the DM Lair's video: Is the Matt Mercer Effect Ruining D D

The question of Matt Mercer and Critical Role's effect on D&D--commonly dubbed the Matt Mercer Effect--has been a hot topic. Because of the false expectations that dungeon masters and players can come away with after watching Mercer and Critical Role, some people seem to think that they are ruining Dungeons & Dragons. This is of course preposterous. In this video, I discuss whether or not the Matt Mercer Effect is ruining D&D, and if not, who's really to blame.
