Hasbro's new FAST channel called Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures launches in less than two weeks. You'll be able to access by Amazon Freevee and Plex.It will launch with three new series--the comedy stream Faster, Purple Worm! Kill! Kill!, the Forgotten Realms adventurers based on an existing podcast Encounter Party, and the cooking show Heroes’ Feast. You can check out previews of all three below.

That's unlikely, as the commercials on YouTube won't generate nearly the revenue of those on FAST.

It is more likely that places like Tubi, Pluto and Roku pick this up

I hope Pluto does. Their interface is good.

OK I just typed in "Faster Purple Worm" (one of the programmes) on Plex Search and it says the first episode is tomorrow Nov 16 and has 20 episodes.

No luck so far on Heroes Feast or Encounter Party

It was playing the D&D cartoon when I finally tracked it down. It took trying a bunch of keyword searches for me to find it. Let's just say that some, ahem, unusual things come up when you just do a search for "Dungeons."

I managed to catch a bit of Heroes Feast last night. It was alright. Started off a little rough but once they got to the actual cooking it was fine. I wonder how much they spent putting the D&D ampersand on about 75% of the cooking implements and set.

OK, looks like the endless commercials issue was the site crashing subtly. Still I’d much rather pay to remove the commercials. Oh and in demand.

Also here is an interview with Mathew Lillard.

I'm ok getting it free....but I get others don't want it. My biggest issue, as I said, is it is so hard to watch a show in order because it streams constantly.

This feels like something they're going to have to address in some fashion. Unless they're getting an astonishing amount of revenue from this deal (and if it's predicated on advertising, there's almost certainly no major guaranteed income coming their way), it certainly seems like either selling episodes directly through Amazon and iTunes would be worth doing or even just throwing it up on YouTube and getting ad revenue that way, since these seem certain to get as least as many views as the non-Hot Ones content from First We Feast.

Producing three shows that are difficult to find and hard to watch is a great way to set money on fire. And if WotC wanted to do that, they could just republish Jakandor.

I mean, every channel on FAST does this (as you know). Like, I'd love to watch Dr Who from teh beginning....but that's impossible (I think I'm repeating myself now).

Yeah, don't think this content fits the model too closely, is the thing.

I would not be at all surprised if this model simply doesn't work out the way everyone hopes it does. Plenty of internet content models don't. We'll see.

It's great for shows where continuity doesn't matter, imo. And movies. I think this is here to stay, especially as streamers raise prices.
