comment |
Four apparent grown-ups sit in a cellar, roll dice, and argue with the Game Master over the rules. Sounds familiar? ...except the four gamers are The Archmage, a Knight in Shining Armor, a royal councilor, and a high-profile spy from the world of Fartherall; their GM is an Evil Chancellor; and they're playing Humans & Households — a game of personal powerlessness and existential horror.Humans & Households is a three-part Web Video mini-series Kickstarted along with The Gamers: Natural One in 2013 by the creators of The Gamers film series (of which it is a spin-off) and released in 2014 on their YouTube channel. |

Wrong Genre Savvy: The player characters are only in danger due to their own actions and ignorance of the setting. The actual situation poses no threat whatsoever, and appears to have been meant as setting up the actual quest. Which is also in no way dangerous. |

What the Hell, Hero? |
| | The Gamers: Humans & Households (Web Video) / int_d39e327f |
comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Disturbingly averted: the party antagonizes their friend's dog (whom he asked them to look after, no less) and lures it out of the house to be hit by a car and presumably killed — and no one calls them out on it, except the in-universe car's unseen driver. This is an intentional parody of how some gamers play to win without considering the moral implications of their in-game actions. |

Comically Missing the Point: After discovering a note from Steve that asks them to take care of Steve's dog — whom they've just brutally killed — an awkward silence sets in, and you assume it's because the party realizes how much they screwed up...and then Moonray declares that the note is too straightforward, so it must be fake, while Flex suggest searching the upper floors for the answers. Yeah, they never gave it a second thought, they were just trying to crack the "riddle". |
