That is, essentially, the gist of GOLD, the sports-drama web series with a rather unexpected sport at its center: competitive tabletop role-playing a la Dungeons and Dragons. We first covered GOLD back in October of last year when we interviewed show creator and actor David Nett, before the show debuted in November. Now we’re four episodes into the six-episode season, and things have started to pick up steam. With shooting completed on the first season, creator Nett says they are now switching gears into planning Season 2 and locking up a sponsor for the series.
GOLD, however, is a completely different beast entirely; it feels like a sports drama. Jonathan copes with injury and the stress of his career on his marriage. Dave muses about how the game is changing – because it’s being supplanted by online role-playing games. Sam has to get used to the pressure of letting the team down as he adapts to a new position. Even Richard, who is admittedly rather unsympathetic at this point, is doing what he has to help his team win. That the cast does such an incredible job connecting these classic sporting show moments to something as seemingly ridiculous as a bunch of aging guys playing Dungeons and Dragons is nothing short of spectacular. GOLD is one of the few shows that can tell a niche story to a wide audience. I’m eagerly awaiting the next few episodes.
I’m really proud of the work we’ve done this season on GOLD, and I think the next two episodes are awesome. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as we enjoyed making them. As we wind down Season 1, please know that we are totally committed to keeping GOLD rolling into Season 2, and that the best things you can do to help are to watch the videos and spread the word. -David Nett, creator.
