Can I volunteer Martyn and Cornelia? Bc a board game night type video with the four of them would actually be amazing.
omgggg i think i would die @ any version of dnp playing a game they made themselves on their channel, but especially a version with m/c. i hate how badly i want this now ....

YES!!!! How amazing would that be!! I'd love it to be Bryony and Wirrow too but they've probably already tested it with them in private and they wouldn't want to be involved in a video.
Maybe this was the card game(is it a card game?) that could be seen in the reflection of Phil's picture !? :lol: alittledizzy you were right!
It is a card game! I don't have my open box with me right now but if I remember rightly it came with two different sized decks of cards, and score sheets.

Would anyone want pictures of the rules and contents, or would it be better to keep at least some of it a secret before they announce it??

Thanks dizzy for the perspective on the forum. George that's basically what I was worried about.

feenix wow that's awesome! Thank you for sharing with us. While it is a bit unfortunate that these slip ups happen in distribution, even their own store has sent out unannounced merch early, so don't feel bad. The game looks delightfully disturbing. I know what I'm asking for for my birthday! Very excited about the the announcement and/or demonstration video.

LtrllySusan "fiend" is a term meaning either "an evil spirit or demon", or "a wicked or cruel person" they mean the latter, and really the term has softened quite a bit over time. You could teasingly call someone a fiend. D&P played an app called Best Fiends for a spon on the gaming channel that the turned into a friendship quiz-off during Gamingmas. :twisted:

Imminent Mental Health Video...

wow. Like as someone who has suffered from depression and anxiety and has had a shitty experience with the NHS (i'm still technically waiting on a CAMHS referral that was made in 2010... when I was 15, and still waiting on a psychology referral that was made in 2014 when I was 18), i'm very proud of him. Its a big deal to talk about mental health and so important for him as a man to be talking about it. Toxic masculinity is a subject often overlooked when discussing gender issues - which is something that infuriates me. Suicide is the biggest killer of men aged 18-45, 75% of all suicides are men, (at least in British society/culture) women are socialised into talking about their problems, men are socialised into the exact opposite. If men were encouraged to speak up earlier, get help earlier, lives would literally be saved.

Which is why I'm so optimistic for this video. It's so important that Dan Howell, rich white privileged male that he is, talks about mental health. If he, the epitome of millennial privilege, can talk about how he has mental health problems, it helps in opening the doors for other young males who watch his videos to talk about their issues. I'm so excited for this video because I want Dan to talk. I feel like it might be a video about how he maybe got diagnosed with something? If you look at his older videos (say 2010-2013, especially when he lived in Manchester and just when he'd first moved to London) it is sometimes so obvious that something is wrong. (I maintain that his first ISG has Dan at his most emotional he'd ever been on his channel.) I wouldnt be surprised if he made a video about being diagnosed because that would still allow him to do jumpctus? Or maybe something like the Bahamas video where he is, essentially, telling a story?

I'm cautious about jokes - I personally have a very dark sense of humour, i.e. my nana died the day Donald Trump got elected and I still make jokes about how I was like 'omg today cant get any worse' and my nana was literally like 'hold my beer' :lol: - but too many and people are going to be upset. Though I am intrigued to see something serious from Dan too - I'm excited. I think this video is so very, very important, and I wouldnt be surprised if he's been working on it for a while.

Personally, I'm dying to see the rules. But you can always put it under a spoiler tag for people who don't want to be spoiled!

Holy shit. Everyone here on IDB should band together and go work for the FBI. I'm really fucking impressed.

Have you gone through the contents of the game yet? I'm curious what kind of "truth bombs" we're talking about here! I for one would love to see the contents of the game! Also that botched photoshop of them is horrendous, har har "birthing." :shock:

Oh god. I think I may be a bit bitter if that's what they're doing in the collab with Louise. Har harrrrr birth of a game birth of a person, lel GET IT? But it would make sense if Dan asked Louise to postpone it until the 20th. Unless they talked about the game in the collab or something.

Hmm. These sneaky sneks.

I honestly CANNOT with this forum. Y'all predict every damn thing. It's not even funny anymore, just inhuman.

Well congrats on another prediction!

I agree - we know it's coming now, but let Dan and Phil have the hype and excitement on their side when they release the announcement. They're probably already on the phone with the producers and trying to find out how many games were sent out early and I don't want them to have to rush the announcement or spoil the fun for them.

I personally think since they haven't announced it it's better to not spoil it anymore, the info that it exist is enough.

I'm a bit concerned that this will make Dan hold off releasing his video.

