They start out as regular magic gear, then go Awakened (this happened with the star razor when they reforged it) and can then go further from there, but we don't really know what that entails outside of Campaign 1 stuff so far.

I cannot imagine Ashley or Travis having a good time playing Bards. Ashley seems too reserved to be comfortable doing it, and while I've no idea if Travis can sing, he seems like a guy who appreciates it but can't actually do it and doesn't really want to personally. I don't get the impression Marisha would care too much for it either. Taliesin would probably enjoy it along with Liam and Laura though, I imagine.

Travis will do Slam Poetry and Ashley will do Perform (smoldering stares)

The campaign source book has a ton of fully statted out vestiges but we haven't seen any of these in C1 or C2 yet. Except potentially Beua's night vision googles but nothing more came of that except the night vision stuff. Also, the good guys aren't necessarily the only ones with vestiges.

Yeah I think you’re thinking too narrowly of bard in the Scanlan sense. I’m pretty confident any of them could play a bard of some flavor and both enjoy doing so and kill it in game.

They are a bunch of nerdy-rear end voice actors, after all. I'd be more worried about how some of them handle the spellcasting mechanics than how they'd come up with bard concepts.

Yeah, this isn’t like purchasing LucasArts and therefore the rights to future Star Wars movies and the infinite money printing machine therein. The “brand’s” value isn’t Critical Role, its value is These Particular Amazing Lunatics Playing Dungeons and Dragons. If Disney buys out Critical Role, they’d have to keep the cast if they wanted any return on that investment, and these guys aren’t going to accept a contract that involves forcing them to do a whole bunch of corporate money grabbing bullshit they wouldn’t otherwise be willing to do. If some dumb rear end hypothetical parent corporation started donating Critical Role proceeds to anti-LGBT think tanks or whatever, they’d immediately have

I realize he's going to have some lines he's not willing to cross, but being a sell out willing to hawk crap is the persona he's built up for himself across the two campaigns at this point.

You know the Kryn Dynasty going hard on 'gently caress the Gods, they just treat you as pawns and hurt you, the Luxon is perfect freedom' makes a lot of cultural sense from the point of view of growing out of a society of drow oppressed under Lolth and the reincarnation and longer elven lifespans keeping that in living memory. Probably pretty notable that goblinoids are also historically pretty hosed over by 'their' deity and the Beacons, according to the sourcebook, completely nullify the behavioral ancestral curse in any goblinoid born within their radius of influence, even if they don't have reincarnated souls. Actually, I just realized Nott's 'old clan' probably has a few little kids rn born without the curse and potentially with very old souls. That's fun!

If people would be worried about a hypothetical corporate buyout, I don’t think there’s anything to fear from these people.

After Avantika ducked off fro the boat, I figured that was that, and they'd never catch her. And they probably wouldn't have, if it wasn't for the break giving them a few moments to plan. But even so, those were some good rolls. I also appreciated how Caduceus handled Vess DeRogna. Saying what happened was "a long conversation", and they "have some baggage" didn't tell her anything, but it wasn't a lie or otherwise shutting the door on talking with her later.
