[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7768139, member: 6919838"] I agree and have described it as reminding me of the olde school radio plays. It's a strange medium- story voiced with props plus gsme mechanics and acting- all around. But as someone who not infrequently **sees** movie sequences and maps gsme mechanics onto them, this "radio play with rolls and stats" seems perfectly natural to me. It's not gonna be yo everyone liking, anymore than a golfing one-on-one PPV would be or a musical- but it foes strike me how many of the "cant understand how anyone likes it" comments on the various nets etc remind me of older days reactions to RPGs and their players before nerdy became cool. But, again, this "you game is not like..," is an old problem, not a new one. 90k+ watched live the debut of season 2 CR on twitch alone - no idea about the other platforms and YouTube posts later. That's cool in my book. CR added new faces to my table - so that's great. Since I GMed my first campaign before Matt Mercer was conceived, I sin't sweating it either as like everything else- I can learn and steal from him too to give better game. [/QUOTE]
