Would be cool to have him at the table, but would probably make the most Mary Sue-ass character
>>48198786
Well, I would play with her...
As a player, he would just argue about alignments the entire session and that his character's obviously evil acts aren't actually evil and it's the alignment system that's broken and inaccurate. He would also berate the players of actual good-aligned characters for their selfless acts and how they take away the accomplishment of overcoming hardship from the people they're helping.
As a player in a system without alignments, his character would perform all sorts of shady acts and justify it as ruthless pragmatism, or say that his character is a superior ubermensch and deserves more than the rest of the feeble masses or some shit.
As a DM he would present plots with ham-fisted clumsy symbolism and force us into scenarios of questionable ethics and morality, and try to "teach us a lesson" about how heroism is dumb and goodness doesn't exist, and probably call us moralfags when we get mad at him for his crappy no-win plot where the villain turned out to be good all along.
Nothing but whores and moral ambiguity and unnecessary violence, while "reinterpreting" beloved NPCs and completely missing the point of what made them good. Also a heavy dose of strawmanning and forcing real-world politics into an inappropriate setting.

These are the ones I have trouble with. She is OK, until she decides to RP. And then it is just painful as fuck to listen to. Real cringe territory for me.
Everyone else is fine for the most part. But when she decides to speak in character it is just drowning in 'look at me, I am special emotional Mary Sue'.
>>48210687
yeah I have no problem with her as a person whatsoever.
she's obviously passionate about the hobby and does charity work.
her RP is just overpoweringly annoying.
>>48210687
My issue with her is that while other players manage to have moments of dialogue and interaction, those come off as drama.
When she roleplays, it comes off as her trying to "fake" drama, like someone who doesn't really understand what gravitas is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv0aljC1MjI
She seems to play emotionally inappropriate responses and an aversion to intimacy as her go to. Also drunk.

All valid points. But I see Liam pulling VERY similar shit, often misreading situations, and making them out as more dramatic/tragic than they are. Why does no one have a problem with him? Hell, even being an impartial devil's advocate I prefer his RP as well.
My belief is that this is because Marisha manages to be an SJW ingame, and super fucking selfrighteous a lot of the time, all while either misreading the situation, making her come off as trigger happy to jump to conclusions, or simply imposes a sense of 'justice' that is completely unviable in the world in which their characters preside.

This is one of those times I'm not drawing a hard line between character and player in regards to how they RP. The biggest problem I see is that the player can't seem to figure out what RP is without DRAMA!!!1! I swear she may hyperventilate one of these days while on the show.
>>48212449
Look, you aren't going to be able to argue me in to thinking Liam's character is well done. If I had to guess I would say that Liam was going through some bad times during character creation and this character is his expression of his inner twelve year old edgelord - your basic 'always sitting in a corner' combined with a 'I wanna be in love' character.
The guy i enjoyed the most was the guy that played the dragonborn. He was fun at least, and tended to be in character far more than the others (and his character tended to be something other than himself). But he was a tool one time too many, with some off table drama toolishness, and he is gone.

The viewers do not like her because her character is literally unbearable and the only one to even come close to calling her on it is based Percy.
Which is why i'm anticipating the 'Taliesin wants to make time for other projects so he's leaving' episode.
>>48214107
Orion was great.
Though your story isn't really syncing up with the first hand information he gave as to why he left the show. Do you have any evidence to back up your claim that it was due to 'offtable drama toolishness'?
Others are also welcome to interject any sort of evidence if they have it on hand.

Wheaton has a tendency to get the rules wrong when he's doing a show about a game, and when called on it will make a massive, rambling wall of text blog post throwing his producer or interns under the bus for not giving him the right cliff notes because he's a busy guy and doesn't have time to learn games and it's not his fault.

It's true. As far as I can tell, /pol/ does dislike /r9k/, on the whole - but it hates the root cause of /r9k/'s degeneracy more than the degenerates themselves.
And /r9k/ loves /pol/ because /r9k/ are some of the most disenfranchised people in the entire world, and /pol/ is full of people who aren't telling them they should be ashamed of themselves because of the way they were born.
So there's a bit of cross-contamination there.

Taliesin and Marisha are tight out of game though.
>>48215977
Not to mention when the fucking DM said 'no you can't do that' so he replied with 'lol I wanna roll for it anyway'. That sorta shit would be strike one for getting booted from the game, DM decides that limits of the world, he's not trying to fucking play against you.
>>48216117
Yeah. But they mentioned in the recent downtime episode that they can 'see their disagreement coming to a head soon' whatever that means, and I don't hold out much hope that Marisha can rein in her rage about someone daring to oppose her for long.
And all it would take would be a couple of words from her to the DM.

