20:46 throwing some shade at mr. shorthalt

[@ScorchHellfire]

I love Laura's impression of Matt's freeze-framed, derpy freaking-out-and-pointing face. xD

[@kirbstommpgaming]

"Unless they're Feeble Minded." *flips hair* I love Marisha so much omg

[@om3ga109]

"...I just ate a banana." *The most Chaotic Neutral fruit of all.*

[@blackh9604]

Matt and Marisha banter is hilarious.

[@felipehonoriobs]

laura and travis are a relationship goal

[@SamundraDarion]

"You don't have to come up with songs, that's just Sam being an Asshole!" - BEST LINE!

[@jonahbrame7874]

I was so pumped to get to see this live! It was a bummer that Laura and Travis got stuck in California but it was so great of them to Skype in.

[@biobiobio7777]

Their discussion on the use of DnD for real personal anxieties really hit me. I saw how some individuals really changed themselves through DnD. Critical Role and the applications of it for people was what got my interested in it.

[@buerger3]

Travis can be glad that Laura has a problem with dice. It could be much, much worse. It could be shoes!

[@dubbingsync]

buerger3 yeah, at least dice take up less space... just means you can fit more

[@phillippowell7905]

Thanks again for another awesome upload

[@CriticalScope]

You're welcome Phillip :-)

[@UnknownWitcher]

@42:37 They're talking about Intellect Devourer(not Brain Devourer) if anyone's wondering (MM 191)

[@AncientSlugThrower]

Nnerroth First fought that asshole in Neverwinter Nights. I will never forget.

[@christianbriones7698]

Campaign 2 foreshadowing! Travis saying he likes half-orcs and Laura likes Tieflings O.O

[@eriklindbergs5017]

And Marisha confirms that's she's the BBEG all the way back here...

[@lancewhiteeagle3203]

Thanks for putting this up

[@CriticalScope]

[@ScorchHellfire]

1:34:55 Flash forward 3 years to when that's become a lot more literal. They didn't know how good they had it. :(

[@SamundraDarion]

When people can ask Questions without Mics - then this was a SMALL ROOM!

[@ScorchHellfire]

56:34 Or a 4-episode miniseries with freaking Khary Payton and Anjali Bhimani playing and Brian GMing. xD

[@Medic99z]

Laura's facial expressions are amazing. Travis, you lucky bastard

[@Dasbif]

The "All NPCs" list mentioned at about 8:20 can be found at www.critrolestats.com/running/ (as can tons of other running statistics about the show)

[@junkname9983]

Doordak, the Cedar King. lol

[@smuge3165]

travis and laura a re-born lord and lady briar wood

[@dubbingsync]

Smuge316 well that was their Halloween costume last year.

[@Eszra]

Only on the side of good.

[@krisbarski4226]

Laughing so much it took an extra hour to watch this.

[@Todasul47]

these were very interesting questions and great anwsers

[@ScorchHellfire]

7:53 And thus we got Beau, the equally socially awkward but much less nice and probably closer to Marisha's real personality incarnation. xD

[@sherylw4599]

I deeply love CritRole ! Such kind and funny people and oh my... the love. #Critters #CrittersFTW

[@guardianluna3550]

ty again critical scope and contributers!

[@SeanFeica]

You're welcome!

[@nicolasrodriguesdossantos1881]

1:14:18 - Real world affecting game? 2020 happened a few years later, so there is that.

[@gatall91]

Out of all the actors in Crit Role Percival would be the CE character lol

[@katmonahan700]

"I can't keep all my paladins straight!" -Marisha Ray Was that a pun?

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

What the hell happened to the camera guy at around 3 minutes in?

[@elliottc93]

Im watching it now and literally asked myself the same thing, i thought he was having a heart attack or something :O

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

Sounds like he legit hurt himself...

[@SeanFeica]

I was detaching the chair from the one next to me so I could get the camera more stable without having to adjust for the person right in front of me.

[@4717-b7j]

well glad you are ok Sean =)

[@elliottc93]

Yes glad you're ok Sean, it sounded painful.

[@captainhdean]

At 41:07 looks like Matt is taking some mental notes of what he's done successfully to mess with the players

[@ScorchHellfire]

23:09 Diablo Barbarians, not Paladins.

[@not2shabby]

28:25 AND SUDDENLY VIC!

[@CyberChamp]

That appearance hasn't aged well. Yikes.

[@korreyj]

what is the "G" word? 1:22:45

[@miskatonicrich2556]

I am also very curious.

