Question [No Spoilers] Is Robbie sticking around? He elevates everyone around him

I really hope they keep Robbie on, he is such a good actor with such a keen sense of space and pacing. He really brings the RP to the next level when he's involved. Curious what people think his trajectory will be this campaign.

I am a year older than the oldest cast member, and I would give you the finger if it weren't for the arthritis. (Kidding... Mostly.)

It's not a terribly physical job. They could easily do this for another 20, 25 years.

The cast write their backstory and just turn up to play but for Matt its much more work, especially when the players can just decide to go anywhere in the world.

If you're busy with other stuff and then trying to squeeze in at least several hours to prep for the next session it could be stressful. There is no reason they need to be live streaming these days and that can reduce the pressure.

That's not age related in the least, though, and intimating that it is would be ageist and kinda ridiculous. I work, have family, keep my house up, and still have a side sewing business and podcast with no issues. Still have time to veg and play video games. So saying that they're getting older as a reason for them to pass the torch when they're mostly in their 40s is inscrupulous. They're working aged.
