Yeah it was so cool. I'd watch a full show or movie like that, did a fantastic job on the representation of spells and stuff too. Huge fan.

Completely agree. Though, while I loved almost everything about the episode, I thought the dialog was incredibly cheesey and seemed very predictable in their words.

Everything else - the animation, pace, facial expressions, voicing, etc was amazing though.

It felt like the dialogue at some of my tables because it was so cheesy!

That’s how I felt. It felt like game talk, that was almost the average stereotype of each class. I get that there was only 12 minutes, but they could have still put more details or references to D&D / features / backgrounds.

It just felt rushed, and had so much more potential. It ended up just being okay/good for me - like a 6.5/10 because of that. Still 10/10 on animation though, unreal.

Fair enough! For me, that's actually what made it stand out for me because it felt like a tabletop game brought to life rather than something "epic."

I was telling me my friend every episode is almost like a tech demo you'd see from a game trying to sell a publisher a title. The short duration + jumping universes don't help the story telling but the production quality is phenomenal.

Very, very true.
