Oddly specific, but I like it.

I'm mostly in the same boat as you. I have tried several times to get into Critical Role since everyone raves about it, plus a few others. It's not for me. I suppose it's because I don't have any emotional connection with the actual play where I would have that investment with my own game. I will say that I did enjoy Dungeons & Daddies though, but that show is more like listening to a comedy podcast about fantasy rather than an actual play.

Thanks for taking the time to write that.

I sure wish I had as much time as these blogs seem to think I do.

I bought the PDFs when they were on sale but have not yet played. This was helpful, thanks!

It has taken us 4 years to work through two calendar months.

Holy shit. And from level 1 to 9-10.

Fuck, yes.

I haven't played in person seriously for many years. We're starting a new in-person group here soon, so I'm going to have to figure something out. I have a boatload of 3 ring binders so I will probably do the clear sleeve thing like you do, Mike. And then promptly pull them all out to spread around the table because I am a loose-leaf person at heart.

That's pretty cool. I didn't know this was a thing.

If you have a mystery situation set up and the party has a solution that cuts right to the end, I don't see the problem. My feeling is, instead of figuring out ways to force people into your line of roleplaying, play into their solution and let them feel good about it.
