Right? I mean, Critical Role is an...interesting...group of people too. Don't they have a couple trannies?
Like the games sound fun, and then I'm reminded that the people interested in this stuff and the people building this stuff are all autistic and likely should be on watch-lists.

It has a lot of genuinely nifty game concepts. One of the more intriguing is the idea of "spotlight" rather than a strict initiative system. Basically that people take actions as part of an encounter narrative rather than because it's their turn in the turn order. I could see this being very helpful in keeping people from more-or-less tuning out while they wait for their turn to come up.

That's crazy as hell. I've been subbed to Clownfish for years. I wonder if it was just a random Google search or he has visited FoH before.
I have the Daggerheart PDF and it's gay as fuck.

Mercer's wife is clearly a source of a lot of the super gay shit. You can see his shift from kind of "Hey I love DnD" to "Hey I love DnD and lets make every 4th character gay/trans/retarded"
Had a playgroup a couple of years back that started off normally enough, with a couple of dudes playing girls and what not. Completely fine. Then one of the "guys" started talking about how his teaching role was reducing his hours as an assistant because they felt his gender fluidity was impacting class. Guy showed up to the next session wearing pride-parade tier makeup and complained briefly about his gender journey and how it was impacting his work life. Another "guy" in the group (oddly enough, the other dude who was playing a female character) came out as gay to the group and started actively trying to romance the two other actual males who weren't clearly headjobs ingame.
GM thought it was awesome and continued to interject tons of gay/etc shit into every encounter, complete with constantly trying to have sentient gear that was incredibly gay/etc. Every bartender was a lesbian, half the dudes in town were married to other dudes, etc. I quit and the two coworkers I had in the group quit as well. It went from basically a normal DND game to the most faggoty shit possible. Bohemian Grove and Nixon faggotry.
I am 100% positive none of these people even thought about playing DnD before Critical Role came out. My opinion is it has been a net negative for tabletop roleplaying as a whole. They literally let the floodgays open.

Haha, that's pretty fucked up. I agree with the critical role thing
though. Anytime we ever played, everyone played a male character because we're a bunch of dudes cracking fag jokes during the campaign if the DM made a gay NPC shop keeper or something for a laugh.
Never had women play with us. Closest was this guy from work who was a 3.5 power gamer, which was annoying. He caught wind of the campaign I was running at work and asked if he could join. Wasn't a bad guy, just min maxing seriousness while I was running a pretty easy going / fun game.
Our ritual though was on Saturday we would take turns when we met at my buddy's house, and someone would typically bring stuff to make a big dinner for everybody. I think the second time he played I had made a massive pot of homemade spaghetti, and he asked if his wife could come over and join us for dinner when we were taking a break. Said sure, what the hell, there's plenty.
She was like 5 ft, and almost as wide. Bitch proceeded to 3 massive plates and maybe half a baguette of garlic bread. The rest of us just sat there in shock. There wasn't a lot of leftovers. He never asked to invite his wife over again.

Oh man so crit role being such a total opposite to my play group is hillarious.
Our paladin literally crushed a walnut with ss cheeks to impress a very busty older cougar who happened to be in possession of something we needed.
He also bedded a Yuan-ti priestess and lived...and then some lol.
But the best was I did a bit of planescap stuff. We ended up at a bar from the ttrpg Tales from the Floating Vagabond. One of the guys ended up having a 3rd arm with a hand and all, but it was also his dick. And he did surprise KO people with it bursting from his fly.
As for gay characters. I did make a lesbian couple one time. They ran a candle shop that also sold local honey, and also sold soft recreational drugs. Like two hippie chicks in their late 50s. It just felt believable.
I did one outlandish male npc who was a huge fop. He was pretentious and limp wristed. He had seen somthing and was there to inform the party.
I've randomly made dude npa bears. Because it's funny and makes 2 of my friends uncomfortable and or disgusted when they heavily hit on him.
But I've never made an npc thats in a gimp suit with pink hair and makeup. That's just unrealistic imo.
Do I run into that in RL? of course I live in ny lol. But even then in person I feel its fake and done for attention.

That kind of sounds like the goofy shit we would do in our campaigns. I remember in our second MERP campaign with our original characters from the first getting into epic levels, we were having a gather up five organs of a guy who was essentially immortal. Had to sail out to an island to retrieve a kidney or something, and ended fighting a kraken. For some reason someone wanted to keep a goddamn tentacle for food or to sell, I don't remember what, but it had started a right and for some dumb reason my buddy who was playing The Hobbit thief decided to fuck it, and then critically failed his resistance roll and got some horrible disease that we had to go find a cure for.
I want to say in that campaign though every time we found an organ we had to destroy it but there would be some sort of explosion, and it got bigger and bigger, so we had to come up with clever ways to get rid of them without killing ourselves. I think the last one we needed was the heart which the bad guy actually had, epic battle ensues, everyone's getting killed while I'm dueling Lord Daanku, buddy runs off with the heart gets hit by arrows, bites into it and everything is vaporized for a couple of miles.
It wasn't until years later when I was rereading the Silmarillion, call my friend who was the DM up one morning on the way to work, and asked him if Daanku was the Gondorian Lord that led an army to Minus Morgul. He was like I'm finally glad somebody caught on to that. I just remember in the campaign somebody saw a vision of the witch King operating on somebody with dark magic, now I remember the name of the gondorian guy, but the witch came ended up enslaving him to Sauron.
Man, just really fun stuff, and those four MERP campaigns taking place in the fourth age was some of the most fun I ever had playing tabletop, and my buddy who ran them was great at building a massive story over decades gamewise.
We never took it too seriously and it really all was about just hanging out and having a good time, drinking beer and barbecuing. The great thing is we all still talk about it to this day, and those campaigns were 25 years ago, but they we're pretty memorable. Just all kinds of Goofy stories or events of this each doing something retarded because it's fun and you're willing to gamble on that roll either do something completely heroic and amazing, or something completely horrendous and hilarious.
I honestly feel bad for the people in never and gave it a shot, cuz it is just a good wholesome activity, as long as there aren't a bunch of fags around, but plenty of cold beer, good food,.and great friends.

Oh man that all sounds fucking amazing dude. And as a forever DM I can't tell you how great it feels when my friends talk about their adventures. Or they tell other work or friend groups about them. And they are like holy shit!
Age check lol. Yeah my full extended party part is all guys and a few gals. But we are all 40+ with those dark 80s sat morning cartoon memories.
