boy, no way Orym takes up the sword that killed his family

#

...maybe Chetney

viscid harbor
#

Circle of Spores is also a fun idea

#

That I think Sam would run with

#

Just play a fun little guy who has spores in their blood.

robust zealot
#

I can't see him playing another cleric right now, but maybe if he wants to be a support character... Spirit bard? Celestial warlock? Stars druid... Some type of ranger...

viscid harbor
#

He's played a Warlock before in EXU, and he is known to stick with what he knows.

sage furnace
#

rogue maybe?

viscid harbor
#

So that could be a thing.

#

He played a rogue with Nott though

sage furnace
#

what about ... artificer?

viscid harbor
#

oooo

#

We haven't had one of those yet

robust zealot
#

I don't think we will see him play a class he's mained in a campaign before .

viscid harbor
#

Does EXU count as a campaign though, or a limited series?

#

BEcause he played a Warlock/Bard there.

#

And I think he'd be a great full Warlock,

#

Pact of the Chain maybe as opposed to Blade like Fjord.

#

or Tome, even.

#

Celestial Warlock, Pact of the Tome would be sick.

robust zealot
#

True . But that wasn't for a long period of time. I would love to see him play a celestial tome lock.

viscid harbor
#

(What if he plays a Warlock of the Changebringer just to break our hearts? I would cry so many tears)

robust zealot
#

Uhh

#

What's happening.

lunar sparrow
#

Why is everyone leaving?

robust zealot
#

Omg!!!

#

Aabria!!!

lunar sparrow
#

An exandria unlimited mini??

sage furnace
#

i love it

#

So what happened last session?

polar falcon
#

oooooh story split!!

lunar sparrow
sage furnace
#

im not always watching the live streams so its confusing

lunar sparrow
sage furnace
#

ah gotcha

robust zealot
#

Dang it, I was going to go to bed, but now that aabria is here, I'm not sure I can....

polar falcon
#

I've been waiting for them to catch up with the crown keepers but thought it would be a one-shot!!

lunar sparrow
#

They have her backpack and swords

robust zealot
#

Wonder if Sam is going to be on team aabria?

#

And who else is on this team... Please please please let Brennan be here tonight.

#

Oh wow, if he is, he's probably not rejoining the main crew anytime soon. We might be looking at another multi episode split group

polar falcon
#

i wonder if matt will get to be a player with dariax... or maybe theyre planning on merging the two groups and that will bring in Sam's new character?

robust zealot
#

If this is a moon team, we better see a celestial tome lock with the ASPECT OF THE MOON simply for flavor.

polar falcon
#

there are moon-based subclasses in the taldorei book too

robust zealot
#

Lunar sorcerer as well

#

Moon druid

polar falcon
#

wizard, sorc and.. cleric?

robust zealot
#

Crown keepers!!!!!!

lunar sparrow
#

Matt is playing? I don’t know how to process this

robust zealot
#

Lol

viscid harbor
#

Pretty sure Matt doesn't either lol

#

But his character is stunning

robust zealot
#

I love Matt playing dwarves.

#

Wait.. it's been a while. He's a dwarf right??

lunar sparrow
#

He does the accent really well

robust zealot
#

Level 13 sorcerer bard.

#

Fair.

#

Sheesh... 21 strength monk????

sage furnace
#

21?

#

how?

robust zealot
#

Gotta be a belt

#

One of the giant strength belts.

sage furnace
#

gotcha. that makes sense

robust zealot
#

Hill giant

#

Flat 21

#

So Morrighan is a 12 strength level 13 harengon paladin dedicated to the matron of ravens... Very interesting.

The Spider Queen really needs her champion in line for what's next

polar falcon

betrayer god champions are not getting asked nicely

paper dawn
#

Wait, Aabria is here? The Crown Keepers? What I miss?

polar falcon
#

2nd half of the episode it switched to them

#

things with opal are going.. Not Well

fair wind
#

It is interesting to me how many people are upset/bothered by switching to Exandria Unlimited characters. The Crown Keepers are where we first me Dorian, Orym, and Fearne. Go back and watch at least the first mini-series, Prime. It is truly a great adventure. Plus, watching Matt as a PC is worth it. Oh, also Aabria is a wonderful storyteller.

polar falcon
#

looks like from twitter it'll be a 2-episode interlude before getting back to the regular crew

#

ill admit EXU wasn't my favorite as it felt like a lot of short vignettes vs a coherent singular story like I'd expected, but the characters are fun and interesting so a short break is fine with me

worn violet
#

I think the story, specifically Opal's, also seems like it'll bleed into the main campaign, so I don't think it doesn't make sense to reintroduce the Crownkeepers

fair wind
#

Considering their individual connections to gods (Spider Queen, Wild Mother, Raven Queen), it absolutely will tie into the main campaign to stop THE GOD EATER.

swift dune
# fair wind It is interesting to me how many people are upset/bothered by switching to Exand...

