[QUOTE="phantomK9, post: 7768342, member: 6790724"] As a fan of Critical Role....I have the exact opposite problem from the original poster.... As a background, I've been DMing (D&D as well as many other games) for 25 or years before the first episode of Critical Role even went up. And I've been gaming with the same group since the mid 90's. Funny thing is, that while I've watched every episode (as well as a dozen more D&D podcasts) NOT A SINGLE ONE OF MY PLAYERS watches any of them, nothing. I've mentioned to them how much fun they are (especially Critical Role) and I'm met with blank stares and questions like, "Why would I want to watch someone else play D&D?". I will say that my style of DM'ing is fairly similar to Matt Mercer's but of course I don't have his acting chops. Fortunately for me, watching Critical Role has helped to break me out of shell I didn't even know I've had and the gaming sessions at my table have definitely been improved in the past few years. Hell we are going on a currently just over 3 year long campaign right now and the players are having a blast (and so am I). :) [/QUOTE]
