When is the next ep up and running

Great! Love that tabletop is back and really like the name Tabletop Escapades. The new world seems cool too and I like that it is a more grounded and rich setting. Can't wait for more.

In celebration of the return I did this one: <a href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/exoQ3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.artstation.com/artwork/exoQ3</a> Love you guys being back!

Mokiki

Ah, this lived up to all of my hopes! For about 17 seconds I was sad that this isn't taking place in the same universe as the old show, but you're 100% right. A world without Mecha-Hogger can have lower stakes and more realism and be great. A+++ Ben and all!

Connor Rosine

This is my first time watching D&amp;D, and I cannot wait for the next episode. So excited.

Roll20.net, the site that Ben is using to display the characters at the bottom there, can be used to play D&amp;D online. I haven't used it to play with strangers myself, but it totally can be done. I think there's even a looking for group section of the website.

Ben you're a cool guy and I appreciate the thought you put into things. I'm looking forward to "Ben's Lore Corner" and the new podcast!

Huzzah for more hot D&amp;D action! It's been way too long with out it. I'm just going to smush all of my observations into a single comment, sorry about the length. -The title card kind of reminds me of something to do with Demon's Souls, maybe the loading screen or something. -I'm willing to bet a thesaurus was consulted when picking the new name :) -Really digging all this new lore and worldbuilding. It's a shame the old game couldn't be incorporated, but sometimes you need to make a clean break. -Ben, have you ever heard of a website called Obsidian Portal? It's a site dedicated to managing D&amp;D campaigns. You can set up a wiki, keep track of NPCs, as well as have summaries for each session. I've used it a few times and it's pretty fantastic. -Ian just has to be an elf every time doesn't he? -Law seems much more chill than Hogger. Let's see how long that lasts for. -Good to know Emperor Dread is a super cool dude, never judge a book by it's cover I guess. -Kyle's character kind of reminds me of Rincewind from Discworld. -”Yo, I'm a monk from China.” -It's awesome to have Brad on the crew, no D&amp;D party is complete without a rogue. -Man, Law is swol. -I wonder what everyone's subclasses are going to be. Have you got them picked out already or are you going to decide on the fly? -Lars we hardly knew ye. -Roll20 is a pretty great site for playing D&amp;D online. Very convenient if you're group can't all be in the same place at the same time. -Kyle, I noticed you made some spell cards, did you know there are several smart phone apps that have all of the spell descriptions and even let you make your own custom spell lists? I use one just called 5th Edition Spellbook for my games, it works wonderfully. -I am legitimately shocked that you guys managed to make it through an entire session without Huber yelling “I AM THE LAW!” I'd wager we won't make it through the next one without it though. Fantastic first episode guys! First sessions are usually exposition and character introductions so I'm not too bummed we didn't get to the actual game until right at the end. Way to end it on a cliffhanger.

i lost it at "yo im a monk from China."

Love it! "Chinese" monk Law, Therese and her entity, Nakadir the fool (reminds me of Neebs from Doraleous and associates) and ofcourse Yogala the Wizard embark on their epic journey. I am a huge RPG (JRPG) fan so I like to play as many games from this genre as I can and fantasy is just my kind of thing so this is awesome to watch. However this Dungeons and Dragons is only known to me from hearing the name, I don't know any more of it so it might be confusing, it's not something people play in my country, it's not really popular (Belgium by the way) so I hope I will understand more of it in the future. Lastly, can something like this be played online with strangers? Seems cool to me to make up your own story, play with strangers and see what happens.

I think Ian was checking me out the whole time.

Isaac King

Amazing world building and cast of characters! God Phallus just made me lmao. I was doubting my self until Ian asked Ben if that was the name.

Rui Fidalgo

Just got the time to watch this. Holy mother of god, I missed this show so much. It was BY FAR my favorite part of GT. This episode already just had me rolling around on my couch, laughing like a maniac, clutching my side. Man, I LOVE THIS SERIES!

So will all episodes be one hour long?

This is the shit! I love it so much. Ben you are a mastermind and I loved your solid acting. You just saw the guilt in Ian´s eyes when you acted as Lars. I cannot wait to see more of it! Tabletop adventures and the Podcast alone are worth my 5 bucks! To the rest of the group! DO NOT FUCK THIS UP, think about each others traits before doing combat actions. I am so hyped right now!

Personally thought he was mainly inspired by Pillars of Eternity. Think it's presumptuous to say you know the mind of the author =P

Eóin Dooley

Huber you are a MANIAC.

I have never watched Tabletop Adventures, but this is fun as hell!

Krauser_05

Love all the characters and love the world. So hyped for this series!