I think the bother comes from the change coming IMMEDIATELY after the death of FCG. Previously the death of a PC would usually lead to 1-2 episodes of the remaining party figuring out what the hell to do now. Instead, there is zero follow-up and viewers are hurled into the middle of an already ongoing conversation that has nothing to do with the previous "build up" of the last dozens of episodes.

#

And the 25-minute conversations taking place in 6 seconds of combat rounds were unbearable IMO

crude sonnet
#

Ngl, I find all the people complaining about it unbearable. Like, get over it and just watch the show, don’t got to be so dramatic.

#

Some people don’t click with aabria’s style of DMing she tends to like alot of talking during combat and lots of narrative moments

worn violet
#

I can also understand to a degree the frustration of having such a huge shift in the plot immediatelt after such a heavy moment in Bell's Hells's story

#

I'm not saying people should go out of their way to ruin everybody else's fun or anything, but it's easy enough to just go, "Well, this isn't for me. I'll be back when BH is back."

tranquil sparrow
#

Probably because the shift was planned well in advance.

worn violet
#

I think she's implying that the people who don't like the shift to the Crownkeepers are people who don't know how to have fun. Which I personally find to be a bit of an unfair reductive point-of-view.

tranquil sparrow
#

FCG dying was not planned, so the massive shift is exactly that, because it wasnt planned, so was a little jarring for some.

polar falcon
#

It's a little weird pacing wise, and while I don't mind it personally, I could see why it would feel too disruptive

tranquil sparrow

I just think people like to complain, and the most vocal are normally the most negative in most fan spaces.

I loved Aabria in calamity, wasn’t a huge fan of Deanna but liked the chemistry. I absolutely can’t stand her as a dm. She is very much a “it’s all about me” dm. She HAS to inject her thoughts into everything. No moment is just allowed to be had. There has to be some lul randomz comment in there too. Also, this last round of her dming really felt like someone trying to mimic Brennan. I still think she’s kick ass and I love her in the other dropout stuff I’ve seen her in.

#

And fair admission - she still runs circles around the average DM (definitely me) I’m just comparing her to the others at a professional level.

Yay, we got Robbie back with the Hells

polar falcon
#

aabria came for blood for sure, and I know a lot of rules were RoC'd away and folks were mad about it, but at the end of the day the story told in that fight was very good

I loved the image of Mori leading Cyrus's soul to the afterlife 😭

#

Hey, has anybody figured out what makes FCG tick? Is it like an arcane battery that absorbs and releases charges in the form of damage? I know Matt designed a homebrew cleric domain for Sam, but I believe it has to do with FCGs sub race

ruby quiver
#

Appeared to be a modified warforged but not much past that and doesn't seem to follow a lot of the concepts of it

We know that aeormaton are the exandrian warforged equivalent, but not too much about them in general. Especially not fcg who seemed a lot more customized in various ways

hasty mortar
#

Hmm. Hopefully Crit Role release their homebrew classes and races at the end of C3. Gunslinger and bloodhunter are awesome, but I’d love to see how other stuff like FCGs “overkill” works

manic trout
#

Looking at it from hindsight, Fjord proposing to Jester had to be one of my favorite moments simply because how hard it is to catch Laura and Sam off-guard.

worn violet
# hasty mortar Hmm. Hopefully Crit Role release their homebrew classes and races at the end of ...

They have released homebrew in their third-party books, but considering they’re working on their own Daggerheart system, I’d be hard pressed to believe they’re gonna be working on publishing any 5E system any time too soon. Which is not to say they won’t in the future, just that I don’t think there are any immediate plans to do anything other than their own systems’ stuff at the moment.

hasty mortar
worn violet
#

I don’t know that they’ll ever fully break off from 5E for the purpose of their stream, but I’m sure they’ll be pushing their own systems (both Candela Obscura, which is already published and often streamed, and Daggerheart, once it’s fully published).

manic trout
#

I have either a brilliantly terrible or terribly brilliant idea.

#

When it comes Chetney especially.

#

It might give him a heart attack, but let's have him meet his kids, if he has any.

knotty hill
#

What do you mean by "Overkill"?

#

Like, are you talking about FCG's stress system? Because I think that one is entirely on Sam's end here because he wanted to have that gimmick.

