The last time I visited Fae'run was
° Baldurs Gate 2 ( like 15 years ago or so )
° Neverwinter Nights ( unclear when )
and when I saw "Critical Role" the webshow ever just so briefly. ( Not truly interested btw. )

I kind of doubt LarianStudios shares the same view about it.
There are only two universes I think are very clear to absolute everyone.
° Lord of the Rings
° Warcraft
Thats it. And whenever I see a truly free RPG about it unbound to videogame-mechanics, I see so much sh*t I can't even begin to describe it.
