[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 7768128, member: 6667921"] Here's my take. The story isn't about how or if gamers should deal with unrealistic expectations influenced by something done on TV or YouTube. It is about how Matt Mercer mindfully and respectfully addressed the community as a whole about this nonsensical issue, and in a way that was without ego, or offensive, or even shaming... you know, the way most things are handled on the internet these days. And rather than praise or thank Mercer for his actions and how he has handled it, we think of more bandaid fixes to protect the people of the internet, aka the real victims!, from more ego bruises and invisible boo-boos. And we all know the solution for this. It is the same as it always has been, and always will be. Talk with your players. Set expectations as a group. If you can't agree on a decision and won't be happy with group, then find others who are more in step with you. We are not all voice actors. We don't belong on a show. And we don't play for an audience except each other at the table. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
