FULL Chris Perkins UK Adventure - Celebrity D&D Game from 2010
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Chris Perkins teams up with the British crew of Ian Livingstone (co-founder of Games Workshop), Graham Linehan (comedy writer), Marty Jopson (presenter), Louise Champion (Orcs Nest Games) and Paul Moore (Patriot Games) to run a 4th edition adventure. Prepare for action, adventure, and lots of dry comedy.
Besides splicing the videos together, I spent a lot of time tweaking the audio volume so the laughter wasn't too loud to cause distortion, and you could hear the people who'd speak softly. Let me know how well it worked.
• Chris Perkins UK Adven...
The Original Part One of the Wizards of the Coast video.

I always appreciate when an uploader works on the audio, making it to where the soft audio is loud enough to hear without making the loud parts blow your ear drums. That is characteristic of a good uploader.
It's done using an audio tool called a depresser.
Chris Perkins is an amazing DM! He really comes alive depending on the group he's running.
Never played DnD before and didn't know anything about it really. Thought I'd watch this and see what it's all about. Looks like it could be a lot of fun. Especially with close friends and maybe a few beers.
That is exactly the way to play. Haha.
D&D was my main past time when i was a kid, i loved playing it and now that i am older and somewhat wiser i still love the game.
It's fun with 6 people and if you have a lot of time
the good part about the game is theres no doing it wrong as long as everyone has fun
If youre going to play D and D, you HAVE to have imagination and maybe just a little bit of an inner child. Its all up to you, but it is indeed a lot of fun. For me, the most fun I can have is doing crazy shit or thinking way outside the box in order to survive a scenario. Remember, D and D often doesn't have limits.
This is delightful. If you're tripped up about anything while trying to learn how to DM or about the rules of D&D in general, watching this will certainly help whilst maintaining your interest by being generally entertaining.
Great video -- keep them coming.
I could happily sleep, listening to Chris talking XD He's just got a great voice.
Thanks for your volume control and editing!
No problem, it's one of the things I could add to the video :)
I'm an old 1st edition AD&D DM, and we'd start playing at 8am, teak breaks every 2 hours, eat lunch while we played, and a couple times ordered in pizza for dinner and played while we ate dinner. 12 hours minimum play time, or we felt cheated. During summer vacation we would have week long campaigns, 16 hours a day (including breaks).
Citizen Brain we'd star Friday night, and finish Sunday evening. Same kind of thing...
ok boomer
Gotta love Chris Perkins' DM'ing. So far from every video I've watched where he is the DM, the players are laughing about 70% of the time and are incredibly engaged in the game. I love it. It must be so rewarding for him to see everyone having fun, thanks to his story telling. +2 To awesomeness.
This is one of my favorite sessions that Chris Perkins ran with 4th edition, second only to the Robot Chicken one. I like the the players in this -- they are fun to listen to. I also like how Chris Perkins used the map in the Red Box as a basis for a new adventure. He has a way of making a spectacle out of a game by putting the map down with minis on it and then acting out the non-player characters and monsters -- I think that is what he does better than any of the other WOTC DMs I've seen, the spectacle of the game. I am not sure that I like having all the different kinds of monsters in the dungeon -- the more different ones there are that work independently and without really having a reason to interact with each other, the less "realistic" it seems to me. (You go in this room and there is a Gnoll with a Scorpion, and thin the next there is a Gelatinous Cube, and in the next something else makes less sense to me and you really have to work to tie it all in, although he does a fair job of it minus the monsters playing cards and the Gelatinous Cube)…The other problem I have with 4th edition is that the encounters seem to last too long. This is not too bad, but I think it would be more interesting if they took less time and you could get on interacting with the environment you are in more…But I really like watching this game!
Here's a game we can all play while watching this:
Everyone take a shot everytime Chris Perkins says, "ascertain"
Love these DnD Celebrity games. And Chris Perkins is the man!
These uploads help start my journey I can’t thank you enough man
I wish I had access to a DM/GM like Chris Perkins. He's amazing!
