Nintendo and CR made the game.

I would also like to take the opportunity to point out the existence of this Kickstarter: Heroes of Cerulea.

Pretty much. The one-shot's still going as I write this, but it's been a fun watch (and listen as I work on other stuff, 5+ hours is way too long to devote to a single watch).

Yeh that’s exactly why I don’t watch it live

I suspect Hasbro will be unhappy if WotC can't publish Hyrule d20. Some times in the past I suggested WotC publishing licenced version of famous videogames: Final Fantasy, Warcraft, Zelda, Dragon Quest, Legends of Mana, Golden Axe..

Here's to hoping they release the game. It looked fun.

I thought tons of DMs wanted their games to be grounded in the mundane? To have to deal with real life style survival challenges where PCs have to manage every item they have? Isn't immersion important?

Haven't seen it yet but I will absolutely watch anything involving Emily Axford and this sounds like a lot of fun.

Yeah that…definitely isn’t how the game is playing out, or how any game they’ve ever done on the channel has played out.

Eh, during Campaign 2, they once had an episode that spent an hour on hiring an NPC to work in their tower. They've also had shopping episodes and a spa episode (the spa episode may have also been the hiring-the-NPC episode).

It's not crazy for people to not be into Critical Role's extremely leisurely pace.

I don't think they've ever released any of their bespoke videogame RPG rules, unfortunately. It seems like a slam dunk for a lot of these companies to do so, especially if the work is already largely done.

For people who want a Zelda ttrpg, you've got some generic choices, though, including Bloat Games' Overworld books.

They released the Wendy's one didn't they?
