[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 7578441, member: 50987"] I haven't observed this happening, but it doesn't surprise me. The prevailing attitude in certain corners of the Internet is that the success of others is a threat to your own. But what I can tell you is this: Last week, at the top of [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA0rVPoBK5E&t=370s"]their show[/URL], Matt Mercer urged his fans to support other projects. They don't sound like they are trying to take anything away from small, indy RPGs with the success of their Kickstarter. Quite the contrary: it sounds more like they would like to use their success as a platform to boost the others up. And it's working. The comment section of the "Legend of Vox Machina" Kickstarter is riddled with links to other smaller Kickstarters that need funding. If you follow those links, you will see Critters leaving pledges and comments at those other Kickstarters as well. Even other fantasy film projects, like the [URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zombieorpheus/strowlers-three-new-stories/comments"]Strowlers Kickstarter[/URL]. I'm sure there are people online who are upset at Critical Role for the attention they are getting. But I can't bring myself to hate on a bunch of fun-loving and good-hearted people who want to help the hobby grow. (shrug) [/QUOTE]
