Are you sure you're on the right subreddit?

So I came here to check out the end of campaign theories and it kind of blew me away how many commentors in these threads were going on in depth about why the story was bad and the team's choices are wrong. And y'all it has me confused.

I've seen people criticizing Matt for not honoring the rules of the game, I've seen them coming at him for not executing a realistic story: wild expectations considering how often the two are at total odds.

I've seen people criticizing him for not doing it as well as Brennan Lee Mulligan - also just bonkers. D20 is episodic and runtime for campaigns are like 40 hours or less. Runtime for campaign 3 must be well over 400. You may as well criticize JRR Tolkien for not being more like Douglas Adams.

And most of all I'm not understanding the expectation people seem to be showing up with that the cast needs to be meeting some kind of metric or hitting the right storytelling marks, to me that just feels antithetical to the spirit of collaborative storytelling as a medium.

It feels like the cr team has been consistently transparent that they are playing a game catered to themselves and to each other. And hey, it's a little messy and lazy and weird and the characters might be evil and it's not the show it started as and I wouldn't have made some of the choices they did - and I love all of those things about it. That is what I love about this show. Here's hoping it always lets its rough edges stay rough, they're what make it beautiful.

And my guess is a lot of people here feel that way, you don't have to be one of them, I just hope that they remember to keep their voice on their own page.

That's all✌️
