Have you ever wanted to set up a GM screen by hadji2014-02-06 07:38:40
  Yes! by ShadowSystems2014-02-06 11:30:07
    You have an avid future in Killer Breakfasts! by LongFist2014-02-06 12:13:03
      Unnnnnn... huh? by ShadowSystems 2014-02-06 13:30:48
The site claims that the GM hands you a pre-generated 1st Level Character & then promptly kills you off by a hoarde of monsters that can slaughter you with their *initiative roll*.
That doesn't sound very fun for the Player.

The site video refused to play.
The links launch Windows Media Player, but then claim the video is an Apple QuickTime .MOV file & quits.
Right click, save as, and the result is an HTML file with the embedded link to an AQT .MOV for Apple products advertisements, or so I heard when I dropped the video URL into VLC.
It didn't continue on to a video for the site, thus leaving me with no clue as to what the video was supposed to be about.

I then went to YouTube & did a search for the page title.
It came up with a number of links, to various Episodes of the show?
Ep1 was a mildly amusing blurb that reiterated the site, plus a rapid fire burble that I couldn't parse, and a bunch of Classical Music set to audience laughter.
Ep2 was more music & laughter, plus an auction of various D&D stuff, but not very enlightening.
Ep3 refused to play at all, and YouTube refused to say why.
So I'm still at the scratching my head in confusion stage.

If all it is, is a GM that hands you a crappy character & then kills you off in a Round or two, then that's not a game I'd be interested in joining.
Even if I just kept increasing the name "Meat Shield #xxxx" by +1 and continuing as if the character hadn't just croaked, I'd rather quickly grow tired of a GM that wasn't interested in making the game fun for the *Players*.
Fun for the GM is good, but it's the Players that make it a game versus sitting alone & fapping yourself silly.
*Cough*
