[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7584220, member: 6919838"] For me, i tend to avoid the whole "dont watch it but i know its not real DND" kinds of hoohaahs but speaking as someone who has watched every ep of season two i can say that for my money i have looked at it from the angle of "is this a work or a shoot" eye myself. Understand, i was fine either way, it was entertaining so, it wouldn;t be a downer for me if i saw enough to think "yeah, its a work". But for my money, what i can say is that i have seen enough to reach the conclusion for me that it is a shoot - actual play - not pre-scripted etc - any more than a local game would be with "hey i am gonna try this joke at the next session" kind of chit chat. But of course, everyone is gonna have their own opinions. Edit to add in case its not widely known: Work = staged to look real but pre-scripted at least in major outcomes. Still room for improv in the little in-between stuff and nuts and bolts. (Pro-wrestling) Shoot = actual play, actual results, unscripted between Gm and players any more than a nortmal DND cooperative game would be. (Actual wrestling assuming no corruption.) I also find it amusing how often the "decision" about "real or not" that falls on "not real dnd" or "like pro-wrestling" trend to come from folks with little to no actual experience with the show itself. [I]"I've seen bits and pieces of the show (in Colville's vids) and read enough to determine, it's totally not for me. It's a staged production of actors playing a game for the entertainment of an audience- like a network TV show. It's nothing like playing D&D at home with friends/family. I've never watched a whole episode, and have no desire to do so." [/I] [/QUOTE]
