    Critical Role Wildemount: Most Pre-orders Since D&D Core Rulebooks

    I mean, I guess it's possible they could do just standalone adventure paths set in the world but... there isn't really much precedent for that yet save for FR because that's been the "default" setting so far? But so far their books have kinda followed the "part setting guide, part adventure"...

    Critical Role Wildemount: Most Pre-orders Since D&D Core Rulebooks

    If it makes you feel any better, it's highly unlikely you'd see another CR book for at least a few years. They're still playing campaign 2 and even if they finished up and campaign 3 started later this year, they're not going to release a new campaign guide as soon as it starts up. It took two...

    D&D General On gatekeeping and the 'live-streaming edition wars'

    You would think that would go without saying, right? It's not like there's going to be a big sticker on the cover of the book saying "HEY! IF YOU DON'T WATCH STREAMING ACTUAL PLAY SHOWS, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THIS!" There will be people who pick it up just because they're interested to see...

    D&D General On gatekeeping and the 'live-streaming edition wars'

    I'm just trying to imagine the hypothetical person who is going to read "Create your own Critical Role campaign with this sourcebook" and think that means "Reading this book will impart years of acting and improv training on me, automagically."

    D&D General On gatekeeping and the 'live-streaming edition wars'

    Ahhh yes, because if there's a company that has overextended itself, it's... checks notes ...the D&D arm of WotC that people have been criticizing for the last five years for being too slow and measured with their release schedule... :confused:

    D&D General On gatekeeping and the 'live-streaming edition wars'

    Except... it's not. And you'll forgive the presumption since the tone and tenor of the same argument you've been making from thread to thread about this new book kinda says exactly the opposite. And we're RIGHT BACK to that baseless strawman presumption that there is no overlap between "CR...

    D&D General On gatekeeping and the 'live-streaming edition wars'

    This idea is predicated on the assumption that CR viewers are viewers only and don't play. It's a blatantly wrong assumption. Like, orders of magnitude levels of wrong. Even if, say, totally hypothetically, that 30% of CR viewers don't play at all and have no intention to whatsoever, are you...

    Critical Role The New D&D Book Is 'The Explorer's Guide to [Critical Role's] Wildemount!' By Matt Mercer

    Just gonna toss my two cents into this since I've been lurking these forums for years and only just now registered to chime in. Been playing since the end of 1e. I'm in my 40s and a literal greybeard (it started going grey about five years ago and now it's about 50% of the way there) and I am...

    D&D General Music and ambiance -- how important are they to your D&D experience?

    I'm definitely a fan. One of my formative memories was playing a 2e game with a group of people I had hooked up with through online local BBSes (ahhh there's a dated reference). The DM didn't go super over the top - he just played some appropriate nature sounds at the right time. I remember...

    D&D General Welcome Thread

    Hello Hello! Loooooooong-time lurker, first-time poster here. It's honestly super weird to finally be wading into the forums after years and years of just reading threads and talking myself out of actually participating every time I've considered it. I feel like I know a huge chunk of you so...
