[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8394073, member: 6879661"] So just throwing this out there. We’ve bumped the old school DMs and are down to the Internet personalities and streamers (with CP falling into both camps) Celeste/venture maidens 2,470 subscribers on you tube. Jasmine/Shikar 4,200 subscribers Dice Camera Action 330,000 subscribers Matt Colville 385,000 subscribers Matt Mercer/Critical Role 1,360,000 subscribers [I]I’ve referenced subscribers because that indicates not just how many people watch a video but how many like it enough to want to watch more.[/I] Now I get that a lot of people don’t equate popularity with quality (though all things being equal it’s a damned big indicator) but there is a world of difference of the scale of operations between these entries. I can certainly be critical of Matt Mercer, but there is no arguing with what he’s built. He’s released his campaign world as a finished product and no doubt will release more. If Perkins gets knocked out soon (which seems likely, despite his impact on 5e, editing the best years of dungeon magazine, excellent curse of strahd adventure and brilliant DMing skills) then I’m doing a u-turn and throwing my weight behind Matt Mercer. I’ll be downvoting Celeste and Jasmine, not because they aren’t good… they clearly are. They just aren’t in the same league yet. If it comes down to the Matt’s, then I’m still gonna stick with Mercer. For all we talk about the Mercer effect he added to the sum total of ranting videos on internet for which he has my thanks.