>>48215322
I figured it would be some specific event, the fact that he apparently does this semi-regularly is actually kind of impressive.
>>48215265
Part of it was when Orion flipped out on a fan for making a shirt based on his character. Or how about when Mercer went on Reddit and posted (and since deleted) about a player cheating and not being welcome at the table right when Orion stopped appearing on the show. The reason it took him so long to say anything was because the group was trying to remain cordial and give Orion an out, but by the time any statement was made, it was plain to see that he was removed and not voluntarily left.

I'm a Star Trek nerd who actually defends his acting as Wesley Crusher as not being his fault because of how shitty his character was written, but I still can't stand the guy. He had a lot of early internet blogs where he would seriously whine and complain about fucking everything, and I would read this at like 10 years old and be like, "man what is your deal."
He hasn't changed at all. Whoever is prescribing him meds or giving him counseling is committing robbery on a massive scale.

>>48220123
He's also been shown trying to metagame throughout the show (trying to get very specific anti-vampire stuff when he failed on his check to know what a vampire is truly weak to), gotten pretty drunk/loud on camera (they do a shift in seating where Taliesin goes between Marisha and Orion around the time they get back to Emon because he kept invading her personal space when the situation/scene didn't call for it), and was trying to make his character more important than he actually was (trying to call in a platoon of a foreign army to solve the vampire problem).
If you go back and look/think it over, you start to see just how cringy he was. And now he's tried to do his own thing with his character, but it's pretty bad from what I've heard/seen.

Keep in mind that they originally came over from Pathfinder, and Keyleth had a Charisma score of 6. She got a +2 from porting over to 5e, and her headband/circlet is something that gives another +2.
So if you keep that it mind it sort of makes sense that she's so cringe-worthy, and Marisha herself has said Keyleth is almost the exact opposite of her personality-wise.
Taliesin (the guy who plays Percy) sometimes metagames and tries to insert his character in certain situations that isn't called for, but he usually very quickly corrects himself. The character himself is played quite well (a guy immersed in self-loathing who invented/discovered guns and gunpowder and knows just how horrible his creation is and is trying hard to not let anyone else do the same).
Travis (the guy who plays Grog) originally just wanted to play a big, dumb, strong dude, but showed and evolved the character to prove that even big, dumb, meatheads can have important, roleplay moments.
Sam (who plays Scanlan) has probably grown the most on camera, going from comic relief into a pretty serious character while still maintaining his role of the "butt monkey" of the group.

I would fucking LOVE to game with Robin Williams.
I'd hate to game with Vin Diesel. He's a cool guy and I'm happy that he's such a strong advocate for fantasy media in general, every buddy cop script that gets scrapped for a dragon-and-princess adventure is a victory, but I feel like he's just built up too much persona to be a chill regular dude at a table. He'd be mildly intimidating, but worse than that he just isn't approachable - even when he's TRYING to be.
>>48222270
>fudging her rolls
That's one way to say; "Cheats like a bitch, lets other players die because their character has something she wants for her character, pretends she was never in a position to save that player, lies to the police so they end up having to interrogate the entire gaming group and keeps trying to bribe the GM for special favours... and gets them," sure.
>>48207259

