That's a pretty awesome allstar cast of players. I'm jealous of his scenery budget too, I'll say that much.

...I can already imagine Vince Vaughn being a "That's what my character would do!" player.

 

[Eyes of Nine]

That feeling at 2:15 when your player is on his phone, and you're like "oh great, is he zoning out on us here?" and then you learn he's trying to figure out how many hp a dragon has...

What I love about this piece is that if you take away the famous names, it sounds like just about any group of dorks talking about their weekly D&D game . . . because that's what it is.

I also found it heartening to not only hear how excited the players are to be a part of Joe's group, but how they view it as stress relief from life.

It does sound like Joe is developing the "good DM" problem . . . where word-of-mouth is getting all sorts of folks to ask if they can join, and you've only got so much room at the table . . . . but you don't want to say "no" to anybody . . . .

And Tom!

This is totally awesome, but needs more ladies.

This is totally awesome, but needs more ladies.

Why?

 

[Seramus]

Why?

I like representation. Joe makes it clear that some of his players are in the game because of who they are.

 

[GMMichael]

This is totally awesome, but needs more ladies.

Pretty sure this is where those guys go to get away from the ladies.

And can we all safely bet that Tom Morello is playing a barbarian?