I cannot recommend dimension20’s fantasy high jr year enough. The last fight had something like 10 different casters on the field with counter spell, an effectively two story battlefield, npcs with stakes to protect, and multiple combat objectives. And an incredible battlemap with wires and LED

#

Everyone was on top of their abiltiies, spells, and checks, basically the kind of dnd play CR forgotten

I’m almost positive we will

We got some fun original songs in the first two seasons, it would be a damn shame if they just decided to stop on S3

#

I’m just mostly curious to see whether Mercer is voicing the Whispered One or if they cast someone else to do it

its not easy to replace someone like Lance Reddick (RIP)

I’m curious as to whether or not he had already recorded his lines, but agreed. Not an easy guy to replace.

The show isn't the game

#

The mechanics and abilities of everything are all different

Some for copyright. Most because it's no longer a game in the show, but a story

I really like how Critical Role is doing Abridged episodes.

Cr is on break for the last week of the month and then next week is a us holiday so no episode then either 😭

lunar sparrow
#

next 3 thursdays are doing DOWNFALL which is another EXU mini-campaign

#

and i know im mostly alone on this but im not an Aabria fan

polar falcon
#

I don't think Downfall is EXU technically? Though it seems to share similarities to Calamity. And I love Aabria but she is not in it, its DMed by BLeeM with players Ashley, Taliesin, Laura, Noshir Dalal (from the mortal kombat one-shot and a Candela), Nick Mariani (an actor new to CR I believe), and Abubakar Salim (also an actor, I think he has only hosted a 4sD for CR?)

worn violet
#

Yeah, Downfall isn’t officially being called ExU. It’s more like they’re watching a flashback within C3.

#

That said, I can understand the confusion. Especially considering it almost feels like a spiritual successor to Calamity, which was also DM’d by Brennan.

sage furnace
#

Whats Downfall?

Whats ExU?

EXU - exandria unlimited is a few small adventures run by different DMs aabriya and Brennan

So i origially started with CR3 and then after ab 30 ep started over at CR1. Im now on CR2 ep 65.

my question is: do i need to watch all 144 ep to understand everything that will happen in CR3?

low socket
#

There are a few call backs to things that have happened in previous campaigns but Matt is quite good at reminding the players of this stuff if their character would know it

#

Don’t forget that this new party doesn’t have meta knowledge of things that have happened before

ruby quiver
#

However, far more than C2 has, C3 has a lot more callbacks to both previous campaigns so it's got a lot more spoilers for them

frosty canopy
#

C3 uses the events of c1 and c2 as foundation

knotty hill
#

Ah.. so that's why Sam had left the show for a hot minute. Damn

#

||Cancer|| is just beyond rough, but glad he's recovering well.

slow ice
#

That was a rough video to watch, but I'm glad that he is okay sharing his story. Makes total sense that he took time away.

sonic dawn
#

Let’s be honest, Critical role would never be the same without Sam, he’s such a integral part of the cast, he’s a true pillar to CR’s success

twilit grail
#

Just saw that vid myself and goddamn does it hit close to home im glad he's okay

tall bison
#

I just saw the announcement. Haven't watched the video, but damn. Glad he's doing better now

#

I haven't even got to the episode where Sam stopped appearing, so my assumption based on knowing he was absent was just that FCG died

last flicker
#

In hindsight it make a lot of sense why critical role did a unlimited so soon after Fresh cut grass’s death they where probably trying to help give Sam a bit more of extra time with his treatment in privacy

So, ASHA is a diurD lol

I’d be afraid of Laura… she’s always been really goody goody… her being evil is kinda terrifying

I have a feeling that that earth genyasi has something to do with Ashton’s backstory

Oh this is gonna be fun

I'm trying to pin down who all is who. Only one I'm reasonably sure of is Laura is the Raven Queen

#

I'm assuming Arcadia is Ioun.

paper dawn
#

Milo is for sure Asmodeus

#

The Emissary I think is here on behalf of the Wildmother

#

I thought Ayden was the Dawnfather but his interaction with Milo makes me less sure

#

The halfling could be the spider queen?

lunar sparrow

Taliesen might be Correlon

I don’t think asmodeus is among them … he was already here … his herald was already among them

knotty hill

ASHA: Nature
SILAHA: Beauty
Trist: Mercy
The Emissary: Law
Ayden: Dawn
Emhira: Death

paper dawn
#

Stormlord ain’t here

knotty hill
#

So I think that Asha is Melora, Silaha is Corellon, Trist is Raei, The Emissary was supposed to be Erathis, Ayden is Pelor, and Emhira is the Raven Queen

paper dawn
#

I don’t think Raei is here based on Milo’s joke. Plus, her name being Tryst, I think she’s the Moonweaver

#

The Emissary seems more in line with the Wildmother, but she and Erathis are quite close

knotty hill
#

They are in a relationship after all.

