D&D 4E WotC takes a playful swipe at 4e haters On The Set of 4E the Red Dragon!

[Nail]

I liked it. The troll was a great choice for a member of the online community!

...but I really had a hard time understanding the kobold voices. Some of their lines (and thus the jokes) are unaccessible to me.

Transcripts?

The kobolds were hilarious.

"Our beloved leader..."

"WE LOVE YOU!"

Or the kobold emerging from the poop "I'm the chosen one!"

Quoted for truth. WotC and classy don't go together very well. It doesn't offend me, but it does inform me as to their attitudes and beliefs.

To quote something for truth, generally it has to be a statement of fact rather than opinion.

And on a different topic, it never fails to amaze me the lack of a sense of humor some folks have towards this hobby.

Would that represent Keith Baker then? I know that the setting I entered to the contest was pretty crappy, and he emerged from the pile...

Or the kobold emerging from the poop "I'm the chosen one!"

That's what he said, I couldn't quite make it out and I watched the cartoon like four times.

Ah, sweet self-effacing humor...

Tis a large part of the reason I enjoy playing the game so much. If I took it seriously I would probably be very afraid of the man I had become...

Awesome cartoon! Although, I'm a native English speaker (General American accent), but I couldn't make out some of the lines either, even after turning it up and listening multiple times. Too shrill, maybe? What I could hear was hilarious, though. I'd love a still-frame printable .pdf version of each comic though; I wouldn't have to worry about missing the jokes! (Also, does anyone else usually have some kind of buffering issues with these videos?)

I do hope they continue with this series for quite a while! Also, I think it'd be cool if DDI started hosting OotS, or more D&D/PennyArcade tie-ins.

Finally, did anyone else notice the credits? The kobold voices were mostly (all?) D&D staffers, I think. (...Digitally altered, I hope.)

You know the old saying: D&D - Serious Business.
Maybe it's because sometimes humour holds a certain... truth that we don't like about ourselves? I certainly hope I am not the kind of f4nboy that would take any crap from WotC. But the "fear" that this might be true won't stop me from laughing about the video, or myself.

Of course, I think I still prefer the previous videos. But I love the fact that they haven't stop doing them!

Loved it.
