Critical Role Do you Critical Role?

So while I have not watched a single episode, I do want to start some day. I just haven't had the spare time to start watching that with everything else going on in my life currently.

I feel ya. I want to re-watch the Briarwoods arc, but it's such a huge time commitment. Hundreds of hours. WHO HAS HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF FREE TIME in this economy?

What do you mean by "staged"? Do you believe the show to be pre-scripted?

No idea. But that's not what I meant.

It is a stage performance for an audience, done by people who make their living acting (or so I'm understanding). It is completely different than 99% of the D&D games out there being played.

While they occasionally have a session in front of a live audience, as do other streaming shows (such as Acq. Inc.) the vast majority are simply streamed. I think you’re assuming more artifice than there is, they’re simply very good at improve and voices and are very good friends who having been playing together for a long time.

I get the impression that many people assume this group formed to cash in on the popularity of D&D, which it did not.

But, sure, it’s not your thing and that’s cool.
