[QUOTE="borringman, post: 9412280, member: 7040288"] I suppose I'm weird and dumb but the vibe I got from what little I've watched of CR is that I can't possibly imagine [I]what[/I] they'd script. Probably the weirdest thing to me is, despite being VAs by trade, they're typical gamers almost to a fault. I kind of expected VAs to have more professionalism and flair for the dramatic, but from what I've seen, it's so authentic that it's almost painful to watch. The PCs are your bog standard "Cantina Effect" D&D pick-and-mix. Like any other DM, most of the time Mercer alternates between waiting patiently as the players get their snarky jokes out of their systems, and doing his darndest to hold everything together. I've jumped around trying to find the "scripted" parts people talk about, but my biggest takeaway was Mercer is a remarkably patient DM. I dunno, I didn't watch much (TBH I didn't see the point) and my perspective could be off, having gamed with thespians in the past. If it's scripted, they're very meticulously performing [I]very[/I] typical D&D sessions. Which. . . what would be the point? [/QUOTE]
