Not having watched much Critical Role before this season, I'm kind of curious about all the tablets being used. Do they all use D&D Beyond or something for their characters?

I think you might still be able to get a free month by using the code OVERTURE during sign-up. That'll, at least, get you a chance to watch a couple more Cooldowns to see how much you like them.

The Cooldowns, so far, have been incredible adjuncts to the main material presented in the show. It's also kind of fun getting to watch all the cast members stand around and discuss what just happened OOC. Along with being able to watch the episodes at my leisure makes it worth the subscription.

My gaming group (five people with me included) have always been aware of Critical Role but have never really sat down and watched any episodes. Sure, we caught some youtube clips here and there, but never the full experience. We are now fully invested in Season 4 (well, four out of five of us...

I have not, I didn't even get any sort of confirmation. Wonder if they're doing it manually?

Maybe we should help them along by pointing out systems that have done justice to Swashbuckling play and suggest why they'd be good for 7th Sea. I'd guess that we'd need to consider magic systems as well. Are there any systems out there right now that would do 7th Sea perfectly in your eyes?

Through three sessions it hasn't been an issue for our group. All of the players make it a point to ensure that everyone has a turn and feels involved. A couple of times, I've chimed in as the GM and asked a quieter player what they'd like to do, but it hasn't been as necessary as I thought it...

This is actually the first time that I've spent a large amount of time watching the Critical Role team do their thing (never really had the time to get into it before) and I enjoy it greatly, but, as others have pointed out, the lack of game knowledge from the players is, I think, constraining...

In some ways, I think that your immediate environment can have a big effect on player fear levels. Two examples that I was personally involved in; About 40 years ago we were playing Call of Cthulhu one night. We were up in Maine, on the coast, in a relatively small, converted boat house. There...

That's awesome that you have players like that! I did ask one of my players and he said, "The only thing is that I'd miss is being able to see the other players die rolls and partaking in the excitement of that, especially in tense situations."

Thanks for the answer! Miro looks like a great tool. You mention your players enjoying the act of rolling dice, does that mean that you played offline or did you use video conferencing as well?

Has anyone attempted to play online yet? And, if so, how did you do it? Demiplane and Roll20 or some other combination? I'm not interested in Roll20 in the least bit, but I don't see anything out yet for Foundry (I know there's people working hard on this at the moment), Fantasy Grounds, or...

That's too bad. I'd been looking at buying a bunch of earlier issues when my finances straightened out. Reading some of this stuff from 40-50 years ago is like a trip trough history. Wish there was some way of preserving it. I'd also give my left foot to get a hold of old Wild Hunt issues. I...

Good way to do it. Thanks for the help, Falkus! Looking forward to starting up my campaign as soon as my book arrives.

Excellent. Thank you, Falkus. Are you using the Pathfinder version to convert?
