For Better or Worse, Dungeons and Dragons' 'Mercer Effect' May Have a New Heir in Critical Role Season 4
The 'Mercer Effect' has haunted Dungeons and Dragons for a decade, and Critical Role Campaign 4 could revitalize the phenomenon in a big way.
Though Dungeons and Dragons has been around since 1974, the last decade has seen it explode in popularity. One of the biggest contributing factors has been popular actual play series like Critical Role, a TTRPG show featuring famous voice actors like Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, and Matthew Mercer. Attaching these big names to Dungeons and Dragons drew thousands of new fans to the hobby, causing a TTRPG boom that has intensified over the years.
