Saved yall a click.
I’m not generally into watching other people play video games and TTRRPGs (though as sportsball fan I can’t judge), so I waited a while and then came in cold on Vox Machina, but after letting the tone of it wrap around me, I decided I really like it. They really take a very generic setup and let it breathe enough to make them interesting.
I also realized that their dungeonmaster/CEO/“assorted voices” guy is one of the creatives behind a guilty pleasure of mine from several years back, the microbudget “Mythica” series that is, no surprise, pretty much just a D&D campaign, with just enough money thrown at Kevin Sorbo to get him to do a day of filming so he can be on the cast for the streamers.
love how these means we’ll be getting two critical role series a year with mighty nein coming in the fall/winter :)