41:15 " I'd like to apply my mace to his head "
I have never played DnD but i am becoming more and more interested in it, but one thing is clear after the first 2 minutes, i would be so god damn sassy and sarcastic
torazn Go for it :)
It's not really distortion.. the audio balance in the original episodes was terrible, I think they only had one mic, so the people in the back were very soft, while Chris was very loud. I manually went through and tweaked the audio volume as often as needed to you could hear people, sometimes several times in a second. The background noise will spike sometimes, but at least you can hear everyone's voice. I need to learn some funkier audio editing programs.
Chris Perkins is the epitome of what a DM should be. Masterful, voice, improvisation, everything. And all the players are so intensely in character. All their British accents makes it seem so legit. Dream game. I would kill to play in a game like this. Wow!
These are the most sedate pcs I've ever seen. They formulate a plan and then just sit back and quietly wait. Most of the groups I've played with are nonstop plan, revise, plan some more, rerevise, execute.
Force your group of friends to play D&D and you'll be surprised who actually stays! Hahahaha
Thank you BlackfootFerret for putting the full versions together of all this dnd live play stuff. It really helps to just have it all in one video and I really appreciate the efforts you've gone to making sure it plays well without interruption.
I would love to play this, none of my friends do though :/
Roll20.net is a great online site built for playing D&D and other tabletop roleplaying games that also allows you to build your own dungeons and adventures all right on the site.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
1) Find a group in a gaming store
2) ???
3) Profit
KrateKarrot I don't know about the US but in England you can go to a comic or games store (even a bookshop) put an advert up behind the counter (or they might have a board) saying something like "novice looking for a D&D Game" with your number. Sometimes you might join a game that's not for you. For example, I've dropped out of 2 campaigns; 1st was a group who did nothing but roll dice and argue about who could get the most, do the most etc. (this is 'powergaming) 2nd was a collective who were just up for a laugh; endless jokes with 21stC references, people laughing at their own endless quips and so on.
You need atmosphere, levity and people with imagination. I hope you get as many years enjoyment as we have! Good luck!
Goat Gruff Thanks, I actually told a few of my friends about D&D and were planning on playing a game on sunday. Can't wait!
Devin Townsend is a Dungeon Master?!
Indeed
This is D&D 4th edition. There are a lot of simplifications, the Move Minor Standard trio of actions, At-will powers, Encounter Powers, and Daily powers sort of give the memorized spell functionality to ALL classes. Moving Diagonally is one space. 4th edition was simplified for casual gamers, 5th edition is promising to be more old-school and hardcore.
BlackfootFerret I’m sure you’ve played 5e now and have realized how wrong you were. How anyone can call 4e ‘simplified’ is beyond me.

So much fun to watch! :)
I like it when they play without a freaking audience A lot more watchable this way
thanks for sorting the audio out
The Persuasive Khaajiiti I have much better tools to work with today, but I'm glad these old videos are still watchable 😁
That's good to hear, but yes any videos with Chris Perkins are always great
Chris Perkins is my hero.
After running games for 21 years, it was very interesting to watch. Most of my games are high level thies days thou!
You know.......sometimes I wish the party I'm in was this quiet
Been watching all these shows (Acquisitions Inc, Robot Chicken and now this) and I'd just like to say thank you sir for the editing work you made and for providing us with some pretty awesome DnD games in full videos.
I hope. I'm having a huge amount of fun listening to the games while I do other things. Thanks for compiling them.
I'd love to watch a 2nd edition adventure like this! (Well, love to participate). It's hard to find players where I live, and I inherited my fathers 2nd E rulebooks and adventures and whatnot. No idea what how it works though (except some rules from the Players Handbook) I also made a promise to my little brother I'd teach him so this video is GOLD! If I find a group like this and a Dungeon Master like this, I'll call a cab for him!
If you want to watch some 2e go to itmejp's channel he does a (mostly) weekly campaign with some friends in 2e. Its been up for over a year and each session is 4 hours. Its where i learned how to play.
Ammar Lalji
Worth noting that is heavily home-brewed i.e. rules have been changed by the DM.
