No it isn't. The current season of Critical Role for instance. Many of the "players" really come across as playing to the...

Most of the people are literally actors who do improv on a regular basis. Of course they're going to be more polished, but to me they...

Yeah, Dice, Camera, Action, the original WoTC 5e podcast also really had that feel - and it worked great! If the new one even...
