he was an Excellent DM. Only gripe, was that he has to do a full description of the Monks actions, where as The Dwarven rogue was very descriptive in his actions, and played the role great (tho very acrobatic Dwarves after a hilarious rare bunch). The monk has to step up her game some. all n all, great short session

Kevyn Hansyn I agree. The best situation of course is if the players let the dice speak and then add the descriptive flavor for their own actions themselves. But more often than not players are not as willing to describe as the GM is and if he jumps in at this point to heighten the mood, I am all for it.

Vin Diesel's character can never be killed. His voice, alone, kills enemies.

Matt Mercer is such a god like DM I just started playing DnD and to be honest DMing is my favorite and I hope to be as magnificent as Mercer is.

Highlander is one of the few classic movies I'd really like to see remade, because, while being a great film, it's far from being flawless and there are quite some things a good director and talented actors could improve upon (following the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"-rule).

Yeah, years ago when I first watched Critical Role, Matt is one of the main ways I learned how to DM. There's a lot that even a veteran DM can learn from Matt because he's just that good, though when I first watched Critical Role that's where most of my technique was learned. Been playing D&D for 11 years, and DMing for something like half that. Started DMing shortly before Critical Role first started being streamed.

Really great gamemasters are few and far between. You need someone who's a good storyteller and also he needs decent players to work with. A lot of roleplaying devolves very easily into just "Fight some monsters. Level up your characters. Rinse. Repeat." When you do find a group who's great though, hooboy.

Awsome! Love the acting, the editors, the enviroment, the DM... This show have everything in its place.

if you think Matt Mercer high-jacks characters you obviously have not seen him DM besides this extremely short game

This is so pro, it's almost a stage play. Production values, SFX, music, pro actors/voice actors, props, fog. Quite a contrast of what I remember back in '79 when I stopped playing :) Gygax would be proud. Even that DM screen is a work of art.

Something about D&D sessions like this are bringing up some ancient fundamental and deeply human thing about our human culture from our collective subconsciousness. I think humans for thousands of years were used to gather around the fire and tell each other stories just like a DM would to the players long before movies, but even books came into existence.

Matt's also great as a player of D&D. My favourite of him doing that involve two games where Chris Perkins is the DM. One is a D&D Live 2019 : The Descent part 4 game where Jim Zub played Minsc and Matt played Boo, the miniature giant space hamster. The other was Gamehole con 2018 where, with Patrick Rothfuss sitting beside him, they both tried to out role-play one another. Made stranger by the mechanic where audience members could donate to the charity the game was raising money for, to alter the adventure in real time. And one of the donations was responsible for the party being named... "mercer's mercenaries".
