Hey friends! Those of you who have been around for a while probably know I've been working on this "I ran a D&D game for my parents" concept since... 2022 😅 It's one of those things that just ended up being a bigger project than I anticipated, and also something I built up in my brain as a Big Task, which has made it really hard to work on!

In any case, I am pushing to get it out by the end of the year, because the timeline is starting to get truly ridiculous. I'm actually trying to release it THIS WEEK (although Wednesday is starting to look... overly optimistic, haha... it'll more likely be Friday) so I thought I'd share a preview. It took SO long to chop up hours and hours of footage (session zero, interviews, b-roll, and of course, the game itself!) and now I am finally putting it all into order. This is what I have all polished up so far!

Maybe your encouragement will award me a few precious molecules of serotonin to power the rest of the edit 😂

What a great concept. I look forward to the full video!

Michael Dahn

YES! I have to live this vicariously because I couldn’t even get my parents to wrap their heads around Munchkin. This is going to be so much fun to watch!

M. Bock

I play a d&d campaign with my family every week and am about to start DMing for them, so I'm super looking forward to this one!! No pressure on timeline ever though ❤️

Cardboard Jason

They’re so cute and excited! And the cuts between them talking about their characters and the explanations are 11/10, it felt like a great pace!

Shawn Brockmeier

Oh, I am so looking forward to watching y’all’s campaign!

Jenny Jones

This is so wholesome. I’ve thought a few times about how to introduce family or friends who are just not gamers to D&D, and that last line really rings true! You just want them to have fun and figuring out how to unlock that fun, while not overwhelming or boring them with everything that the game requires, is surprisingly tricky!

Oh man! Now I have something to look forward to this... Friday? Anyway, your folks are adorable and can't wait to see how (if?) they enjoy D&D.

Iain

This is so awesome!! I can't wait to see the full vid 😍

Schruka

This is such great inspo for my own dnd game! I always wonder how to do a session zero, so looking forward to watching how you cut it together!

Mandible Bones

Yeah, the moment they picked names, my heart grew three sizes.

Abigail Beers

It's looking great! Your parents seem di-lightful! 💕

Elizabeth King

I am so excited for this video - and can only imagine the editing task with so many types of video to coordinate!

Dinah from Kabalor

Love this! Also, mimosas, very smart. When I was a teenager I ran games for my parents. My dad played an elf, I think, named Floki Fairhair, and my mom played a half-elf rogue named Serendipity Thomas.

I tried my best to get my mom to drink one, but instead I just got some hilarious footage of her reacting to the taste of a mimosa, which she did NOT like 😂

Terry

This is definitely a must watch when you release the full version, Ginny!

Cassie Banks

Your mom and dad are great! Can't wait to see the whole thing. =) I swear that cat looks like it came from The Marvels movie set. Also, got my calendar out of the mail box today! I think I might save it for Christmas to open it.

Stephanie Guebert

I’m loving this so much! I just sat here smiling the whole time I was watching lol

John Frazer

Ginny, this looks so good! In just the little taster we got here, I'm loving the idea and the format!

Chad Urso McDaniel

This is going to be awesome! Your parents are great and I wonder if there will be more "voice of Josh"

Lance Schantz

Looks like it was a lot of fun and cannot wait to see the whole video, well done.

Keith Brewster

It looks really fun so far. It’s turning out great. Your parents are adorable.

Richard Riley

That's so wholesome! I look forward to seeing if your mom maintains her snark during play or if it's just in the side notes. :)

ChemGeek - Tim

Looks like a fun time, can’t wait to see the full thing!

Glenn Dallas

Really enjoyed this. Everyone has such great nervous energy. Can't wait to see the full thing!

Becca H

This is a d o r a b l e . Really looking forward to the full video!

Jesper Fledelius-Gehrke

Hehe, that's fun. And they seem so nice :) Never played with my parents, but think I asked them back in the 80s at some point. :)

Marcus Beirne

This is so cute and wonderful!!! I'm really looking forward to seeing the full video! You got this Ginny! You can do it!!

Marcus Beirne

Who else here wants to see a video on how to run a 2 hour D&D session! 👋

Rick Henderson

Fantastic so far! Can't wait to see the final result. Love seeing brand new folks learn the game.

Graves

mom has no experience? don't worry, at low levels experience runs up fast.

Maryaa Naar

Looks fun already, I hope you all had a good time! Can't wait to see the whole thing and find out more about the adventure you and your parents went on together. :)

Milla Mäkeläinen

I can’t wait to see this! Families that play together, stay together!
