[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9468836, member: 11760"] I think Critical Role looks a lot less mysterious when you see Dimension 20 during a season heavy on the improv folks from College Humor/Dropout, especially once the show gets a good budget. Strong improv skills, an awareness that this is a performance rather than a home game, the knowledge that they're making 20+ hours of content for an average campaign, good DMs who have put in all sorts of work beforehand, as well as great lighting, great sound, great miniatures and battle maps, etc. There's a reason these people are professional performers. If Critical Role and Dimension 20 [I]didn't[/I] make a lot of it appear effortless, it would be shocking. And yeah, anyone who's ever done any kind of performing knows that these large casts aren't memorizing hours of scripts for each episodes and executing them flawlessly. They just have a lot of advantages -- the product of a lot of hard work in their day jobs -- that most groups won't ever have. [/QUOTE]
