I don't have any strong feelings abt matt mercer dming for d20. I am enjoying seeing the intense reactions of everyone else tho

#matt mercer doesn't need this publicity I don't get why they did it #my feed is full of people both hating on matt mercer and loving him #my interest in this season is entirely dependent on the players and setting #like I'm not a huge matt mercer fan cause I don't have 5 free years to watch cr #but I don't hate him. I liked him on eftbk and pirol #this move feels v like. idk fan servicy? giving the people what they want #which makes me wonder if they are going to kinda lean into the oops all dms idea that has been around for years #and have like. aabriya brennan and murph as some of the players #I mean I'm 100% sure down to my bones that brennan will be playing it would be crazy of them not to put him there #I also do wonder if they'll maybe bring some lesser known players and use matt mercer drawing in people to like. give them some publicity? #I will say. I have seen people be like #and acting like it's some moral failure on the side of the show and that's. fucking crazy to me #like. d20 can still value giving platform to smaller creators while collaborating with Matt mercer #it's crazy to act like every single new dm has to be a smaller creator #plus even if you hate matt mercer you gotta acknowledge that without critical role d&d and actual plays wouldn't be where they are now #like it v much brought it into the mainstream and a new level of success #like I can't see a world in which d20 and exists without critical role's success paving the way
