Great review. Even though I can't really afford to buy the book, it was an interesting watch, engaging all the way through.

@TheGallantGoblin 2 года назад

Thanks for that, Rafael! It should be cheaper on DnDBeyond and Amazon occasionally has sales as well you may want to watch, depending on your location. -Theo

@Ungulates 2 года назад

I have done some moderate DMing in the past and want to try running something out of a book sometime. If this one isn't for 'beginners', what campaigns would you say I should try before I run this one?

@wemustuplift 2 года назад

The Starter Set has one of the best written Linear moduals, "The Lost Mines of Phandelver". A truely great story that is easy to run and Affordable. Again, it's a linear story, but not "Railroady". Check it out and Enjoy.

@TheGallantGoblin 2 года назад

It depends what your strengths & weaknesses are as a GM. This isn’t a hard campaign to run if you’re comfortable with the role playing aspect. Otherwise, yes, as Dennis says, The Starter Set is ideal.

@daniellewis2609 2 года назад

I think waterdeep dragon heist can be a good one if you domt worry to much about the factions also into the witch light can be good if you dont mind a bit of roleplay

Too bad I can't play it in Adventurer's League. :/ Edit: NVM, we can totally play this in AL!!

You can! It was announced that both Call of the Netherdeep and Explorer's Guide to Wildemount will be converted to be AL legal now that Netherdeep is out: twitter.com/dnd_advleague/status/1447963218689859590

@Kitchengaming379 Год назад

Is it playable without the core books?

@TheGallantGoblin Год назад

Like all official D&D adventures, you'll need the fifth edition core rulebooks (Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, and Monster Manual). But you don't need the other Critical Role books. -Theo

@@TheGallantGoblin alright then thank you

@anthonyambrose7830 2 года назад

This is more new friendly. Curse is still better though. Good if you want to start dming.

@TheGallantGoblin 2 года назад

I think it’s actually a fairly tough one for new DMs, at least from a role-playing perspective. Agreed that Curse is still a stronger overall campaign. -Theo

@anthonyambrose7830 2 года назад

@@TheGallantGoblin I can see it being more difficult from rp in terms of the other party. But the other party is only in the story as much as you want them to be. I also kinda think a party that is basically your dm PCs is a good starting point you can shape them however you want.

@p-leif630 2 года назад

Is there a villain

@TheGallantGoblin 2 года назад

Not in the traditional sense. Alyxian could break that way certainly, and the other factions and rivals could also be antagonists, so who the villains end up being largely depends on what actions the PCs take. -Theo

@everettwatson4966 2 года назад

Yeah, I’m gonna say 5e would have been fine without Critical Role. Only watching video because I support Theo and his channel. Matt Mercer is a good DM but the hobby doesn’t NEED him to be a success. Not wanting to hate on him but that statement irked me.

@TheGallantGoblin 2 года назад

Thanks, Everett! Well, who knows how things would have gone without CR, but I'm happy that RPGs are in a pretty good place these days, regardless of how it happened! -Theo

@andrewlaverghetta715 Год назад

I definitely wouldn’t be as invested or as passionate about DMing for my job if it hadn’t been for Critical Role. While I’m not a voice actor, it’s something that I’ve imagined myself doing. I also love to see the way the stories they all create weave around each other. Watching Critical Role can really be like a master class at times, when you catch that little nugget of info. There aren’t that many other really watchable or otherwise consumable live-play D&D games. I’ve watched others and the production just isn’t as good, which makes it had to keep up with, or some of them charge money to watch. There’s just SO MUCH Critical Role to watch. Does 5e NEED him and his gang? Well, no, but I think the game is much more popular because of CR, and people are doing more because of it.
