Tales from the Writers' Room - Conscious Robots. Part one: The Rise of Darius.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2024
- The first episode of this new style of RPG for RUclips. Rather than an all-knowing games master and players each controlling one character, we have a collaborative writing team, and the scenes are about the characters interacting with each other more than with a hostile world.
The setting: London A.D. 2052, some robots are developing consciousness. How will humanity react? The men from the Ministry of Robotic Affairs are conflicted, and the public is divided.
The video setting up the characters and situation: • Tales from the Writers...
Episode two: • Tales from the Writers...
Episode three: • Tales from the Writers...
Cameras operated by jenny Dinwoodie and Raven Hall.

I love seeing how the players come into their characters and slowly gain confidence. A.D.A.M is my favorite so far.
This is a collection of every British male stereotype in one room, wonderful
I WILL NOT REST UNTIL OUR ELECTRONIC ADVERSARY IS DISMANTLED!!!
All tech-heresy must be expunged, the Omnissaiah demands!
HUMANITY FOR THE HUMANS
Wow is this that RP system that lindy made a video of all that time ago using break bad characters as examples?
Real heads remember
Whats the name of that video?
@@rallis3937The upcoming revolution to role-playing games?!
Lindybeige with the video marathon. I won't even be able to binge all of this.
I love seeing the details of the story gradually developing out of nothing, almost as if it's magic. It's such a fascinating listen and I've seen nothing like it on this video platform; It's such a unique peek into such an exciting dynamic process
That scene where Adam asked how long he had left was excellent. Fhe subtle little facial ticks were just 🤌
Why can I only press “like” once whilst watching this? Every subsequent press of that button decommissions my subsequent press but there is at least 15 subsequent occasions where I feel a pressing of the like button was deserved/warranted. Lindy and crew, this is amazing! We had a video a year or so ago about a system of drama & rpg & writing method, and now we have examples of it in action! And it works! More of this please
This needs putting into an animation or short cough cough long film format
Lindybeige mentioning HBO, a £60,000,000 budget, and actors might be good news to you then
The forklift impersonation.
Hey this is a better story than anything else on television this needs to become one
A well constructed story, nothing less from Lindybeige.
I find the whole process fascinating.
It is the kind of RP I would like to play.
The edge of writers rooms/RP/Improv.
It was really interesting seeing the players slowly grow more and more comfortable with their characters. Scenes got longer and longer and more indepth. It was a joy to watch.
Glad you liked it. Yes, it was pretty slow burn at first. We'll get better at it.
I like that it seems like the first glimmer of consciousness seems to be a kind of logical paradox or I guess to use other big words, a cognitive dissonance. Basically, just get the robot to question itself. So, to make a robot more human, you just have to hurt its self-confidence. Sounds about right.
Lindybeige video! And on my birthday too!!!!
happy birthday!
Happy birthday
They are called HUMAN rights for a reason.
Loving this format! I was kind of iffy on the black background, harsh spotlight limbo, but it grew on me. Ends up feeling very cinematic.
I’d love to see your take on the Fiasco system.
Intrigued and enjoying this so far just watched the episode zero. Now I'm ready 😊
Lets gooooo!
11:27 How did anyone in the room keep a straight face after that? THERE 4 QUID NOW DAfaq !
This is great!
This is enthralling ❤
Love this!
This reminds me strongly of a game called Fiasco! Very curious indeed.
That's an interesting experiment. Thank you.
There would be a lot of people denying wire-tripping for various reasons. I'm glad you touched on it.
I've got hand thing worked out for talking to the pet forklift. But it doesn't fit his personality. WAAAAA Sometimes :)
lindybeige detected, veins injected.
I think farage whould be bot sceptic
This is less Lindybeige and more Cringeybeige
Is there going to be a DIRECTORS CUT of this story???
Is this FIASCO!
?
No this is DramaSystem. Hillfolk is the unfortunate name of the game.
It's similar in some ways, being a rules-light system with a lot of focus on the emotional aims of the characters. There's another video on this channel about the system, already mentioned on this thread
Echoes of Bladerunner!
What was that Tom Selleck film where he hunted and decommissioned rogue robots?
(quick google)
Ah, right, it was Runaway. Kind of a “buddy cop” plot without the twist of sentient robots.
I really like the idea behind this roleplaying system but I have to say that I don't think that the android theme works well with it. I feel like having half of your characters be emotionless robots is super difficult to pull of well with improv.
Well, they have become conscious, so sort of do (?) have emotions, but re new to them. I liked how Casey got across a lot with a very low-key performance.
If this is to happen again, may I suggest a fixed camera on the players? I know the cameraman is trying his best, but the wobbling around was a little motion sickness inducing. Additionally, perhaps establish to the players to signal when they feel like the scene to end, and when all parties in the scene have signaled it, then you can cut the lights. Otherwise it may lead to awkward moments where the scene seems to abruptly end when there was more exchanges to be had.
Speaking of lighting, the close-ups are great, but the main one was a bit too sensitive on the one shining on you.
To cover all the possible combinations of shot needed, I would need dozens of cameras.
@@lindybeigeWould one for each player and switching between them as they deliver their lines not suffice? It's be a loss of dramatic angles, I'm sure but it'd avoid the camera shakes
@@AnakinSkyobiliviator My ambition was to capture something that other RPG videos fail to get: eye contact.
@@lindybeige Ahhh, I gotcha
Sir, the rebels are as the gates. We are holding them off for now, but I am sorry to inform you that they are a bit uppity.
To have consciousness one needs the womb of a female. If one only sees the mental dimension even the physical dimension is hard too see. Conan Doyle who was very spiritual based his Sherlock Holmes character on this thing where most can not see the physical because they are trapped in the mental dimension. Then only when clearly seeing the physical can seeing the spiritual dimension begin. At the same time the words robot or alien make it hard to access the complete and deep understanding on this topic of soulless beings like robots or deformed weakly connected to soul humans who want to hide what they really are("alien").
7 minutes in. Give these guys a budget and get them writing, this is 100% better than anything coming out of Holywood
Exactly how did these robots gain consciousness? I can't get immersed until I know this because it flies in the face of any logical path humanity would take. Why would we endow our "free" work force with consciousness?
Really a Farage character who's pro bot, a pro anything Farage.
Ooh this is a slow one, Where's the improv ? Where's the spontaneity? World of woodcraft so far, all kept rattling along by Lin......

Holy shaky cam
very wooden so far 35,00 no personalities emotions normal interactions banter like workmates would
Agreed, not a great deal of spark so far....
1:00:00
It was so painful to listen to, you people have no passion.
If that's your idea of fun, I'd rather sleep than drive some hours to the spot and almost sleep while playing.
Have some energy! Emotions, creativity!
i really miss just the like Siege & Medieval videos lol
