Legend of Vox Machina: Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, & Liam O'Brien Share Critical Role Memories

[@AmethystEnd]

I did a doubletake when I saw what channel this was on. Nostalgia.

saaaame

same here wow

[@widget918]

Me too lmao. Immediately assumed it was old!

[@lewisworley7830]

Same same

[@davidparkes7741]

It's cool that they did this cause without G&S picking them up, we wouldn't eventually have the tv series.

[@turbonerdo6838]

Nerdist is the publication who did the interview, G&S just got to mirror the video for some reason.

[@Atomy111]

@Dayspring Remember project alpha? They shot that thing and burried it somewhere aswell :D

[@VulcanWolf]

@@Atomy111 Project Alpha shouldn't have even made it to the idea board. It was around then that I left G&S to it.

[@therealJeXus]

@@turbonerdo6838 nerdist = G&S

[@sharkcerer]

Matt only met Liam thanks to Resident Evil 6, so. If it weren’t for that game, we wouldn’t have this.

[@squirmyd1234]

Shout out to percy's name massively over shooting the red bar it was placed over during that intro when he first started talking

[@oliviabates1503]

I love the fact that Percy's full name doesn't even fit in the background element XD

[@anathem9982]

it's cool to see that there is still a friendship between CR and G&S

[@johnobrien7562]

I love that Felicia is voicing a couple characters in this. Still hoping they can just move the Slayer's Take to the Chroma Conclave arc to get Lyra, Zahra, Kashaw & Thorbir

[@Nighteye2]

G&S is like a proud parent to CR, I imagine ^_-

[@cryofpaine]

@@johnobrien7562 yes! Hopefully we get many more seasons. If they get to the CC, Slayer's Take absolutely has to be part of it.

[@GaretheDen]

I mean, they posted this video on Nerdist as well (seems to be a common practice on the sister sites for similar videos). Really it's a LDN collab. Dan's moved up in the world...looks like he's the VP of creative & development for LDN. It makes sense that they would slap some G&S branding on a version of the interview, but I'm always a little bit bummed whenever Becca shows up on G&S or a seemingly random video pops up. Bittersweet. Great memories of what was, while also a bummer that the shell of this channel is still being propped up with zero intent to invest in its return.

[@cryofpaine]

@@GaretheDen it's really sad. The golden age produced some amazing things, but it was short lived.

[@yeetatron1163]

Taliesin casually has a deer skull. That's how they summon him, after all

[@ChrissRoss1]

next to an oil lamp.

[@llewtree3013]

He has to be bound to a nearby ancient object or he won’t appear

[@roykrzeszewski2569]

What you expect nothing but the best for our dark one😁

[@amsbeats841]

it's a component of the spell

[@NyxTyrianthinus]

I am so jealouse of the deer skull, I just have a boar jaw that I found in the forest =/ but at least it has moss on it. Moss basicly makes everything better.

[@Rick_Harper]

Watching Critical Role on G&S… feels like yesterday, it is yesterday.

[@hawkthorn33]

Some times I will watch some of the campaign one, just to see the dry erase battle map, and the ability to read chat...

[@Aerxis]

It is, now! Haha

[@kalipassion04]

Glad CR gave this much deserved nod to Geek. This needed to happen. Before you do anything you should always go home. Very classy CR & Geek.

[@ravenna6543]

Percy's name running off the queue because its so long LMAO I'm dying over here hhahahahaha

[@flatline8580]

I'd listen to Laura Bailey read a phone book, so I'm like times a hundred with this cast. Let's go!

[@Dyundu]

She's up for best VA for the annual anime awards! Audience votes are open! Kinda surprised all the Critters out there haven't been voting en masse for her at this point, tbh.

[@Jeffjway]

Link please. I can't find anything on the Annie's page, so is it another award?

[@changsiah2]

just like matt mercer MercyMe even if ourselves at least but call Nick's on her just going to let her be happy anyways lots of luck yes I know I know she is going yeah I do enjoy her work at least hello yes I'm more familiar with her for pretty much be English voice like Maka Albarn from Soul Eater game work like Jaina Proudmoore in World of Warcraft, Rise Kujikawa in Persona 4, the Female Protagonist in Persona 3 Portable, Chun-Li in Street Fighter, Serah Farron in Final Fantasy XIII, the title role in Catherine, Serana in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dawnguard, Oriana Lawson in Mass Effect 3, Lucina in Fire Emblem: Awakening, Abigail "Fetch" Walker in Infamous Second Son and First Light, Fiona in Tales from the Borderlands, Nadine Ross in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and The Lost Legacy, and Kait Diaz in Gears of War. ( Destiny with you at least) as well as as well as a go-to girl for black widow or Mary Jane in most Marvel work it is nice to see you reprising her role in The Legend of Vox Machina.

[@TakManSan]

The NERDS we Need! So great that this whole hobby is getting such a bright light shone on it!

[@pharrigan-hikes]

Thanks Geek & Sundry! It was through your other shows like TableTop that my brothers and I started watching Critical Role in 2016. We were like "what are these hours long videos that keep appearing in our subscription tab?" Eventually my brother started watching and then we all did and its been an amazing ride.

