I think part of the problem was that he was teaching people to play, and it is a challenge to keep the energy high when you have to explain a rule on every roll. Apart from that, I would've allowed the player to target the door, but there would not have been any effect from the use of Darkfire. No harm, no foul... move along.The biggest issue for me was that it just didn't look fun. I'm not cappin' on Perkins' DMing skills, it's just that the video wasn't very interesting. I don't see how that is going to entice anyone to play D&D. It was basically ten minutes of opening a frozen door, and what's worse, there are the "geeky" (or what is perceived as being geeky) rules arguments that appear in the comments below - and yes, I participated in the argument. I am geek, hear me roar.Overall, not a shining moment for 4e or any PnP rpg. Perhaps those of us who feel we have fun, exciting games should post video edits of some of our encounters.</blockquote>
