GOLD: The RPG web series 

Gold, the RPG web series that does double damage, is an ambitious and well executed indie comedy series by David Nett and Andrew R. Deutsch. Gold concerns the American and British Goblins & Gold RPG teams as they prepare for the World Roleplaying Games Championships.
Elite athletes. Cunning strategists. Ruthless adversaries. It takes great endurance to survive in the cutthroat world of Professional Roleplaying Gamers. Can you take the hits?
Nett (a producer and nascent professional actor) writes, "I'm a longtime tabletop RPGer who got my first taste of 1st Edition AD&D in 1986. Gold is both a comic look at the American portrayal of sports in television and film, and a loving tribute to the wonderful world of traditional pen-and-paper style roleplaying games."

The series premiered this past November. The Gold website has so far posted a teaser, a trailer, and three episodes (Prologue, Episode 1, Episode 2). (Caution: Occasional strong language.) They post new episodes monthly, and they're on iTunes too. If you like what you see, be sure to donate to keep the series going. (Here's an Escapist magazine review of Gold, and a TubeFilter interview with David Nett.)

Check the interesting Gold blog (it's not every film production blog that has character stats), and follow the team on Twitter. Good luck to David, Andrew, and the entire Gold team!

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
