D&D General Let's pitch D&D themed shows for WotC's new upcoming streaming channel

[DarkCrisis]

A show about helping hoarders. Dice hoarders.

Host: "We moved the dice mound in the bedroom out to the front lawn. We found 3 dead cats underneath. This is worst case of dice hording I've ever seen."

Gamer: "I can't choose which dice stay or go!?!?! We agreed I could keep anything I wanted! Where's my blue sparkle D20?!?! AAHHHHHH!!!!"

I would watch the heck out of this.

Also : Trade In Stars

Customer: "I have this mint condition OD&D white box set."
Host: "I don't know much about OD&D so I brought in an expert. This is Streamer X from Youtube."
X: "Eh? Not 5E? $5? IDK"
Host: "It's in good condition... best I can do is $5 cash or $10 in store credit."

1. A jeopardy-style game show that is D&D centric.

“Alex, I’ll take Things with too many Eyes for $500.”

2. A livestream of a group playing the Kickstarter Monty Python game where all the players dress as characters from the movie and use outrageous accents.

“You’re father still smells of elderberries!”

"It's an old family heirloom and we'd never want to get rid of it. So, just for insurance purposes-"

Stares hungrily at experts

"-what should we put it down as being worth?"

once your Crown Royal bag is overflowing?

Oh, you sweet summer child!

 

[Retreater]

How about a quality biopic about Gygax/Arneson and the creation of TSR/D&D?
That would get me to subscribe.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

I would tune in for re-runs of Knightmare and The Adventure Game.

If they have a budget for it, I’d actually really like a nature documentary/Steve Irwin style show talking about all the various monsters in the D&D multiverse. Imagine someone trying to get up close to an owlbear or a purple worm or a dragon, talking about the wonders of these beautiful and fascinating creatures that could easily end them in an instant if not careful.

Even better, a dramatization mini series!

Steve Irwin vs D&D monsters would be amazing. Steve is of course a Fearless Kender.

Steve: "This is the fabled Gazebo. Look at that beautiful wood work! Many adventurers have died facing one. I'm going to go over and see if I can rub it's side panels without making it angry."

Steve: I found Lich King Acerak's tomb. Rumor is that if you approach his skull he will revive and suck out your soul. I'm going to go stick my fingers in his mouth and see what happens."

Every episode ends with "And our presenter next week will be ...".

I'd pay to watch a kender die in a horrible new way every week.

I’m getting the sense that people love reality shows.

HATE THEM, and am hoping this station doesn't go that way.....

I'm not sure this channel is aimed at me, though, and those shows rake in the money.....

This I might actually watch. Like those what were dinos really like shows? Sure, I'd watch that.

I'm hoping we get fan shows made in Unreal, like we are getting for Star Wars.....or any of the good star wars fan stuff on YT.

Even better, a dramatization mini series!

I'm picturing this done in the style of the TV movie, Pirates of Silicon Valley

Somewhere in Muncie, Indiana, B.A Felton can be heard sighing

Ed Greenwood - so many details of the Realms (Ed talks about stuff for a half hour)

Three Wizards (based on the old Dragon magazine articles, with a few wizards sitting around talking)

Interviews with artists and writers and designers, either for history or How To type roundtables

Ed actually does this on Youtube. Its good stuff. Would love to see a version with some money behind it. Like images and animations of what he's talking about.
