That was really really cool, I'm hoping to see some more animations from the same team.

I think the two kids at the end are in the background playing at the start of the video, I could be wrong though. [t]http://i48.tinypic.com/a1hjyq.png[/t] [t]http://i47.tinypic.com/2ekulas.png[/t]

I feel all warm and fuzzy

[QUOTE=mixshifter;39372972]I saw it more as "the reward is the experience" sort of thing. The mirror represented what the journey has made them, smarter and stronger than ever.[/QUOTE] That's pretty much what I was thinking. They start out as two random loser's envious of the badass on the horse then they end up just like him.

What a fucking awesome animation I wish I had people to play D&D or some kind of rpg game with

This kind of thing makes me sad that every tabletop game I try to start doesn't last more than two or three sessions before the people I'm playing with get bored and we give up. I don't DM every time so I don't [i]think[/i] it's my fault...

I had sort of this kind of DnD game before. It went for almost 15 sessions. All the way from level 5 to 15. Lot of shit happened. Including saving around two planes of existence, and won a few war on our own. Just need a solid group and a good DM and you're set.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;39377103]Anyone else feel it was surprisingly sexist?[/QUOTE] have you ever played DnD with a group of strange people and only one female player clothes dont get saving throws

Very Road To Eldorado-esque, I love it.

Wow didn't expect this being so good.

Kinda reminds me of the ending of Kung-fu panda. The whole mirror scene left me with a warm fuzzy feeling in both cases.

Well, along with The Reward just being released not long ago, Viborg Animation just uploaded a handful of other great flicks on youtube!

Totally awesome. Loved the art style, music scores, the hands-off storytelling, everything.

[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;39375181]Its better to read stories on the game, rather than play it.[/QUOTE] fuck no i started playing dnd with a group of friends and its fucking rad we have a blast

[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;39390241]fuck no i started playing dnd with a group of friends and its fucking rad we have a blast[/QUOTE] this D&D no matter how nerdy it seems can be fun as heck, just don't take it seriously. it's a group activity and you're with your friends so, y'know, have fun with your friends my current campaign with my friends is a laugh because we're all always so close to dying, it's just kind of a running joke now

u can have some cool.moments from taking it serious to some degree but thw majority of the time you should play to have fun And it helps if youre funny and you play it with a group of people who are also funny [editline]28th January 2013[/editline] Also almost every single encounter it seems someone's down for.the count so i think maybe we just suck at dnd

So much emotion in just under ten minutes, really good writing.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;39381836]This thread makes me want to get into D&D, but I just don't know where to start.[/QUOTE] Get the D&D redbox, its a pretty good start.