Jonathan Nordin roll20.net
Good Lord, this is damnably enjoyable!
hes such a good DM :p
I thought I was nerdy...
Really enjoyed watching this. I've been playing d&d attack wing and decided to learn the board game version. Watching this has made me very excited can't wait to try it out.
The D&D Character Builder (haven't used it in about a year), part of the D&D Insider account, would print your powers as cards you could cut out and use for games. Some people made sturdier real-card cards with generics about each power, but the Character Builder would actually list your currently equipped weapons and give the attack/damage bonus for each one, using that power.
The offline version of the Character Builder is still available if you ask nicely.
4th ed. starter set does come with cards, dice, map and a campaign. I think this video is meant to show of how much fun you can have with only this cheap set and limited experience. The plastic figures and abundance of dice are probably courtesy of Chris Perkins. The set comes with cardboard creatures and one set of dice.
I restarted playing D&D recently. Introduced the kids to it. We managed three adventures so far, each one two hours longer than the next so the upcoming one should be 8hours 🤔
D&D is a great social game that inspires creativity in storytelling :) I love seeing how many more live RP groups are around today, after these early sessions kicked it off.
this was a lot of fun xD
Chris Perkins Rocks !!
thanks a lot for the effort you've put into this video. I really appreciate it, you've done a really good job of it.
D&D should have a store were you can just go in an play, you and our friends pay a fee and the campaign is made and you have a dungeon master with all the options you just go and play
Dtrollmancan like TSR did?
agree with you BlackfootFerret. It is clear that Chris is introducing D&D to new players. When doing so it is the job of the DM to make rules, and gameplay easy and understandable so these guys will want to play again
i am a dungeon master and been playing 15 years. for thise who want to play go try it, it s awesome.
I came across this at 11:30 pm.. I cant stop watching lol I guess I will be a bit tired tomorrow .. and it was worth it. 8) I ever hit the lotto Chris will be paid handsomely to DM game for me.. great job
I think it all comes down to how good the referee is. The DM here definitely researched the game
Love it. Chris is doing a British accent for his elves for a bunch of Brits.
I tried to take up d&d at one point but my friends didn't like it so I couldnt
the young Atheist cool story ;)
the young Atheist try roll20 a website wrere payres from all over the world play dnd and boardgames and stuff like that, instead of a table you use the screen, and the dm makes the maps, its pretty cool and usually it uses video and sound other people jst with text
the young Atheist Same problem, my friends won't play it. They don't dislike it, they just don't have the patience for it :(
the young Atheist Thing is, none of my friends would either, except one and he's in calif and i'm in nj. You have to literally meet other D&D players and befriend them.
infact listen to fabio or find out about Game cons.
+Jesus Perez where in NJ do you live? Are you around woodbridge township? If so I know a group of people that meet at the Barnes and Noble in Edison every Wednesday looking for players.
There are guidelines for what easy/medium/hard skill checks should be for characters of a given level, at the DM's discretion, if a character wants to try something AWESOME, like cut off the arm of a statue so it falls onto a dragon and pins it to the ground, they can make a skill check, and if they roll well, it happens, and if they don't.. it's really up to the DM. A Critical Miss of "1" can be just as fun to roleplay as a masterful Natural 20.
I wouldn't be able to resist playfully tearing into Ian Livingstone
before they open the door I'd have to ask;
Do you have an iron key, a file, a diamond, an emerald, a ruby and the knowledge of the price of six silvered arrows in Port Blacksand?
oh, I'm sorry; your adventure ends here.
+rr ww They should of killed the druid elves from the start and took their loot then go into the portal and kill their master too.
DUDE, you are just fucking amazing! DND should ABSOLUTELY be a spectator game... it's endless fun to watch one of the best DM's in the world do his thing!
I've never played D&D but i have heard of it.. it seams interesting and fun, and I'm very willing to learn it and play, with actually people ofc, but the sad thing is my friends don't play boardgames or hardly any games for that matter :/
MsRandomPro go to any local game store and ask them, you would be surprised how easy it is to find a group
Verendas t
I was there not so long ago xD
But didn't think of asking for a group.. but i sure will do that, thanks for the tip :D
+MsRandomPro roll20 is a good app, and you can find a group there pretty easily. Unfortunately all my games are full atm though lol.
