Honestly, for a lot of those lines, I forgot he was a game developer and thought he was working in a private medical clinic in the US like me...

Four players. Human Rogue (Mastermind) Human Rogue (Thief) Human Rogue (TBD) Human Sorcerer They've just taken over management of an inn as cover for their presence in the city.

Book of Fiends: As much as I like Green Ronin, pass. I don't need demons and devils for my D&D game. Exalted Vale: Already Backed Mineralogy Manual: On the Fence. Looks cool, but will I use it? The synopsis reminds me of one 80s cartoon in particular...

How did they miss calling it "GenConline?" Trademark!

Nice. I'll send something this weekend. It's a location of some importance in my newest game, so I wanted it mapped for my use in Roll20, and... well... I am terrible and have no patience. :)

You had to do it again...

Heck yeah. Okay, the drinking problem was a joke I tried to play off. But many people become upset when we fall short. Work, play, life, it doesn't matter. If I run a session which is an utter disaster and it's my fault? Yes, I will be that upset. I haven't fallen THAT far short in a long...

Do you take commissions? Or... ideas? I have something I'd like mapped and I suck too hard to do my own.

I do think the GM has a slightly larger share of the responsibility. He has more control, after all. But yes, the GM is a player, and every player owes the group their best efforts to keep things fun. I think most of us get that upset on occasion. The trick is to get past it, get some...

Stop doing these! You're making me spend all my fun money!

Angry Old Man is my default setting. But I do an... enthusiastic Scots, a vaugely Slavic Slavic accent, and a simply fantastic "I want you to think I'm German" accent. I also do a decent southern accent but that's from time spent in the south as a youth.

Trouble is, I'm one of those old geezers. Of course, people are free to use whatever criteria they like in choosing a game to join. But "Just in case X" is a terrible reason. "Oh, I don't want to join your game because there might be [whatever], instead of "Hey does this game have [whatever]?"...

I'm with you on the streaming. No, thanks. For my money, having read up on it, if the Mercer Effect inspires players to let go a little, to try that accent even though accents aren't your thing, to compose a little song, to describe a stupidly over the top action, then all to the good. Let...

I ran into a weird variation of this problem when I first offered my game. As mentioned before, it's set in Tal'Dorei. A prospective player worried I might be trying to imitate Mercer and warned me against trying and to be wary of the Mercer Effect. His approach was as some old hand talking to a...

I became a fan of the world when I joined a game set in Tal'Dorei (the setting of Critical Role's first series). The GM used a lot of the history, and explained where he got it from. I started listening to the podcast (I know they're on Twitch, but it's easier to listen to a podcast at work and...

The majority of my gaming was already online, so I won't count it. The group my wife and son and daughter are in, and another group my son is in, and another group my daughter is in, have all moved online.

I traded some games on the forums I used to frequent so get a look at the core 4e books. Read 'em, traded them forward.

When 3.0 came out, I'd already stopped playing D&D. BUT... one of my favorite game authors at the time (Tweet) had been hired to work on 3.0, AND my brother worked for WotC. So, when he gave me basically all the books for Christmas, I gave 'em a read. I liked some of the changes I saw, but I'd...

This is where I ended up a few years after becoming a dad. She's still responsible for her actions, but I can see how losing your child, especially to suicide, would screw you up all over. I nearly lost my daughter and I was a mental case for the hours she was in surgery.
