Time to drive home. I don't anticipate anything will happen in the meantime.

But..it's already unplugged.

Not possible.
Meh, Rorie seemed like he prepared more this time around. It's not the smoothest game, but Giant Bomb has never really been about masterful play of anything.
As I've mentioned, the TroyHasACamera(known for Marble Hornets) guys have an ongoing DnD series that's pretty entertaining with a great DM. We're on a Quest!

This just doesn't work anymore I don't think, I loved Pathfinder and Avalon but this is a chore to watch.

Yeah, I'd agree that Pathfinder was great and less is incredibly less so. I don't think they should kill the show, they should just shift the focus to card/board games that they can play a round of in one show.

Who cares, it's D&D.
When's the next Demo Derby?

I agree with this.
I think Unplugged needs to stick with card games. While Pathfinder was pretty fun, it was more due to the guys that played it that aren't there now. Vinny and Dave carried it, and while Ian's passive-aggressive arguments with Rorie got a bit old, he was pretty knowledgeable which put less pressure on Rorie.
Stick with stuff like Avalon and Cards Against Humanity. Think Gloom would be fun to watch?

It'd be a mercy kill at this point.
I said it last time, Rorie just isn't a good enough DM to get this group through. You need someone who is completely on the ball and willing to make up whatever needs to be made up at a moment's notice.
Knowledge of the campaign isn't even as important as the ability to just keep things moving no matter what.

Home from work, has anything occurred?
Probably biding his time until he can make his next wrestling reference.
Having never played any D&D, I didn't really know what was going on and figured this was just how it always went. Then someone brought up The Adventure Zone and now I just have no desire to check out the unplugged stuff anymore. No disrespect to anyone involved, I just don't think that it's a feature worth continuing unless they want to invest more time and effort into it, which it seems like they don't. Or yeah, like you guys said, just pick smaller games that don't require as much effort to make compelling.

Drew's references are so good.
Too much rule looking. I would just say make most of it up if you don't remember.
Like, Dan wanting to chuck someone down the stairs right now. Just pick the most obvious stat, which is strength, roll, and then just let the man chuck a monster down the stairs. No need to look it all up like this exactly.

Somebody tell Dan that they are going to patch the enemy movement in Codename Steam.

So I'm guessing I made the right decision when I watched the Nintendo Direct instead of GB D&D? You guys sound displeased.

I enjoyed the pathfinder stuff because it had a bigger group dynamic with vinny and dave. This d&d thing is so boring.

Drew was downright shocked at that news about enemy turn speed up in Codename STEAM :lol

Guys, I know I'm in the minority but I'm kind of enjoying this D&D stream. I've never really played D&D which probably helps my enjoyment somewhat.
Granted, it's not as great as Avalon or Pathfinder but good nonetheless.

Don't ever listen to The Adventure Zone, then. It'll ruin Unplugged for you.
I keep getting my hopes up for each of these D&D shows and I think I need to stop getting my hopes up. Too little energy, too little storytelling, too little playfulness. D&D as nothing but a dice fighting system played dryly from one fight to the next is not much fun. If they play to a point where they get into town, maybe the conversation stuff will play better as a piece of entertainment.
If anyone was excited tonight to watch some D&D specifically (as opposed to excited about GB content specifically), may I recommend any of the Acquisitions Incorporated liveshows. They're good fun.

"You're the DM, make it up" Oh, Jason.
I have not idea what this is in reference to, but Jason is obviously correct.