Henk Groenendijk

Really like the setup for this campaign. Only real concern is the length of the episode. In D&amp;D some combat instances alone can take close to an hour. Just curious if you had time restraints for the first episode or if we should expect hour long episodes going forward. Oh, and also love the idea of Ben's Lore Corner.

Magnificent episode! One question though: Are you shooting a few hours of tabletop and upload an hour per week (like some requested when you did tabletop adventures) or are you still shooting and uploading an hour per week (with occasional breaks...) ?

Stellar job guys, truly enjoyed that. Also, thank you for the long intro, not only is context super important for depth, but treating the audience with proper respect was welcoming. Looking forward to next week!

Steven

Lol the "World" is a total ripoff of A Song of Ice and Fire. The two continents are basically Westeros and Essos and "the Flaming Sea" sounds a lot like "The Smoking Sea" from GRRM's books. The prominent role of dragons and Warlocks from a distant land is clearly inspired by A Song of Ice and Fire. Don't get me wrong this all sounds awesome, but Ben should have been a bit more upfront with how much he borrowed from the Game of Thrones universe :)

Casper Andersen

Great world setup Ben, you really poured your soul into this and it shows. I REALLY missed having a map (doesn't need to be fancy, any old hand drawn map will do) to visualize where the cities and continents and kingdoms are positioned. The characters are also good, I love how Huber went from "Monk from China" to actually developing a full background, totally hype. Group composition might limit the type of encounters you can face though, there's no one really who can play a "tough tank" role and Ben might have to throw in an NPC just to keep the group going. Also, you're all moderately weak except for Law, so expect people to die. Imagine playing FF IV without Cecil and Kain. Yeah, that weak... I kinda liked Ian's backstory, but I feel Ben didn't allow him to be a half-elf so he made a half-assed elf instead? :) Anyway, great stuff guys, keep it coming, and if you ever get a second camera, would love to see the actual tabletop ;)

this is exactly why i pay for your content. love oozes from this show. thank you Ben!

Chris

I know nothing about pen and paper RPGs, and I felt a little awkward the first time they role played, but after a bit I kinda got into it. No idea really how the game works but I'm intrigued in the story and how the game unfolds. Surprisingly entertaining to watch even for not knowing anything about what's happening.

M I K E Y M O

Is there going to be a Podcast version of this, like there was for TTA?

I've really missed this show. This beats TV.

Daniel Ray

Good stuff

cnote51

I am digging the overworld Ben, every character you guys created has its own unique life that represent your personality well. This should be made into an anime with high production value except with the scenes featuring Kyles character. Also in the scene where Law describes his past, the flash back should show the silhouette of China lol man you guys gave me too much to laugh about. Awesome show can't wait for the next episode!

Rken Blade

I loved everything about this episode. This quest is going to be the thing of legends.

Aaaaw I was expecting Table Top Sexcapades!!!!

I have waited so long for this

My dick is getting hard just looking at this post

havik

So excited this is back! First episode was beautiful, only wish it was a tad longer instead of that cliffhanger. Watched some Critical Role in the interim when you guys weren't around, and I think the way they end their games more organically after the current encounter is resolved works well, so if that would work with everyone's scheduling maybe it's something to consider rather than having a strict one hour show every week. Regardless, can't wait for next week's show and tomorrow for Ben's Cylinder of Lore.

MBUN

Awesome

Jeff Robertson

This is a really cool idea

I second this notion.

Loved the first episode Ben! Great setup!

Dizcrowell

Great first episode! I am getting GoT vibes from Ben's setting but that is good with me. I think it would be helpful if we could get something showing the bio of each party member so we can know them better.

Thanks Ben, loved the first episode. May I suggest a late name-change to "Tabletop Mis-Adventures"

Oh man. This series is going to be so good!

I'm very happy you're trying to take this more seriously. I stopped watching TA because the players started breaking the game. And while it can be fun, I would really like to see everyone take the role play part a bit more seriously. I'm sure you're just working things out but when you know you're going to have a more talky ep I'd love to see Brandon or Bloodworth come in to role play a one off NPC.

Stardrifter

Seconded

I can feel it, the start of something great.

Ben, you should totally set up that wiki to help the fans collecting all the stuff disclosed so far regarding the world, background story, chracters etc. It would make following and digesting everything so much easier. I am pretty sure a lot of patrons/allies would be happy to register for the wiki and help to keep track of the whole adventure by basically penning down everything that happened or was said, maybe adding some of their fan art to illustrate stuff etc. You'd just have to "curate" our contributions a little and make sure everything fits. Maybe you could post your "preface" to the adventure (I mean the stuff you read out at the beginning) to get it all started ... and maybe make sure Huber's account is firmly locked to "read only" rights, so him coming up with new stuff that completely twists everything upside down kind of remains limited to the show itself ... xD

Camian

extremely looking forward to the next episodes! wish they could be longer.

