loot

A tutorial would have been really helpful, it took me a while to get a grasp of the combat in the Duscae demo. There's alot more to it than holding down a button.

I haven't watched the rest of the video yet, but I have to say that Ian's performance of "Bring Him Home" is really good.

Oh man, Bloodworth's reaction when Kyle mentions the "nerdleaks" site name is fucking priceless (I'm late to the podcast. Sorry!)
