[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 7729757, member: 926"] The name Harmonquest seems to ring bells for me, maybe? That's the one with the pro voice actors, right? I was only able to watch the first 2, maybe 3 episodes. I was very excited at first... actual D&D play with professional actors! The DM seemed to be really on the ball, with a big book of notes, and seemed like he really had a lot of stuff planned out for the players; it seemed like it was all set to be great... but the players were more determined to be silly and ridiculous than to actually play out the game he had going, and the scenarios all devolved into goofery without ever getting anywhere, with the players wasting the whole time with things like asking inane questions of every NPC and arguing with each other over stupid things, and I soon lost interest in watching anymore. It felt to me more like a Monty Python skit parodying a game of D&D than an [I]actual[/I] game of D&D. I'll just assume/hope that things improved after I lost interest in watching. I wouldn't say I was actually insulted by it, but it did bring back those bad memories and my excitement really waned and I decided I could spend my time on better things. Like generating massive random dungeons on [url]http://donjon.bin.sh/[/url] and reading through them just for fun. That site is [I]rad.[/I] [/QUOTE]
