I don't have friends so what am I doing? But it came with nerd dice and a d20 click clacking on a wooden table is so nice.

I've never played D&D - it's always seemed too complicated and like it would take too long.

I was never more than vaguely interested until I started watching Critical Role and then it became kind of an obsession. And now I'm super into the idea of finding my character's height and weight through dice rolls cause that's a thing.

What would compel you to start watching a series about D&D if you've never been into it before? Boredom?

And if you don't have any friends, how you gonna play?

EDIT: Kickass shirt btw

Basically. But it's done by voice actors doing hardcore role play so it's as good tv as anything scripted. And hundreds of episodes 3-4 hours long so it's a rabbit hole. Legit a top 5 Internet thing.

I do have the one friend who doesn't know what I now have planned for him.

That's pretty cool, you must be rather open minded - I don't think I'd hop into a show like that unless I was very familiar with D&D. So have you never played D&D before? Will this be your first time?

I haven't bought it yet, but I'm really considering buying this seltzer making machine. Just need to load it up with water and it carbonates it. About $80, but would save me money so I don't have to buy canned seltzer and it'll be great to not have to deal with recycling the cans every week.

I feel like an absolute dumbass because I didn't even know seltzer machines were a thing until today. I guess my stupid ass thought it took industrial machinery or something.

I mean the in for me was that it was basically a show to watch with drama and intrigue rather than just some random people playing a game. But I'm always looking for the next internet rabbit hole tbh. This just happened to be a next level thing you simply can't expect unless you just happen to to get blasted by it. Give it ten minutes, bro. It'll give you a hundred hours.

As it's a Twitch stream (uploaded to Youtube) it has an intro you can skip so you can skip to here to avoid all the stream whatnot you don't need to hear.

Or you can skip even the prologue to get straight to the beginning of the narrative.

I watched about 20 minutes of it, the joy these people feel is actually a little infectious. They're all obviously really into it. I gotta admit - though I've never played D&D, it does look like a lot of fun, and I'd imagine the more people you have, the more fun it is.

That said, I don't think I could watch it for an extended period of time. It's kinda the same deal I have with "Let's Plays" of video games. After a while, I don't want to watch it anymore, I just want to play myself, y'know?

Oh - by the way - I did give the Great Milenko a couple listens recently. I gotta admit - I liked it more than I thought I would. The beats were a lot tighter than I thought they'd be. And also, the rapping reminded me specifically of B-Real (which is not a bad thing). Thanks for making me finally give these guys a listen. I consider myself a pretty big hip-hop head (I think a large majority of my early years on MB was spent focused on hip-hop [and classic rock]), but I'd always had an unjustified bias against ICP, just because of the bad press they got, I suppose. I can't speak for their other stuff, but The Great Milenko is tight.
