D&D General D&D Live Play Dimension 20 At Madison Square Garden

Popular Dungeons & Dragons livestream Dimension 20 will be appearing live at New York's famous Madison Square Garden next year.

The one-night-only game will take place on January 24th 2025, and will be called Gauntlet at the Garden. It will feature six of the series' regular cast--Emily Axford, Ally Beardsley, Brian Murphy, Zac Oyama, Siobhan Thompson, and Lou Wilson, with Brendan Lee Mulligan as the GM. Tickets will go on sale this Friday.

Madison Square Garden is a multi-purpose arena in New York and has a capacity of about 20,000 people. Last year, Critical Role played Wembley Arena in London.

12000 is a far cry from "millions" claimed, and Critical Role viewing numbers are about the same 12000 and dropping according the CBR and their daughter channel, offspring channel?, The Character Sheet on Youtube.

Hasbro recently claimed something like 50 million D&D players worldwide. I am pretty sure 12000 of 50 million is well less than 1%.

Thanks for providing some form of number, however useful it turns out to be in further discussion.

Oh, and chess is like FIFA or NFL, watched mostly on TV than attending the actual event. So venue size is again meaningless if nobody watches live at the event more than would normally watch when streamed.

I stand by, the masses are not interested in watching people play tabletop games. They are more of a niche within a niche within a niche rather than the norm.

I can't tell if you are trolling, lying or extremely uninformed. it is totally okay for watching people play D&D to not be your thing. It is even okay for you to be dismissive of it. but if you are going to make claims about numbers, you should at least pop over to YouTube and see how many views the most recent episode of CR has (about 112k as of this post). And YT isn't even their primary venue.

People DO want to see people play D&D, demonstrably, in numbers far more than 12K.

spectator sport​

noun​

1
: a sport (such as football, baseball, ice hockey, etc.) that many people watch

2
: something that people watch other people do without becoming involved themselves

Is there a number threshold?
We watch people cook, dance, renovate houses, lay dominoes, race marbles and act like fools in general.
At what point does something that you don't care for meet your arbitrary goal post?

Can't people like things that you don't without having to prove to you that it's a thing?

112k of 50m, is still less than 1%, correct?

50m, is just the D&D playerbase that Hasbro reported, not the entirety of TRPG hobby gamers.

What are you on about? If fewer people watch CR than watch the average NFL game, is that your metric for failure? Exactly how many people who have to enjoy live play RPGs for it to be a valid form of entertainment for you?

NFL was mentioned in regard to a venue size and the limit that could attend like Wimbledom, and has no further context other than external viewing. You are hung up on a small example, and missing what is being said.

And you completely dodged my question.

This isn't true.

You were the first to bring up the NFL. The reference was to Wembley Arena, an arena that hosts things like darts and concerts, and holds 12,000. That's not the NFL. That's not Wimbledon.

Yes, and it was about the size of the venue, which you quoted at 400 attendees. I nay have also mentioned NFL in regards to betting on a TPK, but this still also misses the point as others have chimed in, they do NOT enjoy watching other people play games.

But it seems to offend you 2 highly, that not everyone is interested in what you are, and this silliness has drug on far to long, where others could be talking about the specific event this thread was about, NOT whether everyone enjoys such a thing. Good day, Sir!

Okay, so definitely trolling. Good to know.

No, the 400 was in reference to the World Chess Championship, which you brought up. It was not a reference to the NFL (as you now claim), nor to Wimbledon (another of your claims), nor to Wembley (another weird claim).