[@ratpac_m]

I'm wondering the same thing. Anybody?

[@AlephSharp]

korreyj Godzilla

[@squallerrleon]

pronounced 'the "J" word' Kappa

[@sherylw4599]

Gif

[@oakenshadow6763]

"I shouldn't have called on you." Lol. 47:42

[@davidtimmer596]

Vic needs to be in Critical Role as a guest.

[@uniiyourbeloved6524]

Around the end i think i could here Vics panel in the other room :') i knew i saw him wearing that shirt before

[@Milo__M]

Another injection of criticalpanel before thursday, nice.

[@brettinabox5607]

i want someone to support me like Marisha supports Matt, their both great.

[@veng3r663]

My favorite villain would have to be Dr. Anna Ripley hand(s) down...

[@iOnRX9]

that’s just sam being EPIC!!!!

[@Eszra]

I officially want Vic on Critical Role either to screw with Travis or be his buddy for an campaign.

[@asuraaoki1925]

WILD VIC!

[@crosstar]

What happens at 1:10 ? I can't really hear

[@tessa5233]

Love marishas answer about d&d being used in school and therapy❤

[@rosenrot234]

47:15 I call mine Shark Week

[@SangokuKing]

What is the story behind @49:49 that blew Mercer's mind ?

[@timfrancisco7640]

In one of the episodes that Will Wheaton joined, Will just couldn't roll anything at all. There was a time where Will attacked 3 times and rolled a 1, a 2, and a 3. And consistently couldn't roll higher than about a 7.

[@jpumbaa1]

Then there was that one glorious Nat20.

[@JasperForge]

@@jpumbaa1 he had a few nat 20s

[@laughterdreamer]

what does Laura and then Travis say around 21:00? after Laura says "... if Vex dies or ends p leaving for no reason." Or did something else happen that suddenly everyone laughed?

[@JasperForge]

She was refrencing Scanlan leaving the group for a while

[@thancrow]

Is the Lady of Pain Loviatar?

[@author19creator]

I was "or doors" at 43:28

[@author19creator]

Also as funny as it was my group spent half a night trying to get into a freaking monastery and the one random kid with us opened the door no problem. I suffered 2 points damage.

[@Nick-jr1hn]

OMG if they had vic on critical role that would be the best thing ever

[@PyrotechNick77]

28:05 Uncle Qrow!!!!!!!

[@michaelwestendorf9105]

27:02 😂

[@danielpun2658]

The person's head that's just constantly in front of the Skype screen 😭

[@CriticalScope]

We're sorry. We did the best we could :-(

[@SeanFeica]

Seating was super tight. They switched chairs part way through to alleviate it. And you think head dodging in this one is a little bad, just wait for the other Matt/Marisha panel from the Friday night! I was dodging the most fabulously coloured sets of heads the entire time.

[@christofferhougaard]

The pointy finger thingy. WHERE CAN I FIND THE ORIGINS OF IT?! I DON'T KNOW THE STORY BEHIND IT AND I WANNA KNOW. PLEASE CAST MESSAGE AND TELL ME!!!! (Thx in advance)

[@lordvalinar774]

As much as I love D&D, my custom world I originally intended to be as a novel series (and might still one day..) it's low-magic though and D&D provides too many magical resources (items, classes, etc) that doesn't really work for me. :| BUT! I did find the Savage Worlds settings, so I'm going to convert my world over to that system. Not saying one is better than the other; just thought I'd post my thoughts in case any other DMs out there are thinking of a system for low-magic settings as well. They pretty much just give you the materials and let you shape the world how you want it to be. With a list of racial traits I was able to flesh out my races/cultures pretty easily following their guidelines. The skills and edges(like Feats) and powers are easily customizable as well. The -only- thing I have a gripe with is the combat system (using inches like those tabletop battle games - ie. Warhammer/War of the Ring(or something like that), etc.) but thankfully that's easy to edit to.... 1" = 1 hex(or grid square). Boom. :P Easy fix. lol

[@timgreen6384]

About Shortholt throwing a little shade give the man a break he is a Gnome and he only gets a 'little' shade to throw in the first place!

[@Jaxom35x]

OMG! Foreshadowing big time. Travis likes 1/2 orcs so makes one for campaign 2, Laura likes tieflings so makes one for campaign 2..AND...Travis making notes on how to play an evil character in a group....Fjord is evil!!

