Dragon Age: Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop Videos

Favicon-jpgCurious about Dragon Age?  Or what a tabletop RPG like Dragon Age or Dungeons & Dragons might look and sound like?  In case you missed it or want to show some new or potential gamer friends, here are a couple of great videos to give you a feel and flavor.

Now I roleplay more theatrically (voices, gestures, etc.) than Chris Pramas (the GM in the videos, and designer of the Dragon Age RPG) whether I DM or play D&D or play Dragon Age.  A little too light on the RP for me, though everyone of course slides a bit differently on that scale.  I get great joy out of trying to create more cinematic and memorable NPCs and monsters – not just for me, but for everyone’s entertainment!

You can definitely see how actor Sam Witwer of Being Human (watch it!) is the most comfortable RP’er of the bunch.   Then again, when he tells you more about his hobbies and gaming growing up – it all makes sense.

Even the latest D&D Next playtest packet mentions going as theatrical as you want as DMs or players.  I say GO FOR IT, RP like you mean it!  Be awesome.  Make your characters and monsters leap off the page!
