None of which are TTRPGs. Darrington hasn't done much at all. That Ukotoa game reviewed pretty badly. This new card game supposedly is pretty good, but honestly the commercial they filmed for it completely turned me off to even trying it.

I wouldn't consider these forums to be representative of the Critical Role fanbase. They are diehard. I would say that their fandom to the show and the creators far outweighs their fandom to a system: most are probably just playing some version or iteration of the show, whether that's in the...

The overwhelming majority of Critical Role's fanbase are people who never played TTRPGs before: their loyalty isn't to the system but to the show. They'll follow the CR team wherever they go. And any new viewers are almost guaranteed to be people in the same boat, so like @elawai said, they're...

That's awesome! I don't think I could ever justify the cost of airfare and hotel to attend that. I'll have to hope PAX Unplugged sticks around in perpetuity. :)

I'm curious what the growth of the Critical Role user base is. I'd be surprised if viewer numbers are still exploding at anywhere near the levels from years ago. It'll definitely put this game in front of some people before they even know what D&D is, but how much will that really be? I'm also...

Any mention of them finally supporting homebrew classes, homebrew non-magical items, custom languages, etc.?

I thought that the movie was great. I liked that it had dramatic moments, but didn't take itself too seriously... that it had humorous moments, but didn't fall into the trap of wink-wink nudge-nudge making fun of the source material. I thought the action sequences played out pretty well. I think...

I can attest to this. I got a Meta Quest 2 right after Thanksgiving, but I never really had a chance to play anything on it until I finally tried out Resident Evil 4 a few nights ago. Things were okay at first, but the action started picking up and I found myself rotating around, turning my...

Also, what are you searching on? One thing I noticed was that for some reason when I did a search in Acrobat for "One D&D", one of the instances didn't show up, even though it was clearly the text "One D&D". I've seen this weird behavior in the past with some PDF documents, perhaps something to...

Last paragraph of left column on the first page of that document:

I don't know what to tell you. I'm looking at it right now.

Given that they added a bunch of new conditions, I'm skeptical that's the reason...

It does. All previous packets reference "the One D&D Unearthed Arcana series". This new one is the first that calls it "the Unearthed Arcana series". Additionally, the previous packets had a callout titled "What's ahead in the One D&D Playtest" in the Feedback section, whereas this new one uses...

It's not a new change. The only one that included that was the first playtest packet. The two previous ones used PHB 2014 rules for critical hits, and this one simply doesn't even mention them at all.

I don't think that we can say they're the same at all there. We of course don't know exactly what Black Flag's classes are going to be like, but I'd be very surprised if they took anything like One D&D's approach and completely changed the progression structure. Assuming that they do stick with...

I tentatively disagree, again based on lack of knowledge of what updates we're going to see. Adding another subclass progression level to a class is a fundamental enough change to impact compatibility. I don't see them doing something like that. I could see them maybe beefing up existing class...

SO One D&D should be a system that would work for you, mechanically, since there are fundamental mechanical changes made to the classes, but it's "backwards compatible" in terms of monsters, lore, adventures, magic items, etc. with just potentially a bit of rebalancing needed (acknowledging that...

If proprietary dice are just regularly shaped dice just with symbols rather than numbers or pips, then it shouldn't be difficult for dice rollers to handle them: you'd just need a table in your system that maps a particular roll to a unique symbol. It also shouldn't be difficult for something...

I think it really depends on what those small changes end up being. If we look at this first document, for example, none of the changes proposed within break any sort of compatibility with 5E. They have class-specific talents, and so does 5E. They take a singular "race" artifact and split it...

From what I've heard from multiple sources, it boils down to the particular architecture they went with, one that the current team has been actively trying to refactor (or perhaps rebuild from scratch) for at least a couple of years now. It sounded like there was some serious tech debt they...