[@Viper3220]

"Alright the next questions we'll do short quick answers" Marisha: "So then this one time, at band camp" haha I love her stories but she totally disregarded the whole "Let's answer quick so more people can ask questions" lol

[@thegreenassassin553]

To be fair, from my experience, most people at cons tend to do that, both the people who ask the question and the ones who answer it.

[@sydney4814]

Uhhhh..... Marisha talked far less then Mercer did after he said "lightning rounds".

[@DeaconTaylor]

28:10 - how camp is vic? the complete antithesis of his captain kirk.

[@hawkeye4205]

1:05 1:51

[@MultiplexZYURANGER]

what is Matts book called? and where? tnx! lol

[@SeanFeica]

It's an official campaign guide based around the Tal'Dorei continent that is slated to be released this summer.

[@CriticalScope]

Published by Green Ronin, being released at GenCon in ~August 2017. Here's the info we have so far: greenronin.com/critical-role/2016/08/14/press-release-geek-sundry-and-green-ronin-to-create-critical-role-rpg-books/ www.reddit.com/r/criticalrole/comments/5n14go/no_spoilers_critical_role_adventure_book_has_a/

[@rolainiciativa]

No Critical Role to watch... Critical Panel instead! Awesome!

[@CriticalScope]

Yay!

[@matthewward2058]

who was the Vic guy?

[@cryofpaine]

Vic Mignogna. He's probably best known as the voice of Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist. He also plays Captain Kirk in the Star Trek Continues web series. www.imdb.com/name/nm0586003/

[@hunterxsky3019]

he also plays Qrow in the roosterteeth series Rwby.

[@LokNWykLeer]

What's the G-word?

[@AFLoneWolf]

LokNWykLeer gif

[@gacchan]

What did Matt's shirt say???

[@whoJGREYwhat]

It says: A miserable pile of Secrets

[@whoJGREYwhat]

correction: Miserable little pile of Secrets

[@death666753]

Why did Vic come to the panel? lol

[@whoJGREYwhat]

apparently at this con, the VAs kept walking into each others panels when they went by. See Marishas panel on how to kick ass.

[@SeanFeica]

AMKE is hilarious with VAs just storming into panels. It happens constantly.

[@drefk1973]

who the hell filmed this?

[@CriticalScope]

You'll find their names in the end credits. Why? Is something wrong?

[@Jeffk1]

Do the Briarwoods count as a steamrolled villain?

[@Brooke_Corbyn]

J Krall HA I get it

[@korrasmuscles]

Sucks that they could't make it in person

[@Connster212]

Korra aren't you the person who constantly posts hate on like the last 10 or so episodes

[@girlishgamer1]

Yeah I think I remember them.

[@veng3r663]

Meta-gaming ?? You mean like Vex' ahlia ALWAYS grabbing for the newest treasure..?

[@markdasaro9045]

Veng3r Meta-Gaming or is it because she has the highest perception skill.

[@WSPBane]

I think they are referring to the instances like when Percy is looting the Raven Queen Champion. Vex is over somewhere else where she really shouldnt know Percy is looting but she immediately runs over to get it first or get in on it. Those are the instances where she is really meta gaming.

[@JasperForge]

Syrath and she was punished by getting killed

[@LittleMissBlackBird]

Senokirs wife of both best and worst

[@JT1698]

Is there another source for watching these? The audio quality always is...bad.

[@IceAlchemist7]

They're all bad. That's what happens when these aren't professionally recorded.

[@CriticalScope]

Since we're not a professional company that have the money to have our own people on site, we are relying on other critters to record the panels. We think they are pretty good considering how we get the panels. If you would like to volunteer and record it professionally, please be our guest. We would love it to get people with professional gear to record these

[@SeanFeica]

I had equipment available to record a direct audio feed.. however the setup at the convention center was not designed for an additional balanced/mono output.

[@Mich199999]

know how hard it is to take video of a panel and get good audio quality? these cats are the only ones who put the time and effort to do this. so to answer your question no....these guys are awesome and i suggest speak with more respect since this is like the only source for the videos of the panels and the periscopes for easy viewing.

[@SeanFeica]

Also, unless you have paid for special press badges, and have set some form of agreement up WITH the convention prior to the event, you generally get about 1 min from the time you sit down, until you need to be setup and ready to go. Only better way to experience these panels, is by being at the convention and seeing them live. The audio on my phone is pretty much just as clear as you would have heard in person.

[@666ZOMBIEJOKER]
