  • Videogames are great but did you know there’s a whole genre of games where outcomes are determined by dice rolls? Us neither! So with the help of Eurogamer’s resident tabletop game expert Johnny Chiodini, we learn more about the rich, imagination-fuelled world of Dungeons & Dragons, setting out on an adventure, that involves a clumsy pirate, a talking chicken and, somehow, The Vengabus.
    Catch up with every Oxventure D&D Episode here:

    Many thanks to Loading Bar! loading.bar/
    In this first episode we meet the party: a ragtag group of adventurers brought together by their desire to make a quick buck.
    Jane is Prudence, a Tiefling Warlock with the hots for Cthulhu; Luke is Dob, a half-Orc Bard armed with the soothing lullabies of the Venga Boys; and Ellen is Merilwen, a Wood Elf Druid with an affinity for nature and chatting with animals.
    Andy meanwhile is dread pirate Corazón de León, a Human Rogue who has always been a fearsome pirate, why wouldn’t he have been, there's no secret backstory here, stop asking.
    We hope you enjoy this, our first foray into tabletop gaming. Hop over to Outside Xtra for the second episode of our D&D adventure, this time next week: / outsidextra

      maybe, but the point of most tabletop rpgs is to find a character you can feel comfortable with and have fun playing. when playing a character in a game, especially as a beginner, it's a lot more fun to play as a character who you have things in common with, and that you personally find cool. the oxbox and oxtra guys here did a fuckin great job with making characters they could really get into and get excited about, and that's awesome, bc hoo boy lemme tell you nothing kills a game like playing with a character you don't actually like that much.

      I was on the run in riverwood, stealing things and slaying people. My bounty was quite high. As I crossed a bridge I saw a chicken and decided to kill it. The game then told me...
      “50 bounty removed from Riverwood. All witnesses slain.”

A tiefling named for wisdom, forethought, and good judgement. Prudence. I appreciate the irony of it, given her backstory of making a pact with Cthulhu out of sudden teenage pique. It’s hilarious.

    My human rogue was trying to stealthily take out a bandit camp until my friend the dwarf fighter came in yelling HOLA COMO ESTAS alerting the bandits and getting me shot in the left testicle

      Not because of the dwarf, but because of the non-elective orchiectomy.

    12:51 I really wish at this point originally it had just gone like, "Hello?"
    "Yes, we're here about the job?"
    "What job?"
    "The one about your missing son?"
    "'Oh, that'd be the Mayweather residence, across the street. This is the Mayfield residence.' And across the lane you see a second mansion with a rather sizable line of people waiting to get in."

    If you're new, welcome to the most wild D&D series on UA-cam. Take your time and watch a few episodes at a time. The series may be over, but that doesn't mean you can't join in on the fun.

    When I first watched this 2 years ago, without knowing anything about DnD, I laughed like an idiot.
    Now, having played almost every weekend for the last 9 months, understanding more of what they are saying and rewatching it all from the start, it's somehow EVEN FUNNIER.
