    the boorish flow of her record regurgitation on the infamous d&d game was so painfully agonizing ….. i spent most of the time imagining what she would look like with her shirt over her head

    WRRRRROOOOONNNNGGGGG!!!!!!

    White Dwarf is the magazine of the Games Workshop, not WotC. It has nothing to do with Dungeons and Dragons. Get you facts straight Jeez.

    I remember that story where D&D was banned in some prison due to “promoting gang activity”.
    That was simply hilarious

    The Dungeons and Dragons episode of Community is something everyone should see, and should win an Emmy. It was so good.

    i played a dwarf druid named Veridis, he tries to be mature as an old dwarf but goes in the category of distracted funny (joey friends like) and his predilect form is a kapibara with snowlike magic haha

    @ModeLTU I have a good friend, who credits his involvement with D&D in prison as the main reason he did NOT get involved with any gang relates issues.

    @fockya How creative of you. No one has ever thought to use the word gay to insult people before. Three times in a row no less (with a typo the third time). Never have I seen such a unique method of insulting people in all my life. Your parents must be so proud.

    I can’t even tell you how many hours I spent playing D&D in my youth. Let’s see, 4 Sat. nights + 4 Sun. nights per month x 12 months x 10 years = virgin til 21

    Jeremy Irons = Terrible, almost comedy gold over-actor. Sadly, D&D was his crowning jewel and launched him into laughable obscurity.

    My Elf Wizard would most likely firstly be amazed by the dragon, and then hide, not run.

    Opening doors and chests is Rogue’s work btw, not for elegant casters … xD

    @mtganimemiikefan I’d say WoW is more an Everquest clone myself. D&D (the actual board game) is much much older than both, and basically laid out the “modern” rpg framework we see in popular computer mmo today. Maybe people missed my point on that WoW fanboys ALWAYS compare other mmo to WoW; old or new.

    @Milky1944 actually White Dwarf originally covered role playing games like D&D, back in the 80s. This was long before it became a Games Workshop only publication.

    I suck at D&D because I have no imagination :(
    It’s also why I can’t play minecraft alone, because I just dig and then can’t think of anything to do. Waaaaah.

    @BrutusAlbion well the setting is in our world and it gets into your mind, you start feeling you are in the game when aparently you are not. You start to convince people to do what you want and you start to feel you have powers.

    March 31, 2011 at 5:51 pm

    @BrutusAlbion Its a modern horror game and has good emphasis on roleplay over combat, at least initally, and had a neat thing of “Play the monsters” that was pretty new when it cam eout.

    That said, Vampire: the Requiem (the sorta reboot the company did) I think is a better game mecahnically and for horror. And also that either is a bit apples and oranges, as D&D and either Vampire game kind of go for completely different genres and goals.

    When the Pokémon TCG was first brought to America, it was only published by Wizards OTC for a very short time before Nintendo pulled the plug and changed publishers. This was due to the backlash from the “Conservative Right” and the associations people were making with D&D.

    I wanna play D&D with you Molly. I have the both of those 1977 Advanced Manuals shown in this video but I’ve only played a few times because I don’t have any friends who like D&D like I do.

    Wow, my sister just stopped by a gaming shop this morning and they had copies of pretty rare AD&D books and then I hop on youtube and see this video…the signs are telling me to play more D&D!

  143. JosieNoPussycats says:
    March 31, 2011 at 7:47 pm

    I love D&D so much. I’ve played with my family and family friends since I was like 8. I’m a changeling rouge which is an awesome combination and I highly recommend it if you’re DM lets you play less common races.

  149. Otakkun says:
    March 31, 2011 at 8:15 pm

    I don’t get how people say this breeds anti-social behavior. You physically need other people to play this thing. Unlike COD where you can just hop online and melt your brain. I haven’t ever played D&D, but it might be a fun way to meet new people. ^^

  150. jakalair says:
    March 31, 2011 at 8:28 pm

    I am impressed. That was a very well researched and factual representation. If you could please teach the people who do “news” on TV how to do that. I would be very appreciative.

    Are you going to SNEAK ATTACK the dakrness? :)

    When opening things like boxes or chests, I will lift the side that is furthest away from me or get behind the chest. Yeah, I’m paranoid.

    Great video.

    Now if you can just get across the message that it’s a game, and the things involved do not carry across into real life; especially not into the workplace.

        Yes, I know that I could find it if I tried. I don’t really have any time to spare on things like that anymore. I just wish that it had been as deeply ingrained into UK culture as it was into US culture. Childhood me might never have done anything else!

    @jakalair She could also give them a lesson or two about how to present.

    Seriously, compare her on this video to all the talking heads on TV, and you realize that she is so much better than 99% of them.

  209. SharpBloodyMoon says:
    April 1, 2011 at 7:20 am

    @arad7613 That’s why she isn’t on TV – they get intimidated by our beloved Molly, and that’s dangerous for her! Also, since sharing is caring, and the internet is quite a bit wider than TV(even if you watch it on a widescreen) isn’t it better like this? I mean, more people get to see her :3

  210. SharpBloodyMoon says:
    April 1, 2011 at 7:26 am

    `Oh wow, a coincidence! I also have a halfling rogue, her name’s Morgana, and she’s also good at stabbing. Just thought I’ll let you know. And, by the way, role-playing girls rule(this includes me :3)!