#

Does Sehanine have any Mercy connotations.

#

Umletta for sure spider queen

knotty hill

Tortle is Torog, yep

The turtle is torog

#

Oop I’m wrong

Aydens player just confirmed it

#

I love that Ashley is her own first character’s god

knotty hill
#

I like that moment there where Laura asks about the pre-history of the Gods... because she wasn't there.

#

Ok, so I'm guessing that they're both the Gods, but not only the gods. Like Arcadia said earlier, it took a while for the brains to catch up.

I know this is backstory but man this episode is so slow. Overacting just a SMIDGE

I love finally getting to see the gods for who they are now, and not who they portray themselves as to the mortals they want to follow them

knotty hill
#

Ayden/Pelor is the most notable one IMO.

lunar sparrow

They could retconn it. He had captured several cities during the early calamity

knotty hill

Because The Dawn Father ain't exactly the most chill of the primes.

Also, anybody else getting this vibe that during the Calamity there’s a race of wolves that can turn into humanoids? Like a counter-werewolf?

Galdric is just a regular wolf, who was the partner to the champion of the Matron.

Matt brings back Allura for himself. He brings back Essek for his players and the fans

Are you guys sure they’re all primes and not Betrayers too?

Right. So not just a wolf

knotty hill

#

I think anybody who is a Betrayer is an NPC

knotty hill
#

All of Brennan’s NPC people were betrayers in that last conversation. All the domains listed out for the PCs relate to the Primes.

#

ASHA: Nature
SILAHA: Beauty
Trist: Mercy
The Emissary: Law
Ayden: Dawn
Emhira: Death

worn violet
#

Speaking of, Asmodeus being a priest of the Dawnfather somehow feels so deliciously despicable

#

Disguising himself as a man devoted to the Prime he hates the most

#

I would’ve liked to have seen some of the gods that aren’t mentioned much. Like Sehanine

#

Nice to see Corellon and Erathis (or at least her Emissary) to make their way into the ring tho

knotty hill
#

My understanding is that they are not exactly the gods, since the gods went and incarnated in these bodies and had to live as these people here. If folks have played recent Assassin's Creeds here I'm feeling like they're how sages work in that story. Completely unique individuals who have the alternate identity of the gods running around the background in their heads.

They’re talking super openly about who their PCs are in the cooldown

Taliesin (regarding Asha seeing the Emissary): “I’m pissed!”
Brennan: “Listen. If I was expecting to see my wife somewhere and a giant made of ice and stone was there instead, I’d be pissed.”

Yea, ASHA is demonstrating how Melora is red in tooth and claw.

In Cooldown, Brennan calls them all Avatars here

Which is why their stats look so strong for seemingly “commoner” looking people

#

Going into how while ASHA and SILAHA are in 100% lockstep with who their divine selves are.... Tryst and Ayden kinda don't.

#

Raei and Pelor got really into RPing as people lol

#

Method acting to the divine level

#

Also funny how the Raven Queen has gone full circle here. Humans > God > Human

worn violet
#

They make a note about how sad it was that the first of the… “Tengarians?”… to step up to save their home instead of running away are the ones who are called the Betrayers

knotty hill
#

The primes just froze in that moment

#

Ok, so in the opening, Laura was playing the original god of death.

#

And they bring up how hilarious it is that Ayden and Tryst are so paternal towards the mortals that they can’t even think of killing them, meanwhile Emhira spits back that she’s literally murdered one of them before.

#

Give Aeor half a shot and there’ll be no gods above

#

Am I the only 1 who thinks that SILAHA is Moradin\the all hammer?

hollow swallow
#

Yeah Tengar seems to be some pre big bang planar state

#

That was the birth of the universe

#

The only person who ties in to a consistent reason that the gods would do this is Tal’s character

#

The act of destroying a god seems to be like breaking gravity or the strong nuclear force

#

You just unmake reality or critically destabilize it if you do so

#

But, also, they caused this? The betrayers caused the calamity and now they’re buttmad that humans are like “to heck with this?”

