Aw, what the duece?
I can understand you wanted more characters for an ongoing series, but...
Dude, girls dont play D&D. Expeccially any girl that looks even half good and has a little love for their self. Im not saying girls dont roleplay, im saying that they just dont play D&D. Maybe one in 10,000 do. Eh, i might be wrong, they might love the stuff. But i've never heard of it.
Secondly, I just didnt get the same feel from this one. It seemed like all the jokes were either recycled from earlier episodes or that they werent funny. Rob says something rude. He gets slapped. Woot. Mike tries to suggest they do something. Rob instead takes over like usual, but now that Mindy... er... Cindy is here, she goes along with it, thus taking out the fun of the series. I liked it a lot more when they were like, "I pet the cute rat" and "What the hell! you'll beat up the innocent old beggar but you want to pet the plagued deer rat?!?" And that was it. With Cindy on board, it makes rob's side just seem like its not so absurd. This would've been funnier if the dialoge was more humorous and if Mike was subtly trying to hit on Cindy. I mean, why else would he bring her to play D&D? He shoulda been like, "She's a centaur, the most beautiful creature in the land." And rob coulda said something back that was funny. You know, funny.
Anyway, it all boils down to the idea that most the jokes only work between rob and mike, at least thats how i feel. If you were to add another character, I'd like to see a guy who doesnt side with either of them and follows the story, whatever it may be, fully. Heh, for instance, he could be picking herbs and Mike'd be like, "What the hell? why are you picking herbs!?" And the new guy'd say, "Well, we may encounter cave trolls. These herbs are poison to them!" And mike'd go on about how they'd never fight cave trolls in a forest, then sure enough, on one of rob's side-quests, they'd fight some. Or something.
I hope you understand what i mean. I love the series so far, but please, for the sake of UFR, dont keep the cindy character. She made a lot of the jokes a lot less funny and she's unrealistic. I like the idea of just rob and mike playing, becuase i've done games like that and it's silly. But, if you feel like expanding your characters by adding another team-mate, go ahead. Just, please, make it a realistic one that'll compliment the series.
