In an utterly doomed bid to make roleplaying cool and hip to a New Generationtm, yo, jive with the roleplaschnizzle in my crib, the makers of D&D have produced this little animated feature.
Now I don't know about your thoughts, but the depiction of gamers bears little or no relation to the sordid reality to which I have become accustomed.

With that in mind, I'm throwing open another one of my famous 'promise a prize but never deliver' competitions, in which I invite you lot to watch the animation and then list as many ways as you can see that the game, the gamers, and their house depicted differs from the awful reality of actual roleplayers.

1) One freaking roll before they go for pizza?
2a) Fireball roll accepted with good nature rather than - "but I dodged behind that big shield! You're such a cheat!"
2b) DM doesn't attempt to fudge rolls to make his mighty NPC creature withstand their attacks and thus prove his fertility is better than theirs.
3) Room not strewn with rock music posters, books and mould.
4) They all look damn attractive by gamer standards - no congenital skin defects, anyway, and clean clothing.
5) Doesn't appear to be living with his mother/disapproving wife

I'm out.
