I already loved Stephen Colbert. The fact that he's one of us — a Critter, a LotR fan, and a nerd in general — makes me love him all the more.
Eric the first was cut in half. He was….half a bee.
Ashley “i forgot I had light” Johnson
Holy shit Ashley xuroxed the anarchist cookbook…
I love her way more now
Justice for Eric I
please let Stephen be a forever cast member
um actually, thats Anduril flame of the west, reforged from the shards of Narsil
Would love to see Stephen again in a longer campaign and not just a one shot..
YOU FORGET THE SALT !!!! and use the salt on the rune….
I hope Stephen had a good time playing with his high school friends!
So she ties her hair in a bow, wields a bo, name is Beau, gets bonus actions. Got it.
I’m surprised Taliesin ain’t here playing Molly one last time
1:12:35 – the Wilhelm scream plays.
I wonder when the cancel culture will consume the CR team. It'll be a sad day. I love watching them play.
I was surprisingly amazed at how well Stephen role played and dealt with the situations. Just became a bigger fan of this guy <3
Did not expect a "Leroy Jenkins" quip from Stephen lol!
I just love the child-like wonder on Stephen's face when he plays.
Wow bring the MN back just to turn Yasha against the party again
what was the community chosen spell?
Love the look shared between Marisha and Sam when they mention The Calamity at 10:14 – they must have been deep in Calamity prep when they played this?
I bet if Colbert retires from late night (probably inevitable in the next 10 years since he intended to do so after Colbert Report) he'll probably use a lot of his new spare time for DnD.
This is just awesome.
I was already a fan of Colbert, for many reasons, but this just sealed the deal. 😈
love it, more stephen and mercer plz
"A well-known cookbook" – Ashley Johnson
I wish someone could make a cartoon skit for this story
Marisha had a total nerdgasm when she picked up Sting.
Well…
I see I still have a crush on Ashley.
I'm not surprised.
Mareesha
There was no possible more heartwarming conclusion than hearing that Stephen was going to play D&D with his old buddies, I'm so happy for him.
Matt’s cultist falling sound effect was so good lol
Dear Lord Ashley Johnson is so beautiful!!!!
What class is nott
I love how marisha and stephen will have the same look of love and admiration towards matt at the same parts.
lol do u serve a woman who doesnt have pastriest? :p
YELLS: 'I AM LUCKY JACK!
i serve the horns /druid … huge elk
Do we absolutely adore the reluctant axe? Yes, yes we do.
Has Colbert ever addressed or talked about this on Late Show? I feel Matt should be on the show…just once.
Colbert is so rad. It makes me very happy knowing that one of us has so much influence through his show! Awesome references to the Eternal Champion!
We need to find more ways for Colbert to do more d&d playing
Me, LOTR nerd: quietly vibrating at the swords
Me: wow how will they top this
Me at 4:08, shrieking out loud: THE BEE'S BACK
“One die eight” wow, that is so old-school!
No shit!!!
