Critical role - Grogs Deck of Many things

[@sydneylyman8778]

"I'm already seeing someone" Laura said to her husband

[@Rebumai]

Man he looked super pissed when she deceived him and he rolled poorly lol

[@jacobmcquinn4364]

Honestly this is second to Laura being pissed at travis for letting Scanlan and Pike take the broom and nearly broke it

[@SeanicalMan]

Just the salt exploding from him. "You're not going to try to steal that shit too?" Genius.

[@joodee5813]

"You saved the party but your marriage is in jeopardy..." du du du dududu du du du du du duduuuuu dududududu

3:48

[@teeonhighhill8827]

I want him to use it again so bad. Travis takes chances in game and its fun to watch. He's also willing to go with the consequences good or bad.

[@aaronjjacques]

he can't the magic item says "Any cards drawn in excess of this number have no effect.". by declaring that he had one pull and only pulling one grog has gotten all his chances.

[@latiab.8151]

That just meant that at that time, if Grog had pulled more than one card, the other cards wouldn't have an effect. If he had it now and said he wanted to pull two, he could pull two and their effects would work, but no card effects after the first two would work. Additionally, if he'd said he wanted to pull two and only pulled one, the other card would fly out of the deck and activate on its own.

[@aaronjjacques]

there is no recharge effect on the magic item. Your interpretation would take way the negative consequences of the deck. Keep drawing until you got the wish and then wish away the bad effect. ie i wish i had drawn the wish card instead of "insert bad card here". Keep wishing until all the bad effects are gone. No one would ever risk drawing 4 cards if you could draw an infinite number of times, the only reason it has a 4 card limit is because you only get one shot at it

[@latiab.8151]

aaron jacques I had to go digging to find that! I'd never read any other description besides the 5E DMG, and there are no guidelines restricting players from drawing again in there. My DM let our party draw as many times as we wanted, as long as we declared how many cards we drew :P

[@aaronjjacques]

Well you were very lucky then, but if you read dmg magic items that recharge tell you how much they recharge, conversely single use items don't have a disclaimer that they can only used once so if it doesn't explictly recharge/renew then it is a single use. In 3.5 we had a lot of fun with a spent deck of many things. we made a full deck (nonmagical copies of the cards) and started playing poker with them at rival gambling houses. The card draws had no effect on us, but oh boy did they play havoc with the rival gamblers.

[@camrynsmith7631]

Who says Grog can't do magic, Travis just cast a level 9 spell. Spouse on the couch tonight.

The scene where Grog found the deck was even scarier than their first fight with Raishan.

This is perfect dnd. Travis you legend for taking it in your stride.

I LOVE that whisper at the end. "I'm so proud of you."

Oh my GOD TRAVIS! THOSE PUPPY EYES GEEZ You can tell, you can just TELL HE USES IT ALL THE TIME ON LAURA

Considering they are married, Someone is sleeping on the couch

[@author19creator]

Probably Laura

[@LordBalkanYm]

Didn't that actually happen when Grog pushed Trinket into the room of traps?

[@invictus_Vi]

Xanos Knightshade if you don't watch talks machina, Travis explains what happened following this scene. tldr; he was a bit pissed but not at her, at Grog's failed roll, and nobody slept on the couch that night or at all for that matter. He actually makes mention to the fact that Grog is LOYAL AF to his word to not pull from the deck, as that's kind of his thing.. So Laura should feel a bit more ashamed, but ultimately, he agreed that Grog is JUUUSUSST reckless enough to not have those cards.... for now, lol.

I love you can see the exact moment at 2:03 where the idea clicks into place in Laura's head hahaha

[@RylanStorm]

Patrick Rothfuss was actually going to DM this whole thing but he wanted there to be a break of 7 years between sessions.

[@vampyrerenee17]

After hearing him talk about this scene in a panel this past weekend I laugh so much harder

[@Bahatmogan]

That little whimper at 1:30 is adorable!

[@mrsiwtv]

1:39 what is Travis signing? I know enough sign language to recognize it's the ASL alphabet and there's some 'e's and a 4 in there so at first I thought he's signing - along with saying - 'forever' but the last letter he signs is an 'n' and there's some in between that i can't make out

[@pomonoli]

I think he signs "Forever", just as he says it

[@_luke795_]

When will Vex be stopped!? Her evil knows no bounds...

Laura is adorable when she is mischiveous.

[@codyhoyt3396]

It just happened to be the one episode that Travis is at the other table irony or not

[@fangsabre]

Idk, I feel like Travice would be totally ok with a random massive detour of their campaign, but everyone else wants to keep it serious and mot have a sudden ridiculous side quest. I can appreciate them wanting to stay on course, but ya gotta have a little ridiculous fun

[@jgrado3]

Going off those two dice rolls, that transaction was nice.

[@Sireas93]

It feels so bad and unfair towards Travis. I'm impressed how well he takes it.

[@bknwuzheer1]

such a cool item, and almost immediately it's sealed away, never to be touched again because of this stupid promise so much goddamn potential!!!!

[@mordirit8727]

Never to be touched again. Someone likes to bitch before time...

[@LOCKEYJ]

Premature assessment

[@chromaphasia453]

Nak Attack the deck has a few cards that are just instant character death, unless they edited it to be less deadly.

[@darkJman77]

Baron11704 yea the deck in 5e leans a lot to the bad end of the spectrum. Most of all of the good cards requires you to do something and the bad stuff is instant.

[@PureGoldNeverCorrodes]

Can cards be reused?

[@slifer4174]

Funny thing is, the deck of many things can be called back to its owner's person. He could've taken it without her knowing but I doubt he knew that can happen

[@dru_unkpikachu5551]

whats the source on that? ive never heard of that before.

[@thedocblock6421]

I just, like I want to give Grog a fuckin' hug man.

[@rimurutempest4945]

I love how people hate this moment so much, claiming that they took the fun out by sealing the cards or not letting Grog use it, but then get pissed off when SPOILERS Grog pulled the Void card out and got transported to the Planes of Pandemonium.

to be fair not giving character with intelligence of 6 what essentially is a nuclear weapon codes is the correct choice

[@Cragified]

@@xelloskaczor5051 The Deck isn't a tool of mass destruction. It's only dangerous to the one who draws the cards. Only the Wish and Skull cards can really affect the party as a whole and the Wish is 'good' and the Skull only effects the others if they try to join in.

I don't think they did.

Instead of a deck use a machine like Zoltan en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_teller_machine Makes it cooler and makes some of the limitations of the deck usage make more sense. Like why you have to announce how many cards you draw in advance, why you can't see the deck cards beforehand, why you can't draw ever again from the same deck, etc.

Even after all this, this scene still ticks me off. Let the barbarian have some fun ;-;

[@Bah56]

I don't know what Grog's passive perception is, but wouldn't that have been used instead of a roll? It'd likely have been better than a 9

[@TPBurrow]

Grogs Passive perception is 10, so his modifier is zero. So it all comes down to his dice roll.

[@Bah56]

I was just curious because Scanlan had to roll sleight of hand (got 20) to tickle Percy's knee during the love potion stuff and Vex didn't have to roll against it with a passive perception of 23. Since she rolled a 9 here, I figured Grog would win that if it was over 9. But then again, I have no clue, I haven't played before.

[@tomclark2908]

Bah56 that’s because perception checks are if they are actively looking for things while passive perception is what they just happen to notice. If you roll really low on perception you can’t just use passive perception instead

[@branchtree448]

@@tomclark2908 Yeah. Grog trusted Vex on that one and wasn't actively looking out wether the leather pouch was fake or not.
