Critical Role have done a handful of other games as one shots. Call of Cthulhu comes to mind. Not that I watch/ listen to Critical Role. A few of our group find it way too polished and we can’t relate to it. It’s not like our experience of RPGs. :D
I’m in total agreement though. I was talking to a co-worker and she was astonished that a game like Tales from the Loop existed and TTRPGs weren’t all high fantasy.

Critical Role has done Call of Cthullu, Deadlands Reloaded and World of Darkness. Just off the top of my head. They may have done more.

Geek and Sundry does Vampire, Cypher systems, Ten Candles, Dread and others.

This episode was….yeah….not your best.

So after recording the episode we did find out that there were other games that they played. Also the Power Rangers one that I have mentioned that is an official endorced game with guest stars is Power Rangers Hyperforce.

Hummm….I’m too used to facebook where I can edit out the douchyness out of my knee jerk reactions. Oh well! Sorry :/

What inspired this episode wasn’t C.R. or any show at all. Instead, it’s the media’s understanding of our hobby, which seems to have gone beyond, “D&D is vanilla,” to, “D&D is the only ice cream.” On the episode, I said it was a CNN article that broke the camel’s back, but it was actually an NYT article. You can find a link to that article (and a bunch of other examples) compiled here…

Shows like C.R. only got even passing mention because they use D&D as their flagship game. Though let me stress again that I have nothing but love for these other shows, D&D as a game, etc. I’m just annoyed that the public perception is our entire hobby consists of one title. That thesis alone is what this episode was about.
