I have come accross that amazing video with Vin Diesel playing D&D. The DM is EXCELLENT (with well deserved capitals) and the team is fun.

Highlights


I enjoyed it a lot and wanted to share for people who are into D&D or want to see what a real table D&D looks like.

I've seen it. One of the reasons I think the new D&D movie (if it actually gets made) absolutely has to cast Vin Diesel. Although in a way it already happened- he's playing the same character here, name and all, as he did in the Witch Hunter movie :D

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I never got the chance to play pen & paper D&D.

Yeah, that was some pretty awesome DMing.

That's actually a one-shot from a Geek & Sundry show called Critical Role.
I haven't watched that one yet (I'm trying to watch all the episodes in order, and even though it's a [presumably unrelated] one-shot standalone adventure, I presume there might be references to things that have occurred in the main campaign).
But according to the info on this page, the DM -- along with a couple of the players -- is from the main Critical Role Twitch series.

There are well over a hundred episodes to go through, so if you liked the DM (or Travis, or Laura), you've got your new show to binge on for the next several months or more. :) (I discovered the show sometime this summer, I think, and I'm only about twenty-five episodes in so far...though, to be honest, I've kind of burned out on it a bit.)

Pro tip: The first episode has an unlisted alternate version available from the official site's episode page. This version, unlike the official one that is searchable on YouTube, doesn't have the fan-art used in the intros blurred out. (The blurring is not present in later episodes, but by that point, you'll probably be skipping past the intros anyway. ;) ) Probably because it was done in part as a promotion for the movie -- though Diesel's love for D&D is pretty well-known, so I'm sure he personally also liked promoting the (at the time) still quite new edition.

Thanks alot for that information. I saved the link and looking forward watching from the start.

I have found the most insane (in a good way) Critical Role D&D session ever:

https://geekandsundry.com/critical-rejects-relinquish-their-dignity-for-extra-life/

Take a not-very-serious session, and then give community Twitch chat members the ability to dictate new things that happen in-game (by donating $500 -- this session was a charity fundraiser). Hilarious chaos ensues.

(Be aware that, while it's not a main episode of the series, it IS a follow-up to the session played in this earlier side episode [which, for some reason, is numbered as part of the main series despite also having nothing to do with that campaign], and makes slightly more sense having seen that; also, it inevitably features some callbacks to characters and occurrences in the DM's main Critical Role campaign, but nothing that would actually require watching the relevant episodes.)
