A friends husband wouldn't shut up about how it was crazy I never watched Critical Role, so I finally gave it a chance and it's about as faggy as I assumed.

Try being a DM running various tabletop games for over 20 years. Never had an issue, everyone always had fun until this paragon of faggotry started and every single mouth breather who came to the table to play started throwing a bitch fit because you don’t run the game exactly like Mercer does!

This show (and 5th edition D&D in general) has absolutely ruined the game.

He was suggesting that people get a vax for HPV, not the Wu Flu, so that youtube note is incorrect, and says more about how shitty YT is than Sam Riegel.

I don't know enough about the subject to say if it's a good or a bad thing, but Sam seems to genuinely believe that the HPV vax would have prevented him from getting cancer, and I don't think all jabs are inherently as bad as the Wu Flu jab is, so I'm not holding that against him. I'm also glad that he recovered from cancer.

Honestly, if I was to rank all of the CR cast from most to least shitty, I'd say Sam is probably in the upper middle. He clearly has retarded opinions (case in point, the "women or people who get pap smears" bullshit) but I haven't seen him express them nearly as often as Liam, Mercer, or that faggot Taliesin. And I don't find him nearly as insufferable as I do Ashley or Marisha.

Also I just realised that what he said is probably more triggering than he intended it to be. He said that there's a way to test *women* for HPV, (but not men) and then he made sure to specify "women, or people who get pap smears".
Hey Sam, what about "women" who *don't* get pap smears because they have a dick or even a rot hole? Is there a way to test them?
Not very inclusive when you think about it...
 
Dead thread but apparently the lawsuit levied against Brian W. Foster has been tossed. Guess he may not be the super rapist that has been beating the shit out of Ashley for years.

Honestly find that hard to believe because when I watched her forget how to rage as a fucking BARBARIAN during C2 I wanted to smack her around too.

I've heard this complaint hundreds of times, but I have yet to hear an explanation as to what Matt's doing wrong.

Matt’s a perfectly capable DM. All things considered I don’t consider him a bad DM. My issue, and I think a lot of issues other DMs have is when they get a group of retards at their table who expect the DM to just mindlessly ape Mercer’s style of DMing and not feel free to run the game with their own style and flair.
 
Campaign 3 is ending next week, so I think it's fair to ressurect the thread.
tl;dr:
- Campaign 3 will end in an 8.5 hour episode.
- It's the end of all of Critical Role, or at least the Exandria setting.
- Afterwards they're doing another spinoff prequel minisseries called ExU: Divergence, DMed by Brennan, and then a big wrap up show.

I'm a sane person, so I haven't been keeping up with C3, but I did watch bits of the last 2 episodes and the cast seemed bored as shit and even the fanbase is starting to turn against then. Subreddit has a lot more negative discussion this time around and some people in the chat during the last episode were rooting for the BBEG god devouring monster to TPK them.

Next campaign will probably use their faggy Daggerheart system.

How relevant is Critical Role these days? The hype for it seemed to trail off and stop dead around the time its third campaign started and all I've read and heard since then is that it sucks and all of them are checked out.

Outside of the occasional “This isn’t how Mercer does it!” horror stories, not particularly.

From what I heard of it - I didn’t watch any of it - Campaign 3 feeling heavily scripted killed a lot of the hype. Campaign 1 was lightning in a bottle, because it started from an actual place of passion. The second Critical Role became marketable it hit its death knell.

Least we got to see what a 3edgy5me Class would be with Mercer’s pet the Blood Hunter. And a laugh at the only person to play it being the person who suffered a character death.

Aside from the heavily scripted railroaded feel there was also Mercer retconning the previously established lore built in the first two campaigns (which was doubled-down upon in the Amazon cartoon), the cast going full-Californian liberal with their RP choices, random cutaways from the campaign to feature a she-boon "DM" who insults her players and doesn't grasp the ruleset of D&D, characters from the first two campaigns being Worf'd, and so much more!

It was a shitshow.
