It's fair to say that I am no DnD expert, in fact I know next to nothing of this world.....the fact that I just had to look up whether it was DnD or D&D proves this point :D.
But this is where Fungeons is different, you can leave your rules & your traditions where you parked you Flagon! I was worried when I started watching that I was going to struggle to follow the story & plot, but thanks to the amazing Mauderator, there were never going to be such issues & I am so happy to have joined the viewership of this magical realm of wonderful characters, great plot points & gallons & gallons of laughter. I'm fully aware that as a non DnD enthusiast, I don't have the traditional way to compare it to, but I believe that the improv aspect of Fungeons is what sets it apart & brings it to a totally new audience resulting in the cast as well as the audience on occasion bursting into fits of laughter & tears streaming down your face.
I can assure you that watching just a single episode of any season of this show, you'll be putting the D8 in your diary for every live episode afterwards!
