Community: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons

I've recently come across the hidden gem Community on NBC. It's a fantastic show with some great concepts and themes. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, S2E14 is just one of those episodes.

While leaving much to be desired in the way of accurately describing game mechanics (which, in all honesty, would be nearly impossible to do in a 22 minute show), it does an amazingly good job of catching the ribald humor (Hector the Well Endowed), how players can get wrapped up in a good story, despite themselves, and most interestingly, the somewhat awkwardness that arises between two males playing out a somewhat romantic encounter. It also treats the subject matter with deference while at the same time poking fun at the conventions of the RPG world.

I highly recommend you check out the entire series. It's a little hard to jump right in with this singular episode without understanding the motivations behind the other characters, but still worth checking out!
