[QUOTE="zhivik, post: 7850178, member: 6966637"] It’s all very hypothetical at this point. Sure, CR are about to have an animated series on Amazon, which will give them greater exposure, but it doesn’t necessarily mean many more viewers of the CR show. After all, not everyone is willing to watch 4-hour streams of people playing a tabletop RPG. Regarding the possibility of going beyond D&D - I kind of doubt it, because Matt has been DMing D&D all his life and it takes time to switch to another system, even more so to develop one (the latter is about the possibility of a totally new CR tabletop RPG). If you have a game system well suited for streaming, why change it? My impression so far is that the cast are doing what they enjoy in their leisure time. For instance, Brian W. Foster’s Undeadwood limited series is based on the Weird West setting that uses the Savage Worlds ruleset, and I guess the reason is that he is a fan of Wild West settings. Taliesin Jaffe likes Vampire: the Masquerade a lot, so he may run another one-shot or a limited campaign at some point. I hear Ashley Johnson is a cyberpunk fan, so hopefully we can see a Cyberpank 2020/Red or a Shadowrun game from her :) My point is, no one at CR seems to be intentionally running away from D&D, they just do things they enjoy themselves. Sure, it can change at some point, but there is no way we can know that now. By the way, in this day and age, you never know what may appeal to people. Just look at Matt Colville’s stream - he did a Dune board game stream for fun, and now it looks a lot of people want more of it (there are three games posted so far, it’s a lot of fun, check it out). I think diversity is good, as it expands your horizons. For instance, I was never a fan of D&D before I came across CR; I’ve always enjoyed sci-fi or horror more, like Shadowrun, World/Chronicles of Darkness, etc. So the more diverse content you get, the better, in my opinion.
