Stranger Things and Critical Role also played a part in growing the player base, I think. At least in my current group Stranger Things helped motivate people to start playing.

- henriquecm8 4y ago> Stranger Things and Critical Role I was taking to a friend about this, Stranger Things and Critical Role, bought a lot of new players to D&D, meanwhile WoTC isn't doing half as much, they could be doing an animated series, to explore the settings. They are making a live-action movie, it isn't the first, but this one has a bigger budget.
- ryneandal 4y agoI really think an animated series with some of their more popular novelized campaigns and characters is the way to go to seek out mass appeal. I'd love if they followed Critical Role's lead and signed with a streaming service for an easy-to-pitch series like Drizzt's life or (my preference) the Companions of the Hall. Live action can be great, but often times fantasy settings can completely fail in how they're translated to the big screen (See: the WarCraft movie).

- alickz 4y agoCRPG video games are also having a bit of a renaissance right now. Between Obsidian (Pillars of Eternity), Larian (Divinity Original Sin, Baldurs Gate 3), and Owlcat (Pathfinder WOTR) it's a good time to be a CRPG fan and the genre seems quite popular.
