I believe that's because Sam literally has to dash across town from directing... DuckTales? in order to make the LDN studio for Critical Role. He's basically writing this poo poo in the back of an Uber. (Also, I just started watching the early-2000s TMNT show after binging a bunch of Turtles comics, and I can't not hear how hard Sam's working for his Donatello voice)

Bobbin Threadbare posted:Fjord's dream featured nothing but himself and his sword, and it ordered him to "consume." I think he did exactly what he was supposed to, especially since the end result was that his falchion consumed the longsword's enchantment. Yeah it seems pretty straightforward there, not many other ways to interpret that. Consuming enchantments is a crazy cool ability for any class or character who has a specific weapon of importance, I totally want to be able to do that if I ever play a Hexblade or really any martial focused class. Even if it's balanced out to only allow one enchantment to be dominant at a time and they don't stack, the flavor of it is so drat rad. It's by far my favorite bit of Matt homebrew class rules or features so far in Campaign 2, nothing else is even close.

Sam's bad ads are a continuation of Liams poor ads dor Wyrmwood and they work because they successfully sell the product they're tasked with.

It warmed my heart a little when Sam did an interview a year or so back and said that even after all this time, he's still proudest of having voiced Donatello in the 2K3 series. As someone who grew up on it, it was a nice moment.

There was a funny moment on an episode of Talks when Foster decided to use Sam's TMNT role as the 'best known for' intro, and I think Laura said she had a crush on Donnie as a kid. Sam was quite flattered and then it turns out she meant the 1987 version.

I just got the part in S1 where Percy gets to yell "your soul is now forfeit!" and if that's not one of his lines in Pillars of Eternity II, idk. He reminds me of Billy Lee Black from Xenogears. Even looks like him.

I honestly think it's better than Victor the black powder merchant from back in season 1. I honestly am curious what they would sound like when they get riled up and fighty, if they would still be sleepy and very polite while dropping you into a negative energy void.

You know, for as little as I liked Vax in the first season, I think Liam as Caleb is probably my favorite character in the second season. I'm starting on episode 10 now and I'm kind of piecing his history together by his behavior without him really talking too much about himself. My guess right now is a history of abuse in his past, judging by how he goes out of his way to make himself as dirty and unpleasant as possible and his PTSD that flared up when he burned up the notgnoll priest. Maybe it's a factor of coming in at the start of the campaign vs the first season where everyone is already more seasoned and worked through some of their past, but all the characters seem like deeply broken emotionally in a way that I can appreciate and believe for a band of murderhobos. Even Jester, who comes across as aggressively chipper and borderline chaotic stupid at almost all times has this quiet dispair that comes across in her solo and the scenes where she lets the mask drop.

I personally find Caleb's mistrust of the group kind of tedious at this point, but love him as Vax. It's more of the typical character he plays, and little character moments for him really solidify him as a fun Rogue. Just things like "i'm drinking a potion, and while doing so, nudge the door open with my foot and lean against the frame", and I just picture like Desperado or something. I do like Caleb, though. Maybe it's too early to expect growth, and he is definitely playing the long game.

It's definitely too early to expect much character growth from any of these characters. None of them besides Jester really trust each other yet and we're only getting backstory out of them (again, besides Jester) when Matt drags it out of them against their will with things like Molly running into someone who used to know him or Fjord having his spooky dreams.

No I get it, I mean more Caleb telling Nott over and over that they are leaving if they don't like these people, etc. Sam (and by proxy Nott) are already invested in the group, which may be out of character but way better for the dynamic. Most of the things that Caleb gets called out for are just him playing his moody, awkward wizard and I kind of love it. It often seems like Liam's earnest attempts are cut off by a joke. I'm rambling. I like this show.

I'm rambling. I think if Liam wasn't as charismatic as he was, Caleb and Vax would be seen as rather one-note stereotypes (the brooding Rogue heavily associated with corvids/the loner wizard). But somehow, he just about manages to make them both mostly likable characters.

The last fight's gonna be fun to see next week, I think they have it in the bag since they can attrition it down really well and bring back anyone who goes down fairly easily. The baddie's probably getting 3 rounds of attacks, so I expect some flavorful descriptions of stuff going down but they really should have it in the bag. That second round was tense stuff though, and Jester having Prayer of healing prepped was clutch because I was just thinking how it would be perfect for this situation and there it was. I'm quite pleased by her spell conservation too. Taliesin's arc of keeping Molly inexplicably out of melee combat continues, sadly. Seems like things might start popping off again in the next few sessions, should be fun!

So I finished episode 11 of the second season and I have to ask is there a bigger payoff down the line for Caleb's trip to the porn shop? I thought that was going to be part of some personal quest for him, but it seems like he just did it to gently caress with Matt. I do love that Matt had prepped a series of porn descriptions for the books between episodes. I would unironically want to read something called 'Tusk Love'.

Last night's ep spoiler I was glad to see he got a kill on one of the enemies after whiffing so badly when he does get into melee so often in season 2. If I was one of the players in front of him I would have held my action to see if he could get the kill since he hadn't done much in the fights so far and was visibly irritated. Everyone kept going for broke though, some with extra actions, and he ended up getting the kill anyway. Blood Hunter is an odd class, I think I need to read up on it.

Was a bit surprised by the Neverending Story callout (calling one of the wolves Gmork). Also, we finally figure out why Yasha doesn't say much or really engage with the group: turns out she's extremely shy!

Oh my god that clinic caper had me in stitches. It's just a comedy of failures at every turn. I changed my mind, Nott is now my favorite character instead of Caleb just for the scene where he hissed at the doctor and tried to bound past them, getting himself caught by orderlies.

Settling down to watch this week's in full, and I think Laura accidentally set the bar early on in this campaign with the accents. Hers was so strong that Liam and now Ashley have had to crank theirs up to match.
