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!"

This looks awesome, cant wait to watch the video.

Thats cool that Mercer made him a customized Witch Hunter class, if I had to guess it would be to the warlock what the ranger is to the druid and the paladin is to the cleric, a combat focused warrior/warlock hybrid.

Wouldn't be the first time for Matt. One of the regulars is a gunslinger, which is a fighter archetype they made based on the Pathfinder class.

The only thing I took from this is "how do I get attractive ladies to play DnD with me?"
Those girls are indeed very pretty. I'd venture to say the most attractive I've ever seen regularly play a pen and paper RPG (including house games, conventions, and a highly trafficked FLGS).

The boys are pretty as well. Perhaps prettier than at most games. I think to work in the film/entertainment industry it helps to have a high charisma?
The girls in shot are players in critical role and are wives and girlfriends of some of the other players.

In addition to being easy on the eyes, all the Critical Role players (see what I did there?) are voice actors of top caliber. When I saw the Youtube video that showcased all the roles Laura Bailey has performed over the years it floored me what a freakin' chameleon she is. Absolutely amazing.

I can't wait to see that video, because one thing that struck me about this vidpost is the sheer joy in his voice - it's fun watching someone with that much enthusiasm for a project. I was going to give Last Witch Hunter a pass, but I might give it a try, just to support "Old Vinnie." :)

(yeah, I know that's what he wants, and I'm ok with it. :))

Given Critical Role, and long term posters Barsoomcore (of D&D with Stewardesses fame) and Zak S (or D&D with Porn Stars fame) the answer is clearly "marry or date one." :)

I got a few of my current players to play the game because of Vin Diesel. “I can't be a stupid kiddy game if Vin Diesel plays it, right?!“
