Haven't been following it too closely, but I believe the idea is that Call of the Netherdeep has a "rival" adventuring group running around that the PCs can interact and/or come into conflict with. And because they're intended to be relevant the whole way through, these rival characters have multiple statblocks each spanning a range of levels/CRs, so you encounter different "tier" versions of them depending on where you are in the adventure.

Yeah, the Adventurer NPCs will have multiple stat blocks, depending on where you meet them in the campaign.

Tier 1 covers levels 1-4.
My wife is a fairly big Critical Role fan. It's what sort of brought her into the game. In fact, we have a framed print from the 1st campaign, signed by all the cast, in our living room. However, I've never been able to get into it. I don't watch streaming games (and actually watch very little episodic tv in general).
Especially since the show has come out on Amazon Prime, she's really getting into it again. I suggested maybe she'd like to get this and try running a game herself. Apparently that suggestion backfired, because now she wants me to run it.
I am very bad at pre-published campaign worlds. I can't remember details from Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Golarion, or any other big settings. Especially for fans of that setting, I won't be able to present the world in a way that's reflective of all the hours of media that came before it.
So I'll be on the lookout for any of you who decide to run this online so I can suggest she join your game. Haha

For me... everything Wildemount is amazing and sounds like a blast to play in or DM. It's honestly my favorite 5e book along with Theros and Ravenloft. It's just a really good book. Bazzoxan is amazing and Xorhas is a different type of Drow city and empire and has hints of conflicts with Lolthites. The new Taldorei book is great too.

I'm in a similar position - most of my players are CR fans, but I'm just bad at listening. They will probably want me to run this, but they probably know more setting lore than I do, which is a worry. I usually use FR not because I like the setting (I think it's a boring hodge podge) but because I know the lore well.

Matt's making it out like he designed this adventure to be particularly roleplay heavy.
Bleh. Roleplaying is what happens during the game - as a natural extension of the drama of the combat, mystery, exploration, and what the players bring to it. It's not what is published in the adventure - that's just like publishing a short story.
