Critical Role

Oh yes.  They are all actors, particularly in the voice over/video game world.  They are great, the best tabletop streamers out there bar none.  Even if you aren't into D&D, it's great.

[Nolder]

I haven't watched any since I last posted.

Been watching regular TV shows and such.

[The Bard Babe]

Ok I finally started and I love them XD Started on season 1 because I can't skip. Orion isn't super my jam, but I adore Sam/Scanlan and all of the characters are growing on me as it goes on. Vax also, but I've always been a sucker for a rogue. 

[The Bard Babe]

Dang, I am super into this show now so I'm gonna stamp around until someone comes and talks to me about it. 

The DM is simply the best. 

[Nolder]

I keep thinking about watching again and then I dont. Keep getting distracted by other stuff.

[Nolder]

Grog vs Kern rematch in The Crucible was basically Wrestlemania status. Wow.

[Arie]

It's addictive. >.> I 'needed' a brain break as i'm in the (third) rewatch of the chroma conclave arch. 

 

I'm really liking the grit of the current season. It feels so different and unique from the first season that I don't feel is fair to compare anymore. Which really is a testament to Mercer's ability to world-build and storytelling.

[Nolder]

I'm still catching up. For me they just got back to Emon after leaving Vasselheim.

[Nolder]

So for those of you who are further ahead, no direct spoilers please, but I'm curious has anyone in the party died yet and had to make a new character? I don't want to know who or how just if it's happened yet.

[Arie]

In the new campaign, yes. It was kinda heartbreaking.: :(

Oh ok. Wow I can't wait to find out who it was. If I had to guess I would say Grog or Percy. Grog is just a meat shield and Percy doesn't have much in the way of magical defense iirc. What is the "new campaign" by the way?

[Arie]

 

"New Campaign" They finished the one which you are on, and started a second. Roughly after 114/115 episodes of the first. The campaign you are on has some very harrowing deaths, but none that can not be healed by strong magics.

 

Though, one does roll up a new character in first. ?

Uhh does anyone know where episode 32 is?

[Nolder]

Nevermind. Had to go to the actual G&S website to find it.

Idk why it's not listed on youtube.

 

Edit: Nevermind x2. I guess I'm just dumb. Ignore me.

 

To make this post not 100% pointless, has anyone here bought CR merch?

I have! I have the first Art Book, Pencils, and the RPG Setting. And it's delicious with information!

 

I personally do subscribe to ProjectAlpha.com. I don't have to fight with the episodes and I gain access to so many other goodies. (Only thing I actually subscribe to and use!!!). If you're ever missing the episodes i do believe they are also available on the G&S website.

[Nolder]

What is project alpha? A fan site?

 

Also... Spoilers question...

 

Do you know what happened to Tiberius? Why did he quit the show? The party is seriously lacking in arcane power now. Scanlan is good but he's not as powerful and Kyleith keeps misreading her damn spells and messing up! They need some kind of wizard.

[Arie]

Project Alpha is a subscription-based streaming service that allows Geek & Sundry and Nerdist to basically make whatever content they want. You get access to a lot of shows that I found worth giving my money to instead of Twitch.

 

So, Orion went down a spiral of depression and drugs and took a game hiatus. While it wasn't related to the cast or show, it was a personal issue he had to deal with. He has mended the friendships since this time, but he no longer participates in the show and hasn't since he left.

The party balances out a little bit after. All the Druid spells are a b!tch to track, they have soooo many!!, but Marisha figures it out eventually. :D

Ohh I see. Yeah it's probably better for them than Twitch itself but I can see why it might not be for everyone.

Oh no...That's too bad.

? I'm glad he got through it though. And yeah the Druid spells seem reeeaaally powerful and cool that's why it's been a bit frustrating watching her mismanage them. Looking forward to seeing her get a better handle on it.

 

Thank you for answering my questions by the way I really appreciate it.

How about a fun one? Who is your favorite character?

 

As I've watched my opinion on this has changed. It's a very hard race between Scanlan and Vex but I have to give it to Vex. Her never ending desire for more loot, an armored bear trained for war that rarely sees battle, and high passive perception just really does it for me. Oh and the winking.

 

It's unfortunate because I think Travis is like my favorite person there but he plays Grog who is an idiot and he kind of has to go with that for role-playing purposes. I think if/when they eventually make new characters whoever Travis makes will be my favorite. But until then it's Vex.

[Nolder]

 

Just as an aside the role play romance between Vax and Keyleth makes me feel very awkward. Doubly so since I think irl Vax is married and Marisha is dating Mercer if I'm not mistaken. Can we just...not?

Liking it so far. Plenty of entertainment, and has me jonesing to get my D&D on.

[Nolder]

I've never played.

[Arie]

*waggled* well, it just might make you want to! ? 

 

*encourages on*

[Nolder]

I think I'll stick to my old choose your own adventure books for now.

I don't know anyone who plays and I'm not in the market for new friends.
