[QUOTE="Caliburn101, post: 7735603, member: 6802178"] Cergorach you conflate two different things. The people at CR and indeed this presenter are actually all good at two things - the art of D&D, and presenting the game in a good light, as the fun group challenge it is. Your point about appearance is entirely general. The vast majority of presenters, actors, media personalities and celebrities are physically attractive and/or charismatic, unlike the majority of humanity. This has nothing to do with D&D, and in no way detracts from someone's ability to do what CR and Satine (and her players) do. Whilst I sympathise that there is always the possibility that more average looking people could be involved at the media front end of the game, this is true of every form of entertainment media, and I don't see you complaining about that. Humans are creatures of habit, and most of us react subliminally better to good appearance - whether it be physique, facial configuration, choice of clothes or hairstyle. Ergo, we are all a bit shallow, and can't help ourselves even if we know we are. Fix the human race as regards 'judging a book by it's cover' before pointing that at anyone particular eh? Much better to judge on ability and forget the rest - because in terms of ability, every person or group you mentioned does very well in this regard. Anything else is like judging a theory postulated by a particle physicist as unworthy because he's got good pectorals and a square jaw - ergo, ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
