WOW! I'm floored! This is amazing! And I completely agree. In person 3-D playing can't be substituted. There's a reason War Hammer is so popular. And regardless of what WotC does, there is no substitute for having miniatures and physical terrain. Especially for kids--kids are hands on--and need to be hands on.

Paul Popernack

Thank you PDM for sharing. This is incredible and inspiring.

Scott Spears

Fun stuff. It looks like Prof DM has found nirvana. What cool place.

Ian Butterworth

What a lovely person. Thank you PDM for bringing Ade to us. I thought I saw Deathbringer smiling in this video, he was in hog heaven.

James Mace

This is awesome! And absolutely no substitute for community / in-person gaming! I would love to see a stream of you two doing a one-shot campaign.

Elated Muse

That was awesome! The bonus material was also awesome! It was nice to see an experience that

JAM

Bonus content was the best - defining the community was fabulous

Used to live on the 200 block of St Marks Place [East Eighth Street] '74-'78. If we only stayed in NYC.

Fantastic discussion! And Deathbringer got a field trip.

David Nelson

You can’t replace authenticity. A quality we often lack. The world is starving for it and the tables are a place where we can be ourselves without being ourselves. In other words we don’t have to be “somebody” we can just BE for awhile.

David Ford

Great video. As I was watching that old Fred Astaire tune was bouncing around my brain, “Heaven, I’m in heaven…”

Barry Donnelly

Wow that looks amazing! Personally I think the best part of the video was the interview in the bonus content, maybe consider re-editing to include more of that in the YouTube version. Keep up the good work!

Pure Imagination... "Willy Wonka and the Dungeon Factory"! Ade is a treasure and Nu Brand Gaming is a model to emulate. UK gaming clubs have done this for a long time (mostly historical wargaming). Think we're being pulled into a false conflict of gaming platform(s). VTT vs. IP vs. Hybrid experience are much like comparing Tactical Grid vs. TotM vs. Crafted terrain tables. Society needs MORE social gathering and story telling / sharing. Don't want to see the greater TTRPG /TTG community get artificially split into dogmatic tribal factions. Modern life is good at feeding us industrial imagination to consume (not that these can't be inspiration sources). Our own Creation Muscles are in need of some weight training and yoga. Frostgrave inspired Glyph Monolith bookend tenement housing is outstanding! All of the trash-to-treasure pieces are worthy of another visit. PDM - When is the next episode from Nu Brand...?

Elated Muse

I love that the truth is we want to be immersed not virtualized! I love it! I saw that sneaky bit of Deathbringer in there! in the end what is TTRPG? Table Top and yes in its true essence, community. brings people together. yes. Space is for sure an issue, but that is why Nu Gaming or other gaming stores with a bigger space.

the terrain is awesome, and it makes me feel optimistic (not easy these days!) to know people like Ade exist, with a vision and a message to us DMs out there making it happen

It looks like a great place. Great video and bonus content. Crafting and house ruling are the foundation of the hobby. And dang. I so miss in person gaming but lots of factors limit it.

Kyle (saint)

This is incredble!! And I was happy to hear his new location will be close to where I live. Thanks PDM!

I dunno. Could be awhile. However, I love Lancaster and visit often. So Ade and I will always be friends.

How amazing, to be able to craft such wonderful scenery! I live in the Midlands in the UK and Games Workshop's Warhammer World is less than 20 miles from where I live. They have a set of displays you can pay to go and see that are similar - but they are not playable, they are only displays. Seeing these massive dioramas in person is amazing and really reinforces why we love this hobby.

Raven Shadowz

What Ade has said in the bonus content about where D&D is headed needs to be on the YouTube channel, more people than here need to hear his words of wisdom, maybe it will sink in.

Drago Russo

Dungeon Masters are the glue. I love it. That was a ton of great insight. What great bonus content. Thanks.
