Is critical serious for the most part or is it still comedy based? I watched the first three episodes but it seemed pretty slow. The third episode did pick up the pace but I still can’t tell whether it’ll pick up

Futureidk 1 its a pretty good mix of both I think. A bit more serious than dimension 20, but theres plenty of good goofs and jokes. Which campaign did you start? Ive found it very hard to get interested in the first campaign but caught up to the second in less than two months

@Julia Orton Thanks Julia! I started with the second campaign. Also, I have watched so much Dnd content but CR seems like the most serious (edit: regarding rules and mechanics; also tone but not overly so) so I wasn’t sure if I’d need to be a more enfranchised player to deeply appreciate and enjoy it. I watched ep4 last night. The last two episodes were definitely better and the players seemed more comfortable in their characters so I bet it only gets better. I’ll stick with it!

But then he goes and pulls the Relentless Hex stunt and does the devastating Cone of Cold. Mercer really knew how to, well, roll with the low rolls, built a really compelling personality around it and then got the payoff when the dice turned in his favour at the end.

I think Matt really stumbled onto a wonderful character, driven by dice rolls. His original concept was basically “The witch king with an obedience obsession and subtle themes of doubt” and he turned into an exploration of depression and continual failure. I think when Matt said he was planning on having Leiland leave the party after the airship battle, but was turned around by the party all encouraging him and being kind to him. It’s really obvious that Matt keyed into “Leiland wants to be loved for who he is and what he does.” And the dice/circumstance kept it from him until he started role playing “I’m going to do this and screw who’s watching.” At which point his rolls went VERY in his favour.

@@Ajehynot just that, but with his first action in that battle he pushed half of the enemy to nearly death's door and the other half got their hp halved which made them much easier for the rest of the party to pick off, so the contrast between him not being able to defeat a storm giant in a tiny body and the party finishing bigger enemies left and right got more stark by his own making