I mean... the stuff that feenix is talking about showing us isn't really what Dan and Phil are gonna announce. That's the game itself, and that cat is out of the bag. They're gonna show us a tiny teaser or a demo video and then say "Now go buy it!" because this is bottom line all about that cash. And I'm pretty sure a lot of us are gonna buy it anyway, which is why I'm totally okay with things being posted on the forum - under a cut so people who do want to be surprised don't get it spoiled. :)

Can I just say, This isn't like a digital only thing that can wait till the last minute since it can be released whenever, this is a physical thing. The odds of it being leaked are extremely high. beyonce-ing something is only possible once maybe twice in a career. it can't really work if preorders are up across the web. To be honest, If they would announce things a month or so prior, the idea of this being a leak wouldn't have been an issue at all. Idk I've been seeing posts saying "don't talk about it because it's not publically out" and a ton of other things... when it technically is, it's just not officially anonuced.
Yelling at people to not talk about things will only make people talk about it more and look into it more. This isn't about people on here but more on twitter. I understand not wanting the whole game to be spoiled, yes, but just saying that they made a board game, shouldn't be that big of a deal.

I haven't been feeling like posting these past few weeks and also haven't been really keeping up with :deppy: or the phandom (trying to catch up is so damn difficult even though they're not even that active these days lol), but I just wanted to say that ever since I found out about the fact that Dan's actually going to post a mental health themed video today I've been very proud of him, mainly for finding the courage to do it and for his charity promotion. imo it's overall a good thing and it just made me happy <3 even though he's not at all the first youtuber to make a video about it, his position definitely differs from others because of how especially intense and impressionable his fanbase is. I don't know any other youtubers whose fans over-analyze their every word and move like it happens with Dan (and Phil) every day no matter what he does, so it was a brave decision on his part and I hope it all goes well for him and that there will be no serious reason for backlash. I was also happy to find out that he apparently contacted Kati Morton, her videos are really helpful (to me and just in general) and she handles each topic she covers with care, so now I don't doubt that Dan can make a good, informative video since it looks like he's done his research and is obviously taking it seriously, which was my main wish regarding him making a mental health video. it's going to be personal for him, of course, so that's another reason to be proud of him, I imagine it must be very hard for him to open up to his audience, given what I've said before and other obvious reasons. I hope he clarifies why he chooses to talk about "never going outside" and "craving death" and maybe in the past month he even educated himself better and now he actually understands why it's not the best coping mechanism there is/why it's not the best thing to joke about. if not that, I'm just glad that he'll talk about it all more in depth (probably) and that he will use his platform to help others. sorry for this rambly mess, but tl:dr, I'm really proud of Dan and all the virtual luck from me to him :hugrb: :love2:

oh and also, the board game thing is so intriguing, I'm so glad they were able to make it all work since both of them are such board games fans and it's another cool way for them to express their creativity :) hope the fact that we know won't spoil it for DnP (as well as won't result in any serious trouble for them), but thanks for the info anyway, feenix!

yes, that would be terrible for dnp. to have a fandom promote a product by making it seem top secret. Something a PR agent would definitely not want...

(yes, I am trying to imply that, like malday, I think feenix is a PR agent)

EXACTLY! Like i'm not surprised it turned up in Waterstone's, it needs to be physically distributed and its not like theres an embargo on it. (also flashbacks to 2010 when HMV accidentally announced Danger Days in the middle of the MCR Mindfuck - fun times :rofl:)

But, let's talk about the important things here.... Dan can apparently impregnate Phil. The laws of biology have been breached! :o ;)

Jeez I can't believe I don't check this forum for like 5 hours and this is what I come back to. :stan:

Wow. I know we all joked about it but I really didn't believe it. FBI really needs to hire the people in this forum. I also think Phil's grandmother might have passed along his psychic genes here :rofl: I'm very very curious and excited about it, it looks super nice and my heart is warm at another piece that will add to their shared branding. And the 19th <3

I also think this might be the February thing that seemed work related. I wonder if this is the reason why Dan is doing a liveshow tomorrow as well as a video today? Does that mean we can hope for a shared liveshow? Please oh please.

I almost feel bad for the guys but they should know that they cannot wait till the last minute without something leaking. What were they thinking, not announcing this when it's out in a week, don't they know Amazon and such would start putting links up earlier :shrug:

Y'all I deleted the pics from imgur but I don't know if they've deleted on here as the site is being very slow. Can a mod/admin delete them maybe? I've had contact from Big Potato as they've seen the pics and Dan and Phil want it to be a surprise. I've helped them contact all the other stores that have it in stock as I'm sure it would be only a matter of time before someone else posts pics of it. They're super thankful to me for helping them realise the mistake but errr yeah I feel like the pics should be deleted from here too.

I’m really excited about Deppy’s board game.

While I get that they might not be happy about it being released early, surely they get that the cat is out of the bag and can’t go back in?! And honestly if the real release date is October the 19th, then it is their own fault for not announcing it earlier. Like there has been said, in this day and age beyonce-ing anything is almost impossible.

Aw, laaaame (not you feenix). Okay everyone, start working on your surprised faces so they're good to go on the 19th all over again.

I'm cracking up @ this damage control, don't know why but it's got me right in the giggledick. Oh, poor dip & pip. This was a pretty big oversight of their management (assuming their management were the ones to set everything up with Big Potato etc.) How could someone from their management or whatever not have seen this coming?!

Also to echo what Lain said already, I hope you don't feel bad! I'm sure that if it weren't you to notice the game and post pics of it, someone else definitely would have. I appreciated the sneak peak anyways. :)
