Getting back to the video, I am really liking what I'm seeing and layout-wise. The books sure look gorgeous and, from what we've seen, they should be far easier to use at the table.
Right, and in image 1, long-haired gray hoodie guy is on a computer monitor, whereas in image 2 he is physically present. So, evidently they’re either different sessions, or he’s just… doing a video call from the bus while he’s on his way there, and by image 2 he’s arrived? Again, different sessions seems like the more plausible explanation, and the same outfits are just run-of-the-mill cartoon logic.@Charlaquin
Looking more closely at the two images.
These three players are facing the DM, who is out view. The one with D&D T-shirt standing up is the superheroish character in orange at right. The player in pink is the character on left also in pink. The player with the V-neck shirt on right holding the glasses has a character that is out of view.
In this next image, two more players are in view. The new player in the hoodie at far left, is the character in green also at far left. Next from left, we now see the Wizard character that the earlier player in the V-neck shirt is playing. At center, the new player wearing a red shirt and standing up is playing the character at far right. However, this is probably an NPC, and the player at center is the DM − and the NPC and the Wizard are interacting in a social encounter. Next from right, the player in the D&D T-shirt still has the superheroish character in the background. At far right, the player in pink has the character in pink out of view. The character seems to be missing from this social encounter, as the player is withdrawn from the game interaction. Possibly the character died in the green-skull explosion of the previous image, or might simply be facing a different encounter separately. Either way, the player is waiting to resume the game.
Yeah.Right, and in image 1, long-haired gray hoodie guy is on a computer monitor, whereas in image 2 he is physically present.
Exactly, I think it is a personal call, rather than remote play. The player is calling to say, on the way.So, evidently they’re either different sessions, or he’s just… doing a video call from the bus while he’s on his way there, and by image 2 he’s arrived?
It looks like the same session. Earlier on in the first image, the player in pink is playing in the encounter. But later on, the player in pink is waiting to rejoin.Again, different sessions seems like the more plausible explanation, and the same outfits are just run-of-the-mill cartoon logic.
I’m not even convinced it’s the same adventure, let alone the same session. In image 2 they’re very clearly playing Curse of Strahd, whereas image 1, the specific adventure is harder to determine, but doesn’t look like CoS. Maybe Tomb of Annihilation? More likely not any specific module though.Yeah.
I was cautious about identifying the remote player, but looking carefully at the screen, one can see the part of the hoodie. Probably the player had a schedule conflict but was able to join game in person during the latter part of the session.

Also ... everyone is wearing the same clothes during the same session.
Seing the cackling bunch in the back, I suspect Hideous LaughterNot mentioned so far is this piece of bard art (Gnome Bard with kobold dancing irresistably? If so they're fighting kobolds at level 11+)

I don’t mind the hairstyles myself. It’s more the modern-ish clothing and shoes that bother me (like those glamour bards). I found it off-putting in the Radiant Citadel art and am continuing to find it off-putting here.Art is amazing, my only complaint is with some of the hipster hair cuts, the side shave is just so unimpressive and and not a fan of the man buns either. Is it a Dwarven foundry or a Dwarven Starbucks?
Those glamor bards are concept art. The final piece didn’t look like she had modern shoes.I don’t mind the hairstyles myself.

Well, these images come with a script, to provide a full example of play: could be multiple examples?I’m not even convinced it’s the same adventure, let alone the same session. In image 2 they’re very clearly playing Curse of Strahd, whereas image 1, the specific adventure is harder to determine, but doesn’t look like CoS. Maybe Tomb of Annihilation?
