What does /tg/ think of Harmonquest? Are there other shows

If you mean shows about people playing DnD games, yeah you can find a few online. If you mean ones that are animated, I think this is the only one.

>>53951413
The animations were the most fun part.

>watching other people play RPGs live or in real time
I understand LPs, but this is a deeper level of autism than I can fathom.

It's obviously made-for-tv entertainment, so it was fine with me.

But I had never heard of Dan Harmon before this show. Did he do other RPG related stuff?

>>53951614
>I understand LP
To someone who doesn't waste time watching videos of other people playing games, I can assure you that I consider you just as much of an autistic loser as the people that watch the shit OP is talking about.

>>53951358
There are quite a few animés that feature people in DnD-type scenarios. I haven't managed to find one that isn't creepily over-sexual though.

Props to Grimgar for being a great example of low-level characters being outmatched.

>>53951595
Why would anyone treat it as anything other than an entertainment piece?

How can we get Korgoth of Barbaria renewed?

Record of Lodoss War

>>53951614
Seriously? At least with watching an RPG you know it will be unique. Watching LP's is worse because it's just the actual game you could be playing yourself, with someone talking over it.

>>53951818
>renewed
The phrase you're looking for is "picked up".

>>53951358
It had its moments. But some of the guests felt like they were there for a quick paycheck and not much else and dragged their episodes down. Some of them got really into it though and those were the best episodes.

>>53951948
>South Park, of course, had a pretty good episode that provides more insight than I can.
Oh yeah? Which one?

>>53951358
Shows about LARPing are almost always better than shows about board games

>>53951866
Agreed. The show would have been better with the first guest the whole way through.

>>53951358
Not animated but critical role is good. They have over 100 episodes now, and they are all voice acters so they get into it pretty well. YouTube at 1.25 speed though. I think they are starting to make just podcasts of their old stuff too

>>53952046

There was that dude with the gap in his teeth as well. He was awesome. I think they did a whole bit about him becoming a recurring character though.

>>53952077
Thanks!

I always feel confused about this phenomenon. How do people even end up being aware of reddit opinions? I pretty much discounted the entire site as garbage years ago because of various aspects of how the site works. Subsequently I have no fucking idea what people on reddit think about anything because I don't ever go there.

Yet I commonly see people insinuating that other are from reddit based on their tastes or opinions.

If they are themselves innocent of the crime of being a reddit user then how do they know these things? It is my belief that those who do this betray their own guilt in an attempt to deflect attention on to others. Surely if they were not guilty of this, and simply wished to express that the other had bad taste they would simply call them a faggot and state that the creator of the bad thing is a jew, as is tradition.

>>53951614
Watching comedians play D&D can be funny, who knew

Hello Tumblr.
Attractive women are so offensive, why japs are not following the example of the enlightened westerners like those behind Mass Effect Andromeda and Horizon Zero Dawn who purposefully make the female characters less attractive than the models they are based on so modern women don't feel insecure?

>>53952245
Reddit is mostly just 4chan with a 1-year delay.

>>53952245
They're people who would be caught instantly during a witch hunt for knowing far too much about witches.

>>53952342
yeah i don't get the hate towards reddit. like it's not that bad

>>53952363
Why would you do harm to those helping you to hunt witches with their knowledge about witches?

It's okay. Harmond/Fondue was the worst part of it, especially his explicitly forced character arc of becoming less of a coward and getting over his daddy issues. Davis/Boneweevil was very entertaining and McGathy/Beor was pretty good as well. The guest stars varied wildly in quality. Also we must be living in some kind of mirror universe because Chelsea Peretti was surprisingly good while Aubrey Plaza sucked big-time. Also whoever decided to up-stage Nathan Fillion by shoving Fondue's father and 'arc' into the final episode... fuck you. Just... fuck off. You wasted Nathan Fillion's charisma by giving him nothing to do or say. What's your plan for season 2, get Patrick Stewart in a non-speaking role? Have Sean Bean play a character who survives?

