Listening to @CriticalRole& #39;s #NarrativeTelephone & the cast wondering how @VoiceOfOBrien & @matthewmercer& #39;s stories had so many of the same elements makes me want to write about narrative tradition/narrative set-pieces in oral tradition & story telling in #CriticalRole in general
Narrative and @CriticalRole is actually something I& #39;ve been wanting to write about for a really long time, ever since the end of VM, and #NarrativeTelephone has just made me want to do it even more, but in two different directions.
Direction 1: At the end of #VoxMachina, we get to see Vax& #39;s story through three different lenses all at once in a way. We see it as it happens, as @matthewmercer, @VoiceOfOBrien and the rest of the cast are living it.
Then we see the eyewitness account, as it were, through the way Keyleth and Vex and the others talk about what is happening, and the things they chose to say about him. Then you get the way the rest of the world sees it through the way @matthewmercer spins the NPCS
Direction 2: Is the situation that I mentioned at the beginning of this thread where @matthewmercer heard a very different version of @VoiceOfOBrien& #39;s story, but because Liam held to traditional elements, Matt was able to work back to a lot of the original detail.
Anyway, that was super ramble-y, and I may never write it. But it& #39;s so interesting to see these things happening in real time, and it& #39;s one of the things that makes #CriticalRole so interesting to me.
