am i the only one that thinks they just tried too hard on the 2011 pax game?
it was so... contrived... 2010 one was much much better
Agree. Although Jim Darkmagic and Al... er... Aeofel managed to carry it. Without Will Wheaton, though, I think the first half would have been deadly boring.

More DM Commentary videos by Chris Perkins please! Those he did with the Robot Chicken guys were my favorite - it was like twice the insights and tips.

I saw the game live and it was kind of a mess. It seems like the crew were pretty unfamilliar with their characaters and seemed very unprepaired for an event that for many is the highlight of the weekend.
The costumes, fanfare and elaborate game set seemed to take away from the experience instead of adding to it. I know that the show is half the fun, but it seems like the show is taking over. I also seems like the participant's interest is just not there like it was.

I absolutely agree with you guys on the PAX 11 not being as good as the PAX 10. You all bring up excellent points, HOWEVER, it was still pretty hilarious and my wife actually enjoyed sitting down to watch it. It was a lot like the "Community" D&D episode to me--as a representation of good D&D it was not good, but as an entertaining ambassador of the game to those unfamiliar with the game it was excellent.

To be fair, it is semi understandable that they were unfamiliar. Their characters went from 5th level last time they played, a year ago, to 10th level this time around. It was an awfully big jump, I think. Other than that, I didn't have a problem with the presentation overall

Agreed. It appeared that they were seeing them for the first time as well.
