Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
I’m listening to this while playing the game. I love this so much
Brennan shivering then clapping at Krystina verifying whether the monster sounded like Tim Curry is funnier when you know that College Humor hired Brennan based entirely on his Frank N Furter impressions.
Probably not but are there any game spoilers in this?
Would love to know the features you used for this one shot to put this together?
Is that a 1/4 of the noise boys I spot?
I nearly screamed when I saw Brennan Lee Mulligan!! I was so happy to see him here on critrole, especially after Escape The Bloodkeep.
2 of my favorite things combined into one? i am SUPER DOWN.
"You…were born to parents!"
Cold reading, or TRUE POWER?!
1:29 "And you never know what came before."
Not my favorite One-Shot nor my favorite FromSoftware game..
but still pretty epic & funny (dumb lol) & cool to see Alex
I am stoked to see Brennan Lee Mulligan at the table
This one shot has to be my ABSOLUTE favorite. Every 10 minutes or so I'm laughing so hard because of their conversations and shenanigans. The part with the perspective thing and the banana and the horse stacking … LOST IT 🤣. And how Everyone was praising the prophetess and Alex is the odd one out. And I was listening to this at work. So I had funny looks as I'm laughing so hard that I couldn't breath. Please make Brennan and the others come on as a guest stars again. I would love to see Brennan be a guest in campaign 3.
Way too much pure fun to be a Soulborne game. Awesome.
30 minutes in and I'm seriously hoping patches makes an appearance just to screw with the party 😂
Good to know a lot of the cast also loves Fromsoft games.
me, seeing Brennan invited to a one-shot based on something as deadly serious as Elden Ring: oh no
they are using a homebrew system or its a official system?
yayyy they got lanky sass….quatch idunnowhatever, I love that guy!
Marisha just keeps shifting between Beau and Laudna with her character 😂
WHAT A FREAKING CAST WOW
ALEX <3 YOURE FREAKING AMAZING
Listening to this while playing elden ring at 4:20. what a great way to spend my vacation time
brasil Brasil Brasil Brasil Brasil
I've loved every moment of Elden Ring. I love Matt and Critical Role. This literally brought me to tears. Ya that's right. I cried.
I follow live from ep 58 of campaign 1. I think this system, or a variation of it, cuold be the future.
Alex AND Brenan!!! Ahhhh!!! IS THIS CHRISTMAS?
Yes, I think it is. <3
Gotta love a Brennan Lee Mulligan, pro bono rules lawyer moment. I swear he looked right into the camera as a way to long distance nod to Aabria
Brennan is my role model for life.
BRENNAN
Thanks!~
Horse Stack lives forever
Obby the Rat plays Elden Ring. Nice
Love that is a thing. 30h played at Elden Ring already and I am not even close to finishing it. I will be able to rest from my game play watching this one! :p
can someone help me find the ferngully moment?
DYING of laughter!!! 🤣 So many great moments between the players. I hope we get more one shots like this.
51:35
"Amazing mane, beautiful vocal chord"
When I saw the video title tears of joy just came pouring out of my eyes.
This is fucking wonderfulllll!!!!
Honestly just so excited to finally see Brennan on CR!
I would love for this to become a full arc. It would be so awesome.
OMAIGOD ITS BRENNAN.
is Brennan you get my like
Alex?! Woo!
Don't mind me, just getting in the comments. 🙃
Very fun time, though, forreals. Yall need to try and get these three for guests again sometime (especially Brennan, but clearly I'm biased).
The "I've watched your show for YEARS and now I get a "How You Want to Do This?" " made me sob 🌟
I loved every part of this especially the home brew and all the players. Bring all the guests back! Tremendous fun and I bought the game
They so have to add horse stacking to the game now 😀

Hell Yeah! So excited to see Brennan on Critical Role 😆
It's just Markus and a female coven. What a dream team.
