Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matt Mercer talking about their friendship and Dungeons & Dragons for an hour was an absolute delight. I love them expressing the sentiment: This isn't a competition between actual play shows. Dimension 20 and Critical Role aren't competing against each other. They're a community. They build each other up by collaborating. And look how successful they've been. We get different stories from diverse creators because they lift one another up and spotlight and celebrate other creators.
Actual Play being a community is responsible for introducing me to so many of my favourite storytellers, and if it had been competitive and cutthroat, I would've never found their stories. What a horrible loss that would be for us all.