#

This is a kobiyashi maru scenario that humanity can’t win

The translation of the binary codes on each character's card

sage furnace
#

ah ok

knotty hill
#

Basically our first clue as to which god each character is playing.

hollow swallow
#

The creepy halfling is Lolth. The jacked up intentionally crippled tortle throwing up fishhooks is Tharzidun. The barbarian woman is Gruumsh

worn violet
#

I know he's got the whole chain motif going on and Tharizdun is the Chained Oblivion, but Torog is the god of torture and enslavement, which was more of the vibe I got off of Zaharzht

#

Especially considering Tharizdun is a madness that even the Betrayer Gods won't cooperate with.

#

My personal theory is that Tharizdun is actually Edun, the elderly sounding Light from Tengar and the first to be turned to "nothingness" by Predathos, and that the name Tharizdun is actually translated from the Lights' language saying something along the lines of "That What Was Edun".

#

Not related to the PCs or gods: When Brennan first mentioned the name of Hawk's Hill, did anyone else immediately wonder if it's named after Travis's character from EXU: Calamity??

#

Also worth remembering Cerrit was a ranger, which I think Brennan mentioned was the most prevalent job at this time and place due to the nature of surviving in an ongoing apocalyptic event.

#

I finally reached the fight against Ottohan and FCG's death.

Holy SHIT. That was climactic as hell. I don't think I've ever seen Matt cry like that before.

ruby quiver
#

Or yknow. It's just RoC

tall bison
#

Based on what? How do they know how much HP she had to begin with?

#

Ah

#

Yes, absolutely, that was mandatory

#

My perspective is they play the game for themselves first and the audience second. That it's both a game and a story and Matt as the DM does have the freedom to tweak aspects behind the scenes as he sees fit, so long as it's not manipulative/malicious/obvious/etc. If Ottohan truly did have merely 20HP left out of 600, I honestly don't feel like letting him have that kill is that offensive

That said, my one concern was I did think she would at some point try to grab the backpack back, though my guess is she knew it would take time for her to reattune to it and so it wasn't a priority

#

It's a SICK weapon name

#

Could also be a factor, but I still stand by what I said

#

Also, I'm now on the next episode and it's so weird seeing Matt as a player. I know he's done it before, but I've never actually seen it

#

Oh, really?

#

What does she do?

#

Ah

#

Is this a common occurance or this batch of sessions specifically?

#

Emily...

#

The girl who played Prism?

#

And Aimee was Deni$e, right? And now Opal?

#

I noticed, so many comments were talking about how she just shows up and wrecks house in her first episode as a guest. Didn't know she or Aimee DMed, though?

#

I dunno why. I thought it was fine

#

Gotcha

#

But yeah, I didn't know either of them were DMs

#

Oh, you just said you would swap Aabria for Emily or Aimee, I assumed that meant as a DM

#

I would be so curious how Emily would DM based on her performance as a player

#

I've seen a LITTLE bit. I never watched past episode 2 of Candela Obscura, but I did take a brief glimpse at most of the first episodes to see how they started. And Liam literally started by having them roll for something saying "That's right, none of you have said a word yet and I am coming for you"

#

And I saw a clip of him DMing a Critmas one-shot, but it was mostly focusing on Travis cutting Santa to shit

#

Also, I don't watch D20. It looks interesting, I heard Brennan is an amazing DM as well. And I know Matt DMed a sort of prequel campaign for him at one point

#

Yeah, I knew ahead of time that they were gonna swap the cast a bit because apparently it was meant to be a surprise EXU batch of episodes and I assumed Brennan would be the DM

#

And Aabria would once again be playing Deanna, since I saw her in the thumbnail. I also assumed Aimee would still be playing Deni$e. Do you know what happened to her? I assume she died, but how?

#

Oh, ok. Thought it would make sense that they reunited since that was her goal, to get back to Dariax

#

Oh, really? How so?

#

Is THAT what that's meant to be??

#

I know it had something to do with some candy-esc world, but that was it

#

I've also never seen Game of Thrones, but the idea of that style of world made of candy does sound whimsically disturbing

#

Like medieval Willy Wonka

#

Worlds beyond number?