Just tell him it's the screen test for LXG2.
>>48222318
Sounds about right. How about this guy as the DM? If he cuts out the rambling it might not be too bad.
>>48221486
Technically Grog is the best, but his self-imposed range limit of Big Dumb Barbarian cuts him off a lot. I think it's a really unfortunate choice because he's an intelligent well-spoken guy with a good head for tactics and better situational awareness than all the girls put together (they do try, yes even Marisha, but they are still girl-clumsy) and you can see him strain a little bit when he hits that "you're too stupid for this" wall. Everyone at the table is smart (even the girls) but he's probably the most D&D smart, playing the least D&D smart character, it's frustrating to watch.
Scanlan is probably the best at being a D&D character after Grog. He has a dynamic character that he doesn't overplay, and unlike Grog he can make full use of his abilities as a player, which makes him consistently entertaining and effective as a character.
Percy's really solid, but not standout. Vex is really standout, but she's shaky, she needs her bear or her brother or clear teammate-given objectives to shine.
Tiberius was always shit, I don't know why anyone ever liked him. Orion tries so fucking overhard it's not funny and his inability to match the group is agony.
Keyleth is Charisma 6, and like all Charisma 6 characters played accurately, it's a bad idea and grates after a while. Fans don't like her because she's deliberately being intolerable, not because she's a shit roleplayer. What she lacks is either awareness or interest of how she reads to an audience, she's there for the group and not the camera. Everybody else panders to the camera at least a little (this is correct to do).
Vax is comfortable in the metagame and pushes the edges of the group's style, which is not "cheating like a nigger," it's just belonging to a different tradition. He'd be right at home at many tables and his roleplay is fine, but he's not a great fit for Mercer's group.
Pike is "bad" but in the friend-who-loves-to-be-there-but-isn't-a-good-roleplayer way. It's forgivable.
>>48222378
>Keyleth is Charisma 6, and like all Charisma 6 characters played accurately, it's a bad idea and grates after a while.
Except she's not Charisma 6, she's Charisma 10.
And she's played like she's Charisma 3.
This would probably end badly.
>>48201488
Surely this is a jape, knave
>>48216206
I wouldn't want him to GM, but he seems like he'd be an entertaining player.
As soon as the miniatures and dice come out, the hunt begins.
>>48222392
WAS Charisma 6. Playing for 9 levels at Mercer's leveling speed at Charisma 6 probably locked it in for her. God knows no other player in the entirety of roleplaying history has been able to accurately model a +4 mental stat shift, so I don't think there's anything to pick on there.
Charisma 3 is either a tree that occasionally moves, but not in a cute Disney way that becomes endearing, or some kind of foaming goblin asshole.
It's Charisma 6. It's bad in any case, but I guess I'm unconvinced it's bad in any important sense - Critical Role is voyeurism much more than it is theater and I have a hard time faulting failure-to-entertain - so long as the group likes her, which they mostly do. Orion obviously too much, given the touching and the votekick and that they're not friends on social media any more; there are undoubtedly many reasons he was dropped but groping after the DM's girlfriend is deep retarded.
>>48222446
>groping after the DM's girlfriend is deep retarded
By that logic, Taliesin's next. They're all over each other pretty regularly.
And i'm afraid I have to disagree with the 'nobody ever managed to pull off a stat shift of +/- 4' because that sounds like complete bullshit, you raging white knight.
>>48222472
It's the EACH OTHER part that shields Taliesin. Maybe they're just great friends with good history, maybe that's just what Marisha tells Matt, but either way they're mutually happy together - Orion/Marisha became one-way real fucking fast. And as noted there were a lot of things contributing, I just think that was definitely one.
>And i'm afraid I have to disagree with the 'nobody ever managed to pull off a stat shift of +/- 4' because that sounds like complete bullshit, you raging white knight.
Don't be a cunt, you know it's true. You could have the goddamn lich-kings of the Globe Theatre for players and they still couldn't do +4. -4 is easy-peasy but no one at any table has ever done it the other way with success. No one even agrees on what those ratings look like (is Int 10 as smart as an average person today, as smart as an average peasant, or <variable fantasy comparison inserts here>? How much does +1 Int change your IQ? What roleplaying factors does Int even control, where does Int end and Wisdom begin, is eloquence a function of Intelligence or Charisma...) let alone what a +4 shift represents.
Irrelevant anyway, Marisha is a solid Cha 6, it's just that a solid Cha 6 is pretty close to unbearable over a much, much, much shorter timeline than Critical Role.

Had a game where I got hit with some magical disease from Book of Vile Darkness that gave me a larger head and a +4 to my Int. as a half-hour rogue in 3.5 DnD, went from a wide-ranging, street smarts dude to the beginnings of Batman-esque shit (went from a 12 to a 16) and started to try and direct the party in battle as best I could.
Unfortunately the rest were so lolrandumb that they started splashing that magical disease around, hoping to get lucky on the RNG table and instead killed their characters.
I tried to avoid it as best I could, which I think karma rewarded me for by not killing my dude outright. Got a new hair color, gained a bit of AC thanks to natural armor, and grew a vestigial tail, but that was it.
Just... don't use Book of Vile Darkness stuff ever, it makes games very dark and gritty for no reason.
>>48222472
The main thing with Marisha and Taliesin when they get touchy-feely is that it is implied to be Keyleth doing the touchy-feely moment with Percy, and they only do it for like 3 seconds at most to convey the emotion of the scene.
Keep in mind that most of the cast were theatre kids before becoming voice actors, and good theatre actors know when to draw the line between being touchy-feely for a scene and when it starts to invade on that person's personal space.
In-game I think Keyleth just thinks of Percy as a good friend and companion she can trust, even if they disagree on certain things.

