    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    As for this being rich people getting richer, I'm not their accountant, but I think it'd be an awfully safe bet that they make the majority of their income from their actual careers as voice actors and directors. Critical Role has increased their popularity and visibility, and they are making...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    This actually was a very accurate prediction... until they announced they would be doing the Briarwoods Arc. That sped it back up again and they wound up hitting $6M Thursday afternoon. It will be very interesting in the next few days to see how the KickTraq data looks on number of backers and...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Kickstarter is not a store. It's to fund projects people want to support. The fact that it has shifted towards being a pre-order storefront for some projects is moving away from it's purpose. The benefit of crowdfunding over pre-orders is that it measures depth of support. So if you are selling...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Definitely sounds reasonable. They had a Q&A stream last night where they mentioned being at Emerald City Comic Con to reveal more info and make a push there, but with how big it hit, there's not likely to be many who would back but haven't heard of it. Maybe it'll kick up the excitement to tip...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    The Emmy is for voice direction, I think. But, yeah, they are definitely familiar with the entire process. I just know seasoned show runners and producers have said 12 episode and similar length seasons are far more reasonable and lend themselves to higher quality than classic 22 episode...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    And in the Kickstarter video, they mention a rate of $30-50,000 per minute. Considering KS fees, rewards, etc. even with stretch goals, they look to be planning $750k per episode. So a 22 episode season would be about $16,500,000 through this Kickstarter. Probably a 12 episode season might be...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Well, it only took just over 4 hours to hit the Top 100 Kickstarters of all time! Also, they do state that it's aiming to make an animated series, not a movie. If it (very unlikely) fizzles out at "only" 3 or 4 22-minute segments funded, I could see them bundling it into a single movie-length...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Considering WotC is promoting the Kickstarter on the official D&D twitter account, I'm guessing one way or another, all legal & copyright issues are taken care of. I'm really excited for this! Plus, several of the stretch goals are some really interesting one-shots, so that's extra bonus to...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The Artificer Is Here! & UA Schedule Changes

    It's funny, just a couple weeks ago I wondered about pretty much this exact magic item in response to an episode of Critical Role. When Nott was trapped alone with the fire giants coming after her, I thought this would be a perfect situation to be able to pass Caleb's Transmuter's Stone (which...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The Artificer Is Here! & UA Schedule Changes

    It only grants 1 single PC advantage (only on ability checks) up to Int mod times within the next hour OR 2d6 temp hit points only 3/day. So it’s pretty narrowly defined.

    Who's Multiclassing With Who? More D&D Beyond Stats!

    If I understand that chart right, that's out of all multiclass characters. So the fact that there are FAR more fighters and rogues than warlocks and bards overall, would cause those to rise up quite a bit. Also, honestly, I really like bards and a I really like warlocks, but thematically...

    Who's Multiclassing With Who? More D&D Beyond Stats!

    As TwoSix pointed out, warlock/bard is least popular *of those shown*, which is the top 10. So it’s actually quite popular as you figured.

    RPG Writer Zak S Accused Of Abusive Behaviour

    Ok, counterexample - Google Larry Nassar to see just how well those wonderful impartial systems worked until 1 woman was brave enough to go public. (Sounds familiar) Those impartial systems supposedly “developed over the course of millennia” (WTH does that nonsense even mean???) failed...

    RPG Writer Zak S Accused Of Abusive Behaviour

    I believe his “ethics by proximity” comment is not in reference to being more focused on a problem in our community, but more in response to the (multiple) statements of “it doesn’t affect anyone I personally know, so it’s not my concern” which takes the idea that ethics are local to an...

    RPG Writer Zak S Accused Of Abusive Behaviour

    Thanks. Definitely didn’t want to keep making it about me, but when they say something so easily proved false, it’s hard not to call them on it. But it also proves that I should spend more time with my Ignore List than trying to take these disingenuous arguments seriously.

    Speaking of “fake news”, quote where I spread these fake situations against Zak.