#

Oh, ok

#

What do you think of Aabria when she's a player as opposed to a DM? Because as a player, I thought she was fine on CR

#

Oh. Ok

#

The only part I remember finding slightly annoying was when she killed one of the goats for no reason

#

I insert various characters into this world as I watch, wondering how they would interact with the story and players, but there's one in particular who I tend to use and I remember when that part came up, I literally imagined my character being so pissed off that he took the remaining goats back up to Uthadurn and ditched the group mid-mission

#

Partly because it would've been piled on top of the lingering stress from the failed mission at the Malius Key, losing half their party, and FRIDA stating an initial indifference to Ludinus' schemes due to his own indifference toward the gods

#

I'm still not sure I understand as much about Aeor as I should

#

Like all I really know about Aeor is that both FRIDA and FCG were from there, Ludinus gets a lot of tech from there, is probably there now (as of episode 92) and FRIDA was defending a Malius Key-esc device before his memories were wiped

#

I'm sure they've said more up to this point, I just don't remember a lot of it

#

Gotcha

#

Also, I saw a clip involving Sam's new character that has me concerned

#

I have no clue what the context is, but part of me isn't sure I want to know

#

It was Sam's character flirting with Imogen and Imogen not shutting it down, causing Taliesin to go slackjawed and Marisha to leave the table

tall bison
#

I'm relatively new to CR, them being at episode 30 in campaign 3 when I started and this being their first campaign I saw. Still the only one I'm remotely caught up in. So I never see why other people dislike it so much. I like the characters and the world a ton.

As for the shipping, in a D&D game, I would find it a problem if it was the audience shipping the characters. But them shipping themselves and establishing relationships between themselves, I have no problem with as long as everyone at the table is ok with it

#

I've heard campaign 2 was their peak and I've started it, but it's such a huge undertaking to start a whole new campaign

#

They seem pretty engaged to me

#

Am I? I feel like it's possible I still won't be able to tell a difference

#

Like I said, I did start campaign 2. I think I'm about 10ish episodes in? It seems similar so far

#

Does Vox Machina the show start at episode 27 of the campaign?

#

More than likely with Daggerheart if it's in the public release phase

#

But yeah, I really like campaign 3. I love Matt's storytelling, I love how much fun the players have at the table, I love the set and budget, I love the characters and the callbacks to previous campaigns even if I don't understand them

#

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe they'll add more to it over time

#

Never liked Star Wars

#

But I get it

#

Haven't seen Matrix 4, but I did see a review of it, so I think I get it

I also haven't seen 2 or 3

low socket
#

You don’t need to watch c1 and 2 to enjoy 3, and 3 is great it’s just a different group dynamic that some people don’t gel with

#

For me it’s not because they are playing from a perspective that they don’t know what happened in the previous campaigns only 1 character has some knowledge of it and that’s orym

Question

#

Aside from your thoughts on Aabria herself, is the story in this batch of episodes worth watching? Or would it be ideal to just skip to when Matt returns and Dorian rejoins Bell's Hells?

#

I think right now my main problem is just that I know nothing about these new characters aside from Dorian and one of them's having a huge story moment encounter that I want to be invested in, but I just don't know what's going on while everyone else at the table does

low socket
#

You can skip it not a lot really happens and it’s a lot of really detailed narrated combat rp

#

The players can know but the characters don’t know, I’ve watched a few episodes of c1, c2 I’ve watched twice and all of the side stories and can enjoy c3 without knowing about the c1 NPCs

tall bison
#

Gotcha

#

I don't know what that means

#

But yeah, I just skipped to episode 93, toward the end when Matt and Robbie are alone. Missed Cyrus' death

#

I think I would be more invested if I actually followed EXU

#

Like I never even saw the story Fearne, Orym, and Dorian had before they arrived at Jrusar

#

So Calamity, then Downfall?

#

Noted

#

Thanks

polar falcon
#

I'd actually say overall BH might be the least shippy when it comes to canon PC romance. C1 had all the female characters in love with Percy and ended with 3 canon romances, and c2 had everyone in love with Jester and ended with 2 canon romances (4 if you include PC/NPC), but c3 and BH doesn't really have a central 'everyone is in love with X' character (maybe kinda fearne?) and it looks like maybe only one canon PC romance? It hasn't ended yet though so maybe they'll end up or epilogue with more

#

not to say thats a good or bad thing, I enjoy when the vibes are different in the different parties

pure ginkgo
#

I personally LOVE Aabria as a player & candela GM but dislike her as a D&D DM

#

And I personally believe that someone new to CR should hear out a variety of perspectives... and mine is that bells hells is a really good campaign while campaign 2 was the 1 that felt like they lost interest on the format, but all of them have their charms of course

#

And CR is only as scripted as any entertainment company scheduling forces their media to be "scripted" in so that FCG, as admitted by Matt, would've shut down as Sam had to take his leave if they didn't die... which if you're one of those tables who doesn't approach D&D party "misscheduling" as ignoring the player character for the session(s) their player is going to be missing by finding some kind of explanation

ruby quiver
#

Yea.... basically everything that people use as "proof" that CR is scripted are just... things I've had/seen happen in home games before

#

The main thing is "players knowing stuff about what's going to happen to their characters beforehand" which is literally just. The DM and player talking out of game and planning where they want the character to go?

