When I heard the Robot Chicken was sitting down for some D&D with Wizards of the Coast Dungeon Master Chris Perkins (yes, the same DM who runs the PA/PvP/WW games), I couldn’t wait to see Seth Green rolling some dice and slaying some monsters! As the first episode began, I was introduced to Dan Milano, Zeb Wells, Tom Root, Doug Goldstein, and …Kevin Schinick? Where’s Seth?! Dammit. Who are these guys, why have most of them never played D&D and why aren’t they funnier?

If you would like to watch the videos of Robot Chicken playing D&D, even through they don’t feature Seth Green, you can find them all here. Meanwhile, I will find comfort in the possibility this raises that the upcoming PA/PvP/WW game (yes, there is another on it’s way!) will be a video podcast - that would be amazing!

EDIT: I just found out why Seth Green couldn’t make it - he was too busy making a guest appearance over on WWE! FTW?

After being away from theNerdPatrol for most of last week, I find there is a lot I need to catch up on. After careful review, there are only two things that I need to make sure you didn’t miss:

1) D&D Podcast season 3 episode 1

I love listening to the Penny Arcade boys (Mike Krahulik & Jerry Holkins), Scott Kurtz (PvP) and Wil Wheaton play some Dungeons & Dragons. It is 100% guaranteed to crack me up. This round of gaming appears to be no different. As an added bonus, the boys will be auctioning off the dice used in this game to benefit Child’s Play! Very cool.

2) The Guild, season 3 episode 1

I have to admit, that most of my love for this show is based on it’s goofiness more than it’s quality. The season 3 opener is as awkward as ever, but also still quite amusing. This season we have the added bonus of Wil Wheaton joining the cast for several webisodes! Nice codpiece, sir!

Episode #8 of the Penny Arcade/PvP/Wil Wheaton D&D Podcast

When the dice betray you, there’s nothing to be done, but cheat. I remember during the last game (sans Wheaton) their prisoner goblin Splugh (sp?) saved their asses on several occasions. I hope the boys make it out okay; there’s been a lot of unconsciousness lately.

Download faster, damn you! iTunes! Give me my fix!

This image has got me all in a tizzy! How can this be? Who will save Acquisitions, Inc’s ass with his stellar aim (rolls)? Who will let loose white doves to raise their morale? Why can’t I successfully download Episode #7 of the Penny Arcade/PvP/Wil Wheaton D&D Podcast?? GAH!!

I’ve fallen woefully behind on these, but you know it’s going to crack you up, so go get it! (as if you didn’t know this was referring to Episode #6 of the Penny Arcade/PvP/Wil Wheaton D&D Podcast)

The boys are at it again. There appears to be a jump in the action - we’ll never know what Wil Wheaton was going to do when he stuck his head out from behind that pillar…. Listen to the next chapter here!