Backlog Crusader

Kyle's favorite episode; it's got context. Awesome stuff guys, really hyped for the adventure!!!

Mumble Mumbleton

This was Awesome Ben! Amazing work with the story. Can't wait for episode 2!

First time watching you guys do D&amp;D. I missed the train on TTA, this time I'm along for the ride.

Ian, he was several weeks sober! How could you!

Fantastic episode - the world and characters have been set up brilliantly. Couldn't be happier with my investment 👍

Adam Mullany

Will this show also be made available in audio/podcast form? Loved the Defy-Media-Predecessor-which-shall-not-be-named, and especially appreciated being able to listen to it on the go.

Love how Huber is still doing Hoger like things; almost forgetting that his character is the complete opposite. "I grab it, immediately. But gently! Very gently." Hilarious. Most excited to see Brad in D&amp;D. Interested to see how the dynamic of the group with change with his input. Solid beginning. Can't wait for the journey ahead.

Just listening now and up to the introductions. Huber handing out titles (emperor, prince) is hilarious xD

Andrew Chalmers

This looks very promising. Even if we didn't get much the interaction people had with Lars suggested we're going to get some good character dialogue. I'd love if we could get a longer episode though, even a half-hour more would be great.

Eóin Dooley

Great Job guys, looking forward to the next installment!!!

Love the show Ben! Characters are wonderful and I especially love Bosman's backstory. Please don't be afraid to make these episodes as long as possible! The more content the better:)

Garrett Walker

"Yo, I'm a Monk from China."

Jason Walstrom

Kyle got a little lippy with Ian towards the end.

Juan Morales

I love the new show Ben. I especially like the legend you created about the dragon war. Also great to see Huber is still as enthusiastic as before.

Nice wprk guys, honestly wan't a fan of tabletop cause i got to it late, but i feel i can tag along this ride now!!

LiquidEnder

Ben! Great job with the world building! Really dig it! I' m not a D&amp;D person, but Pillars of Eternity has helped me understand the concept and ease me into it. Can't wait to see what happens =)

yes

Oh, yes. I cannot wait to get lost in this :)

Yes please. I'd love for it to go up on iTunes as well.

Great episode! The original was one of my most favorite things ever. I cannot wait till next week!

TheClassiestHobo

Fantastic first episode guys! Looking forward to next week!

Can this audio be put up on the SoundCloud RSS please?

Man this was so good. The best dnd show I've ever seen. Great job guys and an even greater job to Ben. Amazing world building.

Haven't watched the episode yet but I love the sound of a lore post. Can't wait Ben.

Tim O'Keeffe

Can't wait for Lore Corner! More Ben content is always a good thing.

Tygre

I'm so glad DnD is back! Even with all the exposition this was a great start to the show! I hope that in the future you'll be able to do even longer episodes though so you can really get into it! Also who made the theme tune? I love it.

Olf Himself

Looking forward to watching and reading this. I don't have the ability to play myself, watching this group is nearly as good!

Dis gun be good

Dude dude dude dude it's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Woooooooooooo this is better than final fantasy xv

Eduardo

Was that a Dragon Lance reference?!?

Damn Ben, I'm not really into DnD, but your world building ... fantastic. Mother fucking Red dragons get rekt! Emerald Dragons ftw! #yaburnt #seaofflames -edit- "Mother Fucking Red Dragons get rekt!" Should totally be a shirt.

Is it possible to get, like, a cliff notes version of the world and lore? Just as a prepper for Ben's Lore Corner where he can go into super deep depth on everything

Carlos Lopez

haven't started watching it, but from only reading the fact that there is going to be a "ben's lore corner" on every thursday makes me incredibly happy

Backlog Crusader

Love this so much. I hope this will be added as a podcast as well? Audio version is my preferred way to consume this.

This is deeeeeeeeep!!! :-) I need to get my own notebook for this! xD

This makes the remainder of my work day even more unbearable. 5 o'clock can't come fast enough.

It's good you chose to start over, Ben. I hate to admit that I got lost ib the firt season, and had to give up altogether... PS. that time I said you were being a tight ass haunts me to this day ... Keep up the good work, laddies!

Tabletop is back! Huzzah!

Garrett Fox

I am really going to enjoy lore corner

Dale Payne

Great!

Hurray!

I just soiled my undergarments

Thore Dørup

Chris Martinez

Brian Cecchinato

Nicolas

Brian Cecchinato

Brian Cecchinato

Lore Corner HYPE!

I'm so hyped for your Posts and the return of Tabletop, lets do this!

Yes! Love the addition of the Lore Corner.

I am so happy! Thanks Ben!

Garrett Walker
