D&D Monster Man

The D&D monster man! He can imitate any D&D monster! Check him out.



The Gelatinous Cube is priceless.

Although funny, there's a lot to learn here. I plan to figure out all sorts of embarrassing things I can do to improve game immersion for my next session.

Dieselboy and the Dungeon Master's Guide

In the world of Drum and Bass, Dieselboy is a king. He is a rare American excelling in a field dominated by British talent and manages to not only produce great music, but to innovate.

Resonating with we D&D nerds, Dieselboy (or DSL to his fans) created an album called "The Dungeon Master's Guide" in 2004. Enlisting none other than Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, to read the narration the album begins with this stirring piece.

"Welcome, to the Dungeon Master's Guide. Withing this reference work lie the keys to a universe bound only by limits of human creativity and imagination. It contains everything necessary to create adventures and sophisticated campaigns that blur the fine line between simulation and reality. The Dungeons Master's Guide is a complete and detailed system that will ready you for the demanding challenges that lay ahead. Listen closely and prepare to unlock the sound of pure drum and bass fantasy. This is the world of Advanced D&D."

It's how I start my weekly game.

Dieselboy, check him out here.

Dark Dungeons, the greatest D&D comic ever?

Many may remember the days when "D&D" was synonymous with "Satan Worshipper." In the tradition of McCarthyism, D&D was blamed for a lot of wrong in the 80s. Let's look now with quaint nostalgia at this fairly hysterical tract from religious comic maker, Jack Chick.



You know, I've been playing this thing for 30 years and I've never been invited to so much as the sacrifice of a goat. Either this Jack Chick guy is a little off, or I should be very offended.

Me to cultist: "I didn't want to participate in your Satanic ritual, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't appreciate an invitation at least. Honestly, have you looked at some of the guys you DID invite?"

World of Adventure

The basis of the current Red Box ads is this, the 2006 winner of the D&D Movie Competition by the same genius that brings us Dungeon Majesty.

Rainn Wilson discusses his young D&D addiction (with pictures)

Rainn Wilson discusses his hardcore D&D past, including sketches from his Jr.High notebooks. It's all tres geek chic.




I'm naming Rainn as my first "Geek of the Week" Way to go Rainn, your trophy is in the mail.

I don't whether to laugh or cry tears of joy.

Sex Goddesses Play D&D

An all girl D&D group.

No, not Dungeon Majesty (a similar experiment) but a group put together of girls. Four of them are porn stars, one is a stripper, and one is a hair dresser. The DM is also a porn star, along with being Harvard educated artist.

Yeah, it all sounds pretty weird.

Strangely, the show "I Hit It With My Axe" manages to convey mostly D&D and not porn. There is more sexual innuendo at my weekly table of dudes than occurs among these prominent sex industry workers. Porn stars make fewer sex jokes than I do, that makes me feel so dirty now.

There is an ENTIRE SERIES, nearly 3o episodes, of this. The group completely reminds me of my Jr. High D&D games. We interrupted the DM, we decided to do silly things, there was a definite sense of wonder about the whole experience which is captured nicely. Zak Smith is to be complimented on how he handles the group, his excellent imagination (even the bits he steals are imaginative), and how well he edits hours of footage to ten minutes of video. He sometimes seems painfully awkward, but his blog (also a good read, http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/ NSFW) he indicates this is deliberate, to give his players a little thinking time.

A worthy check out and an excellent series. I find myself reevaluating my game all the time. Of course, the best reason is when are you going to get a chance to see porn stars completely geek out?
