    If I disliked Critical Role, what are the odds I'd like this?

      It's a similar sense of humor but paced a lot faster since they're not spending 6 hours doing fictional shopping. The characterization is tighter too.

      All in all it's a pretty good fantasy adventure animation. First episode goes over the top on gross-out humor and blood spatters to establish that it is an Adult Show That Pulls No Punches and it chills out from there on the farts.

      thought it was ok, but I think if your a fan before you'd be more excited over moments that mirror the show

      There's something like 1000 hours of campaign you'd have to get through for the sake of understanding the in-jokes and references and it stands on its own without it.

          I'm waiting for it to fully release so I can pirate it, but as I understand it's a tighter retelling of one of the big narrative arcs of the first campaign, the Briarwoods.

          Gonna pirate it because fuck giving Bezos any dollars and because Critical Role (the company) did the Kickstarter backers (me among them) dirty. It's increasingly become a corporate entity when before it was just a group of friends livestreaming their games, but I won't get into all that here.