Surely you jest. Vin Diesel has built a very specific brand for himself when it comes to movie roles, but whenever he shows himself off set he's one of the least intimidating people imaginable.

These can be legitimate statements though. The people who introduced me to roleplaying refuse to play anything other than PF, and some really only play mary sues and munchkin the fuck out of everything.

I've actually seen that.
Where the rest of the party is arguing over how to proceed, and if you take your attention off whoever's arguing and onto him, you can see he's visibly bored if not facepalming or clearly groaning internally at people being stupid.
He's all like "emancipate the kobolds."
And we're all like "dude, shut up man."
And so he's then all "split the loot equally."
And we're all like "Marx, fuck off man."

That whole game was kind of clunky and awkward desu. Vin is pretty chill when you get to know him. He's kind of shy about having the games over at his place sometimes though. Over the top kind of host, always packed up on the good snacks and drinks of everyones choosing.
But damn can that guy play a fucking ranger like nobody elses business.

Care to explain what you mean by that? I'm not sure I understand it in a tabletop context.

Not the guy you're responding to, but I'm guessing in this context it means someone who's habitually contrarian even when not appropriate, treating the most baby-kicking evil villains like misunderstood victims.

Now that you mention it, he does have a sci-fi series...
>>48222011
Given his apparent slide into partial insanity due to being unable to distinguish between his on- and off-stage personas, he would start playing something then end up in a horrific accident because he thought he could fly or something.

Except the non-autistic people in the group kicked him for those very reasons. You're the one with autism, friend.
>>48232888
Actually, GRRM writes almost exclusively science-fiction, but in his own words, the only difference between sci-fi and fantasy is "furniture."
>>48233286
You mean the autistic people in the group. The non-autistic people in the group wouldn't notice anything weird.
Doesn't know the rules, can't roleplay, keeps shouting "HELL IS REAL" in German
>>48233302
Huh, I only knew one, way before the Fire and Ice craze.
Tuf Voyaging, if anyone cares. Not bad, if terribly awkwardly written. Everyone speaks in purple prose and delivers exposition all the time.
Should I look into more of his stuff? Did it get better over the last 30 years?
>>48222237
>>48227800
The first anon was right, actually.
The story as I heard it is that he OD'd on something and realized he needed to stay awake all night or he might die, so he asked his wife to go out and buy him something to help him stay awake.
Some salesman recommended an NES with the original Legend of Zelda, it worked and he lived, and so he named his daughter Zelda.

Sam Riegel (playing Scanlan the gnome bard) is far and away the best RPer, even better than Travis(Grog).
Sometimes Travis oversteps his character's mental faculties, and he got a little embarrassing trying too hard during the Kevdak episode.
Sam is just 100% on-point at all times. He never does things that are out of character or metagaming, and he goes above and beyond with his improv singing. While other players are spending their time in town to buy potions and equipment, Scanlan goes nonmagical hat shopping or commissions a massive painting of himself.
Liam would be good if he had any self-awareness. He's complained multiple times about other players trying to perform "guitar solos" when he himself constantly scouts ahead of the party and goes on self-serving tangents.
>>48239633
>Sometimes Travis oversteps his character's mental faculties
To be fair, this is partly because Travis is probably pretty easily the smartest person in the whole group. If he had higher intelligence to work with, I don't think you'd notice the strain as much.
>>48233845
jesus, i don't
no
just
no
>>48233601
No. He's still a dirty hippy.
Here's my vote. Love his music and some of his movies, but he would probably be fucking awful to play with.
>>48239658
True, but even if Travis played a smarter character, I don't think he could match Sam's roleplaying.
I think one of the worst parts about Marisha is that her character has 22 wisdom and she plays it as 6.
He's basically the tumblriest man alive. Unbearable, on top of Dungeon World being a horribly inspired rip off. Acts like this RPG master but never even knows the rules of any of the games he runs or plays.
>>48239747
A lot of the time she thinks she's giving insightful advice but since she as a person has none to offer it's hard to convey. Kind of the problem with high mental stat characters sometimes.
>>48215769
The newest are top. But yes as far as I can tell, you're reading in reverse

>>48222378
>Keyleth is Charisma 6, and like all Charisma 6 characters, they should not even have been allowed to be made
I don't see why you're defending someone who willingly chose to roleplay an annoying character
>>48239833
Difficult to tell, actually. If we go by some of his stuff, he might end up being a lolsorandumb That Guy, but he might equally end up being a top-tier, mostly mild comic relief player with some insanely good bits of emotionally touching serious RP.
