I FINALLY got my parents to play D&D
Added 2023-11-22 19:24:46 +0000 UTCI kind of... can't believe this is finally done. 🫣 We filmed session zero for this game in October of 2022! Between the planning, the prep, the filming, and the editing, this represents dozens of hours of work (which I really struggled to squeeze in alongside my regular weekly workload and other projects!)
In any case, I AM SO EXCITED TO SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD!! I hope people like it! 😭 If they don't I will cry!!

I finally watched it, and it was so fun seeing you and your parents have such a fun time when you were absolutely “in your element.” And they said they’d play again… in front of the internet! lol! So happy for you!

2023-12-04 05:16:18 +0000 UTCThis was a delight to watch! I think largely because of your adorable parents and the vicarious joy of playing DnD for the first time, but also because it was fun to see you do your thing, like your parents said 😊

2023-12-01 02:38:16 +0000 UTCNo tears necessary. This is great! My favorite bits: 1: Pablo Picatso. Because Cat. And he is a gorgeous boy. I particularly love at the end, when you pull him up into your lap, and he just sits there with his legs splayed out goofily, perfectly happy because he's got Momlap. 2: Mom "Ooo"-ing and "Ahh"-ing over your prettypretty dice. 3: Your observation that mom and dad fall right into typical D&D player behaviors. D&D is psychology. 4: When mom tried to steal gold from dad. Just the total D&D-ness of it (see #3), and dad's spontaneous in-character response.

2023-11-25 00:24:08 +0000 UTCI love this video. I play with friends but the group I DM for us my wife and her parents. It was so cool to see so many similarities between this and their first ever session 😁

2023-11-23 07:43:27 +0000 UTC>"Oh! Poppa Di being a geologist explains why Ginny is a dice goblin!" until Momma Di exclaimed, "*gasp* Whoa! Look at these!" Both can be true. :)

2023-11-23 07:42:59 +0000 UTCI kinda wonder if your parents might make a return (even if only in voice-over), either as a letter from their characters or a parent or friend of one of your characters. just a thought; sorry.

2023-11-23 07:40:07 +0000 UTCThis is wonderful! Such a great video, and definitely worth the struggle to get a video out that's so You, but also deviates from your usual content! I cannot imagine the skill and presience needed to run a D&D game, with your parents, while also keeping aware of framing and sound and everything else that goes into filming a video this polished! And then you had to edit it down to 15 minutes of "the best" content! Alongside your day-to-day Youtubering!! Absolutely amazing! Thank you for making this!

2023-11-23 07:33:22 +0000 UTCI had a big smile on my face during the hole video :D

2023-11-23 05:45:03 +0000 UTCNice job, Ginny! A lot more successful than my own attempts. Also, with potential for a sequel.

2023-11-23 04:12:58 +0000 UTCThis video made me smile throughout. So far I've only played the one one-shot my parents and sister indulged me in trying. Similarly attention-wise it went about 2.5 hours and that was their game time max - especially my mom's. May turn into a Christmas-time tradition. Definitely used some Ginny Di videos in preparation of the game.

2023-11-23 03:57:39 +0000 UTCThis was so good Ginny! Well worth the wait. It felt like a reality tv show (except, ya know, good!) with the interspersed interviews. But it does leave me craving more... I thought "Oh! Poppa Di being a geologist explains why Ginny is a dice goblin!" until Momma Di exclaimed, "*gasp* Whoa! Look at these!" 😂

2023-11-23 01:08:18 +0000 UTCI like this version of the post even better! The coulours really pop! Can't wait to watch the video once I have WiFi back!

2023-11-23 00:10:53 +0000 UTCit particularly made me laugh since about an hour earlier, they had asked if using a rope would make it disappear 😂

2023-11-22 22:55:01 +0000 UTCThis was fantastic, and will be a forever memory for all. Wish I could've done this with my parents.

2023-11-22 21:42:14 +0000 UTC"I can only use it once" is both a new-player question and a pushing experienced-players question.

2023-11-22 21:21:41 +0000 UTCSuper fun video! It was delightful and I loved it. Great work on the final thumbnail for this video too, it's perfect.

2023-11-22 20:53:59 +0000 UTCThis is so cute! 😍 I love that your parents loved the game and would play again, and I love how proud they are of their daughter! Also: kittens!!! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏💚

2023-11-22 20:44:51 +0000 UTCThis is wonderful! My mother tried playing D&D with us once when we my friends and I were all boys (would have been 40 years ago, lol). She concluded it was not for her, but I'm glad she did, and we still play games like Scrabble together.

2023-11-22 19:54:19 +0000 UTCSo cute! Also, Ginny and that lady look very alike. I suspect they might be related somehow.
