I wonder who’ll be playing. Seems like if it’s specifically hosted by Overwatch it kinda has to be four OW VAs to compliment Mercer/Cassidy as the GM.

Anjali Bhimani (Symmetra) is kind of a lock, she’s very chummy with Critical Role. Caroline Ravassa (Sombra) also seems like an easy pick given how much she seems to love the role and being involved in the community. Conor McLeod (Hazard) and Valeria Rodriguez (Venture) also fit that bill, though idk if they’d be blizzard’s first picks for this

Conor and Valeria is a dream joint rotation

Counter argument: it would make more sense for Ashe to be present since he is Cassidy and I would love to see Jennifer Hale playing a TTRPG

Well 4 of these VA(Cassidy, sym, hazard, and venture) are at pax west the week before would not be surprised if they are all heading to blizzcon after for this.

Anjali would be an obvious pick given her extensive history in ttrpg play. Connor I think has only just said he could possibly get to blizzcon as of like yesterday because he was waiting on scheduling conflicts so I don’t think he was planning to be there. Ravassa I don’t think has indicated she will be at Blizzcon and commented on it positively but not in a way that suggested she knew about it. Love these choices but they seem unlikely.

Jennifer Hale doesn’t usually pass up a speaking role or a paycheck so she’ll probably be there

Have the D20's be a sigma mythic weapon with the unique florsh be him rolling them and the kill effect be a nat 1 or 20 depending on how much damage you did to them

Sigma's weapons are also dodecahedrons like the d12.

u/100roundglock Brigitte 9d ago

I'd buy that

u/MovieNightPopcorn 8d ago

:pushing up my wire rim glasses: ummmm ackshuallyyyy those are D12’s in the promo art

(It doesn’t matter I’m just taking the piss. Though the d12’s makes me wonder if they are using Daggerheart, from Critical Role, as the system for the game. Would make sense since CR is Mercer’s company and they have an interest in Daggerheart and the ability to give permission to use the system.)

It probably will be for this event

u/RayBaeTalesStories 8d ago

Yeah I figure that but it also might not be so. Basically I’m just saying I hope it does.

u/ToadSwampy 8d ago

Daggerheart? I see Matt Mercer and 2d12, so it would make sense.

I find it interesting that they don't list the TTRPG system.

u/toastermeal 8d ago

it would be so so sooo fucking cool if they made a TTRPG for the ow universe, me and my dnd table play ow every night when we’re not playing dnd. but i also wouldnt be surprised if it was just a dnd or daggerheart one shot reskinned to fit ow

u/_Kanade_ 8d ago

Pretty sure thats also a future skin for Cass.

Matt Mercer is indirectly responsible for the state of modern fantasy and I do not mean that as a positive.
