More Critical Role
Dec. 9th, 2018 12:06 pmSo I guess I really have fallen headfirst into Critical Role. It's a fun experience!
I finally got caught up with all 43 past episodes, and on Thursday was able to watch the first part of the live stream. (I couldn't finish it because of the time zone differences.)
I can't put my finger on why I was able to watch that much video of people playing D&D together. I can tell you things I like about it, but there are things I liked about all of the media that I haven't managed to finish.
But I'm kind of considering... you know, the love that people have for their original characters can be kind of contagious. Things like RP let you see it more closely than you sometimes can in other types of storytelling. The relatively free form of RP gives you space for a lot of character moments that wouldn't necessarily "fit" into a storytelling mode that requires tighter control.
When the OCs are interesting, and written/played well, it can be a real delight.
