Ive never posted in this forum before (legit didn’t know it existed, I guess I just skimmed over it this entire time), but I’d like to know, are there any D&D/Critical Role fans in here?

I love D&D. Never could get into critical roll. I prefer listening to the Dungeon Dudes and the campaign they play.

For those of you who watch, did you watch last night’s episode? I’m holding off until tomorrow, my irl group is taking a week off with some absences so we are gonna have a watch party instead.

Haven't watched CR but I play, started a campaign over zoom last year when everything shut down and wasn't as much stuff to do.
Ironically, it was right in the heart of the shutdown that our group started to meet. We started last June. Our next meeting will technically be our 1 year anniversary.

In an online setting I play in, we’ve spent the last 4 sessions clearing out a section of the underdark where there is ample trade. We’ve killed 290 total creatures. 280 Trogladites, 8 Trog captains, and 2 Trollgladites. In 4 sessions. It’s been a slog lol

I love D&D! I've never been able to get into watching/listening to other people playing though.
Currently don't have an ongoing D&D campaign but I am running a campaign in the FFG Star Wars system which is progressing nicely.

I've gamed with the same friends at least twice a week for the past 25 years (mostly D&D, Pathfinder, and Call of Cthulhu), but we've only started meeting in-person again recently after a year(!) of playing on Roll20. I'm a D&D addict, so it's been rough. :b

Weirdly enough, our group didn’t start playing until last June. Right in the middle of the pandemic.

Love D&D but haven’t played since college. Talked about starting a campaign a few times, but really don’t have time since I am trying to start a band and have a 9 year old who plays sports and I coach him in basketball.

I like CR, but I am so far behind that it is hard to catch up. Matt Mercer is a legit DM.

Grew up playing Cyberpunk, Star Wars, Gamma World, various Warhammers.......but mostly Palladium. My brother would adapt Palladium to various times and settings. We didn’t get too much into D&D much, but we certainly respected it. I’d love to get back into it.

I don’t know much about the show.....didn’t know it existed, but I love the premise. May have to give it a look.

It’s a lot of content, but it’s worth it. Voice actors playing DnD is wildly entertaining.
I'm interested. Know a guy who's creating a couple games right now. I'll ask if he's checked it out and forward the info if not.

For those that game online, how does that work? Do you have to schedule time daily or weekly? What if you can’t play on a regular schedule? How do balance family, work, etc?

I’m in an online “setting,” not a true campaign. It is a homebrew world that allows multiple DM’s to control sections of the world and run quests (or even mini-campaigns) within that region. It allows for flexible scheduling and as many games as you can fit in, but loses a bit of the “end-goal” feel of a true campaign. There are about 10 DM’s and around 50 or so players, most of whom play 2 different characters. If you just want to play DnD without the commitment of a weekly game, it is worth it.

So, what kind of time commitment do you usually have? How does it work?

Hell yea. Been playing since I found the AD&D Red Box in a little bookstore in Prestonsburg in the mid 80s. I mostly play Pathfinder 2E now though, because 3.5 was our favorite.
