The Red Dragon's Interview is up!

It's a flash cartoon. You're thinking too far into it if you believe they had any goals other than "let's make something entertaining for our fans that pokes gentle fun at ourselves and others."


If you're taking D&D and flash cartoons this seriously, we are not going to find any common ground to discuss this further.

I think that depends on what you think, "act mature" means.

Last time I checked, a sense of humor was required for maturity, and the ability to self-critique - and sometimes those things go together. Mature people keep a sense of perspective and proportion most of the time.

I like D&D because it was a more serious game. Not some early version of Robot Chicken mentality.

Humor is one thing, but for those that went through the end of TSR, you would think that those actions should not be repeated in the smallest bit and have a bit more class.

Potty humor is something more for grade schoolers right?

Heh, a more serious game. Oh, you're serious. Oh. :/

D&D Serious Business.

It's one flash cartoon, with two instances of a poop joke. To me it seems that the overwhelming majority of the things WotC say about 4e is devoid of poop jokes.

And close to 100% of the game material is devoid of jokes. So unless you somehow incorporate the content of the flash cartoon in your game, I fail to see how the game itself (rules and setting) is impacted by the content of this movie.

You know that Robot Chicken is made by a bunch of 30-somethings, right? Seth Green and Matthew Senreich are both 34 years old. They are apparently mature enough to poke fun at things they like, without feeling outrage about it.

It's a flash cartoon. It's not D&D.

And I completely disagree that D&D has ever been serious business. Heck, there are very funny cartoons in the 1e DMG. Dragon magazine, too.

...and for adults who don't take themselves and their gaming too seriously.

You're obviously having the wrong type of fun.

I bet it involves tentacles.

Pretentious snobbery, now that's Classy!

Some of us adults enjoy this kind of humor (Robot Chicken ftw) and it is not your place to label our taste in humor as inferior.

If you don't enjoy it, I can understand that. I don't enjoy all forms of humor either, but I don't look down my nose at anyone who enjoys humor that I don't.

A D&D analogy: the cartoon is to immature as a paladin is to lawful stupid.

There is a 12-year-old inside each and every one of us, yearning to breathe free. The real measure of maturity is not permanently repressing the 12-year-old, but knowing when it is appropriate to let it roam free, and when not.
