And I personally think that’s something I believe Critical Role has in common with adult cinema - that it is primarily being produced for the audience’s entertainment, and secondarily may be enjoyable for the cast as well, but if it comes down to it, the audience’s enjoyment takes priority. I may be wrong about that. The audience’s enjoyment may actually be a secondary priority, with the cast’s enjoyment being the primary one. That’s something we can only really speculate about. Regardless of the order of priorities though, the fact that entertaining a passive audience is a priority at all sets it apart from most home D&D games in a way that I believe is significant.Yeah, the Harlem Globetrotters are… a much weaker analogy. I only used it because it’s less fraught with baggage than adult cinema.Yeah, I do think whether entertaining the audience or enjoying themselves rakes precedent is a matter open for debate. While I suspect the former is the priority, I could absolutely be wrong about that. But again, the fact that entertaining the audience is a priority at all, I think, makes a significant difference compared to home games.</blockquote>