I didn't like the overall plot, it's extremely predetermined and there's no point where I felt the players' decisions actually changed anything. The villain shows up, gets one of the three rune-stones, gets a second one off-screen, then takes the third one from them with no way for them to stop him. When they fight him to foil his plot it's already set up so that killing him will only make him succeed, and the final boss fight was really just them wailing on it until the GM decided that the MacGuffin was ready so they could win. If I'd been a player in that campaign I would have probably quit after three sessions at most.

I'd give the show a 7/10, good animation and some nice laughs brought down by a poor plot and one guy shoving his stupid 'dramatic character arc' into an adventure that didn't need nor benefit from it.

If you liked this show, the best alternative out there would be campaign podcasts. Listen to them while you work out or commute. You'll hate 70% of them but 20% will be tolerable and you'll really enjoy the remaining 10%. I like Nerd Poker but it's not for everyone.

>>53952327
jesus christ anon you've been on /pol/ too long

I'm referring to shows like Grimgarr, where the only interactions with the female characters as of episode 3 have been about which one of the visibly underage characters has the biggest tits and one character spying on them bathing. Attractive women are fine, it's just that not all of us want a show that's the equivalent of that one creepy guy in the group.

>>53951832
cheers, I'll give it a go

>>53952245
I hear you bro

I came to 4chan in 2005 and basically parked my Internet here. I look at wiki articles that are posted on 4chan, I watch movies that I hear about on 4chan, but for the most part the only place on the Internet I ever go is 4chan.

I tried to browse r-eddit once. I was expecting a layout similar to 4chan, but that site doesn't even have any pictures, so I gave up and came back here.

Now at least once a week someone tells me to go back to red-dit or tumblr. Usually I don't even know what triggered them.

I would also like to know why sometimes 4chan thinks r.e.ddit is spam and sometimes it's OK with me posting the name.

Ah, Lodoss.
Associated series is Lodoss Chronicles of the Heroic Knight. A part sequel tv series to Record of Lodoss War. And then you have the flagship example characters for the Sword World RPG in the same setting, Louie the Rune Solider which is gag and cheesecake focused.

Do take note there are two versions of that game.
The Recorded footnotes version, and the actual version they played dark, which was some version of D and D, Likely 5e due to evasion and disadvantage being mentioned.

Eh, there's practically no delay in either direction now.

I see shit posted here 1-2 hours after it made the front page on reddit.

Of course, you still see shit from here circa 2006ish reposted on reddit all the time.

Some episodes/guests were better than others.

Episode 1 was great.
Aubry Plaza is amazing.
Dildo Baggins was more humorous then he should have been.

I'd watch Season 2 right in it's jackle-ass face.

I watch LP's to determine if I like the game or for guides on how to do better in a section. I watch general gameplays for the comedy of the video uploader. I watch RPG's for the unique moments that particular group can have. (Also some comedy usually.) Pretty much, I watch RPG's for the same reason the people you know listen to LP's. Unfortunately, I sometimes can't only listen to the video because if I'm doing something else that gets me thinking, my thoughts drown out the video and next thing I know I've missed 30 minutes of the video.

>>53958542
PS Same reason I don't listen to audiobooks and read them instead. (Also, I read faster than people talk anyway.) When I want to work on a project, I listen to music. Most of the time I don't care if I miss parts of a song due to thinking.

Also

As much as I want Aubrey Plaza to fart in my mouth, she was by far the worst guest star.

>>53961215
Is Harmon still an unfunny dick?

>>53961270
The taping was just a couple days after Trump was elected, so he was a bit on-purpose unfunny in addressing that; but he was alright during the actual show. Nothing terrible. I think it helped that he let the others (mostly Spencer, Jeff and the guests) take the reigns most of the time.

Adventure Zone?

It's... fine, I guess.

I like Dan Harmon, I like Jeff Davis, I like most of the guests, so it works for me. Then again, I think of it more as stand up than an actual session of D&D.

I like Acquisitions Incorporated and Twits and Crits though, both of them are pretty silly and not very serious, but they're more of the actual game and pretty entertaining to watch, if that's what you're after.
