Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheAlkaizer" data-source="post: 8387496" data-attributes="member: 7024893">I don't want to stir the pot. But I also really wasn't impressed with how Aabria GMed Exandria Unlimited. I didn't know her beforehand. Can't say I'm a fan. But this works on different levels.<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">She's just not my type of GM. I don't think I would have that much pleasure being a player in her game. It comes down to things like her tone, her snap decisions, her inconsistent rulings, the type of experience she's trying to create. That happens all the time, there's more DMs I'm not into than the opposite. It's not a commentary on their objective quality as dungeon masters.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I also felt that episode 8 was awkward. Several of her comments that were quoted in this thread made me react and wince. I have no idea if the other players were bothered by it or not, it's their business. I'm not going to be offended or bothered on their behalf, but as a viewer, it did affect my experience negatively.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">However, I know that I would never, ever say things like that to my players. And I would probably have a stern talk to any GM talking to me like that if I was a player, or if a player talked to me that way. From my perspective, it felt disrespectful.</li> </ol>So, I don't know if I'll ever end up seeing more of her work. But if so, I hope it'll be better! I have no idea if that's an accurate representation of her style or not. I'm sure DMing on Critical Role must be a nerve wracking thing.</blockquote>
