VIN DIESEL Just Played D&D

Back in July, actor Vin Diesel got an awesome D&D birthday cake. Last night he posted a video where he talks about his recent game of Dungeons & Dragons with the folks at The Nerdist. I don't know if the game was filmed, or if we'll ever get to see it, but even so it's great to hear that Vin had such a good time. He's starring in the movieThe Last Witchhunter (out this month), and he played a homebrew Witchhunter class in this game. In fact, director Corey Goodman said he was largely influenced by talks with Vin Diesel, specifically about his Dungeons & Dragons witch hunter character, going so far as to say "If it weren't for Vin Diesel's 'Dungeons & Dragons' character, 'The Last Witch Hunter' wouldn't exist."

I am at Nerdist and I just played a game of Dungeons & Dragons. I haven't played in so long, and it's so much fun, and the DM Matt Mercer was so cool - we had some people from Critical Role. We're here at The Nerdist. We played in conjunction to the release of The Last Witchhunter. This is so cool! OK, these are the people I played with. Watch this!

Yup! Guys, this was so much fun. Guys, these are the wonderful people that I played Dungeons & Dragons with and our DM Matt Mercer who really, really, really kicked ass. We've had Travis, we got Jessica, we just really knocked it out the part, all of us together. Dan was in there. I played a Witch Hunter, and I've gotta give credit to Matt Mercer who came up with the Wich Hunter class for today's campaign, customized it, pulled in a couple of Warlock spells, modified them for me a little bit, and we had a real blast! And I just want you guys to tell the whole world that I'm capable of rolling a couple of criticals!

Oh my god, it was so cool, and we did it together, and we did it as a team, and we really believe in each other, and we had so much.... guys, you know me, I had so much fun playing Dungeons & Dragons! [Puts on funny voice] I mean, it's been so long, and I work so hard, and I need more time for myself, and we all had great voices, too, and that's a wrap on Vinnie!

Guys, I had so much fun playing with you all. I'm gonna do it again. We're doing more. I'm joining in. I'm not kidding! I finally found my home, I've got Dungeons & Dragons players in LA! Yeah!"

Does it mean he's going to join the Critical Role party? This would be way beyond cool!

When I saw the add for the movie I thought "this is his D&D character"

I guess its good they are being open about it.

I imagine his filming schedule would make that extremely difficult, but who knows. (I don't know if Ashley Johnson would have been able to stick around in Blind Spot filmed in LA instead of NY or not.)

So that's one famous D&D player checked off the Critical Role crew's dream list. I can't remember the rest of it from their Q&A, but I know Stephen Colbert and Joss Whedon were also on there.

In the HitFix interview, he says the class was from The Arcanum (I'm assuming Bard Games's, which had a witch hunter class), not homebrew. EDIT: Ah, it was a homebrew warlock remake just in this game.

Very cool. Good to see Vin at the table.
The Critical Role crew are excellent ambassadors for the game. Matt Mercer is an exceptional DM. Watching him play has motivated me to up my game as a DM
