[preview] D&D with my Parents
🕑 Added 2023-11-22 00:20:21 +0000 UTCHey friends! Those of you who have been around for a while probably know I've been working on this "I ran a D&D game for my parents" concept since... 2022 π It's one of those things that just ended up being a bigger project than I anticipated, and also something I built up in my brain as a Big Task, which has made it really hard to work on!
In any case, I am pushing to get it out by the end of the year, because the timeline is starting to get truly ridiculous. I'm actually trying to release it THIS WEEK (although Wednesday is starting to look... overly optimistic, haha... it'll more likely be Friday) so I thought I'd share a preview. It took SO long to chop up hours and hours of footage (session zero, interviews, b-roll, and of course, the game itself!) and now I am finally putting it all into order. This is what I have all polished up so far!
Maybe your encouragement will award me a few precious molecules of serotonin to power the rest of the edit π

Looks fun already, I hope you all had a good time! Can't wait to see the whole thing and find out more about the adventure you and your parents went on together. :)

mom has no experience? don't worry, at low levels experience runs up fast.
Rick Henderson
Fantastic so far! Can't wait to see the final result. Love seeing brand new folks learn the game.

Who else here wants to see a video on how to run a 2 hour D&D session! π
Marcus Beirne
This is so cute and wonderful!!! I'm really looking forward to seeing the full video! You got this Ginny! You can do it!!
Jesper Fledelius-Gehrke
Hehe, that's fun. And they seem so nice :) Never played with my parents, but think I asked them back in the 80s at some point. :)
Becca H
This is a d o r a b l e . Really looking forward to the full video!
Glenn Dallas

Looks like a fun time, canβt wait to see the full thing!
Richard Riley
That's so wholesome! I look forward to seeing if your mom maintains her snark during play or if it's just in the side notes. :)
Keith Brewster
It looks really fun so far. Itβs turning out great. Your parents are adorable.
Lance Schantz
Looks like it was a lot of fun and cannot wait to see the whole video, well done.
Chad Urso McDaniel
This is going to be awesome! Your parents are great and I wonder if there will be more "voice of Josh"
John Frazer
Ginny, this looks so good! In just the little taster we got here, I'm loving the idea and the format!
Stephanie Guebert
Iβm loving this so much! I just sat here smiling the whole time I was watching lol
Cassie Banks
Your mom and dad are great! Can't wait to see the whole thing. =) I swear that cat looks like it came from The Marvels movie set. Also, got my calendar out of the mail box today! I think I might save it for Christmas to open it.
Heather Hofshi
You got this!
Dinah from Kabalor
Ha! It is a weird drink when you think about it. Try giving her an Aperol Spritz maybe?
Terry
This is definitely a must watch when you release the full version, Ginny!
Ginny Di
I tried my best to get my mom to drink one, but instead I just got some hilarious footage of her reacting to the taste of a mimosa, which she did NOT like π
Dinah from Kabalor
Love this! Also, mimosas, very smart. When I was a teenager I ran games for my parents. My dad played an elf, I think, named Floki Fairhair, and my mom played a half-elf rogue named Serendipity Thomas.
Elizabeth King
I am so excited for this video - and can only imagine the editing task with so many types of video to coordinate!
Abigail Beers
It's looking great! Your parents seem di-lightful! π
Mandible Bones
Yeah, the moment they picked names, my heart grew three sizes.
Schruka
This is such great inspo for my own dnd game! I always wonder how to do a session zero, so looking forward to watching how you cut it together!
Iain
This is so awesome!! I can't wait to see the full vid π
ChatN
Oh man! Now I have something to look forward to this... Friday? Anyway, your folks are adorable and can't wait to see how (if?) they enjoy D&D.
Jenny Jones
This is so wholesome. Iβve thought a few times about how to introduce family or friends who are just not gamers to D&D, and that last line really rings true! You just want them to have fun and figuring out how to unlock that fun, while not overwhelming or boring them with everything that the game requires, is surprisingly tricky!

GOSHENITE GRANITEHEAD OMG YES π
Shawn Brockmeier
Oh, I am so looking forward to watching yβallβs campaign!
Cardboard Jason
Theyβre so cute and excited! And the cuts between them talking about their characters and the explanations are 11/10, it felt like a great pace!
M. Bock
I play a d&d campaign with my family every week and am about to start DMing for them, so I'm super looking forward to this one!! No pressure on timeline ever though β€οΈ
Michael Dahn
YES! I have to live this vicariously because I couldnβt even get my parents to wrap their heads around Munchkin. This is going to be so much fun to watch!
JD Bell
What a great concept. I look forward to the full video!