Excited to watch this. Not played D&D for 10 years :( Just don't know anybody anymore who plays or would want to play
This is probably the most polite table i've ever seen :)
I would never have guessed Ian Livingstone looked like such a glowering British mobster in person.
I know the movie cruel doubt is not a true representation of d&d , but it's what brought me here to see what it's all about.
where are you filming this because by the amount of sirens anyone would think you are in the projects
+BRUTALEX Cooper I didn't film any of these, I just downloaded the fractured episodes that Wizards posted (I think it was.. 23 episodes for this one?) and combined them into one video so people could actually watch them :)
Hhb
+Liam Hill hnb?
X
If only geeks are to like this game than basically everyone on earth are geeks then! :)
Sweet, another CP D&D GM video. LOVE IT!!!. Great to watch while waiting to log into the SIm City servers
Well, I think Chris is just being 'Merciful DM' at that point, since there are new players at the table. Usually you can't identify minions until you hit them, or get a good creature knowledge roll.
I remember there being a version of this with commentary, or at I going insane?
@@stevengranados2413 there is. I might have uploaded that? It’s been a while
@@BlackfootFerret yeah I was searching for it and could only find the robot chicken one. Still a great watch , let me know if you did upload it. Thanks
I will play this for the first time in my gaming club. Cannot wait I already have my entire character made pretty much xD we're going to have a HUGE party in our dungeons tho...
i like "playing along" while watching these like looking at my character sheet and rolling and what not cause im some what new to D&D and i as well would like to see how my character does in these encounters i feel like im learning a bit and its making me think outside the box to become a better D&D player, THANKS for the uploads!
Newer players can be overly cautious but much more strategy. This is very interesting to me.
@ 1:31:02 Since they both failed at picking the door, why not have the fighter and dwarf smash the door down with the weapons the knolls dropped? So if the doors break weapons it only breaks the weapons the knolls dropped?
marylain69 Well the doors magical and the rule is normally you can't break something magical without using another magical item. So the players probably didn't try it cause they knew it wouldn't normally work.
That sounds right. However, they have a mage in their party! The mage could enchant their weapons for them, or at least enchant the weapons laying around, then try using them.
marylain69 It's possible that the wizard doesn't have it in his spell book or he might not have it memorized. So that means they would have to wait till it's memorized if he does have it.
Exactly. I read about a D&D encounter where a Barbarian with Diehard got his arm and the top of his skull cut off by a Marilith, so for his action he chose to THROW HIS BRAIN AT THE MARILITH! He rolled a 1 and missed horribly, but then it turns out the party's Psion (who had been taunting/teasing said barbarian) was in the line of fire. So the barbarian has to roll to see if he hits the Psion. He rolls a 20. Critical confirmation roll? 20. Third roll? 20. Psion dies instantly by Barbarian brain.
We even had one campaign that none of us could walk away from - the Orc Wars - so we drank a bunch of Celestial Seasonings Morning Thunder tea and stay up all night to play. LOL
Would totally watch a weekly or evrn a monthly campaign. Eould love it. Fan of d&d and tabletop wil wheaton games too.
I think the players in that game were using a rule that if someone rolled 3 natural 20s in any attack roll against something, it was an instant kill, regardless of what said weapon or whatever was.
Co-founder of games workshop. They don't joke about celebrity game.
So you asked for an opinion on how you did on the audio. I didnt have too much trouble with any of the scenes so far, but a thought would be to add subtitles to help comprehension.
Hmm.. there was some out of sync audio I had to correct, but I'm not getting an evil whispery voice on my end, either PC or iphone. You might want to try watching with a different program, or update your video driver or something. Or see if the house is built on a graveyard. But other stuff would be floating around too if that was the case.
Omg that is Graham Linehan!
u meet a druid name flareon.......... wait is he a pokemon? then some elves Pikachu?
