Due to the improv nature of Critical Role and other RPG content on our channels, some themes and situations that occur in-game may be difficult for some to handle. If certain episodes or scenes become uncomfortable, we strongly suggest taking a break or skipping that particular episode.

MODERATORS
You ain’t kidding about the stir in the community. I’m with you and happy to have Daggerheart take over for the system. 5e had its success in use over the pandemic and is as far as some people are willing to go learning gaming systems.
You can tell some of the more vocal opponents in the comments are from those who have memorized facts to gain satisfaction simply from correcting others and won’t have that in Daggerheart. Since the initiative system is freeform, the arguments change from those ordered operations that can be predicted to the unpredictable and “would’ve/could’ve/should’ve” theorizing sessions that more people can contribute to.