#

So that people can get what they want out of it

low socket
#

Matt is a very good planner and lets his players explore the world and their backstories if needs be. This comes from playing with the same group of people for 10+ years live and who knows how many before that in their home game

ruby quiver
#

Literally the most normal thing to happen in a ttrpg

#

And I don't know how you think I'm saying its kayfabed when I'm saying the opposite

#

Again, most normal thing to happen in a game

#

Average DM behavior

#

Ok?

#

It's still incredibly common

#

Especially in dnd

#

Can you rephrase that

#

We already know it's pre recorded. Has been for a long time

#

That's why I asked you to rephrase it

#

Because your statement didn't make sense

#

This statement did not make sense. Hence why I asked you to rephrase it so that I could understand what you were attempting to say

#

I think it's almost entirely irrelevant to the people who enjoy the show

#

I think the majority of people who would care are people who already think the show is scripted and dislike it because of that

#

But that's literally an entirely separate discussion

#

Nor one I particularly care to have with you

#

No, I started a different discussion based off a comment from a different person. The question you asked me is the start of a completely different one. One that I don't have any interest in having with you. I'm dipping from this discussion now

low socket
#

Matt has a plan and the players trust him to bring them on a great story and journey. It’s not scripted but has story beats he wants to follow

#

Cr 2 had a totally different direction it should have gone in and the BBEG was planned something different to what we got.

eternal copper
#

Even if it is scripted the story is still wonderful and I kind think it’s more like wrestling if anything they plan who is going to win the match but sometimes something goes sideways and changes it … matt has an idea of what he wants to happen but sometimes the roll of the die change it up a bit … it is a DM’s job for the party to have fun so that’s all he is doing is making sure his party is having fun … we just enjoy watching it

sage furnace
#

TPK is total party kill?

low socket
#

It’s not scripted it has planned story beats and the players for all their faults do a good ish job at keeping their players alive, yes Matt pulls his punches sometimes but he’s said many times he could of killed half the party if not for bad rolls

inland zealot
#

They do a good job keeping themselves alive barring a few C1 instances lol, and that's not a bad thing at all. I do wish things felt more risky, but in fairness, c3 hasn't been my thing since episode 40-ish, so that may just be bias on my end.

worn violet
#

Most DMs I know will do as much as they can to help their party succeed. Sometimes the dice wanna tell their own story though.

worn violet
#

Except you forget that it’s often not just the important rolls that can make or break an encounter

#

Hey, to each their own

low socket
#

But the players say what they rolled? Do you want a camera on the dice as well?

worn violet
#

I think if the cast thinks we’re not privy to that information then we just have to respect it. Not our business how they run their table.

tall bison
#

They kinda already are, at least to the other surrounding players. The people sitting next to the roller can usually see what's being rolled. There's no real way to make all rolls from all players visible to the audience without a very clunky and intrusive recording setup or being so far away that either a lot more editing is required or you still can't really see what's being rolled due to distance. If it was just for the DM, maybe that could work, but for everyone at the table, it would become a mess real quick. Unless everyone switched over to digital dice, which honestly, is just much less satisfying than physical

They talked about it on the first cooldown, this is somewhat the case. In some of the Avatars, it’s the case where the Avatar is part of the god, such as Asha and Silaha. For Trist and Ayden, it’s more like Raei and Pelor are parts of them.

How much weirder can it get?

Again?

#

Exactly how could that relationship get “weirder”?

worn violet
#

Oh sweet, apparently Travis Willingham teased an animated Calamity miniseries

knotty hill
#

Laudna could've ended up holding a grudge against her, both for how she was killed to threaten Vox Machina, as well as how by taking down the Briarwoods, Laudna didn't get the magical training she was hoping for from Delilah.

Plus there's the matter of how much the De Rolo's might genuinely want her quite dead, since she's propping up Delilah in her head.

Only "negative" thing I've seen is people saying it was railroaded/pre written. But it was also coming from people who think that CR in general is pre written so... yea.

#

Also likely coming from people who don’t understand that mini-arcs do kinda call for a bit of railroading, mixed with a whole lot of player buy-in.

#

Like if you only have 4 sessions, you kinda wanna minimize wandering off on side quests and try to keep focus on the mission

copper minnow
#

i mean its prequel, brennan had multiple ways in which the Calamity could be triggered set up and the players really couldnt stop it. it was always about the journey, not the destination and everyone understood that. I guess thats could be seen as railroading but I dont see it that way personally

worn violet

Me neither. Or rather, it’s a little railroading, but I don’t think that’s an inherently bad thing.

