Yeah, Coulbert clearly hasn’t played the game for years. I’m impressed that he (or his staff) managed to get as much right as they did. The fact that they had a set of polyhedral dice on the set got me too.

After about the 10th time watching the piece, I finally cracked. I was trying to come up with a “cheat sheet” for non-gaming geeks to help them with the jokes, but I kept being confronted with Stephen’s awkwardness in pronouncing simple things.

I think the thing that set me off the most was his misreading the teleprompter regarding Tenser being a member of the “Circle of Light” when as we all know it is the “Circle of Eight.”

It is a funny piece, but as the Gamers movie show…we as an audience aren’t all that hard to please. And yes I do like that bizarre/inexpensive production.

Overall the Coulbert piece is a funny one, but my inner Greyhawk Grognard can’t take too much of it.

They do. 🙂

I’d probably play DDO if I had a PC to play it on—or if the game worked for the Mac. Or if I had time. Or… Ah, who am I kidding? 😉

I tell you what…if Don Bassingthwaite and Matt Forbeck played DDO, I’d be on in a heartbeat.

FYI, The Binding Stone had almost exactly the right amount of scurrying around Eberron, in my opinion and some of my favorite characters.

Gotta say…Geth and Burch meet in a dark alley…who wins?
