Not My Cup of Tea

I found this to be a fun show, and it was clear that the cast were genuinely enjoying themselves. However, it wasn’t quite my cup of tea. First, I didn’t love that it was structured as a long-form campaign, as it sometimes felt like I was missing details from previous episodes. I imagine relatively few people attend every yegDND show during Fringe, so this made the narrative a bit perplexing at times.

That said, I thought the show was very clever in terms of its approach, though I found it somewhat light on humour. I would have enjoyed more jokes and silliness throughout. I also would have liked to see more audience input. The dice-rolling was a fun gimmick, but giving the audience more influence over the direction of the story could have added another layer to the improv and made the narrative feel less linear.