    P.S. Why does YT try to correct me when I write halfling? It’s racist!

  217. BrokenBjartur says:

    @jakalair

    No, see, the point of news is to get a strong emotional response. Facts don’t help with that, false accusations do! Besides, if you want facts, you should probably read more and turn off your TV.

  225. DangerRuss666 says:
    April 1, 2011 at 11:25 am

    Actually, no, RPGs drew their inspiration from Sword&Sorcery style fantasy fiction, NOT JRR Tolkien, that’s a common widespread misconception.

  230. 52766 says:
    April 1, 2011 at 11:39 am

    Hang about! But 2:31 shows White Dwarf magazine, which is (and always has been) Games Workshop, not D&D. Am I right?

  232. Dutchtablegames says:
    April 1, 2011 at 11:45 am

    @52766 I believe it was actually made for Rpg’s..,which is what warhammer started of as, if I remember correctly)

  254. conchatuya says:

    When you say: “magazine” the video shows the cover of White Dwarf. That magazine is about Warhammer, a different game.

  261. ChronicMetamorphosis says:
    April 1, 2011 at 8:39 pm

    Saying that D&D instigates depression, anti-social and immoral behavior is taking the responsibility of action away from the individual and using D&D as a scapegoat.

    If anything, it promotes rhetorical skills, critical thinking, creativity and mathematical logic.

    Who was the DM on that campaign?

  267. JoeSomebody2 says:
    April 2, 2011 at 12:59 am

    I KNOW that video in which you used the giant green d20. Titled “Player’s POV: Cheating at Dungeons and Dragons D20 dice rolls” and uploaded by wastelandtv2 (sub channel wastedmodesto). If it’s not known already, I’m a fan of their channel. ;)

    Surprisingly it’s not listed in the show credits page, but it’s the same video alright. Whatever the case, will be letting the fellows know about this ASAP. :D

  268. 2Draco39 says:
    April 2, 2011 at 1:29 am

    Don’t run away from the dragon, he will think of you as a toy instead of food!!! If he swallows you whole you may still have the chance of killing him from the inside with your stabby dagger… where did you go to school???

  272. bruenor82 says:

    and the 4th ed is oversimplified….

    White Dwarf isn’t anything to do with D&D. Although Games Workshop does owe a fair bit of what they build their games off of to D&D.

    April 4, 2011 at 9:38 pm

    The only successfull campaign I’ve even been in, we killed a white dragon and fooled a red one, not to mention killing a balor :D btw 3.5 is way better than 4 andI haven’t played any of the earlier versions (but I’d be willing, lol)

  313. Desmaad says:
    April 5, 2011 at 10:57 am

    Keep in mind, there are other games similar to D&D that are often considered better. I’m partial to GURPS, which is less genre specific than D&D and uses normal dice.

  317. TornadoCreator says:
    April 6, 2011 at 1:35 am

    Ooooh… I have to jump on you here Molly… (Oh yeah, take it baby). White Dwarf isn’t a D&D magazine, it’s a Warhammer magazine, completely different.

  319. goodyfun says:
    April 6, 2011 at 6:06 am

    Whenever I play D&D I play as a Druid so that I don’t have to kill monsters, but I can make them sleep. I’m a nice Druid. Other players always hate me! :D

  321. goodyfun says:
    April 6, 2011 at 6:09 am

    @xin0 Men are polite and often very shy of asking a woman out on a date in Japan, and women struggle to find men to be their boyfriends because of how shy they can be. What on earth are you talking about?!

  332. THX--1138 says:
    April 9, 2011 at 5:19 pm

    @ all those saying White Dwarf has nothing to do with D&D, you need to do your research. These days it’s purely Warhammer Fantasy / 40K, but when it was first released (back in the late 70s) it was a roleplaying game magazine and featured D&D.

  338. Zombiepull says:
    April 15, 2011 at 9:39 pm

    @Mumperman yea i know. but i think this is a long time ago. a now they are just for Warhammer.
    but i personaly would like some D&D infos in the white dwarf ;)

  339. Mumperman says:
    April 16, 2011 at 4:55 am

    @Zombiepull Yeah, I’d prefer to have D&D content in it too. The issue shown is from 1987, but it did have D&D content in it. Check out White Dwarf #85. White Dwarf Magazine actually did have D&D content in the early days. Now it’s just an expensive advertisement for GW product. I’m surprised, though, that they showed White Dwarf but not Dungeon Magazine. Mayhaps the Rocketboom team is showing the extant of their nerdiness?

  340. Zombiepull says:
    April 16, 2011 at 6:37 am

    @Mumperman well.. actuealy im from germany.. and the nummberartion is a little diffrent over her^^

    but i knew what you mean.. i love warhammer. but it is just to expensive. :(

  342. SerithValComnion says:
    April 28, 2011 at 7:21 am

    if anything D&D promotes being social. It promotes teamwork, creativity, and mental skills. I hate how every thinks it’s such an ‘evil’ game when it could do wonders for people who would play it. It can be a great way to relieve stress, a creative vent, and a inspiration to draw and write and have a better mind.
