  • Yeah you are right to foresee the comparison. Anyone who isn’t familiar with both to the point where they can differentiate their perspectives on their work might inform opinions on Colville’s/MCDM’s work by knowledge of Mercer/Critical Role’s work. Plus them sharing a first name doesn’t help.



  • To be honest with you, I don’t think comparing MCDM to Critical Role is apples to apples.

    I love watching Critical Role! They produce a fantastic spectacle. But their success doesn’t come from a deep understanding of the game or innovative ideas as far as game design goes. I don’t really pay attention to their promotions and stuff so I can’t say much about it.

    MCDM, the way I see it, has a focus on producing game supplements, and a secondary entertainment aspect which promotes their focus. Similar to how I don’t investigate Critical Role’s systems etc., I don’t really tune into MCDM’s games to listen to.
