I enjoyed this episode! Thanks for your time and effort!!! I started watching CR during the Pandemic shutdown. I would play Zelda: Breath of the Wild while listening to CR. So, in my mind, Exandria looks a lot like the Kingdom of Hyrule. At 69 and a retired school teacher, I have the time to watch CR on KZbin. Actually, I listen to it while cooking or doing chores because I know who is who by voice. I pay attention to the visuals during key combat moments.

[@stephenklien]

Re: CR's viewership vs Campaign 2, the pandemic massively boosted all sorts of Twitch and KZbin viewership that has since normalized to usual (pre-COVID) levels.

Critical Role is actually re-releasing the entirety of Campaign 3 in an abridged version for people who can't follow its increasingly longer episodes. Even at 1.25, I can't watch an episode in one sitting anymore on the Mondays 😅

[@Carnagepwnz]

Tiktok has RUINED my attention span so I can't sit there and just watch it anymore, I have to be doing something else too. I listen to it while I work though and the long format works well then.

[@probablythedm1669]

I gave up for campaign 3 and just do the podcast when I run now. Though, even at running around an average of 12-15 km 4-5 days a week, I'm *still only finishing episode 25 today! AND I LISTEN AT x1,5!* 😅 I did used to listen to other stuff as well, but now I'm down to 2 podcasts so I'll make more progress on Campaign 3 as I'm running a D&D Campaign set not long before on Exandria and I'd like to know what's been going on in C3. I feel like there's so much Critical Role content (which is not a bad thing, as I enjoyed it all) and not enough time to consume it all if you have a job and other hobbies, outside of being a Critical Role fan. 🤓

[@jesusmarquez1665]

18:08 I remember Dino-Riders! I f'n loved Dino-Riders! The opening scene of the 'movie' where the kid wanders away from the field trip and stumbles upon a triceratops skeleton and a t-rex skeleton fighting was peak my hopes and dreams in life

[@tonysladky8925]

I've gotta insert my usual stance into the "should Critical Role do edited episodes?" argument, because there's a secret third option: Full, uncut TTRPG sessions, but on a strict timer. If you follow for example, Acquisitions Incorporated: The "C" Team's example and run a tight 2-and-a-half hour session with a half-hour aftershow, you still get all the benefits of playing Live D&D, with far less incentive for people to duck out partway through because they have to work in the morning. Highly underrated approach to actual plays in my book.

[@laughingpanda4395]

Favorite dinosaur? The king of feathers. A locust breathing, teleporting, massive, T-Rex. Honorable mention goes to the undead t-rex that vomits zombies. Both in tomb of annihilation.

[@MikChaos]

Similar to Ben's T-rex story, one of my groups in Tomb of Annihilation fought the King of Feathers but were leveled up so I used a gigantosaurus as the base monster. It bite-grappled one of them then proceeded to use legendary actions and dash to run 300+ ft away with it's lunch 😈

WotC does not need to manually write in page numbers. Publishing software has dynamic placeholders called Field Codes. For example, in Word you can use PAGEREF to insert the page number of a bookmark.

[@thegreatkamikaze]

CR's popularity is an interesting discussion. I almost think it could be viewed as a medium rather than a show itself as some campaigns/arcs could be more popular than others, like James may not be into a dinosaur campaign 😜

[@davedujour1]

My favorite dinosaur is chicken. I ask for dinosaur every time I go to Chipotle!

[@MikChaos]

I think the last thing we heard about Cormyr was in Erin M Evans's Brimstone angels series of novels, and that the legitimate heir to the crown was missing and actually off adventuring with the titular character.

[@GeeVeeGM]

"I hate dinosaurs in D&D." I never thought I could like James more, but now I do. I feel you, James.

[@JReilly9945]

I think that adventure has promise. Personally I think published adventures should lean more towards creating templates that GMs can learn from on how to do scenarios. As was said, undead horde survival game is hard to run and actually make fun, even though it's a super cool premise. So something that points out the pain points of the scenario and how to mitigate those is far more useful to me than a list of stat blocks and the order to throw them at the party.

[@schemage2210]

The only thing wrong with the 2024 Monster Manual is that there is no proper page references in the end tables??? To squeamish to take on the no orc stat blocks in the monster manual, perhaps?

