It’s like watching a DnD campaign but much better. Also feels far more mature compared to anime.

      I was just talking to a friend about this that I got to watch Vox Machina with me that I really struggle with paying attention to people sitting around a table talking for hours. Like I enjoyed Harmon Quest because there’s a visual medium for most of it, I tried watching Critical Roll and I don’t think I made it through the first episode.

        The first episode of Campaign 1 is rough. They literally started the livestream from a home game that had been going for a couple of years and I don’t think anyone knew what they were doing. I honestly skipped to midway through the Briarwood arc which is what the show covered partially because better production, and one of the founders who was driving me (and the players) insane left.

        I haven’t watched the other Campaigns yet. I know 2 is very good and actually tells a full story. Actual plays aren’t for everyone but the show does cover it very well.
