I believe that is the true secret of their success. We are all so starved for positive human connections in this world of rampant corruption. Their intentional emphasis on loving and honoring each other is exactly why I tune in every chance I get. The incredible story telling is just a massive bonus.

[@Logan_Baron]

I've been saying that that is the thing that really makes Critical Role great. They are all extremely talented and creative and now they've got good money behind them for a pretty elaborate set up, etc. But I think if you put that much talent together with a lot of money it still wouldn't be that great if it wasn't REAL friends who care about each other playing a game they love.

The girls did AMAZING work with the vocals! My husband has this on his Spotify and we both sing along every time we watch the show 🖤💚💙❤️🧡💚

[@DanielGurney]

These guys are artists. Often forget that. They are brilliant and so talented and, most importantly, great friends. I love this whole outfit.

[@HeedNotTheRabbit]

The new arrangement of this song is so so cool!

[@TheDisquietingNight]

It befits the team. Vox Machina seems action-oriented, while Mighty Nein is mystery-oriented

[@mech0p]

the talent in this group is amazingly insane

watching this after watching the series and listening to so many hours of the campaigns, I can appretiate all the work you guys have done. thank you so much!

[@regrolli]

Thank you so much for showing this. It's amazing to see how the song came together! I absolutely cannot wait for the animated series. 🤩

[@voiceofsofia6657]

OMG I can't believe how much money they've managed to raise and I'm just soooo happy that they can create this. They all seemed so excited about this project and thinking back to what the campaign was just a few years ago makes me so proud of them for coming this far and proud of being part of such a wonderful community. I will always be a critter. I love you all cast and crew of Critial Role! Also, I think I've found my new favorite song.

[@sleepinghermit7778]

And he will never post again because he got his phone wet........ But it was worth it!

[@Cal_Stonehoof]

So excited for the animated series. Loving these little bits and pieces along the way. Still heartbroken that I couldn't donate to the kickstarter though. Hopefully there will be one with MN though

[@NorrinRadd1991]

Travis and Laura’s relationship is just so adorable

[@missellaneous5142]

This song is amazing. It would be great to hear some of the raw recordings. Oh, and will Ronin get a performer credit?

[@omegagilgamesh]

Maybe credit as an assistant.

[@phoenix352]

@@omegagilgamesh Producer.

[@sleepinghermit7778]

Nope, muses don't get credit.

[@AlexJade]

2 years later watching this and realizing how much colm mcguinness is blowing up right now.

[@mistermerced]

The fact that Ashley is wearing a boa while recording is the greatest thing I’ve seen today 😂

[@phoenixrising7736]

These guys are so amazing… I think the purity of critical role for me is their friendship is genuine. Everything they do starts with fun or a joke or just a hey haha what if? The fact these people are famous but I watch these clips and I see they are literally just family like my group is… my heart loves that so much.
