Customer Reviews
Critical role
Started playing D&D in 82 while stationed in Germany. Loved the game, I’ve been playing off and on since then. Found critical Role when I was looking for a pod cast to listen too. I’ve listen to all the sessions for both campaigns watched a few live shows. On my second time through second campaign, already went through campaign 1 again.
No Misophonia accommodations
Let me start by saying I love this show! The storytelling aspects, the characters, and the quality voices all make this the best dnd podcast out there. Unfortunately the cast being surrounded by high gain microphones make all the other sounds amplified in a very big way.
I can hear Ashley open the bag of chips and start munching and crunching away. I can hear Sam unscrew the the top of his flask and take a drink. I can hear liquid being poured into a cup. When I hear these sounds, it takes me completely out of the moment and makes me instantly turn the podcast off. I can only come back when I’m prepared to endure the sounds that I know will make me want to actually scream.
Still Great
I started listening at beginning of campaign 2, and campaign 3 is still great. Also enjoy the other content like Candella Obscura, and the animated series on Netflix.
