So, I think Brennan is doing great, if you want to see more of his DMing you can watch Dimension 20 on the Dropout streaming service. I usually don’t like to promote paid services here, but as a Dropout subscriber, I’ll say it’s been worth it for me, not only for Dimension 20, but Game Changers and Um Actually. So maybe get Dropout.
Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
Watching intently, but I keep getting distracted by the CC spelling "hodmedod" in any other way than how it's spelled.
Brennan: "I'm gonna improvise an important piece of lore right now."
Mercer, probably: "fuck yeah!!! Let's go!!"
Is this scripted?
I think we would like to have a oneshot about the Raven queen and how she ascended, that would be very cool to know more about
surely this can't be critical role. a door didn't stand a chance to that statue.
why does it seem like all of these players alignments are evil? a cleric is straight up helping being upfront and honest to a fiendish 'god'.
EXU campaigns really got us feeling bad for the Betrayer Gods 😂😂
2:10:00
I wish Brennan didn't reveal what the BOOM was until AFTER break like a true evil genius.
man I would be so terrified if I was in Brennans shoes being given someone elses baby that has been crafted over the past decade and show this important time in its history its not like this is new this is events that have already happened in the cannon like I know that Matt probably would be fine with some stuff getting messed with but that is still a terrifying venture I would be so panicked so good so far
bottom table has the best reactions
I've missed Sam playing a Bard
It's the class he was born to be
Poor Madara thinks she completely ruined a party. She sounded like she was going to go home and cry herself to sleep
I've never understood the claims that Critical Role's main campaigns are "scripted." However, this seems far more scripted, to the point that while it's very enjoyable, it's basically a partly-improvised theater piece, not a D&D game. That said, Luis in tears at around the 47:00 mark demonstrates just how invested they all are in it.
This storyline is the best. I love everything within these episodes.
Does anyone know where I can buy Luis’ jacket?
I am so grateful for Sam Riegel. That dude is just soooo good. Everytime he does the "working with the ex" thing is just soooo damn good!
4:04:40 In the Chinese Zodiac myth, the cat notoriously missed being among the 12 because it slept in. Unlike in Judeo-Islamic/Christian mythology, being late to the table does not make the cat evil. "Whom did we betray?"
Laerryn: "the gods are not so special"
Gods: and we took that personally
“People who were given everything have never had to fight for what they have” says the woman who is a member of the ring of brass, grand daughter of the guy who lifted the city into the sky. Holds a massive party at her family mansion.
Kir: my sister is going to a party and she drank adult stuff!
me: … didnt they say she was SEVEN?!
Dear god, Brennan
Holy shit this episode went hard.
There was so much great stuff, but the conversation between Zerxus and, you know, fucking killed me. I love how it was portrayed and I hate myself for it, but the story just seems so plausible and makes sense that it's so hard to doubt it. Brennan really portrays the devil like I imagined it, and I certainly wouldn't be able to pull that off.
And I love how Zerxus handled it all. Maybe that's just my inner Oath of Redemption Paladin talking, but I really think what Zerxus did was the right thing to do, or at the very least understandable.
I expected to enjoy this mini campaign, but not to this extent. It just keeps on giving.
i appreciate the NADDPOD shirt @brennanLM
WE ARE WE ARE
I keep saying this but we need travis and abria to sit next to each other more often. thier humor is so in step with each other its amazing,
Can someone give me the link to that vespin lore vid?
