I'd be up for Pandemic.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yay Gud! Anyone else?

I've never played it, so I'd need all the low-level explanation, but I'm up for it!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'd be in for it, nice to be a player for a change. I own Pandemic but not Legacy.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm probably more excited than I should be about Critical Role starting their new campaign on Thursday. (Good time to jump in for newbies, BTW, since they're playing on a different continent a generation or two after the end of the previous campaign.)
Also, the group is a giant bunch of dorks (in the best way.) [link]

That will be fun. I got hooked on the first campaign which I'm not done listening to yet.

You'll be happy to know they're planning on trying to release the podcasts of the new episodes about a week after they air (rather than releasing them in giant blocks every so often like they had to do with the first campaign.)

Ah cool. I still have quite a ways to go on the current campaign though. There are times listening I do get curious about what is showing up on the video feed.

Yeah, I could never do the podcast version. I have a bad habit of tuning out something I'm only listening to while doing something else. I've tried having the episodes up on one monitor while doing something on the other and I constantly end up rewinding because I've completely lost track of what's going on.
I also love watching their facial expressions and there are some great physical humor moments that obviously don't translate to audio only. Matt also does some great mannerisms with his NPCs. I understand the podcast is a lot more convenient for a lot of people, though.
If you haven't already I would suggest looking up some highlight videos on YouTube of Matt playing some of the NPCS (I don't know where you are in the story so I don't want to spoil anything by making specific recommendations.)

I need to head to bed, so I'll have to catch the rest of the episode sometime this weekend, but the new campaign is off to a good start. I can't decide if Nott or Jester are my favorite of the new characters.
