I look forward to the day when people like you can be shot on general principle.

no idea, I play games not watch them

Do they honestly have 13 fucking players?

>>96459427
Supposedly they'll have split tables this time.

They're not playing Daggerheart so it won't be as awful as it could've been

>two tables
>playing biweekly
>at critical role pace
Imagine it, half the pace and twice as long. I am looking forward to the first time Brennan railroads them into Capitalist Villain #1 (in a medieval world no less) and they all just run away kek

It's going to be something. Not sure how good it will be.

Wasn't mercantilism the death knell of feudalism due to the shift from land-based wealth to capital-based wealth?

>>96459903
Isn't land capital? The aristocracy continued to hold all the power well into the 19th century, no feudal system required.

I look forward the clips of Brennan doing some shit that knocks the players off their guard. Very few of them have actually played with him, and he's good at taking their shit into account and then using it to create shocking moments.

I've never watched this slop and so accept the possibility you're being serious. Do his "shocking moments" ever result in a liked character being permanently killed? No? Oh wow, le epic repercussions.

>>96458890
Better question is "can it be good?"

>>96458890
Considering the player count and lack of initiative to back their own fucking system, I expect it to be the same made for entertainment crap it's always been with stakes as imaginary as most "B" movies like the acting gigs that are the peaks of the their careers.

>>96458890
What the fuck happened to Matt's wife? She looks 50 lbs heavier

>>96459903
Feudalism started dying after the black death wiped out nearly half of all serfs. The lords started poaching each other's peasants with promises of lower taxes and better treatment. The monarch could no longer rely on his vassals to provide him with large armies, so he had to rely on mercenary bands, which cost money, which required proto-capitalism. Mercantilism was a way to survive the decline, not really a cause.

>>96461918
She got married

Can't believe Marisha is the same age as Alex and Whitney. And they're still the youngest prople there. Wheres the young people in their late 20s/early 30s to make up for all the 40-year-olds

All his epic moments are just scripted cutscenes where a goblin turns out to be a well educated syndicalist or something

There's not a single straight person in this photo. Sums modern DnD.

>>96458890
why does the hairy, greasy latino dude always have his shirt open

>>96462880
Not a single straight person on this board either, so it should be right up /tg/s alley

>>96462419
He looks like he could have been an evil sorcerer in a previous life

>>96463380
he probably weigh the same as Laura despite being a foot taller

>>96459565
Why is there so much hate about that system? Checked it out, nothing outrageous, is this just /pol/-tier contrarianism?

>>96463513
this site has a weird viewpoint. Billionaires will get their cock sucked when stealing from end exploiting the poor. But when it's some leftist entertainment people trying to make money off of their fanbase they are greedy.

>>96463598
Critical role are legitimate scammers though
>run a kickstarter to get a cartoon made
>reach goals

Dunno, I personally couldn't give two quarters of a shit about CR and who owns what rights, I both play and DM so all I care about is the table, and as it's mostly a RP one, we will be testing it more extensively (had one session so far), but all the hate is rather bizzare. I'd wager most people haven't even heard of the rights and kickstarter, and only hate it because it's CR's system.

>>96463623
who cares dude. I don't back crowdfunding campaigns and I'm not planning to buy Daggerheart

>>96463658
It's free regardless, you can download everything from the site, I guess people buy it mostly cause its pretty and shiny.

>>96461918
preggers

>>96463623
Look at the faggots screeching "who cares!" People should care, that should have caused a massive backlash in CR's community. But they are all spineless.

>>96463719
tell me, as someone who doesn't support CR in any way financially, why I should care

>>96463728
It's highest profile depiction of hobby in mainstream media and thus sets public perception of hobby as a whole. I'd say that if you play any tabletop at all you will be associated with CR on some level whethere you like it or not. But considering where we are, that's a big if...

>>96463766
Nobody here cares whether our hobby is niche or not. This isn't a popularity contest, this is groups of autists playing pretend.

>>96463728
>I don’t care about critical role
>he posts in the critical role thread
?

>>96464085
I care to the limit that I watch their campaigns and participate in discussion, but:
>never donated
>never backed their kickstarter
>haven't bought any merch
>don't plan on buying daggerheart
tell me why I should care if the people who backed their kickstarter got ripped off when they sold the rights to Amazon

>>96458890
Yes. Brennan Lee Mulligan is not a good GM. He's funny. He can monologue. He runs terrible games.

>>96463513
I'm just shitposting anon, although I still think it's funny that they won't play their own game on their main show no matter what the reason may be.

>>96464532
Serious question, what makes him not a good gm?

>>96465411
I'll save you the time waiting for this guy's answer
>"Because he's an e-celeb, obviously"

>>96465411
He just railroads the same story over and over, he’s open and proud of it

Having an NPC give a pithy monologue for minutes at a time while the players sit by and gawk only really seems impressive or cool if you only see it once. But when you see that he does that shit in every game whether he's a player or GM, you realize what a crock of shit that style of play is. Nevermind that all of Dimension 20 is heavily edited and even full of reshot lines and takes, but Brennan himself is like a one trick pony and that one trick is spewing some reddit-tier monologue in a silly voice while he hunches forward and opens his eyes really wide at the players.

>>96467361
That just sounds like you don't like his style not why he's a bad gm.

>>96462419
Just a little bit of meth.

>>96467694
The things he's praised for are either the work of gratuitous editing, having an entire production team on hand to oversee and manage the show, including props, music, presentation, editing, etc, or it's clips of his "epic" moments where he leans forward and delivers a redditor monologue to a table full of slack-mouthed paid actors whose job it is to mug for the camera.

None of that is game mastering.

>>96467361
>pithy monologue for minutes at a time
It's not pithy if it's a long monologue

>>96459636
see you guys in 2035 when they finish it

All the ads on twitch are going to make this unwatchable regardless of your opinions on how they are doing things.

>>96458906
can we start by eliminating criminals first? OP might be stupid, but he might have some use yet, even as a lolcow

If there is one word that most describes the average person on tg, (including you, the person reading this comment. Not the person i am replying to, but you) it is servile.
