Happy belated 10 year anniversary to Critical Role and Campaign 3 Wrap up.
Fearne and Ashton were my fav chaotic C3 Bells Hells ship.

While I'm unsure if I'll be keeping up with CR going forward, I'm happy for the amazing decade of fun and content and wish the brand and everyone involved all the best for the future and many happy returns!

My main hobby is modding and painting Nerf and other foam dart blasters, I saw this new one and my first thought was Retort. So I disassembled, painted and rebuilt it. Still fully functional, but also a great prop for a Percy cosplay.

okay i honestly just have absolutely no one to talk to about this and i’m kind of freaking out!!! tell me why i’m going through the how i met your mother cast (i’m watching the show and HORRIBLE with actor names) and realized he literally plays IN the show AND in a critical role campaign AND in one piece (live action)?! like i know him from the big bang theory and i know he’s a big actor but to know him from an episode (TBBT) where a bunch of actors and famous people sit around and play d&d and then to see him actually playing is just kind of funny and mind blowing LMAO so yea just my slow brain clicking together how major of an actor he actually is😭😭

Finally catching up on the third campaign. I'm going to sleep and will watch the next one tomorrow, but seeing the cast playing their roles simultaneously and seamlessly was such an inspiration to me as an actor and tabletop player.

I'm really excited to see how much crazier all this can get, I'm finally so close to the end!

Fluff [no spoilers] A funny full-circle from exandria unlimited that I found fascinating.

Upvotes

So at 3:07:30 on the youtube video to the first episode, Matt as a player does something that leads to the cast and Brennan referencing Tetris.

Matt then says "LINE PIECE", in what I think is a reference to this specific video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alw5hs0chj0

A 15 year old video, from the old Collegehumor days.

Collegehumor, which would end up hiring Brennan Lee Mulligan years after the video releasing.

Collegehumor ended up turning into Dropout, which airs Dimension 20 with Brennan as the main GM.

The popularity of Dimension 20 lead to Brennan being a known GM, which lead to him being a guest GM on Critical Role.

Which leads to Matt playing at his table, making a reference to a video that his employer's predecessor made 15 years ago.

I work at Medieval Times in Buena Park and Ashley came and watched the show, I wasn’t in it today so I didn’t get to take any pictures or anything but I did get the opportunity to say hi and talk to her about what I do. She was extremely nice, and asked a lot of cool questions about my job. Very few of my coworkers know CR so I just wanted to tell someone.

I want to attend the live show in Indianapolis the weekend of Gen Con, I’m aware when they attend conventions they do photo ops and autographs but as the live show is not apart of Gen Con will there be no opportunity for that?

Hi all! This is my first live show and I’m not sure what to expect in the audience… do people exchange bead bracelets? Any other swap stuff or cute customs I should know about? I know a lot of people cosplay, but I don’t cosplay myself.

Any advice welcome!

Discussion [No Spoilers] Cocked Die + D&D Beyond Sheets

Upvotes

Having just finished watching Wildemount Wildlings episode 1, and witnessing both of these snags again honestly feels like Chinese water torture (hyperbole). It throws the tempo just so off every time.

Can someone please explain the usage of the D&D beyond app when it so often soils the bed, and is vastly outperformed by sheet systems like MPMB? I'm assuming its some sort of contractual obligation with WotC? Even Matt having access to their sheets and being able to manually drop items, and abilities in doesn't make up for the tension being broken in every big fight.

COCKED DIE, the biggest ever D&D content producers cant like, get drawers added under the tables with die separated in columns poker chip style? Or just get dice trays with gutters around the edges so you don't keep unused die in the tray.

The response i'm anticipating to this is "they're just having fun" and "if you don't like don't watch" which have their place, but CR is a corporation that plays the game of being one, setting up a charity for tax exemption, paywalls, they are all millionaires, and I quite happily pay for their product! (Beacon + Merch) The fact that something as stupid, and insignificant have had multiple posts made on them over YEARS, and the staff who presumably do frequent these subs somewhat often (right?) haven't taken any measure to adjust is wild to me. It seems unprofessional, which gives me this uneasy feeling for the future given all the apprehension which surrounded C3, and them not listening to fans.

Edit* Spelling and grammar.

Fluff [CR Media] Brennan is a genius. Spoiler

343 Upvotes

After watching all of the main campaigns and a few one-shots, I always felt that I needed a bit of time to warm up to the characters before I could truly appreciate them. But somehow, Brennan managed to create and play a character so well that, at least for me, he is already an instant contender for the best character of all of CR.

And yes, “best” is subjective and multifaceted, but I have never experienced a player character who makes me laugh at every single interaction and whose every move is a comedic or even sometimes storytelling banger.

I'm a little sad that there will only be two more episodes featuring him (and the others as well).

Discussion [No Spoilers] What color of dice bag should I get my wife?

3 Upvotes

My wife is a huge fan and loves dice. I looked on their shop and there are blue, gray, green, and red Dice Bag's of Hoarding.

She is a huge fan of Laura Bailey and would love one of those for her upcoming birthday. Does Laura have a color of bag she most often uses in the show? I'd want to get that color for my wife.

If there isn't a most used color I'll just pick a color I think she'll like but figured I could check with y'all first!

Fluff [No Spoilers] Just wanted to share

26 Upvotes

I'm a fairly new fan of Critical Role - it has been on my radar for a while and I watched most of the animated series already but finally started watching the streams properly a month ago. Oh boy do I have a lot of content ahead of me. Every work lunchbreak for the next 10 years is booked up!

I'm sure there are better gifs and images out there, but I just wanted to share this screenshot halfway through episode 17. I love it and how it captures each character.

It almost looks like Orion has had a glimpse into his future while everyone else is just having a ball.

I've never played D&D but man it would be great ... if I had friends nearby that would actually play with me. These guys are so lucky in that respect.