TheGuzdar he said peek at you lol
Funny to see Graham Lineham (writer of Father Ted, The I.T crowd and co-writer of Black Books) here. Also amusing to note he isn't British....
I really want to play this game
Basically, the DM makes up the rules, but the game rules are more of a guideline. His whole goal is to entertain the players, rather than keep the rules. So if the DM rolls a crit and someone will die 5 minutes in, he can choose to change it or he can choose to allow something to happen if it has a high degree of awesomeness etc.
Players and Charakters from left to right. (I have a bad name memory and writing it down helps)
Graham Linehan Terry; Dwarf Fighter
Ian Livingstone Anvar; Ex-Barbarian, Cleric
Marty Jopson Lief Goodhair; Elf Wizard
Louise Champion Tak Tak; Halfling Rogue
Paul Moore Hill the Halfling
p.s. Does anyone of you know how to make a Tabstopp in a UA-cam comment?
You realise not all english accents sound the same, and some of them would certainly not make your heart melt.
I like the police car in the background. It's like reality: "I'm still here out there, hello!"
This is excellent. Thanks.
havent seen a game before but looks like a good time
lol every 20 min you hear a police car.
I'd settle for them bringing back the Acquisitions Inc. podcasts, but I agree, a regularly produced show would be a blast.
Love how they try and get every last bit of information out of Chris Perkins before they do anything. I've been in a lot of games where people just run head long into encounters and are like "F*@k this! I'm gonna attack it!" and wind up missing a whole lot of useful information or just putting the entire party into danger and everything just falling apart. I like it when people take their time.
GRAHAM LINEHAM! I figured someone on the writing staff was a DnD player after the episode of The IT Crowd... never clocked that it was Lineham himself.
"Celebrity D&D Game" I know none of these folks. Perkins is the biggest celebrity here according to my mind.
Thank you for the video. I haven't played table top in many years. But I did play for about 20 years. I play PC based AD&D from time to time. But this D&D seamed very watered down and a little broken to me. Is this more like basic D&D then vs. AD&D? Or like a board game version? I still enjoyed watching it though.
Hard to imagine Vin Diesel sitting and playing D&D
Yeah, but it is like his favorite thing next to acting and writing.
Armando Batista The Tattoo on his stomach in the XXX movie series is the name of his favorite character of his. Melcor I believe?
But yeah, If you haven't ever played I'd recommend it. It's honestly incredibly fun
melcor is also the real name of morogoth in lords of the rings. he was sauron's master
Chris Perkins could have a full time job doing this! It would also be nice to see other DMs run this. With the commentary option (like the Robot Chicken), it really helps and makes what can look overwhelming with all the books and rules seem a lot simpler. Plus you see the players having fun. How better to sell this?
I guess you could say that the Psion haven't reached full control over the power of minds
The Dungeon master creates the adventure in advance instead of trying to come up with something off the top of their head. Of course the DM can improvise as certain actions by the players. All treasure, creatures, traps, and a whole layout should be prepared before hand. This makes the gameplay smooth and much more fun for everyone. The Dungeon master does have the overall say on what goes, but most play fair and keep to the general rule book, but sometimes they do make slight changes.
as soon as i saw the pieces i was like "hole shit its Wrath of Ashardalon!"
Literally anything can happen in D&D, and the game plays like you would read a book if done really well. The Dungeon Master supplies the chapters and the world the the player characters will explore. The Player characters fill in what happens by their actions and add details to the chapter. Essentially D&D is an action-packed, strategy based, group story telling session where people interact to solve problems and deal with adversaries. I would recommend trying it, it is worth it. :)
So D&D Seems to be "Man tells a story and people sit and listen..may possibly ask questions at 10 minute intervals."
Lol
The wizard is like a boss
I like how the guy in the black shirt on the left keeps making faces
I wish i was on the same geek level as you guys ! This is awesome lol XD
03:03 - Marty Jopson, BlackfootFerret? No way! It's Alexander Thynn, The 7th Marquess of Bath.
Oh? I don't actually know these people, I just went with what the video said :)
BlackfootFerret I was just joshing. They're lookalikes ; p
Great job on the audio too!
