First episode is out. Decided to give it a listen because I have time to kill and also found the character designs of the party to be all over the place. So far it has the same boring as shit C3isms.
- Campaign starts with a "cold open" with just Liam (the main character, of course) and one of the new guys. It feels forced and cringy, specially in how they react to everything so uber emotionally (it's the first five minutes of the campaign nigga, calm down).
- 1 hour in and not even half of the main party has been introduced yet. People are just talking and acting emotional at this orc's funeral. Nothing fucking happens. I guess Namek really was the friends we made along the way.

I have an intense visceral reaction to Brenan Lee Mulligan. Retarded political takes aside, he has one of the most punchable faces I've seen since Will Wheaton, and an annoying personality to boot.

The era of CR being relevant is hopefully, slowly, coming to an end.

The damage is done, it didn't start with them rather a few years prior when a bunch of other G-list faggots who aged out of angsty teen and child acting gigs started something called The Guild but like a cancer it spread out and now we have a bunch of faggots and drama kids thinking a ttrpg should be a choreographed as a pro wrestling match.

Unfortunately it seems to have taken D&D as a whole along with it.

Good, WOTC is a shell of it's former self and the industry does not need it to survive and flourish. See all the wonderful stuff that came out of the OSR and OGL fury when WOTC tried to put the genie back in the bottle. Critical Role tried their own shit system (Candellabra or something 2D12?) it sucked harder than a trantifa in a combat wheel chair on the first of the month.

Fuck 'em and all this live streaming of fuckwit failed 'actors' who think they are the next Gary Oldman or Daniel Day Lewis. Their days are numbered by the dwindling viewership and people don't want to see Sacred Cows be protected for the entirety of the 'campaign' . that's why i hate hate hate all these Live Plays as they are glorified Tumblr blogs come to life. I'd rather watch some grognards do a VTT and let the dice fall where they may to show that Risk has it's Rewards.
 
The first two episodes didnt really draw me in, I kind of got bored pretty early on and just moved away to something else.

Episode 3 opened up with some insane shit as I had no idea how Ep 2 ended. I actually liked it and watched till the break. But after the break I flat lined, Liam and that Black Chick talk so god damn much.

Like if this was a normal DnD group on a Sunday they would be Tolkin describing a tree for 5 pages, let the god damn story unfold over time, 15 minutes of you talking about your back story every time the camera pans to you is too much.

She tries to hog the spotlight and she uses the game as a outlet for being a gooner. She did the same type of thing when she was in the previous campaign ruining one of the other PC's big serious moments with trying to have her character act like Quagmire.

I think she is better in Project Ghostlight's Vampire the Masquerade game, which is ran by Alexander Ward who plays one of the characters in Critical Role 's campaign 4. I think something about playing D&D makes her shit up the game more but she has a better mindset/play style for other systems.
 
I think I might just be dumb, I went to the wiki and read the summary of the episodes. There are so many people with so many houses with so many factions with so much going on, none of it sinks in.

People have been saying they take notes to follow this new campaign. That seems utterly ridiculous.

I've been watching every episode so far, and honestly don't bother trying to remember plot details. The quality diminished for me as soon as it was mentioned there is people using their student IDs in this fantasy city to use the school cafeteria, it's a bit too modern for me. I didn't mind it watching Brennan's Fantasy high series but that's because the 1950s college gimmick was up front.
 
My mom and older brother are like really into the animated series, but I couldn't stand to watch one episode.
