[QUOTE="Xotli, post: 8369426, member: 6687247"] Sure, I agree that few players are going to be watching [I]all[/I] the content. But I was just pointing out that [I]if[/I] we accept that streaming is bringing in a majority of the new players, they have to be watching [I]something[/I]. :-) They can't all be watching Critical Role. Maybe some of them checked out [I]Relics & Rarities[/I] because they knew DAW from her acting. Maybe some of them got exposed to B. Dave Walters because they play Idle Champions. Following any number of Twitch streamers (e.g. Jasmine Bhullar, Nathan Sharp, dozens of others) could have led them to D&D. So, no: the majority of the new players don't know any given one of those folks. But I bet the majority of them know at [I]least[/I] one of them, even if we throw out Mercer. ;) Not yet. But he did mention in the Q&A for Arcadia #6 that they're working on a second one, hopefully to be released before year's end ... Wait, I thought your viewpoint was that they [I]didn't[/I] start with a bad design ... :LOL: Awesome! While I deeply suspect that the job I have now is the one I'll retire from, I would welcome a DM with a job listing, just to check out what's out there. :-) [/QUOTE]