[@Forke13]

23:11 I do indeed expect Daggerheart as a base system for Campaign 4. If there is going to be an actual 4th main campaign. So far I am not really interested in Daggerheart, though. And with that I actually may not be interested in a related show. The vocal part of the community seems to be looking forward to Critical Role moving away from DnD, but I seriously expect a major part of the audience will be lost in the transition. A vast amount.

[@ryanmatthews5882]

Old grognard here...started gaming with the BECMI Red Box back in the 80s. I've become a CR fan, and am currently a Beacon subscriber. They are entertaining, I just wish they went for shorter episodes.

[@lukerabon7925]

I suspect part of the reason Twitch viewership is down for CR is because they prerecord now. There is very little point in tuning into a live stream that isn't live. Like if you've ever watched a KZbin Let's Play vs a a gaming stream, even if the streamer isn't interacting with chat the energy of the streamer is different. Now imagine if most Twitch channels were prerecorded Let's Plays. Why would anyone want to watch that on a regular basis if it's all gonna be on KZbin in a few days

[@kibert135]

I fell off D20 because of it being edited. I personally want Critical Role to not be edited in that way. A lot of its charme and atmosphere stems from it not being edited. I also think stuff like EXU Calamity would not be as effective if it was edited. To me CR not being edited is a feature, not a bug and them trying to find new ways to innovate in that space will make them stand out.

[@lachrymalquietus]

And I'm the opposite. I'd like to but simply don't have enough time to watch CR in its current format. In the dreamworld they'd have both the Abridged and Unabridged versions 🤞

[@kibert135]

[@theoldgoat3000]

Great ep as always! Ankylosaurus for me. I would have to disagree on the purple dragon knight, if only because it was supposed to be a banneret. The newer one is better mechanically, and I agree it would've been hard to make it mechanically worse than the original, but the new one has nothing to do with the original. This new one is Int based instead of Cha and does nothing with Int for you. I don't care about the lore piece, but I would like a properly done banneret. Though I suppose you could argue that's just a college of valor bard and that would be fair, except you're then forced into spellcasting/lower hp chassis instead of having a badass battlefield leader type. They could just finally give all fighters access to a couple of the battlemaster maneuvers and be done with it also, so you can tailor your fighter with a couple of tricks. I don't know, new purple dragon knight just steps on the drakewarden's toes and ditches the support/lead from the front fantasy altogether. I can see switching it to Int to have a more tactical flavor vs a Cha flavor, or even having the player choose one of those two directions when they pick the subclass, but give the character something (per prof bonus use abilities in the chosen stat) for having that stat dependency in either case.

[@baltosstrupelos302]

Started in 3.5, and CR was just too long. Love the hell out of the interview snips I've seen though. Most interested in Draw Steel and Panic at the Dojo atm!

[@carolxs]

I don't get the difficulty, there are tools for indexing page references automatically in book editing software. You just need to have the items properly marked. I don't think that's a good excuse... I have a pet peeve with vampires losing regeneration, and the layout of statblocks could be better, but in general I really like the book and there was a general improvement to how monsters work. Will start using them immediately

[@laurajane2300]

That "one from column A, one from column B" method of character creation from the D&D4E edition of Gamma World is perfect for a starter set. Somebody needs to use the SRD to create one if WOTC doesn't. Print each block of info on a card.

[@DavidSmith-jj7ll]

Stegosaurus is awesome because thagomizers are awesome and stego is second only to dimetrodon and gorgonopsids but yup the pachy and parasaurs/maiasaurs are solid choices too. Glyptodonts are kickass too with thagomaces for cenozoic coolness

[@DavidSmith-jj7ll]

And yes, the best dinosaurs aren't even reptilians much less archosaurs or dinosaurs, suck it diapsids

[@lukerabon7925]

I wonder if the changes to PDK means Banneret (the suggested subclass name from SCAG if you aren't playing FR) will be its own thing more similar to the battlefield commander idea from the original subclass or if they just won't bother making the tactician Fighter update since they did so poorly the first time

[@paulbenfield7840]

Eberron getting an official update soonish after 2024 release actually makes me much more likely to bother with the system, which given that my local D&D society has switched wholesale over to it is a good thing or I'd be only running Starfinder / Pathfinder here...

Like a lot of things, hyper popularity is driven by young people with time. Critical was proportionally popular with a bunch of college and high school aged kids who had a bunch more free time. And then a Pandemic hit. 10 years after that start, those young adults are now *adults*. And the new crop of younger people with disposable time are latching on to "new" things instead of following in the footsteps of the cohort before them

[@shadomain7918]

Dael's Dinosaur: wait - isn't Stegosaur just the predecessor to Ninja Turtles?

