Liam: The mating dance of the Dungeon Master is a rare sight indeed!

[@mikbdee2186]

And it worked to! She saw that and married him.

[@thomasnolastname8734]

Matt rolled for seduction, and got a Nat 20

[@treyclaymor3409]

Matt has said he suffers from body dysmorphia where he can't even look at himself sometimes. To see him dance to "Sexy and I Know It," completely own it, AND sing along is absolutely heartwarming.

[@DevilWearsAdidas]

This is straight competitive nature. Nothing but. This is him playing to win

[@Fiondra]

@@DevilWearsAdidas that was my first thought too, BUT, singing the song doesn’t assist in winning, if anything it distracts. 😆 That makes me think he really was getting into it.

[@DevilWearsAdidas]

@@Fiondra it's more of showing off. Competitive natures will do thay

[@sumyungai85]

Showing off and distracting the opposition through mind games. It's a brilliant play for someone whose bottom line is win.

[@ariaflame-au]

Whatever Matt does, he does 100%

[@NoWayAnyHow]

DM doesn’t just stand for Dungeon Master, it also mean Dance Master

[@kaitlynwickham6237]

My favorite things about this: -Matt singing along -Travis screaming "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" just before the first drop

[@qualandrew201494]

"the mating dance of the dungeon master is a rare sight"

[@shadowfan5480]

My favorite thing is that Matt can show up everybody IN JEANS

[@AngelofYugo]

Travis screaming release the kraken... I think we just saw the small spark of thought that created fjords story in campaign two ignite

[@AwesomeAsadaf]

Confidence is sexy and Matt is completely owning this

[@NeverQuiteAlex]

"Matt, make a performance check." "Natural 20."

[@Just_a-guy]

With disadvantage because you are wearing jeans. Still nat 20

[@pendrake40]

*@NeverQuiteNaked ~* It is more accurate to say that Dungeon Master Matt Mercer has/had a _Proficiency Bonus_ and _Advantage._ *;)* 1. *_Proficiency_** ~* In interviews, it has been revealed that Mercer is a proficient (real life p-roficient, not just D&D P-roficient) dancer; one of the (many) reasons that Marisha Ray fell in love with Mercer. 2. *_Advantage_** ~* For playing Dance Party itself, singing along does help with in-game performance, because it helps the Player keep in-time with the song. I do this (sing along) when I play Dance Party myself (when I know the song); it really does help.

Matt Mercer aggressively pelvic thrusting at the camera to music isn’t a sight I ever thought I’d see lol

How comfortably that Marisha chants “thrust” as he’s doing it is definitely bringing ideas about them that I never thought I’d ever think about.

[@elbruces]

I've noticed that Matt throws himself into everything like he has to win. He's low-key hyper-competitive. Given his body dysmorphia this would be tough to do, but he's even more driven to do it the best.

[@SatieGnossienne]

I don't read it as competitiveness at all... I only see a man who's passionate about what he's doing.

[@andreaceleste4318]

Low-key hyper-competitive?! Duuuude have you ever seen him on Yee-Haw Game Ranch playing Smash Bros??

[@elbruces]

@@andreaceleste4318 Have you seen him on CollegeHumor's "Um, Actually?" He shows up to win. And he always wins. I'm not saying he's a big-ego guy, but whenever I've seen him pitted in a competition, he brings it.

[@joshshin6819]

He has said he is competitive but unlike most people he isnt a dick about it. He doesnt try and demoralize others to win unlike most of the people reading this who play online games. He isnt a sore loser either. He is the healthy kind of competition.

[@elusivegamergirl]

This isn’t competition. This is the Dungeon Master letting go and shaking off stress to dorky music (and singing along to it), while his wife and friends watch and cheer him on. He is showing sexy amounts of confidence here, and just having a good time with friends, with everyone relaxing and enjoying themselves. He may have a competitive streak and show up to win in a competitive environment, because that’s his inner DM showing through and helping him focus and win, but ego has nothing to do with it. He’s healthy competition when he plays with others, and he’s not obnoxious about it, whether he’s winning or losing. This game is just him cutting lose and not caring if he looks like a complete and utter dork in front of his friends and his girl. She looks at him like he’s the only man in the world for her, as she and the others cheer him and each other on through each song and I love it so much 💕💕💕💕

If I had just 1% of the confidence this man has I’d be doing pretty good in life 😂

[@jessecaalvarez-kuykendall7071]

I get what you mean. Crazy thing is, he has serious body dysmorphia which makes him hyper critical of his appearance, yet he pushes through and does a show at least once a week where he's on camera. I think this is a testament to his perseverance rather than just his confidence. True courage is being terrified of something and doing it anyway.

[@Pluto137]

it's the theatre side of him breaking thru things

[@bolverko]

There is no observable difference between pretending to have confidence and actually having it. This is why D&D is so great. Because you can learn how to pretend to have confidence in a safe setting.

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]
