I play a lot of OSR games and have played every single edition of D&D.I'm also a Critter. Love me some Critical Role and thinks it's the BEST thing about D&D since Mystara was first created.I love that not only can i play D&D when I want but I can listen to it as well when i'm working or on a long drive. I love the setting of Exandria as well.The folks at Critical Role are real good people and frankly a lot of fun to watch.If someone doesn't like the show or their products, it's all good. I got no beef with that. To each his own.I do think a lot of what I have seen is people just being people.You know you have a hobby you love for 50 years, some people feel like they know that hobby. Inside and out. They ARE that hobby.They got their fingers on the pulse of things because they are the pulse of things.Then things change. Change with them or you get left behind. Nobody likes getting left behind. So people get angry. Change is bad when you loved how it was and never expected it to change and then it did and you don't even get Why!Critical Role changed D&D. For better or for worse depending on where you sit but either way it's different.Critical Role is the Tiger Woods of D&D. Things are just different now.But it's still the same game, Heck you can even keep playing the same edition you did before and thanks to the OSR keep getting new stuff for it!Heck you can even keep playing the brand new edition and just ignore the critical Role stuff. It's easy enough to do.Just take a step back and hold in the outrage at something you don't like THE same way you did before.I hated Birthright. Faerun was some upstart wet behind the ears world that stole my Greyhawk things! 3.5 was the downfall of D&D till I played it. So I didn't play them. I let others enjoy them in peace and just was happy for them while I kept playing my Greyhawk 2E(lol).if some aspect of the game or what people are doing with the game irk you. Just don't play it. Let other people have their fun and look forward to the next book that is something you like.It's very human to end up trying to destroy what you love. It just isn't behavior that leads to happy endings. Lets shot for a Happy Ending.</blockquote>
