Several ways, actually. https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/The_Campaign_of_Vox_Machina https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/Campaign_2:_The_Mighty_Nein These contain synopses of the various sessions for both the first and second campaigns, broken into rough "chapters." (ignore the chapter1-8...

In a different vein, would anyone here argue that people who only watch the streaming shows aren't real D&D fans? There used to be similar arguments a couple of decades ago about people who only read the D&D novels (e.g. Dragonlance or Forgotten Realms novels.) Personally, while I think such...

When you say, "non-setting content", are you speaking of mechanical content, or mechanical content that doesn't reference setting-specific IP? If we're talking mechanics as a whole, Eberron has a BOATLOAD of mechanical material included, probably 50 pages worth or more. However, if you're...

I’m reminded of the joke about the hot tub from Campaign 1, involving the characters Percy and Vex’halia - the person laughing loudest in the room was probably Travis. There’s a LOT of trust both professional and personal in that group, and not every group will have it - and that’s perfectly...

this is perhaps the most important part to me. With the exception of Eberron, practically every popular game setting followed this path, even outside of D&D. Shane Hensley’s Deadlands? Homebrew. Varisia in Golarion? James Jacobs’ homebrew. Ed Greenwood? Prior to Exandria, perhaps the most famous...

A deep-cut like that belongs in the AG&G (Advanced Gatekeeping & Grognards) Player’s Handbook! Well done! (My AD&D Druid was too much of a chicken to challenge the higher druids...)

Three stars, mate! OH! You’re... serious?...😯 They made like 10 million dollars on a kickstarter in a month! They’re breaking sales records on a barely-announced book! Heck, I’m planning to buy a copy and I haven’t even preordered! I’m... not sure there‘s anything else to say.

To be fair, as good a voice mimic as Mercer is, he could probably do a spot-on Wiseau impression. “I did not hit her! I DID NOT! oh, hi, Mark.” Then again, when he used to have the full beard and mustache going, friends and I used to jokingly call him “D&D Jesus.” 😁

Speaking as another graybeard who cut his teeth on Moldvay Basic at age 10, I look forward to Critical Role on Thursday nights after family time in the same way other people look forward to NFL Sundays. There are always cliques in hobbies, and for us it’s now the roughly three million...

Lenina Huxley: Oh, and the joyjoy way you paused to make a glib witticism before doing battle with that strangely-weaponed Scrap, it was so, so... John Spartan: (losing it) Hey, this isn't the Wild West! The Wild West wasn't even the Wild West!

I think it started as intended as medieval fantasy, but along the way, the kitchen sinks tossed in by every player group turned it very early on into something all its own. Heck, even Gary was tossing in Shaolin monks, starships, and sixguns within three years of initial publication!

I honestly wouldn’t have put it past Ed to have named it for an innuendo back in the day, cool name notwithstanding. ;)

Hell of a thing to happen at the end of a year. :( I hope the best outcome for all the staff involved.

Could be that key personnel are out of the office at the moment and not due to return until the 13th?

Our group pretty much dropped Starfinder in favor of both PF2 and 5E. If they ever revise Starfinder, I hope something changes about the “leveled” weapon system and its damage dice - it personally feels like the chunkiest part of an otherwise pretty smooth system. I still think damage dice...

You could also use the creed of “always being of service to others.” They don’t do good because “that’s what heroes do,” they do it because they are fulfilled when they help others or answer their calling.

I see it as just one more creative outlet, nothing wrong with it in the slightest (unless someone were neglecting upkeep or family in pursuit of their game purchases, of course). Just from your description, it sounds like you use it as creative fuel just for envisioning the world described in...

All this sounds positively Gygaxian to me. :)

In the New Year, may you all get what you want, but only if it’s better than what you deserve. :giggle:
