That makes sense, as Big Bang Theory predates 5e by many years. But I'm pretty sure they switched to 5e by the later seasons. Certainly...

But that's my point, it wasn't just Critical Role, it was many other references, mentions etc. And then there's the chicken and egg...

My thoughts on the start of Campaign 4 are that while I generally don’t think most Actual Plays are scripted, I personally felt like...