[@RevocerGM]

30:50 - also a lot less time that people have I think. go back 4 and a half years ago and it was much easier to spend an afternoon or evening watching a long form actual play. Now, people probably don't have as much opportunity to do that. So the shorter episode shows probably are more manageable

[@alanthomasgramont]

I don't believe you need to manually index entries in a book anymore. If I recall the last time I used layout software you created a reference to that point and then anywhere else in the book you could just say "the page where that reference is." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's what I did the last time I had to edit something for work.

Drakkenheim beats Critical Role. Its more bite sized. It feels like a real DnD game, not a show. The smaller cast is consistent and because of that the game is easier to get into if you're just listening. You never have to think to yourself "which one of the players is currently speaking?". After watching Drakkenheim i feel spoiled - I tried listening to other live plays but with groups of 5 or more players, I just can't follow. Last but not least - Monty is a master DM and the cast are awesome players. Shout-out to Jill and Joe. Kelly, you'll get there.

Comment for the algorithm

[@deanlol]

Drink, pray, write.

[@davec1]

In the age of digital tools that vastly outperform any attempt at creating a logical system to find stuff in a book, it doesn't really matter that much, but: I find it mind-boggling that in terms of alphabetization, they decided to go with the use case assumption that people are more likely to remember all the silly names and know whether they're actually looking for a Yugoloth or more of a Glabrezu or a Barlgura, rather than than go "let's see, what was that cool demon I saw again? or let's see what dragons there are, or what golem or giant stat-blocks are available. It seems like a decision made by people who struggle to put themselves into the shoes of people who aren't quite as well-versed in D&D monster lore as themselves. It's like with spells: What letter they happen to begin with is so arbitrary that knowing whether it's under A or Z will give you no useful information (you might be looking for or trying to leverage). Now compare that to a spell's level, which gives you a rough idea of a spell's power AND the one time where people are most likely to browse the spell list is by far at character creation or when they've leveled up and have access to a new spell level. Strict alphabetization is the fall-back system for when you simply can't think of any structure that's more useful and I think in both these cases it's not because there's no superior alternatives...

[@johnmickey5017]

Alphabetical speeds spell lookup at the table. Someone casts Sleep, to S, not “remember it’s level 1 then find Sleep”. I’ll take the preference for speed for at table play. Spell rules by level is mostly valuable at character creation. But that doesn’t really apply to monsters, which are a prep item.

[@sweetderpg]

For new DMs who are running a module or other pre-written adventure it's far easier to look up the name of the creature than know what type it is. There's nothing about "Balgura" that tells me it's a demon

[@davec1]

@johnmickey5017 I see and mostly agree with your points. However, I believe that in that table scenario it would be only insignificantly slower if spells were sorted by level first before then being sorted alphabetically. If you're casting a spell, you'd better know its level, because you're expending spell slots. You're also likely to know the spells you picked. The default character sheet sorts them by level, too. If you're using some sort of custom character sheet, adding the spell's level requires a single digit. Finally, if you wanted to add tabs to your book to find things more quickly, adding one tab for 9 levels is more likely to fit than adding tabs for 26 letters. At the end of the day, though, it doesn't matter, unless your table enforces a strict no-phones policy, because looking it up in an app will always be quicker...

[@sweetderpg]

Also... if a player Ummons something at the table it's far easier to look it up by name.

CR3 isn't a heroic campaign unlike even the CR2, maybe that's it? "Are you heroes, or are you mice?"

[@duhg599]

I stopped watching CR campaign 3 after about 20-25 sessions because I didn’t like any of the player characters. Now when I check back in on it, this same group of irresponsible, indecisive, amoral chaos goblins has been thrust into the position of saving the world, and they’re being entrusted with responsibilities by powerful NPCs who really ought to know better. So there’s a huge mismatch between the story Matt’s trying to tell and the characters the players made. They have no conviction and no plan, but Matt needs to wrap this campaign up so he can finally divorce CR from any IP that WotC owns and they can be fully independent.

I do not know a lot of Eberron lore, that said i do have to disagree with James, if you look at the changes that Wizards has been doing to their classes and races of late, the game has become very meh.

That said you DM can still do what they want in regards to their came, its just that wizards has been removing those types of restrictions over the years.
