![]() ![]() Looking for the legend of the thread of The Legend of Vox Machina? It has its own thread, right here! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Welcome to the CR C3 thread, where a bunch of nerdy rear end goons sit around and post about some nerdy rear end voice actors who sit around and play Dungeons & Dragons. Not sure what Critical Role is? Read this! Or keep reading this thread! ![]() Chances are, you've probably heard them just about everywhere! Your main cast is... MATTHEW MERCER: your DM of the session. He keeps the narrative going, builds the world, plays hundreds of NPCs, and allegedly has slept once or twice in his life. LIAM O'BRIEN: your extremely dramatic theater nerd is ORYM, the halfling fighter. He's previously played the half-elf rogue Vax'ildan in C1, and the human wizard Caleb Widowgast in C2. TRAVIS WILLINGHAM: your extremely large man scared of haunted houses is CHETNEY POC O'PEA, the gnome blood hunter and rogue. He's previously played the goliath barbarian Grog in C1, and the half-orc warlock Fjord in C2. LAURA BAILEY: your extremely superstitious dice queen is IMOGEN TEMULT, the human sorcerer. She's previously played the half-elf ranger Vex'alhia in C1, and the tiefling cleric Jester in C2. SAM RIEGEL: your extremely unhinged ad-copy reader is FRESH CUT GRASS, the aeormaton cleric. He's previously played the gnome bard Scanlan Shorthalt in C1, and the goblin rogue Nott the Brave in C2. MARISHA RAY: your extremely dangerous chair-climber is LAUDNA, the hollow-one sorcerer and warlock. She's previously played the half-elf druid Keyleth in C1, and the human monk Beauregard in C2. TALIESIN JAFFE: your extremely long lived eldritch being is ASHTON GREYMOORE, the earth genasi barbarian. He's previously played the human fighter Percival Frederickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo the Third in C1, and the tiefling blood hunter Mollymauk Tealeaf in C2. ASHLEY JOHNSON: your extremely talented actress from NBC's "Blindspot" is FEARNE CALLOWAY, the faun druid and rogue. She's previously played the gnome cleric Pike Trickfoot in C1, and the aasimar barbarian Yasha Nydoorin in C2. along with many guest appearances! ![]() They're available in VOD and pocast form in the links above! Broadcasts air live on Thursdays at 7pm PST on both Twitch and Youtube and typically run anywhere from 3-4 hours, though there's no set episode timer. VODs are available immediately after broadcast on Twitch for subscribers ( ![]() You can also check here for a countdown and start times in your local timezone! ![]() D&D is a tabletop roleplaying game, currently on its 5th Edition (5e.) Depending on the group, some place more emphasis on the game or the roleplaying aspects, and sometimes focus on both -- ranging from very seriously, to very casually. Critical Role is unlike your 'average' group, with dramatic character performances from voice actors and the expansive homebrewed setting of Exandria, concocted by a veteran DM who knows the rules inside and out. The setting of Exandria also appears in official D&D books, including the C1-inspired Tal'dorei Campaign Setting (out of print, new edition available soon!), the C2-inspired Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, and Call of the Netherdeep. ![]() 4 Sided Dive is the group's new monthly format where four of the cast discuss large chunks of the campaign, answer questions, pull from a chenga tower, and do some other weird bullshit! It features more in-depth character analysis and dumb tangents! This new show is the evolution of the previous show Talks Machina, which used to be hosted by some idiot. ![]() Possibly! While campaign 2 remains relatively self-contained and had the cast engage in a no-spoilers policy, campaign 1's events are far more directly referenced in 3, and will spoil some major events! For Campaign 1, it's recommended you start at episode 28 after the player Orion's departure. If you'd like to read about the associated drama, you can do so here. You may also want to view the pre-episode 1 history, from when C1 was just a home game! If you'd like to start campaign 2, the first 19 episodes are hosted on Geek and Sundry's Youtube channel, but you can follow this full campaign Youtube playlist instead! ![]() You can also check out the Critical Recap series of animated short videos recapping C2, or The Legend of Vox Machina animated series (coming 2022) covering events of C1! ![]() Critical Role also creates many (sometimes sponsored) one shot adventures! These can be a perfect place to test the waters and see if you like the format of the shows. There is also an on-going series called Exandria Unlimited where guest DMs and players intermingle and play shorter adventures in the same world as the primary campaigns! They also create completely unrelated shows and content, like a Let's Play series strung together by a bizarre narrative involving puppets! You can find such gems on their Youtube channel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Abroham Lincoln fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Dec 9, 2022 |

Those are both good suggestions! I'll add a section for anyone who doesn't know about D&D and put some links to the CR books in there. I do like some recommended one shots too, since it's also how I got into the show to begin with. The Terry Crews one I remember really liking because it had a beginner's perspective and showed the rolls+modifiers on-screen. Maybe the Darrington Brigade as well, just because it's possibly the best one shot they've ever done. ![]() e: I also submitted my predictions and I'm excited to be dead loving wrong

The 4 hour elf trance counts as 8 hours of normal rest so it'd get spell slots back, yeah. Realistically it just means you're asking your party to wait around for you extra long (a short rest is only 1 hour), or you have a lot of time where the rest of the party is still asleep - which is good for keeping watch and similar to other features like the Warforged one. Even if your party is all elves, that's pretty much just something your DM would adjust for. The bandit ambush doesn't arrive in 7 hours, it arrives in 3 hours. ![]()

TotalHell posted:Hilariously, this is not actually the case. They get the “same benefits of a human who slept for 8 hours” but this is also “not intended to replace a long rest.” Huh. I’m pretty sure that’s not how Matt ruled it for Essek that one time, since it’s what had Laura making the joke that the whole party should be elves.

Hulk Smash! posted:Maybe something for the OP: They did a write up of What is Critical Role that goes over what it is, who's on it, starting points, social medias, etc. I will definitely add this but also loling that the article straight up says like, "yeah maybe try listening at 2x speed"
