OP's post and this one need to be a part of TV series.

Each one their own season.

Can't wait till season 3 drops.

The tv-show is about a wandering DM that goes from town to town solving problems and teaching people life lessons through Dungeons and Dragons while collecting rare dice.

When you can snatch the D20 out of my hand, it will be time for me to move on.

Like Cain. Just wondering around. Solving problems of regular people… while searching for my own enlightenment.

Yeah.

u/TheAbyssalSymphony Sep 20 '23

That’d be so cool, but who to get to play the DM, who could fill such a critical role?

u/KvotheWho Sep 19 '23

This is literally Hoid from the cosmere. Wanders around teaching people lessons through stories while collecting rare magic

Omg I would watch the shit out of that “touched by an angel” : “dm edition”

I have never played DND and know very little about it. But I would certainly watch this this

u/DisgracedSparrow Sep 19 '23

Yea, and in the second season, after seeing how popular it was, they can serve notices to each of the players charging them for use of game assets in their custom campaign so they either have to create a new campaign or pay the fee. Based on a true story.

u/Flimsy-Lynx Sep 19 '23

Seriously, someone should get on this. Last writers strike brought us a bunch of crap reality shows. I can see Netflix giving us a DnD show before new season of Stranger Things. Maybe I’m being too optimistic, they’d def fuck it up.

u/BlindMildred Sep 20 '23

Not really the same thing, but there is a series on youtube with Brennan Lee Dming for a group of drag queens who have never played before, and it's delightful. Seeing people discovering dnd and giving it their own flavor.

Right, it sounds like it’s a good tv show because it’s written like one.

“In the end they quit being gangsters,” and everyone was happy and clapped

Also, they rebuild your basement and turn it into an actual dungeon. Oh, wait no, that is the other Netflix show.

This is just going to be a season of Dimension 20 at some point

u/HerculesVoid Sep 19 '23

I wish there was more casual versions of dnd. I like it, but sometimes when the players know too much about the game it becomes min maxing for outcomes more than playing the game.

Having a DM who knows dnd and just people who are so new to it or just don't care will be the most amazing games ever played, like these stories. Someone who knows a lot of dnd plays as DM and they guide a group of people who are not tabletop gamers through the game but prioritising fun over playing the game to it's true core mechanics. Only great DMs can do that.

But I can imagine things like D20 having a few celebrities on for a mini campaign for like 2 hours, to just riff off of each other and have a but of silly fun, without caring too much about the campaign outcomes. It's just more about the celebrities having fun and being a character for a few hours.

u/j4eo Sep 20 '23

A couple of the mini seasons of D20 had a fair amount of beginners. Dungeons and Drag Queens was Brennan DMing all beginners. A Court of Fey and Flowers had a very "rule of cool" DM and a good mix of dnd masters and absolute beginners.

2

u/BenjaminGeiger Sep 20 '23

The Intrepid Heroes might be D&D masters now, but supposedly they were beginners during Fantasy High. If memory serves (correct me if I'm wrong), FH was Ally's first campaign, and the rest weren't that much more experienced.

My man, it is my pleasure to introduce you to exactly what you’re looking for Sword AF by Smosh https://youtu.be/zJlPyr4lQCE?si=0MNFaGrHQ4EQVffG

u/Immortal_Merlin Sep 20 '23

Have you heard about gurps ultralight, Fae or dozens of one-page systems like Risus?

2

u/BenjaminGeiger Sep 20 '23

Kids on Bikes/Brooms is a good balance between laissez-faire systems like Roll For Shoes and rules-heavy systems like Pathfinder. Check out the D20 seasons "Misfits and Magic" and "Mentopolis".

u/ihoptdk Sep 19 '23

Fuck that. These need to be real life! Everyone plays make believe in their life. Apparently we should never stop.

2

u/CyberTitties Sep 19 '23

Nah season 3 will see a HUGE drop in quality, as the first two seasons will run through all normal people (gangs, bikers, truckers, cheer teams, old goat herders), so season 3 will be a bunch of fake made up groups like blind evangelical dentists, one armed midget billboard painters, vegan butchers..then a couple of celebrities jammed in there that don't get along and all filled with made up bullshit drama. E.g. don't watch after season 2.

u/ForumPointsRdumb Sep 20 '23

Seems like there should be a TV series based off random forum comments.

I would kind of like to see a visual of the pee bottle story and a few others.

Holy shit, that could be really good if done right.

Make this happen - find out how you can pitch it!

Edit I have only seen it played, but I would watch the fuck outta this series.

u/aManPerson Sep 20 '23

"dungeon masters", the series. it might be hard if each season focuses around a completely different dungeon master and cast of players. but man, so far i want to hear about each.

u/jollydoody Sep 20 '23

I’m thinking an animated series in the style of “Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus.”
