[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 7978685, member: 50987"] I love [B]Dungeons & Dragons[/B] (been playing it for the last 30+ years), [B]Critical Role[/B] (been watching it since it first aired), and [B]Matt Mercer [/B](I think he's a great voice actor, writer, and human). But we shouldn't put equal-signs between all of these different names. As much as I love Matt, he isn't the end-all, be-all for dungeon mastery. He's an excellent DM, maybe one of the best--but his style isn't everyone's cup of tea. He isn't the face of D&D, and it must be frustrating when people elevate him to such. And as much as I love CR, there's no way I would want that play-style at my table. I have nothing but love for Talisen, Liam, Sam, Marisha, Travis, Laura, and Ashley, and I'll always visit them when they come to RCCC, but they would [I]drive me up the wall [/I]if they were my players! (Maybe not Ashley. She's pretty chill.) At the end of the day, we're all just a bunch of weirdos, hanging out and telling stories together, and that's D&D. My gaming group is all civil engineers; Matt's gaming group is all voice actors. We don't have much in common, and it would be weird if we did, but at least we agree on this much: [ATTACH type="full" alt="7GbUSMy.gif"]121603[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
