[QUOTE="Myrdin Potter, post: 7768161, member: 6843593"] I DM a fair amount of AL in a store and a decent number of new players have only watched CR and that is how they think D&D should be played. I tip my hat to Matt Mercer, I have only partially watched a few episodes but I think he is a good DM. I am not him and I don’t run my game the way he does, and instead of dismissing the new players wish to play how they think it should be done, I just mention that every DM and group has their own style and they add to it by the way they play as well. Matt seems to get this question pretty often and he is often out at events and meeting fans. I have never seen him being anything but gracious and supportive of other DMs and DMing styles. I have been DMing for over 40 years and I learn a few things from watching him, he is particularly good in painting the scenes and drawing his players out to add their own details. I am glad that Matt and his game are there, just like I am glad my 21 year old daughter is coming into her own as a DM her way and style which is not the same as mine. [/QUOTE]