It’s a good explanation of what he does

Railroading is really only bad when paired with the removal or refusal to acknowledge player agency

More like dangling the carrot

There's a subtle line between railroading and a storyline that is compelling/ urgent enough that it demands attention. "Railroading" IMO is mostly only an issue when, as @worn violet said, player urgency is forcibly removed.

I believe the mighty nein have fought an echo knight in sewers of Zadash in episode 9? but if you're talking about a major character being an echo knight then technincally no otohan is a psi warrior

I wonder if the memory of the infinite hungry emptiness of Praedathos is enough of a fragment to satisfy Orym’s pact with Nanna Mori

Chet's. Orym is bound for service to Nanna. Which he agreed to because he doesn't feel like he's surviving this

Blast from the past but i just finished the Pit Fiend fight in Campaign 1 Episode 76 in the Plane of Fire. I didn't count the HP on the Pit Fiend but did Matt make it easier on them given how the fight was going ? Or was i just thrown off because He didn't give us any of the usual "X is starting to look rough" for the Pit Fiend ? It was just dead all of a sudden.

Yeah it was not easy going as it progressed but the very end felt like it came out of the blue so i wondered whether Matt reduced the remaining HP behind the scenes to spare them.

Before it was a stream it was a home game, so they had done stuff before that they reference

if you need a quick summary of the pre-game stuff i can do so for you

#

just ping me

#

actually, this one paragraph summary from the wiki probably gives you all you need:

#

The team met in the swamp town of Stilben as a ragtag group of mercenaries in search of work. After doing a few odd jobs they traveled to the city of Emon, where they managed to halt a demonic insurrection within the throne, and gained a reputation as heroes and had a keep built in their honor.

As above Legend of Vox Machina is great and shows a bit of pre stream and it’s a good introduction into Exandria. But if you want on stream stuff then I can recommend Exandria Unlimited, EXU:Calamity and EXU:Kymal is really good!

#

But if you want the OG cast then Search for Grog or Search for Bob are kind of stand alone one shots.

I said it last time, if they enter initiative they’ve failed

There are times when I wish I was a guest player in C3, so that I could after they pull Zathuda out of danger to slit his throat and the emissary’s throat then when the rest of them are like “omg why’d you do that” to just confront them with in character aggression and be like “No more half measures! I choose the Gods, because the only other choice is Praedathos!”

#

Then they’d make noncommittal noises about the eidolons and whatever and my character would be like “It doesn’t matter! There is no middle ground here that you can stand on! The Gods being imperfect doesn’t mean that they deserve to be killed, and any action that isn’t directed towards preventing that is abetting it.”

#

“If you do not support saving the Gods with your whole chest, you are my enemy.”

Don’t even have a Jester here to force them onto a path there

Please dice. Kill him!

GOD HAS ENTERED THE ROOM

knotty hill
#

Yea, I'm not sure I trust Archheart here, because even presuming that Predathos could be tamed, that wouldn't make the gods run. Because it's been tamed.

#

Why would the Gods have to leave if they're entirely safe. If their predator now lives on leash.

#

Not to mention, how could they leave? Their ship was destroyed.

# buoyant meadow Without any spoilers, I’m not even reading a single message before me, is Critic...

I am absolutely a Campaign 1 stan.

People rag on it in hindsight, but in its moment, it was revolutionary. I got shown Ep. 69 after it went on YouTube in November (yes, that's why I remember it) and wanted to know what happened to get them to that point so bad, I binge listened during my overnight job and was caught up before Christmas.

As long as you're aware that obviously problematic player does find their way off the show, they become merely a tolerable wart of the first 26 episodes. It's sad because, when he's together, he's an asset. The unglued points makes everyone a little off, but the vibes come back.

And you can fast forward past the points that are obvious old-school Twitch stream vibes.

Enjoy your watch (I hope)!

So like, is critical role ran by WoTC or something? I’ve never watched it but it seems like it’s an “official” dnd campaign ran by the dnd people themselves or something

copper minnow

its just bunch of voice actors streaming their dnd campaigns

their success lead to some colaborations, like DDB sponsorships and I think a D&D designer had a guest spot once or twice. And of course they got one of their books published by wotc, but their game and company remain independant

I don't think it would've been them being petty tbh

More like an homage in an attempt to not write off the existence entirely? Kinda like how they played it in the actual campaign

Moreso just meant in the vein of homage

making ||the only draconian we interact with a tiberius stand in, and then have them betray the party because of spurned love|| would qualify as petty to me