[@Rosiepedia]

What a lovely full circle this was 😊

[@jebnordost7487]

Percys title just casually going way longer than the textbox

[@steelangel9039]

B...but that's the _name_ of the character, not even the title 🙂

[@Nargon46]

You know whats amazing about this show? Every big set piece gives me warm fuzzies because they feel so familiar. Weather it be Emon, the Keep, Whitestone, etc, everything is somehow just as I imagined it. Now, I only started listening to Critical Role starting C1 E1 a year ago, and I'm just now finishing C1, but I think it is not only a testament to Matt's descriptive storytelling but also a huge kudos to the design team for finding a way to literally make these wonderful dreams a reality. Thank you guys for all that you do! Long Live Vox Machina!

[@Parkesview]

Taliesin having a skull behind him is wildly appropriate

[@vworpin9945]

crazy seeing Critical Role back on Geek & Sundry, weirdly nostalgic. Insanely happy that they've been doing well with their own company and all the great stuff they've been producing because of becoming independant but part of me does miss when it was just a little low budget stream.

[@mothafraker]

Liam is spot on with his friends to family comment. Funny how D&D has a way of doing that.

[@sally3603]

Tal has a skull behind him. Presumably the one he uses to communicate with the demons

[@ShellySummers]

I hope they show Vox's true enemy this season. The evil doors 😄

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Jim Morrison was indeed some shady MF. ;)

[@elbruces]

I think one of the preview scenes has them dealing with a door. Look up "my toothpick."

[@amodelmannequin]

I have a feeling we'll see them struggle with doors. The real questions is if we will see them quarrel with old people?

[@sigma_azn]

Yeah, they already gave a preview of them trying to open a door

[@TenzinBeifongIII]

No need to worry about that ;)

[@WildWallaceMusic]

Love how they put percys full name at the bottom when Tallesin starts talking

[@The_Leftysaurus]

AAAAAH~ SO excited for the show!!! Seeing these characters alive on screen like this again, it's gonna be aaamaaazinnggg

[@peoswriter1]

That was fun to watch. You can see how much everybody is enjoying the interview.

[@alexeggleston6832]

I saw an ad for the adventure of vox machina and I just about cried! I'm so happy for and proud of y'all for an amazing series! Keep on rocking it and let your geek flag fly! 💜

[@fortelilac6522]

I'm currently watching all of campaign one, and I am just loving it. It is so good and G&S are so good and all. It feels right G&S are doing this

[@georgefernandez2566]

I was damm intimidated by starting campaign 1, so much so I never started till recently. Yet I started 2 months ago and have not regretted it. I should be done by the time the Legend of Vox Machina airs!!!

Of COURSE Taliesin has a wax cylinder phonograph

[@steelangel9039]

Well, maybe he was recording Vex & Vax on wax?

[@donaldwilson789]

He bought it when it was new

To use the chorus from a fan-made CR song: What a journey we've taken What a journey it's been We've gathered our friends And we've turned into kin Raise a glass to your brother Raise a glass to your sister Raise a glass to your lover Raise to Vox Machina

..in the tune of "it's your turn to roll"? :D

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@Ekami-chan : Not exactly -- more, as I imagine it, and as the writer of the song wrote it, I see it as a tavern shanty. Especially, my head-canon being, on Exandria, there are bards that learn the songs for both Mighty Nein and Vox Machina, and they sing them in taverns and around for generations afterward. Here is a link to the original song -- and if you like shanties of any kind, you'll love What a Journey by Megami: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXjJgadur7V9odU

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@masquerademage : You're welcome! I always love listening to shanty-style songs; I'm not sure why, though I suspect it's because I'm half-Irish and part Swedish/Viking in my ancestry. And both cultures like to sing songs around a fire, around a tavern, or even around sharing a drink or two. Before I forget: If you do actually watch C2, just be warned that there are points in the story that will make you think, that will make you teary-eyed or cry, and there will be surprises.

What if Matt did a Taldori alternate reality game. Everyone has their old chars with the C1 campaign knowledge but its the first day they met again. lore is twisted in the new timeline... The Briarwoods story for taking over could be legit. Theres no dark Percy... Vax is no longer bound to his fate, but Matt could chase him with echos of the RQ in dreams... Scanlan can seek out his unknown with help of his friends.

I am 91 episodes into Campaign 2 thanks to the animated series. Played D&D as a kid in the 70s. Critical Role has improved the game. I am looking forward to season 2 with the Chroma Conclave and, hopefully, Season 3 with Vecna. Then they can animate the Mighty Nein.

I feel it would be offensive if they took Orion's character when he clearly doesn't want to be associated with CR anymore. It's really the best option for both parties to leave him out. (Plus I'm pretty sure Orion has the rights to him anyway)

[@steelangel9039]

How about: for the same reason that Vox Machina is not featured in "Draconian Knights" or whatever the name of that project was. Sometimes people need to part ways to do each their own thing and succeed... or to fail and learn from that the hard way.
