Beyond the Table: Chapter 3 - A Mighty Chapter (Critical Role Docuseries)

[@MetFreak42]

Excellence, as always! @7:05 May I offer a small correction? The group name of "The Mighty Nein" is actually a twofold meta-referrence to the fact that all of the players were always rolling "9"s for their skill checks... It happened sooo damn often... and being as a 9 is like, such a high-end-of-low roll (most simple skill check DC's will be auto set to 10 by a majority of DM's) that it became a frustrating and hilarious way to embrace the chaos early on. Some had to do with player character stats being so low at levels 2-4, more often had to do with the players just having bad dice luck. Then there was also the pall of losing the Golden Snitch, which was a whole other business. So, Mighty Nein really was a way of the group embracing the chaotic hilarity of those "shitty" dice rolls, more so than the character group saying "no" to various opportunities being presented. But also yes, the "Nein" part of the spelling was simply because it was Caleb presenting the name, and speaking it in Zemnian.

don't apologize for taking your time, you are doing a very specific dive and making sure you are correct. That is more important.

The character sheet for baby gets me every time. Seriously the cutest thing ever.

Fantastic video!! It blows me away how much CR did in 2018. And they had still their full time voice acting/directing and producing careers!! Wow...

[@kasiamleczarska9078]

Hi there! I'm so excited for a new video in your docuseries which I've been following from the beginning. These recaps always make me emotional. Just one thing I'd like to point out: the name Mighty Nein was not related to the group saying "no" to things (which I don't think is true at all) but to them rolling 9's a lot in those first episodes, to which they often reacted shouting, "Nein!". It may be a small detail but it struck me as odd that you got that bit wrong, especially since the image of a d20 showing a 9 is often present in their merchandise, etc.

[@sombrashadow0013]

I really hope that anyone involved with CR sees this. Its clear you put a lot of effort and love into this video. Keep up the amazing work

[@tooooooobi]

Danke!

[@HymnsAndRacketball]

Great stuff! When is chapter 4?

[@mustang1888]

Love this video. Thanks for being respectful. I became a critter during C2, around lvl 5.

[@tezuka3752]

I know im late to this.... but i need more. Just more Critical Role

[@mateh.5539]

To me this was the golden age of critical role. Great Docu series !

[@spaceman9599]

Well done JR. Viewing with interest. Don't worry about the production rate. Quality > quantity, and life needs things to live :)

[@sambattraw7684]

Hey man it’s been forever! These videos are awesome

[@DaniGeez]

I love that this came out on their M9 anniversary when it started.

[@queenofpups]

love this series so much! the quality you've put into it is insane, absolutely awesome job! i can't wait for the next one

[@jennadolinger2058]

Ooo finally! I’m glad you’re back!!

[@FableM]

Can't wait for more episodes!

[@nicolaithomsen9473]

Cant wait for the rest of this series. Take your time

Thank you so much for this comment, I’m always stressed about finishing it, so it’s nice to have support regardless!

[@bennieboi20]

About to sit and watch this! Looking forward to it

[@ZenithTech35]

Gosh, what I wouldn't give to go back and relive campaign 2 all over again fresh. I wholeheartedly believe it is some of the best media ever released. I honestly wish that in another life the situation with Brian Foster didn't go so horribly. Certainly and foremost so that Ashley didn't have to go through it all, but also because I really thought he was an incredible talkshow host. Talks really drove Critical Role home for me, and was a great way to experience the cast in a more relaxed space just one on one. Miss the good ol' days so much :,)

[@Nobody-dl4tm]

I really wish between the sheets and talks machina was still available. That was some of my favorite content. Pullout King!!!

[@JRCollections]

It is really tragic, but I understand where they are coming from, just a sad situation

[@Nobody-dl4tm]

@@JRCollections yeah... Sucks balls. But still, that was great content. I'm sure they would keep it available if they could.

[@Nobody-dl4tm]

Great work btw! I forget about your doc series then it comes back and makes my day!

[@stacieransom5677]

My grandson has been singing the CR theme songs since he was just barely 2. He's a little over 3 now. Lol he even hims the music during breaks AND the theme of the cartoon. Lol hes very drawn to their music. Ive even caught jim himming the background music during episodes.

[@hexplicit5198]

Loving this so much, so many memories. Thank you for doing this!

[@nashespiritu]

Brilliant video, really enjoyed it and appreciate the work you put into it. I'm excited for more

[@AmrisaLoftus]

I absolutely loved this video. You did a beyond( now I have the D&D Beyond theme in my head) awesome job. Your enthusiasm shows through so much. I was in teas of joy. Keep up the quality of work I love to call "awesomesause".

[@indytom01]

Another awesome episode! It always blows me away to learn new things about the incredible history of Critical Role, the inspiring and talented cast, and looking back on the campaigns. Please, please, please, keep up the great work.

[@bennieboi20]

this was amazing thank you for the throwback! Cant wait for the rest of the series take your time and make sure that you're happy with it!

Any update on chapter 4?

Yes! I was actually going to make a post, it is on its way! I just Graduated College this week and have had my plate FULL, but things have opened up and you can expect another episode soon!

[@ben5676755]

Love this. Really cool to see this all put together like this. Getting to relive a section of my life. Kind of wild how long I've been watching these nutter butters ❤

[@stacieransom5677]

Dont forget the video of the making of their Campaign 2 themesong.

[@dimimluiz]

HOLY SHIT LETS GO! excited to watch it later

[@Kinslow22]

Mighty nein is unmatched it’s the best campaign they have done and idk if they can ever top it

[@kazoosc]

I always took the group's name Mighty Nein -- as a reference to sub-par dice rolls . . a 9 or lower, nein/no as the response to a skill check

[@JRCollections]

yes, I think this was a detail I overlooked and will be corrected in the final rendition!

[@scottspence7623]

Love the work. One tiny correction the name Mighty Nien was a running gag. As the cast couldn't roll above a 9 for the first shows

[@JRCollections]

You are totally right! They did roll a lot of low numbers during that time, I will remember to correct that in the final!

[@snowbearer]

First hanbooker helper turning into hamburger helper slid as a fun little jab. Second... Not so much. But with so much to cover and record, mistakes are to be expected. Awesome video once again!

Absolutely adore this series! Can't wait for the next one. Small correction for this episode. Alhambra is not a suburb of Los Angeles, but its own city near LA. It has existed as a city since 1903 😊 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra,_California

NEELA, not NEyela. Its an E sound, not an I sound. All the love but one cant listen to people saying the name a thousand times and get it wrong.
