I would assume they already know and are gearing up to start recording. And then when they announce setting and system in September they have some clips of it.

Critical Role Sets Brennan Lee Mulligan as Game Master for Next Core Campaign as He Signs New Three-Year Deal With Dropout (EXCLUSIVE) Need to have something to announce closer to actual start of the campaign.

Oh I agree. It's a mess and shapeshifter is being handled by the transformations so that's out from the class already IMO. But yeah, I think it's more of a monster hunter class than the ranger subclass, and I do think more melee classes would be good. I'm interested to see how it has changed...

I think Todd is freelance rather than Darrington employee, but someone should snatch him up. He's really good at doing PR interviews and WotC laying him off like that was a huge mistake on their part.

As far as a niche goes, a witcher class will speak a lot to a specific subset of players. And hopefully it will not be a glass cannon such as the 5e version.

Let Brian have some rest, man. He's worked enough and taken far too many GM shifts covering for others!

Because the sad reality is that if you put it up on preorder on the store, a lot of people will go "nah, I'll wait until it's released." And that will not give them the numbers they need for printing them — and that's the big issue considering that they keep selling out copies. A kickstarter...

This is very localised because I still don't get why you would want to play rpgs in a store and have never seen one do it. Magic duels and stuff like that, yes, but actual campaigns? A pub in the afternoons is a less noisy and more comfortable option.

It's also a new rpg book that hasn't any connection to previous IP. You really don't want to sit on 10 000 copies when you sold 1000. This caught everyone unawares and there's a shortage everywhere. I don't think a single copy has reached the stores in Sweden — only CR's EU shop.

There's a difference between getting equipment in game and writing it down because you have an idea that you might need it, and the stuff that you get from the equipment packs. No-one knows what's in the backpack after character creation.

Sounds like any random group of players to me.

Sure it is but in a dramaturgical way rather than random. And it's way more inline with the grimdark literary genre it's inspired by, things go to naughty word and the main character get's mangled but they do survive. The disconnect is that some people believe that death is the only consequence that...

I did see some people complain that Age of Umbra wasn't enough soulslike, and I'm sitting here going "no, it's way more deadly." A soulslike ttrpg should have unlimited respawns when you die.

If deadliness is only defied on character actually dying during the game rather than how the rules interact, then Call of Cthulhu isn't particular deadly at all. Seeing people go "It's gone X sessions and no-one has died!!1!" from the start makes me think people don't care about how players...

Yes. And shares a lot of people with the later show in the same city, the Wire.

It's a bit like when Showtime decided to cancel Odyssey 5 because "we're not interested in science fiction right now" despite it was their number one show ratingswise.

Max Headroom has aged surprisingly well — the channel 4 movie more so than the tv-show. And while I personally don't consider it old, Farscape is 25 years or so now. Still amazing. (A friend and I are currently rewatching Homicide: Life In the Streets. Recommended if you haven't as it deal...

Callan. Edward Woodward as a spy who shouldn't be out in the field because he's already broken as heck. And yet his bosses keep using him. Unfortunately a lot of episodes are missing.

Sandbaggers was the number one inspiration for Greg Rucka's Queen & Country comic — a bit less cold war than the Sandbaggers tv show obviously. Both highly recommended.

Google TV. The older version with less storage and no Ethernet port. It has most of the apps (including Kodi for NAS-access and Deezer/spotify for music) and the remote can handle soundbar and tv on/off. And I can take it with me quite easily.
