Cool Flash ad promoting D&D from WotC

[Imperialus]

Right on. I really missed the highlight of the evening: "You rolled a natural one, jane! You know what that means: DROP THE TOP!"

*shudders* my sister is in my gaming group

 

[Nightfall]

Yeah dude, not cool. Every gamer chick is SOMEONE"s sister, daughter, mom, etc.

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Every gamer chick is SOMEONE"s sister, daughter, mom, etc.

And other girls/women aren't?

 

[Nightfall]

No...just that I doubt if you told them 'You failed you will save! Take off your top!" they'd do it. Erm maybe.

 

[Kae'Yoss]

But I swear the first thing I thought of as the rogue dispatched Fluffy was "Isn't that a sneak attack, not a backstab? Backstab is so 2nd edition...".
Clearly I am not the target audience here.

Hee hee, I noticed that one, too, but since they weren't using game terms (not something you'd want in an ad), I let it slide.

Actually, when the DM said that the demon was bad, I waited for him to say: "...and he takes you all with him!" It was a Balor mini on the table, after all.

You just have to get them drunk enough

You're just not gaming with the right chicks.

 

[Nightfall]

Apparently so.

 

[ThirdWizard]

Now, if they'd just intercut it with a little animation/live action of the story itself, so people watching could capture the imagination/cinematic experience, it might offset the dorkiness a bit.

That would be The Gamers! I still need to show that movie to my group.
"I wanna steal his pants." XD Classic.

Too bad they didn't consider throwing a girl in that group, though.

I liked the "token" black guy. At least he cast Haste on the party.

I also agree they should have promoted the D&D soundtrack, small MP3 snippets would have been cool.
