[QUOTE="Eilathen, post: 7751170, member: 51843"] I disagree with Jester David...at least partially. I think that the first campaign was stronger by the time we hit 20-ish episodes. That the beginning wasn't as...smooth...is because campaign 1 did not have the chance to be streamed from the beginning (it was a home-game for a while) so that is not a fair comparison. My gripe with the new campaign is that (and that is very much personal taste...but what isn't, after all?!) it has way too much comic relief. The only character/actor pairing that i like better than before is Fjord/Travis. All the other players had a better connection with their respective campaign 1 characters and it was a much more serious playstyle (which i like a loooot better). I just don't think that the group composition works as well as it did with VM. Matt is still a stellar GM, though and i love how he breathes life into the setting and his NPCs, so that stays, at least. I do wonder if Marisha can also play characters who are not weird/abrasive/awkward ... i mean i liked Keyleth, but i'd love to see her playing something a little more at home in social interactions. And just to make it clear - I still think CR is up there with the best of AP streams! I just think that the first campaign was in almost all respects better than the second (so far, at least). But i guess it is hard to follow such a strong start. So maybe my expectations were a little too high?! [/QUOTE]
