[preview] D&D with my Parents
Added 2023-11-22 00:20:21 +0000 UTCHey friends! Those of you who have been around for a while probably know I've been working on this "I ran a D&D game for my parents" concept since... 2022 😅 It's one of those things that just ended up being a bigger project than I anticipated, and also something I built up in my brain as a Big Task, which has made it really hard to work on!
In any case, I am pushing to get it out by the end of the year, because the timeline is starting to get truly ridiculous. I'm actually trying to release it THIS WEEK (although Wednesday is starting to look... overly optimistic, haha... it'll more likely be Friday) so I thought I'd share a preview. It took SO long to chop up hours and hours of footage (session zero, interviews, b-roll, and of course, the game itself!) and now I am finally putting it all into order. This is what I have all polished up so far!
Maybe your encouragement will award me a few precious molecules of serotonin to power the rest of the edit 😂

2023-11-22 07:59:01 +0000 UTCHehe, that's fun. And they seem so nice :) Never played with my parents, but think I asked them back in the 80s at some point. :)

2023-11-22 01:52:47 +0000 UTCGinny, this looks so good! In just the little taster we got here, I'm loving the idea and the format!

2023-11-22 01:37:30 +0000 UTCI’m loving this so much! I just sat here smiling the whole time I was watching lol

2023-11-22 01:11:27 +0000 UTCYour mom and dad are great! Can't wait to see the whole thing. =) I swear that cat looks like it came from The Marvels movie set. Also, got my calendar out of the mail box today! I think I might save it for Christmas to open it.
Cassie Banks
2023-11-22 01:03:33 +0000 UTCYou got this!

2023-11-22 00:58:19 +0000 UTCHa! It is a weird drink when you think about it. Try giving her an Aperol Spritz maybe?

2023-11-22 00:55:49 +0000 UTCThis is definitely a must watch when you release the full version, Ginny!

2023-11-22 00:42:20 +0000 UTCI tried my best to get my mom to drink one, but instead I just got some hilarious footage of her reacting to the taste of a mimosa, which she did NOT like 😂
Ginny Di
2023-11-22 00:40:04 +0000 UTCLove this! Also, mimosas, very smart. When I was a teenager I ran games for my parents. My dad played an elf, I think, named Floki Fairhair, and my mom played a half-elf rogue named Serendipity Thomas.

2023-11-22 00:37:55 +0000 UTCI am so excited for this video - and can only imagine the editing task with so many types of video to coordinate!
Elizabeth King
2023-11-22 00:36:16 +0000 UTCIt's looking great! Your parents seem di-lightful! 💕
Abigail Beers
2023-11-22 00:32:01 +0000 UTCYeah, the moment they picked names, my heart grew three sizes.

2023-11-22 00:31:11 +0000 UTCThis is such great inspo for my own dnd game! I always wonder how to do a session zero, so looking forward to watching how you cut it together!

2023-11-22 00:30:48 +0000 UTCThis is so awesome!! I can't wait to see the full vid 😍
Iain
2023-11-22 00:28:58 +0000 UTCOh man! Now I have something to look forward to this... Friday? Anyway, your folks are adorable and can't wait to see how (if?) they enjoy D&D.

2023-11-22 00:28:33 +0000 UTCThis is so wholesome. I’ve thought a few times about how to introduce family or friends who are just not gamers to D&D, and that last line really rings true! You just want them to have fun and figuring out how to unlock that fun, while not overwhelming or boring them with everything that the game requires, is surprisingly tricky!

2023-11-22 00:28:11 +0000 UTCOh, I am so looking forward to watching y’all’s campaign!
Shawn Brockmeier
2023-11-22 00:26:11 +0000 UTCThey’re so cute and excited! And the cuts between them talking about their characters and the explanations are 11/10, it felt like a great pace!

2023-11-22 00:25:59 +0000 UTCI play a d&d campaign with my family every week and am about to start DMing for them, so I'm super looking forward to this one!! No pressure on timeline ever though ❤️
M. Bock
2023-11-22 00:25:44 +0000 UTCYES! I have to live this vicariously because I couldn’t even get my parents to wrap their heads around Munchkin. This is going to be so much fun to watch!

2023-11-22 00:23:47 +0000 UTCWhat a great concept. I look forward to the full video!
