Turbine has announced that the surprise DM for the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Online content expansion called "Reign of Elemental Evil" will be none other than Wil Wheaton himself.

According to Turbine, Wheaton has recorded all of the dialog that players will hear from the DM as they progress through Reign of Elemental Evil that is set to be released today.

Find out more about the expansion on the Dungeons & Dragons Online site.

    Might have to finally try DDO since my archnemesis is DM.

    Are you by any chance Sheldon Cooper?

    edit: I hadn't played this in years. Off chance I thought I would try it again after some ESO. It's even on Steam now. :)

    Just watch out for the enchanted bunny - especially today, with the eggs and stuff :)

    So the guy that hates gamers and is famous for being the star of all the worst episodes of TNG (even worse than the beardless Riker episodes) is doing something to an old MMO.

     

    No thanks, I'll pass.

    I look at this as another  reason not to play the game actually.

    Don't get me wrong, I love to bash Wesley just as any other Trek fan out there (image) but I'm clueless about the "guy that hates gamers" part... as far as I know he's frequent on Con's, used to play himself, etc.

    Not to mention, I believe he was asked for this because he's a well-known D&D player and fan (pen'n'paper I mean, dunno whether he plays DDO or not).

     

    Also, what's wrong with TNG season 1? It had some pretty cool episodes... and if Frakes uses the razor during the off-season break, there wouldn't be a bearded Riker at all... :)

    I'm thinking of knocking the dust off this game and giving it another go, it's been awhile.

    This should be one of the best updates to the game in awhile.  I'm excited to jump and run it on the live servers.

    You'll have to show some evidence to this as I've seen him do a stint (maybe more?) on geek and sundry about games.

    Maybe he doesn't like certain elements about "gamer culture"? Heck, I don't either.

     

    More on topic, I'd love to play this "module" but leveling in DDO's initilal world is just too painful for me. It's just so dreadfully dull and "whimsical" for my taste. "dull and whimsical" who would have thought.

    akin to "tedious and brief".

    Wheaton is a huge gamer. Can't see anything wrong with this.

    You stay sassy!

    Yall do know he is doing Tabletop AND DMing a custom made tabletop RPG on geek and sundry too, in addition to everything else

     

  • HokieHokie Member UncommonPosts: 1,063

    Not that he needs defending.

    But Will has always been a huge AD&D and PnP gamer. Also he really loves his table top games.

    And in truth its not his fault they wrote his character to be pathetic, whinny, dumb kid. Look at how they treat "teens" in movies now. They are the super heros, vampires, saviours of the world and galaxy.

    He got shafted.

     

    And hes funny as hell if you watch Table Top on the Geek & Sundry YouTube channel. Especially his Cards Against Humanity episode. Which I wont link because Im sure I'd be banned.

    And OMG Aisha Tayler is over the top nuck'n futs.

    And I love her...

    Im in love with her.

    Good for Will... Desperate move by Turbine.

     

    I´d play Neverwinter over DDO any time.

    This have been a good conversation

    Apples and pc... oranges i think :)  very different games, not only by the rulesets, with different audiences targeted. True, both games go the Elemental Evil way this year, so it's not unexpected for some to compare them.

    Personally I think DDO is a much better game overall, while Neverwinter is more fun in short bursts, flashier, and also has the Foundry which is great. I like both, but only among my 2nd level games - I favor LotRO from Turbine, and STO from Cryptic instead :)
