Scott Ruggels Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Time for a segue. Speaking of porn, a few folks objected to Matt Mercer's efforts in a discussion on an FB 5e D&D group, saying that Critical Roll resembled most people's D&D about as well as porn rese,bled real sex. That the search for the funny voice was a distraction from good role play and that Mercer kept shoving his boot up the ass of his players to keep things moving. My objection toMercer, though is his "Skill Challenge" is just a narrative tool to short hand results, based on desperate and flimsy justifications of rolls forced on the players by Matts use of the, dare I even call it, mechanic. My GM users it because he was inspired by Matt Mercer, and it resulted in a TPK. Not happy.. But in the end I'd rather play a game than watch a stream of one.

zslane Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Well, sure, Critical Role is focused on entertaining viewers, not presenting an accurate view of what TTRPGs look like in the Real World. But I would compare it to live sketch/improv comedy rather than porn. The skill set involved is very much the same, and disregard for the "rules"--in the service of entertainment--is also the same. I have no objections to this, but unfortunately newbies to TTRPGs who don't know any better will come away not understanding the true nature of what they are watching when they watch Critical Role. After all, what else do they have to compare it to? Poor movie and television depictions of kids playing D&D? It's not ideal for real-world GMs who have to adjust their expectations, but at least Critical Role brings new players to the gaming table.

Scott Ruggels Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 ILet me know what you need explained, Duke. Glad to assist. But you can watch "Critical Roll" on your bigass TV, on the Internet, YouTube as a matter of fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of. It is almost as bad as video "RPGs". Both sorta bring in new players, but the expectations of those new players are almost "anti-roleplaying". Critical Roll types desperately try to be funny, usually failing miserably while the Video types just murderhobo away. Few, if any, of the video "converts" know of or even care of the entire concept of roleplaying within the bounds of a campaigns premise.
