Powerful

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I like a lot of the jobs and the thematic of this series. I do understand that the guys making the show need to make jokes and comments on everything, real games are usually a little more chill, but whatevs, this is TV. Then again, I do think that if the guys making the show took the game a little more serious they could actually have more fun doing it than just doing it to make a show. I mean, in real games things are usually not so joking at every second, but when crazy stuff comes down it's usually way crazier than in the show. I've had Nazi elves, guys who want to steal things bigger than planet under their cloaks, etc. And let's not even start with epic level shenanigans.This is NOT how you play D&D tho, there are more rules that keep you from doing half the nonsense like making things appear that they do in this show, and even without the rules, games usually have a hint of seriousness, because let's be honest, the guys in this show don't take the game seriously for one second, they should stop trying to be funny at every second, or at least stop unless they have an actual joke to make instead complete mumbling and nonsense. Randomness is funny just so far.Overall the show is pretty good and it introduces people to something close to D&D games.

I've never played D&D, so it was nice to see a little of how it's implemented. Now I can put away my desire to play it sometime just to see what it's like.Outside of that, the one episode I saw left me underwhelmed. I mean, it was cute. A bunch of people sit around and create a fantasy story guided by a facilitator, and they make jokes, and seem to be having a good time. And some of it's animated, which is cute.But this is no Rick and Morty or Community. It's a shabby, shambling thing. It's somewhat amusing, but hardly hilarious.Still, I'm certainly not part of this show's target audience, because it's pretty much aimed at D&D folk. So if you're one of them, enjoy.

OMG - this is truly ridiculously funny! I am a 41 year old ex-D&D nerd, and this just made me giggle endlessly! It took me back to the sad (yet funny) days of sitting round a ping-pong table in my basement, and wasting entire weekends playing D&D. I'm not sure how non-D&D playing people will see it, but if you EVER played D&D, you will laugh your ass off.

If you like Drunk History, you will love HarmonQuest. Each episode is a chapter in Spencer's story of the binding rune stones. The game play is animated along with the dialog Spencer, Dan, Erin, Jeff, and the celebrity guest of the episode. Spencer does a great job as Game Master, he weaves a wonderful tale of ghosts, kobolds, and flying swords.Dan, Spencer, Erin, and Jeff are masterful players in Pathfinder. Adding hilarious dialog and actions to Spencer's world and quest, this group is one with great chemistry together and stay in character really well.
